Working with Todd Montgomery as first-time home buyers in San Francisco was an incredible experience. We were searching for a single-family home under $2M in a very competitive market, and Todd made what initially felt overwhelming completely manageable. From day one, he stood out as professional, knowledgeable, and extremely thoughtful in how he explained the process. He took the time to truly listen to what we wanted and consistently gave honest, grounded advice. What we appreciated most was that he was always realistic without ever making us feel like homeownership was out of reach. Todd was also incredibly responsive, flexible, and available whenever we needed him. Even when we were out of town one weekend, he went out of his way to coordinate private showings for us, with some even happening after 9pm, which made a huge difference in such a fast-moving market. We only spent two weekends touring homes with Todd and submitted two offers. On our first, we came in second, which gave us confidence we were on the right track. For our second, we viewed the home at 10pm the night before offers were due, and Todd helped us put together a strong, competitive, winning offer by 11am the next morning in less than 24 hours. He invested a huge amount of time walking us through every step of the offer process, from reviewing disclosures to crafting a compelling offer letter, developing a pricing strategy, and sharing detailed comps so we fully understood how to stay competitive. Behind the scenes, Todd went above and beyond, leveraging his network, calling listing agents, and gathering insights that strengthened our position. As we explored homes with renovation potential, he was also incredibly helpful in providing realistic cost estimates, which gave us confidence in evaluating different options. He remained flexible and open-minded throughout. No matter what homes we sent his way, even outside our initial criteria, he was always willing to dig in and help us assess them thoughtfully. Even after our offer was accepted, Todd continued to support us through closing and beyond. He helped coordinate details to get the home ready for move-in, including handling the lock changes and even reconfiguring them to our preference, which really showed his attention to detail and commitment to his clients. At every step, we felt we could fully trust Todd to represent our best interests and guide us to the right decisions. We couldn't recommend Todd more highly, especially for first-time buyers navigating a competitive market. He combines deep expertise with genuine care, and that made all the difference for us. We would absolutely work with him again when the time comes. read more

I cannot recommend Todd and the team at Compass enough. I did not know that white glove service in real estate existed, but it definitely does. From the very first contact to the completion of the sale, Todd was an absolute professional; providing hands on service throughout the entire process. The tone of each conversation was always reassuring and put me immediately at ease throughout what can be an incredibly stressful process. From his thoughtfully strategic pricing, and getting the property ready for sale to holding my hand while through each step of the close, Todd and his team over-exceeded my expectations. They continued to move forward with getting the property cleaned, painted, and staged while I was away and dealing with a family emergency. They made sure we made each of our target dates. Three offers within less than 4 days on the market. Amazing! I am so grateful for all they did and know I would not have gotten that level of service from my past agent. I look forward to working with Todd and his team in future. read more

Todd facilitated the best first home buying experience we could have asked for! Although buying a home is a stressful experience, Todd was there for us at every step along the way. He did a great job of keeping us informed on all of the intricacies of buying a home in the Bay Area, advocated for us when we had to secure a loan on short notice, and continues to connect us with trusted vendors with all of the necessary home repairs. Todd is incredibly dedicated to his work and clients. He was always available for any questions we had, no matter the time of day. He did so much work and research behind the scenes that made the process go smoothly. We would highly recommend working with Todd for all of your real estate needs! read more

We had a great experience working with Todd Montgomery at Compass. He was professional, responsive, and guided us through every step of buying our home. Thanks to his expertise, the process was smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend! read more

Earlier this year, I wanted to find and buy my first house, a single family home in or near Noe Valley. At the time, the market was tight with low inventory in my budget range. Todd was my buyer's agent who skillfully guided me and helped me stay relatively calm along the way. I ended up buying a wonderful house that I am enjoying every day. Todd was instrumental in making that happen. When I first met Todd, he impressed me with his knowledge of the local market, his openness and listening skills, and clear explanations. Most importantly, I felt that Todd wanted to help me get a house that I would love to live in. Todd listened carefully to my needs and preferences, and he set up a nice web portal with matching listings. He was always respectful of my budget guidelines, while also keeping me updated about the market. As we viewed properties together, he gave me extremely useful and candid feedback about each one's pros and cons. Todd never urged me to get to a deal. Instead, when I wanted to make an offer, he was a little concerned that I might be acting too quickly. But after some discussion about how much I liked the house and that I didn't want to wait for inventory to rise, we decided to go for it. Todd produced a rigorous comparables analysis of recently sold properties in similar condition to establish an accurate estimate of the fair market price. He also took many steps to ensure that our offer was strong and attractive. In the end, our offer was chosen in a competitive situation. Todd has a great network of various types of professionals to consult with or hire for each stage of the buying process -- from applying for a mortgage to closing escrow, and even after purchase to locksmiths, electricians, handypersons, etc. After I moved in, Todd and his team have continued to help me with various minor odds and ends with the house. If you want a real estate agent who is focused on helping you get to the best possible outcome and has the work ethic and skill to make it happen, I highly recommend getting in touch in Todd to see if there's a good fit. read more

I cannot sing the praises of The Montgomery & Lee Team loudly enough. If you're navigating the often-overwhelming world of buying or selling a home in the San Francisco market, look no further than this incredible team. From my initial consultation to the day The Montgomery team sold my home in a very short period of time. My agent, Rob, was an absolute superstar. His in-depth understanding of the local market trends, combined with their genuine care and attention to my needs, made what could have been a stressful process feel remarkably seamless. I had to relocate to New York City for work and with Rob's amazing guidance, we were able to market and list my home in under a week with the final sale coming a week or so after. This was an incredible turn around! Rob also went above and beyond at every turn. He was incredibly responsive, always addressing my questions swiftly and thoroughly. His proactive communication kept me informed and confident throughout the entire journey. When it came to negotiations, Rob was a fierce advocate, ensuring I got the absolute best deal possible. What truly sets The Montgomery & Lee Team apart is their unwavering commitment to client satisfaction. I never felt like just another transaction. The entire team was supportive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. They patiently guided me through the complexities of the process, breaking down confusing jargon and ensuring I understood my options. Selling a home under a time constraint is quite stressful and they made the process as smooth as possible. Because of Rob and The Montgomery & Lee Team I was able to sell my home over ask. If you're serious about finding or selling your perfect property, I wholeheartedly recommend Rob and The Montgomery & Lee Team. Their professionalism, market expertise, and genuine care for their clients are unmatched in the industry. You won't regret placing your trust in this exceptional brokerage. read more

We moved back to the bay this year and hired Todd to help us find a single family home under a tight timeline, when inventory was low. We couldn't have asked for a better realtor. His commitment to finding us the right home was evident in every step of the process. His expertise and guidance were invaluable! read more

It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Todd and his team! We first had a meeting in his office to explain what kind of apartment we were looking for. He made lots of notes, and we felt right off the bat that he was the right person to help us with our purchase. What really stands out about Todd is that he always thinks ahead of what the client might want. He really made a stressful time in our lives as easy as possible. He is very professional, knowledgeable, and also very responsive. He was never overbearing, but did his job with tact and class. He seemingly knows everybody in this business, which we think was helpful during the bidding process. We cannot recommend Todd any higher for your San Francisco real estate needs. He's outstanding! read more

Rob and his team were spot-on in every way with representing us not just on one SF home sale, but two! A sweet little early 1900's Victorian and a four story spec-home with views and roof top deck located at the top of Manchester Street in Bernal Heights. Both times he guided us through the process with ease, in record time and offers accepted well over ask. His contractors, landscapers, movers and stagers were true pros, with most of the work overseen by Rob and Sandy while we were away enjoying our new home in the Pacific North West. A special shoutout to his team, Sandy, Todd and Marcus as they all were truly part of navigating a couple of smooth transactions. Eyal H. and Daniel H. read more

We wanted to test the market for our condo in Hayes Valley during the pandemic before renting it out. Todd was extremely flexible and accommodating to make sure our family did not have to move out as we used virtual staging for the listing. He was very thoughtful about the process and made sure we were strategic about listing. Todd was always very knowledgeable about the market and honest with his opinions, even if it wasn't in his favor. I really respected that about him, because it meant that he wouldn't push us to sell just so he could get his commission and be done. We had some interest, but it wasn't enough to make us want to sell, so we decided to rent for a year. Todd was very patient and kept us posted throughout that time as to when he thought would be the right time to list again. As the market picked up again, we decided to put it back on the market in March. He and his team at Compass (Sandy, Rob, etc.) were amazing in making sure the condo was in flawless condition from paint, to carpets to replacing closet doors. We obviously still had to cover the costs of these repairs and updates, but they coordinated all of it. Once the unit was staged, we barely recognized it anymore. Although we were hoping for a higher price, demand for condos at this price point and the increasing interest rates were not in our favor, but we were perfectly happy with what we ended up selling it for. Todd was supportive and gave his frank opinion on the potential buyers and offers. He was at all of open houses and met every one of them, despite being one of the most in demand agents out there. So when he told us to accept an offer, we trusted him and did. Todd earned our trust throughout the process and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell their home. read more

Todd Montgomery - Compass - Real Estate Agents Near Me - San Francisco, California

See all

Todd was my buyer's agent in 2012 when I bought my SOMA condo and then my seller's agent in 2023 when we sold it. Both times, Todd and his team went above and beyond as advisers, guides, and thought partners. In 2012, when I was looking for my first condo, Todd oriented me within SOMA, escorted me from building to building, and shared all of the inside baseball. Even though the process took several months, Todd never seemed impatient or hurried, and he never applied any pressure. He seemed to enjoy and internalize the process as much as I did. Once we'd found a place, Todd worked diligently to both close the unit and get it ready for use. I had to close remotely due to travel, and he and his team handled the renovation thoughtfully and seamlessly. Once I owned, and later turned the unit into a rental property, Todd remained a dedicated agent, even fielding questions years later when there was little direct incentive. When we went to sell, Todd was instrumental in strategizing the listing. Todd made several critical suggestions, including strategic upgrades, timing/cadence, and listing price, that helped us navigate a difficult environment (SVB collapse! FRB collapse! Constant bad press - much of it unwarranted - about SF) to make a successful sale. The Compass infrastructure, with its digital media campaign, beautiful staging, and general professional approach, won the day. Huge props to Todd's teammate Sandy, who essentially GC'ed all the upgrades. And thanks also to Marcus, who did a deep dive on comps that really helped me crystallize my thinking around listing price. Today, I consider Todd a trusted business partner and friend. He's done right - more than right - by me and my family. I can't recommend him and his team enough. And as evidence of that, I've referred Todd to multiple friends who've ended up buying (and selling) with him as well. Work with Todd (+ team) if you have the chance! read more

I worked with Todd & Marcus to sell my apartment. Todd & Marcus were both extremely data-driven and yet, they clearly understood the qualitative aspects that made my apartment valuable and were able to communicate it effectively to prospective buyers. The result is that the sales price surpassed my original expectations. Todd and Marcus' team took the lead in coordinating repairs, remodeling, staging and communication with the Property Management company and HOA board throughout the sales process, which was particularly appreciated since I was abroad for a large portion of the process. Highly recommend working with them if you get the chance! read more

Todd and his team are super professional. They are great to work with and made a potentially confusing and stressful process, smooth and transparent. They had an awesome grasp on the market conditions and we are very pleased with the result of our sale. Thank you! read more

This was our third transaction with Todd - and he was phenomenal in helping us navigate the search in such a tough market. He was highly organized in his search and property search to our needs, never rushed us a bit, did complete due diligence when we found the property and took us through the entire closing process with efficiency. Our trust & confidence in his effort to watch for our needs & interest made a massive difference. He was also available to go out of the way to introduce us to lenders, inspection agents etc. to ensure everything went seamless. Thank you Todd! Highly recommend! read more

Todd and Rob are the best real estate agents I have ever worked with. Todd is extremely thorough, and consistently takes the time to explain the nuances of his recommendations and thought process. He also steered me toward the right decision on several occasions, even when it meant walking away from a deal, by presenting all relevant information (data and analysis) in a logical, neutral, and straightforward manner. Todd's comp analyses for sales price and potential rental income were also the most thorough I have been presented with by a realtor, which gave me confidence when making offers. Todd and Rob are also extremely generous with their time. They go above and beyond during showings and when answering questions. As an example, every time Rob showed me a property, he offered to spend extra time, so that I could get a better feel for the property, and then followed up by offering to tour it again. As another example, Todd was aways happy to get on the phone with me about potential purchases, even on weekends, and responded to my texts promptly. Throughout the process, I never felt like I was being pushed toward a purchase decision whatsoever; instead, I felt as though I was getting expert, data-driven guidance from who was actually on my side and had my best interest in mind. Finally, Todd and Rob have an extensive knowledge base and invaluable local network (of rental agents, contractors, bankers, etc.), and would be great for both first time buyers and buyers new to the San Francisco market. I cannot recommend Todd and his team enough. They are great!! read more

After interviewing several of the top-rated realtors in San Francisco, I chose to list my home with the Montgomery + Lee team and I could not be more happy. I no longer live in San Francisco and went through the whole sales process remotely, so I needed to find someone who could handle every detail of this listing. Todd and Marcus stepped in and exceeded my expectations on every level. First, using their trusted vendors, they oversaw a full, internal remodel of my property from start to finish. Even though I had final say on all aspects of the remodel, I consistently found myself following their design instincts every time because they know what buyers in the San Francisco market are looking for. The marketing for the property was strategic, targeted and generated a lot of interest. Once it hit the market, it received an offer significantly higher than my asking price in just 4 days. And with the help of their amazing support team, closing on the property was so easy - even with me being out of town the entire time. If I were selling another property in San Francisco, Montgomery + Lee would be the first call I would make. read more

Todd, Marcus and team are by far the best realtors in SF. In this crazy 2020 - they helped us find and buy a new single family home in the Richmond district that was competitive while being able to sell our Mission condo in the middle of the pandemic (July '20). In both situations we did better than we expected and I credit this team for that. At this point, I've worked with Todd since 2011 and have referred him to more than a dozen friends and colleagues. Everyone of them have consistently found success in buying or selling their homes and were happy with their experience. Through a combination of their extensive network and use of data to make informed decisions I wholeheartedly recommend this team for any real estate transaction. Thank you Todd, Marcus and Sandy! read more

Todd was amazing to work with, he was with my partner and I every step of the process and we're so happy with our new home. He was consistently on the ball and giving us honest feedback and insights to make sure the property was the right fit for us. I can't recommend him enough. read more

We first started working with Todd back in 2011 when we were looking to purchase our first home and he also helped us sell the property in 2019. Throughout the process, Todd has demonstrated great patience in helping us navigate the process of both finding a great home that we loved for years but also bringing it to market when we were ready to move on. While the process can be extremely overwhelming, Todd has tirelessly taken time to educate us sharing his vast knowledge about the SF real estate market, patiently trying to accommodate our unconventional ideas while always communicating in a timely manner through email, text or voice as necessary. Todd understands to build long-lasting relationships based on trust by focusing on making his customers truly happy without taking any shortcuts. He consistently went above and beyond the expected holding himself to a very high standard. From coordinating the exit of our tenants, to cleaning/painting/staging and even moving our furniture around, he always spent time to do what was right for us while we were living 3000 miles away. Todd is a dear and trusted friend of the family who happens to also be our real estate agent and anyone having the privilege to work with him should consider themselves very fortunate. read more

Todd was excellent from start to finish. We started our search by looking at many different cities and price points. Over the course of 8 months, Todd helped narrow our search and come up with a good framework for zeroing in on the right size home at the right price point and in a great location. Todd spent a lot of time talking us through how to make the best offer and we ended up closing on the first home we put an offer on. read more

Search no further for the best real estate team in San Francisco! I've worked with Todd, Marcus and their amazing group (Sandy, Brad) on 3 real estate transactions in San Francisco (2 purchases and 1 sale). In every case, the process has been seamless from beginning to end thanks to their deep knowledge of the market, smart strategy on offers, and ability to move quickly with their strong relationships across the industry. Most recently, I purchased a single family home in Eureka Valley, in the most competitive price segment. Todd and Marcus not only helped strategize on the best offer to get the home over several other strong offers, they helped ensure a tight 19 day close without any issue! read more

Todd and Marcus's reputation precede them, and I say it with full sincerity! After working with them for a year and a half and eventually buying our first home, I now know why they are so highly regarded in the industry and sought after by other buyers. At the end of the day, the two of them together bring the kind of market insights, dedication, credibility and relationships that ultimately make the difference and get it done. As first time buyers in SF, we saw how daunting the process could be, and how fast homes were moving. Sometimes what we need is the right window of opportunity- to see a coveted home, or the right strategy to stand out against many competitive offers. Todd and Marcus provided us with that extra bit of guidance that ended up going a long way. When it came to discussing offers, the two of them balanced the art and science to help us make sense of the market value, the personal qualities of the home, and the big picture. We felt so confident with them that we decided to go into contract even as the pandemic hit and uncertainties were high, knowing this was the right home for us. We are very happy to be SIP in our new home and we are so grateful to Todd who was 100% our partner and advisor. read more

We have had the absolute pleasure to work with Todd and his team on two occasions - first when buying our loft in 2013 and second time when buying our house in 2021. Not only did Todd provide us with his immense knowledge and true professionalism when making the offer and finishing the deal, but also afterwards. We couldn't have imagined how much he has helped and supported us along the way! Buying a home in SF is not a trivial task at all and it can get overwhelming, especially if you don't have a lot of experience in real estate. You have to be prepared to make big decisions in little time and that's when you better have someone trustworthy who knows the business, can handle all the details and is able to act fast. Todd's expertise enabled us to smoothly and successfully execute the transaction both times. From the very beginning Todd was always there when we needed him and tirelessly answered our questions in a very timely manner - he makes himself available to clients in a way that you can only admire. Todd made it so much easier to go through and actually understand the disclosure packages, contracts and everything else that is involved. His effectiveness and experience cannot be matched. On top of all that Todd is indeed an amazing person and fun to talk to. He genuinely respects the clients and offers his opinions and guidance subtly and is never pushy. Todd also has a vast network of skilled professionals in different fields so he can recommend someone for anything you might need. If you have a chance to work with him and his team, please do not hesitate. We have wholeheartedly enjoyed the process, thank you so much Todd! read more

Update : 9/25/22 We've worked with the Montgomery and Lee team on a number of property transactions in San Francisco over recent years and the consistency of their professionalism, expertise, integrity and confidence is second to none. Todd and Marcus have demonstrated in each instance that they place our interests above all else and seek to understand what our needs are. This thoughtfulness and integrity is coupled with a sharp understanding of the market and a decisive ability to get deals done. We first started working with the Montgomery and Lee Team in 2020 during a very tricky sale at the start of the pandemic. I was in the process of selling a loft in the Mission and within the first couple weeks of listing it, the pandemic forced the closure of San Francisco, and open houses were effectively shut down. After my property sat on the market for months without much activity, I hired the Montgomery and Lee team to take over my listing from another agent. Todd and Marcus came into the situation prepared to pivot to the new reality caused by the pandemic with a marketing strategy that leveraged technology and showcased the property virtually to a global audience. Any other team would have been intimidated by this sale, but Todd and Marcus conveyed confidence from the start and reassured me they could get it done. Within a couple weeks of taking over the listing, they were able to identify a unique buyer from their marketing efforts and we sold the property at a great price. More recently, in 2022, I enlisted Todd and Marcus in the purchase and sale of 2 single family homes in San Francisco. Again, this was an incredibly sophisticated transaction involving a 6 month rent back to the seller, something lesser experienced agents steered clear of given the tricky legal considerations and inherent risks in a transaction of that length. Todd instilled confidence from the beginning that we could make this transaction work, secure the home at a good price and work with the sellers to ensure a smooth transition 6 months later. Marcus handled the subsequent sale of our existing house and leveraged their connections to identify the perfect buyer before the first open house. Todd and Marcus's timing and advice were impeccable. Todd and Marcus are clearly well connected across the SF real estate community and particularly skilled at partnering with other agents to navigate complex deals and facilitate access to desirable properties. It is also clear they are both highly regarded amongst their peers. Todd and Marcus are an extremely talented team bringing a command of market dynamics, competitive intelligence, cutting edge marketing tools and sharp negotiating tactics to the table. What I appreciate most of all about Todd and Marcus is that they are good people who operate with utmost integrity and professionalism and represent my best interests in all transactions. I trust them implicitly and see them as a team I will use for the rest of our home buying adventures. 2020 Review Todd is, hands down, the best real estate agent I've worked with in San Francisco. He is professional, data driven, creative, ethical, business-minded and an incredibly skilled deal maker. I had a listing in the inner mission that went on the market with a different agent shortly before covid and the shelter-in-place restrictions. After having no offers for almost 60 days and now faced with a citywide shut down, prospects were looking grim. I hired Todd to change our selling strategy. Todd and Marcus came prepared with a detailed strategy on how to navigate the Covid-impacted real estate market - leveraging technology, virtual tours, better photos, a revamped marketing strategy and creativity to target the right buyers for our property. Within 2 weeks of changing agents, we had accepted an attractive offer and sold our property within the month which I'd say is nothing short of a miracle. Todd turned an extremely stressful situation for me into one where I felt confidence in Todd that he would manage every aspect of the deal and the relationship with the buyers in a way that had my best interests in mind and took the pressure away from me to manage the details. As a person who has bought and sold many properties in San Francisco over the last 2 decades, I would say that Todd is amongst the best of his profession and I will trust him with all my future deals. read more

Todd and his team are an amazing group to work with, even with difficult situations. We had a somewhat unique property sale of a very large, luxury condo in Noe Valley that had some challenges attached to it. Todd took care of every aspect of design, marketing, and finding the perfect buyers for the property. He and his team were detail-oriented and extremely responsive throughout the process. I think both us and the buyers are going to be happy with the final outcome which is the ideal outcome for all of us. Strongly recommend this team. read more

I evaluated four different realtors to sell my South Beach condo next to the ballpark before deciding upon Marcus and Todd based on their knowledge of the market and professionalism. Marcus's knowledge of my neighborhood and building in particular was greater by far than anyone else's I'd spoken with and was the deciding factor. Most of my interaction was with Marcus with occasional check-ins with Todd on big picture matters. They were the right measure of encouraging and forthright, providing detailed guidance w/the considerable paperwork and regular conversations along the way, all while being respectful of my time. At the end of the process, I came away with a far better result than anticipated - a great offer (one of several above ask), and a close in the midst of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Well done Marcus and Todd! read more

Todd and his partner Marcus were fantastic to work with. They are extremely knowledgable about San Francisco, and take a data-driven strategic approach to what can often feel like a random process. My husband and I had been actively looking for a single-family-home for almost a year by the time we started working with Marcus and Todd. Thanks to their expertise, hard work, proactiveness, and impeccable networking skills, they were able to help us land an amazing place in under two months. I could not ask for a better outcome and my only wish is we started working with them sooner! read more

We had an amazing experience working with Todd Montgomery and his team at Montgomery & Lee when looking to buy our first home on the Peninsula. We worked closely with the fabulous duo of Todd Montgomery & Rob Smith and they were able to help us find the home of our dreams in 7 months. After a few weekends together viewing homes they understood our visions and the aspects of the home that were important to us. As first time home buyers, we found comfort in knowing they were available at all times of the day - and no questions were too small to ask. Todd and Rob were always there to keep our spirits high and when it was time to put in an offer we knew they had our best interest in mind and we wholeheartedly appreciated their guidance. Todd & Rob are professional, kind, personable, communicative, available, and are truly with you every step of the way - even after they hand you the keys to your new home. They are the best in the business and we cannot recommend them strongly enough. read more

Professional. Results. When my wife and I decided to put our home of 12 years on the market we decided to invest our limited time and effort on choosing the right agent to represent us rather than worry about each little detail in the entire complex process of selling a home in the San Francisco market. From your first encounter meeting Todd and Marcus you will get a sense of reassuring confidence and professionalism that will continue through the entire process of selling (or buying) your home. They have a great team that really have their fingers on the pulse of the market and an approach to the process that is really everything a seller or prospective buyer could ask for. They painted a clear picture of the current market giving us all the information we needed to feel confident in our decision. We never felt like they were trying to steer us in one direction or another. Their recommendations on renovations (investments) to the property were efficient, well received and well worth it at closing. Their team of contractors did a great job with the task of updating the unit and even troubleshooting a problem with the heat we hadn't been able to fix ourselves for years! Sandy does a great job of coordinating pretty much anything that needs to be coordinated such as key pick ups, contractor visits or emergency "whatevers". Rodney takes care of getting all that needs to be signed signed with gentle reminders and just the right amount of hounding when needed (in our case plenty!). All that stuff is great but it doesn't mean anything if you're not happy with the results of the process. Obviously Todd and Marcus cannot guarantee you get exactly what you want. What they can do is give you an accurate honest assessment of the market, truthful, thought out answers to any and all questions you may have, suggestions and guidance on how to improve your property for sale, and the ability to make those changes. In the end we were blown away by the offers we received and closed less than 14 days after accepting. Expectations exceeded. read more

My wife and I worked with Todd and Marcus for our first home purchase. Todd came in as a strong referral from one of my friends. For some context, we initially were looking in SF and were working with Todd. We even made a few offers but none of them worked out. Due to some personal reasons, we decided to move a little south to San Mateo. Todd then connected me with his colleague Marcus to continue the process and we were finally able to find our dream home in San Mateo. First time home buying in Bay Area can be a very stressful process. We were glad that we had Todd and Marcus to support us in the whole process from finalizing what neighborhoods to look at to making an offer and final closing. Todd has a very deep understanding of the SF market -- we made a few offers in SF and Todd would tell us the "winning number" and invariably the actual sale price would be almost identical to Todd's estimate. Todd and Marcus were also very professional and diligent about everything. I'd definitely work with them again and refer them to all my friends! read more

Over five years ago we worked with Todd to purchase a condo in Mission Bay... it was a wonderful, easy experience... not to mention fast. We loved Todd's confidence and overall knowledge of the SF real estate market. And he definitely commanded respect... something that can be sorely lacking when dealing with other realtors. Fast forward to 2021, and we wanted to sell... the only person we called was Todd. Selling a condo in SF during a pandemic isn't easy... but Todd got it done! If we had gone with anyone else... we are convinced the result would have not been the same. He is super professional, and he has an A+ team working with him. We can't recommend Todd enough... matter-of-fact, we have recommended him and our friends feel the same way about him as we do. read more

Todd is an amazing agent and overall genuine individual. Throughout the home buying process he treated us with respect and patience. He never rushed the process and kept our interest in mind. Even if this meant helping us find other agents who were more knowledgeable in the East Bay -- but we came back to Todd because he was just that great. In addition, his interest in advising new home buyers is definitely present. Not only did he help two of our friends fund their homes, but he was available - literally - 24/7 from the moment we were searching to the very end when we got our keys. Moreover, Todd has an in depth and personal relationship with new construction and the real estate market in SF. He is as reputable as he is knowledgeable. I remember the first time we met Todd provided us with a packet of market trend in SF for the past few years. This showed us his investment into us and that he wanted his buyers to know what they were getting into. It's hard to say that Todd is JUST a real estate agent. He is a professional who conducts business with a personal touch and that us so much more when you are making a purchase to root your lives. I would recommend him to anyone. read more

Todd is the BEST Real Estate Agent in San Francisco. He helped me buy an investment property in SF. Todd and his team members are very professional and by far the best Real Estate company in SF! Todd's knowledge about the SF area is exceptional and his team provided me the best in class service throughout the entire buying process and even after the close of ESCROW. He helped me negotiate the best price and was always available to answer all my questions. He is very genuine and went out of his way to help close the deal for us. Todd's team also helped us with the Rental listing for our investment property and were able to put it on lease soon after the close of ESCROW. His team uses high tech tools and services that makes the entire process very seamless. I would highly recommend Todd to anyone buying or selling a property in San Francisco! Todd is awesome!!! read more

Todd and Marcus (and their whole team!) were amazing to work with! It seems like they work 24/7, answer to emails within hours at most, and were very transparent and kept me up to date on everything that is happening. I never hesitate to call or email them with my questions and they were always beyond helpful. Can't recommend them enough. read more

Having decided to use the agent I'd been working with for years for rental and sales deals, my original call to Todd at Climb in August 2017 was just a compulsory due diligence check for a loft sale in downtown San Francisco. His calm, confident, and compassionate manner immediately put me at ease regarding this problematic sale .... and before I'd hung up the phone, he used his knowledge of real estate tenant regulations specific to the area to save me $20k in payments I was making to the property tenants. Over the next four months, Todd and his team communicated with me regularly and solved several problems as they arose quickly and with a finesse that left me stress-free. The sale closed this week at $50k over the asking price. The "best", "top rate", "extremely knowledgeable", etcetera descriptors in all of his reviews are all true. read more

Todd is absolutely fantastic. After working with another real estate agent and being told "You will never buy a home" and with the crazy market, I was quite unsure if I ever would. I was putting in a lot of time and getting nowhere. I started working with Todd 4-5 months ago. I was immediately pleased with his professionalism and precision. He knew the market very well, had some great stories and great advice. Todd spent a good amount of time understanding my needs and crafting a strategy. He showed me some amazing places and gave great advice on the offers I made. We came very close a couple of times. As we worked together, I realized he was quite well known - other agents knew him and respected him. He eventually found me two fantastic units and then gave me some excellent tip on the offer to make. With his great advice, I was able to put together an offer that got me the place I truly wanted. Todd had excellent advice on comps, on pricing the offer (to perfection) and clearly knows the market extremely well. Todd works super hard - I recall a day he was sick and we had to discuss the terms - he called me while sick, could barely speak but still spent time on advising me. I was amazed by his dedication. Thanks to Todd I got a place in a very short time and a place that I absolutely am delighted to own. Here's two reasons why I strongly endorse Todd - he is super professional, super hard working, always prompt, knows the market better than agents out there (I know, I tried others) and the most important - he has a lot of information and knowledge that is invaluable. (Ok, that's 5 reasons, not 2 :) ). read more

Todd and his team were fantastic to work with. The scope of our search expanded from a 1+1 condo in SoMa to a 4+3.5 house in Glen Park over 18 months. Todd was right there every step of the way and helped us land the home of our dreams. He is well connected and a thoughtful advisor. Highly recommend him for anyone looking for a property in SF. read more

Searching for San Francisco real estate can be a daunting task, so having the best real estate agent to provide you with the right real estate services is crucial. It took me 15 months and plenty of frustration to find the place that I now call home. Buyers that are currently in the market can begin to understand this. Now that I have found my first owned home, I have no regrets. And more importantly, I am glad that Todd Montgomery from Climb Real Estate Group was the agent that helped me find my piece of San Francisco real estate. Todd demonstrated his veteran knowledge of the SF real estate market throughout our house hunt. He sent me weekly listings to check out. When his schedule allowed, he personally joins me to tour listings. Todd was very keen to ask for my feedback and read into my feelings about each listing and the overall hunt. As we went along, he would help me adjust my search criteria to prioritize the most important features of a home, as well as offer his experience and advice to help me think realistically of homes within my price range. Todd made himself available for my numerous texts, emails and calls with questions related to the purchase and homeowning process. In general, I left my interactions with him feeling better because he either answers my questions, or takes the next step to get me the answers. Todd also has extensive connections with sellers' agents, and would sometimes let me know about off-market listings that he thinks fit my search criteria. My final offer was the third one that I had submitted. For each offer, Todd would take time out of his evening to review all the docs with me in person. As a first time homebuyer, I really appreciated his extreme patience and knowledge. Never once did I feel that I was being pressured into a hurried decision. 15 months is a long time to be looking! I experienced a particularly tumultuous closing process because of actions on the lender side that led to delays in both closing and my moving plans. Todd stepped in and did his best to quarterback the situation, handling discussions with the lenders and developers. While the situation itself still left me extremely frustrated at the time, Todd's involvement helped to alleviate much stress. So if you are serious about finding a home in San Francisco, I highly recommend that you talk to Todd. It will be a decision you will not regret. read more

If you're like me, you are a first time home buyer. You're willing to research and learn as much as possible about buying a place in San Francisco. Now the question is who can you trust to represent your best interest and close the deal within your budget? Todd Montgomery was referred to me by another agent that I found on Yelp. I only had $650K to spend and I was looking for a loft or apartment with parking in the SOMA district. I interviewed several agents, but none had the follow-up and work ethic that Todd demonstrated to me. I was persistent on my requirements and had a lot of questions. It took me 11 months and few declined offers to accept the rapid changes in the San Francisco real estate market. Todd was patient with me and consistent advocate and partner. I was somewhat suspicious of Todd in the beginning of this process as I've worked in sales before. But now that I've purchased the place I wanted (and within my budget!). I can attest to the fact that Todd is a great agent and negotiator. read more

Todd Montgomery is real estate agent extraordinaire! He marketed and sold our SOMA condo, setting a price record for our type of unit in the building. I met Todd through friends and immediately liked him - he's very professional and extremely thorough when it comes to making the deal work. He's ALWAYS there for his clients - he works really hard and is on the phone and on his computer working nights and weekends. It's unbelievable. I have some prior experience dealing with real estate agents and his responsiveness is unmatched in the industry. Todd was very thoughtful in counseling me and my husband on what we needed to change in the unit prior to putting it on the market. Through Climb we also had our unit professionally staged, which was worth every penny. Our photos on the website turned out so gorgeous that I almost changed my mind about selling the unit - reading it made me want to buy it. Todd manned the open houses and gave us periodic status update as to traffic and general sentiment. Finally, he was very thorough and professional in vetting all the offers we got and counseling us how to manage the various bids. The result was that we sold the unit for a record price in our building and we closed without any issues. I am recommending Todd to all my friends looking to buy or sell real estate in San Francisco. read more
