Abigail helped us buy our first home, and in the crazy Bay Area real estate market, we were so happy to have her on our side! We appreciated her patience to answer all our questions without judgement, her availability and flexibility (via email, text, phone, in person...), her energy and positive but practical attitude. She is organized, professional and has great follow-through. It seems that most real estate agents these days will help you tour homes and put offers in, but not to find those homes to begin with; they set you up with MLS-associated sites, and it's up to you to find the homes of interest to tour. This was how it was with Abigail for the most part, but once we found homes of interest, she was incredibly responsive and spent hours with us touring homes in neighborhoods all over SF (and even farther afield). Friends recommended her to us after she helped them with their first home purchase, and we've recommended her to our friends (and now recommending her to yelpers!). read more

I am in the process of relocating to SF and needed to find a rental and sign an agreement within 3 days. Abigail helped me accomplish that and more. She found me the most perfect apartment (and a fantastic deal) basically in one day! Abigail stayed with me throughout the entire process start to finish, and I am very grateful for all her help. Abigail is nothing short of EXCELLENT. You can not go wrong if you choose her as your realtor. She is professional, patient, accessible, considerate...the list goes on and on. She took the time to help me navigate the surrounding neighborhoods, made suggestions for a new bank, gave me helpful public transportation tips, and pointed out various points of interest. When it comes time to purchase a home in SF Abigail will most definitely be hearing from me. Bottom line: choose Abigail, you will be so happy you did! read more

Abigail Picache - Vanguard Properties - Amazing view from my tour of the neighborhood! - Real Estate Agents Near Me - San Francisco, California

Abigail helped us buy our very first home earlier this year. Having known Abigail for quite some time, I knew there was no one I would trust more to help us navigate this amazing life step. She is incredibly patient, trustworthy and thorough, which are all things that matter a great deal when purchasing a home. Having her expertise and attention to detail made the process so easy, especially when we'd heard some stories from friends of all the things that can go wrong--but everything went off without a hitch, which is 100% due to her professionalism. We cannot thank her enough for her care and knowledge and will absolutely always use her again in future! Thank you!!! read more

My son and I recently bought a house through Abigail. I did not know her before, I found her online. She was patient and kind through a process of me changing my mind every few weeks about what I was looking for. She is a thorough professional, knows the ins and outs of San Francisco real estate and is willing to sit down and explain all the gory details. She also seems to be on call 24/7 - she either answered the phone immediately or called back within 1/2 and hour - even in the evenings! She also stayed with us after the title was done and helped with finding all the professionals we needed to do what we wanted with the place. I can not recommend Abigail highly enough! When we decide to sell, she will be our agent. BTW, she also found my rental for me while I was looking read more

Abigail is a rockstar. My wife and I had been house hunting in San Francisco for more than 9 months and made several offers with another agent. We finally switched to Abigail on a referral from a family friend and it was one of the best decisions we've ever made. *Six days* after meeting her for the first time, we had an offer accepted on a place better than any of those we'd lost. She found out that we could get it for less than we thought, handled the contingency negotiations beautifully, and we closed less than a month after we first met. If you are looking for a home in San Francisco, you can't do better than Abigail. Period. read more

Abigail is awesome. She help us buy our first house and she helped us sell our first house. She knows the market extremely well. Thanks to her, we bought our house at a great price and we sold it at a great price as well. She's great to work with, easy to get in touch with, easy to talk too and she a top-notch negotiator. She knows everybody in the industry and she has good relationships with everyone. Working with her either sides of the transaction has been the best thing ever. You can't lose with Abigail! read more

Since my initial purchase in 2012 with Abigail, I've now worked with her for another purchase and a sale. I simply can not say enough about her professionalism and steady hand during a few stressful times. We had a difficult seller on one transaction...and Abigail was our rock. Her advice and approach was invaluable and we ended up in a great place in the end - despite many hours on the phone at all times day/night! Even 6 months after our purchase, Abigail has continued to be a resource (and answer our calls!!). She has been a fantastic resource and will be our go to agent! read more

Abigail has been our one-stop realtor shop for the past 5 years. She helped to sell my place and buy our first place 5 years ago - both offers came in and accepted on the same day! She can definitely handle the work. She helped me get a great offer on what I was selling, and helped to drive down the price on our new home. She kept in touch with us the past 5 years, and was very responsive with our "how is the market going in the nieghborhood" questions so we could stay abreast of trends. The time came for us to move on to greener pastures (i.e., the 'burbs), and Abigail again fetched top dollar for our place - we had a solid offer in less than 2 weeks and everything with the close went VERY smoothly. Couldn't have imagined it going any better. Thank you to Abigail for everything the past 5 years! read more

Abigail Picache came recommended to me with high regards through a friend who had purchased two homes in San Francisco with Abigail's help. I was a first-time buyer, and wanted to purchase a Tenancy In Common. Abigail was very knowledgeable, and patiently walked me through the entire process. Abigail was available to meet on my schedule, always did her research, and fought for the best price possible. I would recommend her to all my friends, and would be proud to have her in my corner again! read more

Abigail has amazing selling and perseverance skills. Her attention to detail and organizational aptitude are superb. She sold out condo in record time, at better price that we could imagine, and with minimal stress. read more

I've known Abigail since before I moved to SF over 4 years ago when she took me hunting for a rental before I relocated from the east coast. I didn't end up renting any of the units she showed me, but she impressed me so much and was so gracious that I've just actually bought my second SF home with her help! Abigail is extremely knowledgeable about the SF market! She is very responsive and will help make sure everything is taken care of correctly and on time throughout the home buying process. I've gotten 2 great values in this crazy market, not sure if luck or Abigail. I can tell you my second purchase required a lot of patience and determination due to some difficulties with the seller's situation and agent, but Abigail really went the extra mile. I would highly recommend her services to anyone in the market for a home in SF. read more

yelp Review for Abigail Picache It is without hesitation and with extreme gratitude that I recommend Abigail Picache, Vanguard PropertiesSF broker realtor, for the sale of your home. From our first meeting, Abigail was welcoming, well prepared and excited about partnering with me to sale my condo in Upper Market. She also bought in her awesome Vanguard associates, Mahesh Patki and Brian Brown, who had previously handled the lease of my condo, to handled the relocation of the tenant. Subsequent to our initial meetings, Abigail provided a detailed project plan and calendar to guide me through the renovations, staging, financing and closing of the sale. As I reflect on the twists and turns of the sale, Abigail listened intently to my overall needs and crafted a holistic approach to assess the condition of my condo, presented a vision that would attract offers above asking price and delivered on her project plan within our targeted time frame. She always returned my calls, was available after work and held my hand when needed. The good news is that the condo sold in 11 days of listing and for $152,000 over list price. If you have any questions or need further information, I would be happy to communicate with you regarding my experience. Take care, Sherri read more

Abigale is a true professional. We were in contract in 13 days with an above ask offer and several other interested parties in the wings. Teamed with Frank Nolan, both helped us get the results we desired. Abigail is there for the details, provides constructive feedback, and is supportive throughout the process. We highly recommend Abigail for your real estate transaction! read more

Abigail gets it done - and fast! She is the most competent real estate agent I've ever worked with. She helped me and some friends find an apartment (to rent) after we had been searching on our own for months. From first contacting her to signing the lease, it took three days. THREE DAYS. That's ridiculously fast, and she found us the apartment of our dreams, for exactly our price range, in an amazing area. I can't recommend her enough. If you need a rental agent, contact her. Right now. read more

Abigail recently helped with finding me a rental in SF. I relocated to the area from Orange County (for my job) and had a very limited time to find a place. She was able to schedule about 7 showings in 3 days - all within a specific budget/area. And she was responsive and patient with all of my many questions! :) That same weekend, I made my selection and was able to spend my holidays worry-free. I highly recommend Abigail! read more

Abigail was extremely helpful. She found properties to view that we would not have otherwise known about and knew a great deal about the process. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a house in SF. read more

Abigail is an AMAZING realtor and I would highly recommend her to anyone. She is organized, diligent, personable, and takes the time with each and every one of her clients. We have been working with her for over 5 years now and finally bought our dream condo in San Francisco. Over the years our needs changed (and we had 3 children) and she quickly adapted to help our make our process smoother. When you call/email/text Abigial, her response time is unparalleled. She is a smart negotiator and is someone you definitely want in your corner. She is very knowledgeable about San Francisco and real estate and the analytics and reports she provides are also helpful to keep her customers informed. Buying real estate, especially in San Francisco, is more than just a financial decision, and Abigail was patient to work with us and find exactly what we were looking for. You can't go wrong with Abigail! read more

I met with several realtors when I started thinking about both selling and purchasing a home in SF. My deciding factor was that I wanted to work with the best in such a competitive market -- in terms of who i felt most comfortable with and listened to my desires and constraints, was a patient partner throughout the process, and had the strongest reputation in the industry and deep knowledge of the current real estate market. This led me to choose Abigail to represent me. She was incredibly accessible, responsive, and dedicated every step of the way. Also, she was a fantastic resource for referring lenders, contractors, property managers, and attorneys. She demonstrated her industry expertise through her strategy to put together a compelling offer package that ultimately beat a higher bid. Abigail's excellent relationship management, negotiation, and people skills were crucial in such a complex escrow process. Her reputation amongst her peers and associates is highly regarded -- whenever I mentioned that I was working with Abigail, people in the industry would say that she is the best and I was in excellent hands. On top of it all, Abigail became a personal friend and is truly a person of integrity. read more

Abigail came highly recommended by a friend who she represented. She has since helped my friend's daughter buy a home and they've been very impressed with her too. Abigail's sparkly personality puts you at ease and gives you confidence that she can handle any situation. She really "knows her stuff" real estate-wise and seems very comfortable with every aspect of the process. She's a very gentle person but based on my experience with her has no fear in standing up for her client (me) in a potentially adversarial situation. I found Abigail to be very protective of me and able to negotiate without alienating anyone else. She's a very hard worker, very meticulous with the paperwork and process and instills confidence every step of the way. read more

Abigail helped my husband and I purchase our home in the heart of San Francisco. We were new San Francisco and overwhelmed by the crazy market here. Abigail took the time to educate us on the local market and gave us great advice on how to make an attractive offer. It wasn't just the price, but all of the details surrounding the offer. Because of her guidance, our offer was accepted on the first home we bid on even when 3 other people came in with the same price. We can't thank her enough! read more

Abigail came highly recommended to my husband and I by a family relative who had nothing but glowing words for her. After working with her on two real estate transactions over the past year, we can not imagine having anyone else represent us as our real estate agent, buy or sell. We had been living in San Francisco for 5 years when we started thinking about purchasing a home. We thought we knew the neighborhoods, but Abigail added perspectives and insights that were invaluable and showed us San Francisco like we haven't seen before. We eventually narrowed down to a neighborhood that met all our needs and in the process were educated on the tricky subject of TICs. Abigail gave us plenty of information and we were assured that we were on the right track. On that first home purchase, Abigail got us the deal below asking price but unseen family situations forced us to back out of the contract. This was when our trust for Abigail increased ten-fold, as we saw her true professionalism, integrity and attentive care to her clients shine despite the loss of sale. We kept in touch with Abigail after that because we had not given up on the dream of owning our home in San Francisco. A year later, when we were ready to put down an offer on a TIC (in the same neighborhood we were considering before), we were thrilled to be working with Abigail again. This time around, we were astounded when we found that we won the bidding war against another potential buyer, even though we were outbid every single time. We quickly found out that the reason was the seller's agent's trust in Abigail's reputation and experience as a top-notch no-nonsense SF real estate agent over others. Her promptness in acting was also key to the successful outcome of that sale. We were extremely lucky to have Abigail on our side as our real estate agent and highly recommend her to anyone who's looking to buy or sell in the Bay Area. read more

When my partner and I decided that it was time to buy a home, Abigail was with us every step of the way. She kept sending us listings to look at. Then she accompanied us to viewings and open houses. And when we were ready to make a bid, she was there, too, dispensing invaluable advice. Whatever questions we had, she either had the answer or pointed us in the direction of someone who did. I almost never write customer reviews, but Abigail Picache's work for us was so exemplary that I felt that I had to share! read more

After looking for homes in San Francisco for a few years, and not wanting to committ to an agent just yet, I knew I found the right fit with Abigail. She is extremely knowledgeable about the market, attentive to the needs of her clients and a pleasant person to experiene the house hunt with. I'm happy to say that after Abigail patiently worked with me for over two years, we found the right home to purchase. She made every aspect of the process run smoothly and her contacts in the industry were very helpful. I would without a doubt work with Abigail again and have already personally recommended her my friends read more

My company was looking for properties to invest in San Francisco. We were very fortunate to be helped by Abigail. She is really outstanding in both knowledge and skill as well as highly professional. Her recommendations were clearly made based on careful research and our requirement. Personally, she is very patient and considerate! We have met many agents in numerous places and she is clearly among the very top one! read more

We just bought our first home in San Francisco with Abigail's help. As first-time buyers, we were no easy clients and needed lots of help and patience. But fear not: Abigail quickly figured us out and in a difficult market secured us a house within just weeks. Thanks to Abigail (plus her extended network of excellent contacts from lender to home inspector to contractor...) we learned a lot in the process. Most importantly: she is honest. Even though it's probably part of any agent's job to nudge and coerce a client ever so gently in the "right" direction so as to accomplish things, we never felt unduly pressured. The process was very efficient, and, entirely thanks to Abigail, fun. read more
