My wife and I were referred to Stacy and Vince by a realtor that worked with my mother since we…read morewere first time homebuyers looking in Marin county, and I must say how incredibly fortunate we were to work with them throughout the whole buying process. As anyone can imagine as first time homebuyers, we were very overwhelmed and had a lot to learn. But what made it so much smoother and reassuring was having Stacy and Vince there to guide us. They were all about making sure they were looking for the things we wanted but also setting realistic expectations. We never felt any pressure to go in a certain direction when looking for houses. They always made sure to inform us of everything from looking at a specific house to the gritty details of mortgage loans. They were very approachable and also took extra time and effort to check in on us. It honestly felt like we were their only clients. Stacy and Vince are an amazing team, and you can really tell that they care both about their clients and their practice. I highly recommend anyone who is looking in the Marin area to reach out to them. We are extremely grateful we did as they really are Marin's Finest.

I cannot recommend the Lovewell team more highly. I found them online by searching reviews of…read moreagents experienced with estate situations and received a response almost immediately. I met with Margaret and Katie and instantly could tell they were a perfect fit for me and my situation. My mother had just passed and they were sensitive, caring and helped break the process down into easy, manageable steps while I was grieving and determining next steps for my mother's house. In the end, they represented me as the seller and they helped me through several unexpected challenges. They took care of everything so I could focus on grieving. This included lining up and meeting haulers, contractors and inspections, and the myriad other things associated with selling a house. My primary contact was Margaret, who was my guiding light in the process. She quickly understood my need to be informed about all the details of selling a property, and was so patient with explaining everything step-by-step. She kept me sane during a very difficult period of my life. From the beginning all the way to the end with a successful sale, I trusted Margaret and the Lovewell team 100% to represent my best interests. I could not have asked for a better fit. I just think they are the BEST. I would be happy to discuss my experience further with anyone considering working with them.

Louise and Katie were our wonderful listing agents for our home of 27 years in San Leandro. They…read moregave us great advice and moral support to get ready to sell. They connected us with excellent contractors for both big and small projects, from the roof and interior paint, refinished floors, updated landscaping to clean windows and minor repairs. They helped our well loved home shine in a tough market, and they worked hard find us the right buyer. It took a little longer than we had hoped, but they kept at it and kept our spirits up. We sold for over our original asking price and had smooth sailing throughout the closing process. Louise and Kate are kind, thoughtful and great to work with, and they deliver! I recommend them highly.

Long story medium short. My TIC building partner in an SF duplex needed to sell. I have no idea how…read moreshe found Ren Grandahl, although I heard he was recommended by the owner's friend on the East Coast where she had relocated. That's how to pick an agent? Owner listed the place at $930K, way out of line. Mr. Grendahl should have shown her comps and counseled her. Perhaps he did, but overpriced property rarely sells; it hurts. Two or three price reductions later, two offers were made that apparently the owner turned down. These reductions also reduced the perceived value of my portion of the building. Ren should have involved me, my attorney says, but no. This all took Ren a YEAR to accomplish virtually nothing. A YEAR of sporadic open houses. A YEAR of occasionally not showing up for advertised open houses, or not advertising open houses at all. Their web site was regularly out of date. Near the end of that year, I had called the stager to offer to rent the staged furnishings myself so her place would look good. The stager agreed, and I sent him a check, but Ren poked his nose into it and claimed that was illegal (how exactly?), and advised the stager to clear his nice stuff out. I believed him too, but my real-estate attorney said that's not so. Gee, thanks Ren, it cost me $3500 to RE-stage the place because of your bull-headed attitude when I could have made things easier for all concerned. Where's that at? Just destructive. The owner was broke, underemployed, under water, and wasn't paying her mortgage or insurance, and couldn't afford the 5% commission. She would have killed me with a thousand cuts and I'd lose all. After some stressful legal maneuvering, Ren convinced the owner to grant her place to me via a Grant Deed and my foregiveness of all her debt -- BUT he wanted half of the sales commission in exchange! For what? A YEAR of total failure? Y'all, that's almost $11K, when MY brokers advertised and showed the place and MY brokers sold it almost immediately. (See my reviews of Jesse Fowler and Pete Brannigan, coming soon, who had to eat half the sales commission. Now THAT'S service!) This episode was a wasteful and costly total DISASTER! (Except Ren got to line his big pockets.) And don't be in the same room when Ren flips to angry mode. The above is all true. Negative stars are in order for negative results.

I was looking for a place at the St. Regis and Rob was great in helping me with a rental I wanted…read morein the building... he was always very responsive to my emails and phone calls... and was very, very patient acting as a mediator between the owner of the unit and me... Unfortunately, the owner turned out to be crazy and very vexatious....and she pulled out of the lease four days before I was supposed to move! (you know... since its a great housing market and all, it makes sense to change your mind at the last second and sell your place after trying to rent your place for 8 months...ehh) Needless to say, my frustration was immense... and Rob sent me a bottle of champagne as a token of good will, even though it wasn't his fault... and he also quickly reimbursed me for my deposit....very nice guy

I couldn't have asked for a better realtor…read more I was in the unfortunate position of both a divorce and the need to list a property for short sale. I came to Mike with an absolute mess, and he was able to expertly work through the weeds between two separate lenders, all while also working with my ex's realtor. He was in constant communication with the banks, coordinating a complex short sale when the original loan was non-traditional. We were able to sell the property and Mike is the only reason behind that. He is by far the most dedicated realtor I've ever had. I cannot recommend him enough, especially if you have a challenging scenario along with the sale of your home. Thank you so much, Mike

I rented from Pete and the team for about a year. They bought out my previous property manager on…read moreFulton St. Initially, I did not have the best impression but they ended up coming through and meeting my expectations. My payment bounced the month I tried this rent credit card Bilt, because my credit limit was too low. I had paid rent on time for 1 year prior to this. The attitude was a bit rude/cagey around being late even though it was only like 2-3 days late. They tried to charge me like $75 in late fees, but I was able to talk to them and get it down to like $25. Other than that one suboptimal experience, they have been wonderful. Pete Medina is a delight and shows up for me punctually for even small issues. There was a beeping hot tub from a neighbor that would randomly turn on sometimes and stay on 24/7 next to my window and drive me insane. He'd show up within hours once it started beeping to ask them to turn it off. On multiple occasions. Great guy to talk to, and generally a family-owned amicable property management company. So not the most professional setup, but they took care of things for me. This review is not fake or being bought. Just wanted to add my POV after seeing some negative comments, that it's not all that bad. For the most part, if you play nice they play nice, as is most things in life.

Reyna is very quick to get to know your needs and she was able to filter properties we would be interested and send us the disclosures on the properties very quickly so we would be knowledgeable about the properties we were touring. Reyna is most definitely the realtor you want to contact! Other than being extremely knowledgeable and quick, she is very supportive and will answer all your questions promptly and kindly. She's also amazing having been able to get our offers accepted multiple times, and guide us during this whole process. She made our home purchasing journey very swift and stress free. I will always recommend her to anyone and EVERYONE I know. With Reyna you are sure to get the best customer service.
