Very attentive and knowledgeable. We used Deborah to both buy and sell our house. Excellent realtor.

Deborah's expertise in navigating the San Francisco housing market is undeniable. She guided me through the entire process efficiently, without rushing decisions. Her insights helped address aspects I hadn't considered. Reliable, knowledgeable, and attentive. read more

Deborah is the top of tops we've worked with - in the entire real estate profession, but also in one of the most complicated markets. She's the most fair, honest, clear and focused person and balances that with a ton of consideration and thought towards your own personal life, career, needs and dreams to really help you find the best path through a milestone in your life. She also has so much experience that there's never a surprise with her, and through both purchasing and selling homes with her over the past 5 years, we definitely threw some curveballs. But every single time, and without hesitation, she knew (in detail) what to do. We could not speak more highly of Deborah, or recommend her enough!! read more

If you're reading this you're at least considering working with Deborah. Clearly you're wondering what all the 5 stars are about. I'm here to let you know: You will not, ever, find a better real estate agent than Deborah. She is absolutely best in class and embodies everything you need on your side in what is arguably one of the more significant milestones in life. Here's why: Deborah's market knowledge is impeccable. Her strategy on timing, pricing, presentation in conjunction with fulfilling our own needs is a winning combination. Through our time working together, what set her apart was her transparency, insight, attention to detail, diligence, follow-through and general advocacy through the whole process, truly remarkable. Our scenario: My senior parents wanted to relocate. After 50 years in SF their home needed a "little" freshening up (aka overhaul). With Deborah's trusted network we transformed what already was a SF classic into a show stopper! I could hardly believe my eyes at the reveal and the listing pictures. Under my breath I could be heard saying I wish "I" could have kept the place! I digress. Heeding all Deborah's advice, we were able to get my parents a price well over asking, securing their future and livelihoods. Through it all, she remained reassuring, patient, kind and wise. This was not easy. My mother, that cried thought the first walk through, was so enamored with her that she just wanted hug her to thank her for everything she'd done. Not to mention inviting her to family dinner and new housewarming party. I could go on but honestly, if I keep you any longer its more time you have without her. Your time time would be better spent reaching out to Deborah. You will not regret it. read more

We worked with Deborah to buy our new family home in San Francisco. Deborah is the best agent we've ever worked with. She's always on call to help answer any questions, she'll be honest with you, and she'll get everything done on time to ensure you get the property you're looking for. If it wasn't for Deborah's advice I wouldn't be here sitting in my new family dream home writing this review. You always know that Deborah has your back when you work with her. Once you hire her, she treats you like family. I can guarantee we'll be working with Deborah whenever we decide to buy or sell again and we'll be recommending her to all of our friends. read more

We had the pleasure of working with Deborah during our home search, which began amongst the pandemic as we started to explore neighborhoods and learn more about the city. Deborah was incredibly astute, helpful, and intuitive while exploring our needs and matching them to the most suitable micro-neighborhoods. As a first-time homebuyer, it was invaluable to have Deborah's extensive experience in prioritizing the many facets of a home in a structured way. As we became increasingly ready to purchase a home, Deborah gave us a highly accurate and robust view of the San Francisco real estate market. Her ability to understand value, market conditions, and communicate in a clear and decisive way took a great deal of stress out of the home buying process. We constantly felt like we were the top priority and that we had a highly dedicated partner in Deborah. When it came to the negotiations, we feel that Deborah's extensive knowledge, dedication, and network positioned us to achieve everything we wanted in a home and it surprisingly fit within our budget. Working with Deborah greatly exceeded our expectations and some months later, reflecting back, working with her was the best decision we made in the home search process. We couldn't have been happier with both the process and the outcome. We can most highly recommend Deborah and cannot praise her abilities as a real estate agent highly enough! read more

Five starts are not enough!! I have purchased many homes and worked with some excellent real estate agents and none of them offered the level of service, knowledge and partnership Deborah provided. Every step of the way in this stressful process, Deborah went above and beyond what I would have expected - and I expect a lot! I was an out of town buyer with limited knowledge of SF and a very small window of time to purchase in an area with very limited inventory. Deborah identified appropriate properties, picked me up at the airport (twice) and drove me around to see them. Once we found a place we wanted, she did an amazing job of guiding us through the offer process and worked beautifully with our lender through escrow. Amazingly, we were able to close within a month of our first phone conversation-that's how efficient and on it Deborah was. We needed to upgrade the electrical and replace the HVAC system in the property we were buying. Deborah on her own initiative researched multiple vendors and obtained quotes from them and offered to help oversee the work since we're not in town. When you're working with Deborah she becomes a true partner. And significantly, working with Deborah is truly a delight. She is a very comfortable to be with-she is warm, fun, interesting, incredibly thoughtful and generous. I have told countless people how lucky I am to have had her as my agent. I don't know why anyone would work with anyone else. read more

I highly recommend Deborah to anyone that is looking for a place in San Francisco! Deborah was referred to me and my fiancé from by brother and it couldn't have worked out better! She was responsive, prompt, honest with her opinions / answer to our questions (and would back them up with examples), and genuinely wanted to help us find the right place for us. We started seriously looking for a place in August 2021. After speaking with us on the phone and getting to know more about us, what we were looking for and in what price range we scheduled a follow up where she took us to several open houses so we could get feel for what was out there. Throughout the entire process she wasn't pushy, she let us move at our own pace and she took to the time to answer all of our questions and walk us through each step, which for first time buyers was very important. She was also extremely knowledgeable and used her years of experience to point out things out to us that we would not have known to ask or consider. Once we did find a place she helped us move quickly to get everything in order. Even though it was a stressful couple of days she was there to answer questions and keep us on track. She stayed with us through the entire process from when the offer was ultimately accepted to when we closed on the place and picked up on keys! We could not have asked for a better experience! read more

We worked with Deborah to sell our TIC in SF through the challenging summer/fall '22 market. Deborah was a pleasure to work with throughout and we will definitely work with her again. She has a great sense of where the market is for various categories of homes in each major SF neighborhood. She helped us set expectations and price appropriately. She had a checklist / timeline that we followed and everything happened right on schedule. She was able to refer a number of great contractors to get the prep and staging done and was extremely helpful in coordinating them. Showings went very well and generated some good leads. Ultimately we went into contract and had a smooth closing. Throughout Deborah was reachable day or night any time. Deborah clearly loves what she does and is a joy to work with - highly recommended! read more

If you want a realtor who will be your best advocate, Deborah is the agent for you. My husband and I bought a new single family home and sold our old condo with Deborah. This was the second time buying a home in San Francisco and working with Deborah for the second time. She is a terrific realtor and after working with her again, it is obvious that she possesses a depth of experience and knowledge of the SF market. All this happened during COVID, which added a layer of complexity to the whole process. When we first started the home buying process, Deborah listened to our home wants and needs and asked the right questions to help us find our dream home. We saw about 15 homes with Deborah before finding the right one. Touring with her was always fun (and she's on time!) and she pointed so many things out about each home. What I admire most from Deborah is her honesty. She won't lie to you and also sets realistic expectations during both the home buying and selling processes. Also, she is extremely well connected, which really helps when putting in an offer. She was also adept and skillful in the negotiation process during the sale of our condo. Deborah is also very busy with lots of other clients but we never felt ignored. She would always answer any email or text quickly, as if we were her only client. We really love our new home, and it was made possible with Deborah's help. read more

Deborah is fantastic! She helped me sell a property in Potrero Hill that had several complex factors that she navigated gracefully and with persistence. She knows how to prepare and show a house, has a great network that she can leverage, and can get deals closed, even during the COVID 19 pandemic. Thank you! read more

We loved working with Deborah. She is very knowledgeable and has great insight into a tricky and competitive market. She is very responsive and listened to our wants and needs. She helped us find the right place for us and got the deal closed! read more

We were first time home buyers looking to buy for the first time in the San Francisco condo market. Given our lack of experience, we were looking for an agent that would help guide us through this competitive market during COVID. We're super glad that we made the perfect choice with Deborah. We were blown away with how incredibly knowledgeable, competent, and responsive Deborah was. No matter when we had a question, Deborah responded within minutes and was able to fit in time to have quick phone calls with us to not only answer our questions, but also explain the details of whatever we were asking. She definitely also had patience for my never ending list of questions, which was really appreciated, even though we're sure she was really busy all the time. Deborah helped handle so much of the process for us, besides just finding us listings and taking us to showings, she also met with us in depth to explain the paperwork we needed to sign, recommended inspections for us to do, helped us understand what future repair work would be needed, explained to us the details of home insurance, and much more. She really demonstrated her experience time after time, as she understood the details of many nuances of San Francisco's markets, buildings, codes, etc, that wouldn't be immediately apparent through self-research. Deborah also never made us feel like she would drop the ball, as she was always available and would quickly update us with new information as soon as it became available, which is extremely important in the fast-moving, real-time SF real estate market. She not only made sure she always did her end of the job correctly, but she also made sure to keep our lender, title company, inspectors, insurance agent, etc on schedule as well to make sure the whole closing process and deal went smoothly (which it did in the end). Lastly, despite Deborah being very serious and to-the-point with her work, she always felt very warm and kind to us and we never felt hesitant to chat with her. I honestly wish everyone I worked with was as on top of things as Deborah was! You would definitely not be making a mistake choosing her as your agent to buy in San Francisco. read more

If you're looking for an incredibly attentive, insightful, connected, and honest agent for the SF Bay area, Deborah is the only person I would stake my life on. I've had the privilege to work with Deborah since I first started thinking about real estate in 2014. Though my own enthusiasm for real estate ebbed and flowed over the years, she stuck with me patiently. She's helped me navigate this stressful market with a reassurance and optimism that resulted in my first home purchase earlier this month. Having over two decades of experience in SF, Deborah is very well connected and respected by other agents. Often she can get insider knowledge on properties, a competitive edge in such a difficult city. She's also helped me calibrate my expectations and made sure we did everything we could to make compelling offers. Her dedication to her work and her clients went above and beyond my expectations. She not only answered my panicked text messages at 11pm, she also knew I do not have a car-- so she would drive me to open houses almost every weekend. I could not be more impressed by her diligence and patience. For as long as I continue to invest in real estate in SF, I will always work with Deborah. read more

If you want to find a property in San Francisco, you should go with Deborah Nguyen as your relator! Period. Deborah is the hardest working person I have ever met, has decades of experience and deep knowledge of the SF real estate market, and is extremely well connected (everyone knows Deborah!). The combination of these three things make her a stellar real estate agent. Deborah was recommended to me and my husband by four of our friends who all found their homes with her help. She's honest, straightforward and doesn't waste your time. At the same time, she focusses on understanding what you're looking for in a home and patiently guides you through her knowledge and deep insights about the SF market. She never pressures you into buying something that isn't just right, but also pushes you to be competitive on the right properties and win! She works around the clock to make sure you understand and are comfortable with choices you are making. She is a native San Franciscan and has been doing this for over 25 years and knows the all the SF neighborhoods and streets in and out. For example, she'll go on an open house tour with you and never once use the GPS! She will give you opinions about safety, weather, lot sizes, resale, schools, walkability, potential of homes, nearly anything block by block in a neighborhood. And she also has relationships with contractors, architects, and lenders. I want to reiterate on Deborah's work ethic - when I say she's a hard worker and works around the clock, I truly mean it. She never takes more than half an hour to respond to email or text EVEN if she's on vacation. For example, we happened to close on our house while she was on personal travel and yet she was on top of every detail and even called us before appointments taking into account the time differences! I cannot recommend her high enough. You have got to reach out to her and see for yourself. read more

Deborah is one of the most experienced and professional real estate agents in SF. After working with a different agent and losing out on several houses, we decided to change agents and thankfully found Deborah. She helped us navigate the complicated SF market and purchase and later sell our first home. She is extremely savvy and has strong, successful strategies for buying and purchasing in the Bay Area. We sadly moved out of CA but if we ever return, we will only work with Deborah. read more

6 star broker! Deborah knows SF very well, down to the buildings, and in some cases even the units. Having that kind of intell at your fingertips is incredibly helpful, especially in a crazy competitive market. Her solid relationships with the broker community also means your transaction will go smoothly, as it's already built on a foundation of friendship and trust. I also relied on Deborah for a lender recommendation, where best to buy appliances, even SF's best restaurants! Amidst unprecedented and challenging times (the global pandemic CV19) she was also able to ensure we closed quickly, ahead of schedule, so that I could shelter in place in my new home. It's hard to put into words the psychic relief this has given me. Have transacted in real estate 3x and this was by far the easiest (albeit in the hardest market) and most seamless, largely due to Deborah's expertise and resolution oriented ways. Highly recommend! read more

We worked with Deborah when we moved to San Francisco in 2006. She showed us so many homes and then when we picked the one we wanted, helped us strategize on our offer and through patience (ours) and persistence (hers) was able to secure the property for us at our initial offer price. So when it came time to sell in 2020, there was no question that we wanted Deborah to be our listing agent. She worked with us to determine the things to do to our home to get top dollar. She coordinated contractors, helped us choose materials, and supervised the staging. There was a lot to do but Deborah was organized and cheerful throughout. We sold our home quickly at a very good price. I know Deborah has a lot of clients but she always made us feel that we were her top priority. If we ever move back to San Francisco, I know who I'm going to call! read more

We've worked with Deborah to buy our last two homes and cannot recommend her enough. Both of these properties were "non-standard" and only worked out because of her experience and deep network - the first home eight years ago was a short-sale condo that required a lot of hoop jumping (which she happily did/let me through) and the more recent one was an off-market opportunity (that she identified and quickly connected us to) The main reason we really like working with her because she is direct with her opinions (in a polite way) can handle the same from her clients - she's not shy about letting us know when she thinks something is not a good idea and she never wastes our time showing us things we knew wouldn't work. Beyond that, her extensive and specific knowledge of San Francisco neighborhoods continually surprised us...we're not talking generalities like "Parkside is a quiet neighborhood" but specifics like "even though they're neighboring streets, X ave is quite a bit quieter and more desirable than Y ave because the lot sizes tend to be larger". She's also incredibly hard working, seemingly working around the clock to help us find and close on that perfect home - she even called to check in on me while taking her well-deserved once-a-year vacation. Give her a shot, you will not be disappointed! read more

Deborah is the best agent I could imagine working with, especially in a market as crazy as San Francisco. She knows the trade inside out, is always available (her typical text response time is about 1 minute), is incredibly patient, and will be honest with you without ever being pushy. She figured out my taste pretty quickly and focused in on what I wanted really well. She helped me watch out for things I wouldn't have thought of, and was endlessly generous with her knowledge, experience, and network. She was on my side 100% and never once made me feel pressured or rushed. The place I ended up with was never fully listed and wasn't cleaned up or staged for sale, so I never would have found it without her keen eye. I know several other people who have worked with her as well with equally excellent experiences - including really going to bat to fix issues large and small. She cares about her work in the kind of deep way that is really just genuinely caring about her clients' happiness and success - to the point of building lasting personal friendships with many. I would recommend Deborah 100% to anyone looking for a home in SF. read more

I had the pleasure of working with Deborah over my first and second home purchases in San Francisco, as well as selling my first condo. I couldn't be happier with my experience. Her knowledge of the whole process is phenomenal. She held my hand through the whole complex procedure. She was never annoyed when I had to ask her several times about certain matters that felt incomprehensible to me. She answered promptly and clearly. She even went above and beyond in helping me with some minor repairs and renovations of my new home purchase. Enlisting contractors that she worked with as well as making her self available in surveying their work. She still checks in with me even when her work is clearly done. I couldn't have asked for a better agent. I would give her 10 stars if I can. Thank you Deborah for everything! read more

Deborah is amazing. We found a perfect condo that met all our needs. Deborah's knowledge of the city, the SF market, and contacts for every part of the buying and moving process made buying our first condo so much easier than I expected. read more

Deborah is a fantastic agent. She really gets to know you and your tastes and tailors showing accordingly. She was very forthcoming and did not force us anytime with something we were not comfortable with. Super hardworking and efficient and we got to a point of landing an offer every week... apparently the San Francisco thing. She also was our shrink helping us through several offer rejections. We got lucky with our 8th offer and thanks to Deborah's established relationships in the SF marketplace which was super critical in getting our offer accepted. We are loving our home! Thanks Deborah! read more

I selected Deborah after interviewing 3 San Francisco agents by phone. As an out of state buyer it was important to find the right "connection" in order to find the right property long distance. This task was complicated further by COVID. Deborah has a thorough knowledge of the suitable locations, buildings, surroundings and pricing in San Francisco which is undoubtably one of the most complex and fluid markets in the country. After 4 months of patient searching, face time walk- through and conversations Deborah found me the perfect property. She took care of every detail and step throughout and after the process. Her knowledge and relationships are invaluable. Highly recommend. read more

Deborah Nguyen - Compass - Real Estate Agents Near Me - San Francisco, California

BEST real estate agent ever!!! My husband and I have worked with multiple real estate agents over the years, as we have moved seven times in 11 years for work. Nobody is better than Deborah in terms of knowledge of the business, the San Francisco market and enjoyment of the process. Deborah made the process of finding a condo for our daughter easy and fun. Not only did we find the perfect home to purchase but we learned so many fun and useful facts about the various neighborhoods she escorted us through. Also, as this was our first condo purchase, there were so many relevant facts to know that Deborah readily educated us on. She even recommended the absolutely best financial officer to help us get the best rates in the market. Cannot recommend Deborah highly enough! read more

If you're serious about selling your condo (in 94110 or San Francisco) and getting top dollar, not only hire Deborah but listen and do EVERYTHING she says. She has an incredible arsenal of knowledge and expertise and she knows what she's doing! She is also one of the most pleasant and supportive partners to have in a real estate transaction. Having never sold a property before, I had a lot of questions and didn't understand all of the processes. Deborah guided me through and made me feel empowered and well informed. She's also one of the few people I know that answers texts within minutes and returns phone calls! I just left SF after 24 years. I doubt I'll miss the ever changing city but I will miss seeing Deborah! read more

I cannot find enough great things to say about Deborah & Christian. I have known Deborah for 12 years and she helped me to buy my first home, sell it and buy a new condo. She is extremely responsive, an expert in San Francisco real estate, takes the time to understand what her clients need/want and is very straightforward. Even when I wasn't 100% sure I was ready to sell my first condo, she met with me several times to help me think through my options. She and Christian did everything they could (plus more) to make a very stressful process so easy. It was 90 days from when I listed and sold my Hayes Valley condo until I closed escrow on a new development condo between Nob Hill and Pacific Heights. She and Christian helped me to project manage, find contractors and prepare the Hayes Valley condo to be put on the market. I am convinced they are the reason why my condo sold for twice my purchase price! You can't go wrong with this real estate team. read more

Deborah's combination of enthusiasm, intellect and integrity can be hard to find in a friend, let alone a real estate agent! Over 13 years of working with her on multiple properties, our family is proud to now include her in both categories! Deborah's depth of knowledge in the SF market and broad connections have proved invaluable when finding the perfect property as a buyer, as well as getting the maximum price when selling. We are eternally grateful for the kindness and capability she exhibits toward everyone throughout the process. We have even had friends contact us randomly after meeting to express how impressed they were with her! THANK YOU DEBORAH! You are superb. read more

I rarely, if ever, write reviews but feel it's warranted in this case. I have purchased and sold 2 homes in San Francisco, both during very challenging fluctuations within the housing market, and had exceptional results in both cases because of Deborah Nguyen's expertise and intuition. I met Deborah in 2004 when I relocated from Texas and was completely overwhelmed by the demands of a new job and the crazy Bay Area housing market. She sensed my apprehension and stepped me through the entire process in way, and at a pace, that worked perfectly for me. She also understood my new job required a lot of my focus, so she adjusted her consultation to fit my schedule. Soon after, we found a fantastic place in a great neighborhood that worked for me. 4 years later I told Deborah my housing needs changed so she worked with me to test the market and prepare my condo for sale. She helped me select professional painters and stagers who's work quickly attracted a buyer who made a profitable offer. At the same time, Deborah guided the search for my second home, and together we found the perfect house with plenty of room in a fantastic neighborhood. Her expertise in negotiations resulted in a purchase price well below asking. This past year I made the tough decision to retire and leave the Bay Area, so naturally I called Deborah. She openly shared housing data that pointed toward a market slowdown, so we adjusted our approach accordingly. Her strategy was focused on making smart, judicious improvements that would attract the limited buyers with the vision and resources to appreciate our home. The result? Nine offers - eight of which were well above our asking price. I am convinced the offer we ultimately accepted (actually not the highest, but $600K above asking) was due to Deborah's expertise in negotiation. Deborah's success is largely based on how she takes each client's unique needs, budget and interests into account and uses them as the basis for their collaboration. I highly recommend Deborah to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in San Francisco. read more

We bought a single family home with Deborah over the summer in San Francisco. Deborah was with us every step of the way. She toured houses with us, had helpful and realistic suggestions for us that fit our family's needs. She was extremely helpful in explaining and guiding us through the buying process​ and knew all the ins and outs of the opaque San Francisco real estate market. I strongly would recommend her to my closest family and friends. Really a top- notch professional! read more

Deborah is a top notch real estate agent with a critical business eye on what helps property sell here in San Francisco with the best results. In all my years of living in San Francisco (over 4 decades) and buying/selling properties (4 within San Francisco and 1 in Sonoma), I feel the recent sale of my property in San Francisco the best of all my real estate experiences due to Deborah's extraordinary skills, energy and drive. Deborah really impressed me from the very start with her ability to size up my property, advise me on what property improvements to consider in preparing for the sale, and making fast connections with contractors to do the work. She didn't waste any time and within a few weeks I was astonished at how quickly the property transformed into a gem that attracted qualified and excited buyers, with sales results that impressed not only me but also her real estate colleagues and partners. During any sales process, there are always issues and concerns that might come up, and some unexpected bumps in the road. It was such a comfort to me to have Deborah at the helm looking out for me every step of the way. I had complete trust in Deborah, and she earned my trust with her respect and responsiveness to my questions and requests, keeping me thoroughly informed and feeling in control. All this she accomplished while having a great sense of humor, a real joy for the work she performs, and a real concern for me not only as a client, but also as a person. read more

You will not find a better real estate agent than Deborah. She helped us find our dream home. Denorah has decades of experience and stays in top of the market. She features all of the traits you would want in an agent - knowledgeable, trustworthy, responsive, and diligent. In a tough market, she stayed on top of new Listings, and gave us honest assessments of whether to pursue a listing or not. Some agents might be out to make a quick buck. Not Deborah. We always felt that she was looking out for our best interests, and it worked out in the end. I would highly recommend that you contact Deborah if you're looking for an agent. read more

We worked with Deborah last spring from the very start of our search. She was helpful in helping us narrow down what we really wanted, and continuously honest yet assuring about the difficult market conditions. Her guidance on neighborhoods, house features, renovations and bidding eventually led us to wonderful that we love. Buying a home in SF is an emotional and difficult process, and we couldn't be happier to have worked with someone who truly felt like a partner to us through the thick of it. I addition to just knowing the market inside and out, she was incredibly communicative, always available via phone or text for guidance, and has continued to support us with occasional recommendations and check-ins now that we are in the house. You won't regret working with Deborah! read more

I rarely write reviews on Yelp but really wanted to leave one for Deborah. I moved out of my SF condo during Covid as I needed a bigger space for my son. I worked with another agent before Deborah, and she was okay but she just couldn't sell it for six months despite the fact that we lowered the price significantly. After that six months, with a strong recommendation from another friend of mine, I've decided to work with Deborah. In less than 10 days, she found a buyer who was a perfect fit for for my condo. Ultimately selling your property matters and Deborah did a fantastic job doing so, but I also want to call out how responsive and accommodating she was throughout the whole process (however late in the night. I have a full time job and a toddler so it wasn't easy for me to contact her during the day time). She's very attentive and empathetic, and I can't recommend her enough. read more

My wife and I worked with Deborah and Christian for over 3 and 1/2 years looking for a home in San Francisco. We did just recently close on a home and we could not be happier with our choice in agents. Deborah stayed patient, hardworking, forthright and extremely well informed throughout the whole process of helping educate us on the city and then each home that gained our interest. She did advise us often, but also took the time to understand us and our family. The process of buying a home here in San Francisco definitely seemed like a bit much when we started so long ago, but when we finally found the correct home much of our certainity came from the confidence we have in Deborah. We can not recommend someone more than we do Deborah and Christian read more

My husband Alan and I had the pleasure of meeting Deborah through a co-worker referral. We were very new to the SF real estate market and were 1st time home buyers. Deborah's decades of experience in SF real estate was immensely clear as she guided us with patience and expertise through our search for our first home as a married couple. She did not once steer us in the wrong direction and was always spot on in her assessment of property value and risks. Through this highly competitive and idiosyncratic market, Deborah was never pushy, always available (even when on vacation in Europe) and was a critical resource throughout our year long journey to find our home. She created a helpful schedule of events, walked us through the full escrow and closing process, provided recommendations for lenders, insurers, lawyers and was always available for questions and calls, even late at night to accommodate busy schedules. She is truly one of the most thoughtful, caring and professional agents we've worked with. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an agent to navigate the SF real estate market. read more

Words can't describe how fantastic Deborah and Christian are!!! I have worked with Deborah on both the purchase, and sale, of my condo in San Francisco. In 2012, I relocated to SF from the East coast, and boy was I shocked by the cost of real estate, as well as the crazy dynamics of the SF real estate market. Deborah was recommended through my company, and I could not have been luckier. Deborah was patient with me, guided me, and often had to give me tough love to help me better understand the market. I ended up with a beautiful, new construction 2Bed/2Bath condo in Noe Valley. She wrote an extremely clean offer, and I was accepted among many. I loved my condo and memories I created there! Fast forward 3.5 years later, and it was time for me to relocate out of the city. I called Deborah, and within 5 days, my home had been completely vacant, staged and on the market. She sold my place in 8 days! She coordinated movers, painters, stagers, gardeners, handymen...you name it! I literally handed over my keys and she took care of everything...I was already on the road to my new location! After seeing the superb customer service that Deborah provided, my fiance replaced his realtor in the city, and Deborah had his home on the market and sold within 10 days (his house was on the market for 30 days prior to Deborah taking it over!) Deborah knows the SF market like no other. She is smart, aggressive (in a good way!), and truly cares about her clients. I have purchased 7 homes over the past 15 years, and no one compares to Deborah! If I could take her with me to every location I move, I would! Thank you Deborah and Christian for everything...you have enabled Joey and I to start our lives together very quickly in our new location, while leaving SF with a bang! read more

Deborah was awesome in helping my wife and I find our single family home in Parkside. We were first time home buyers and Deborah really went out of her way to walk us thru the entire process. Even though this was our first time buying, we had a good basis for comparison as we were working with other realtors for other Bay Area properties outside San Francisco. The difference was night and day! Only after the first week of looking, my wife and I immediately wished that Deborah could help us with all our property searches outside San Francisco. No such luck. Just San Francisco alone keeps her busy enough. First of all, the amount of hours Deborah works must be insane because we were contacting her every day and hitting the open houses 3-4 days a week! We talked on the phone almost every day and she responded to all of our texts and emails within minutes. She really made us feel as if we were her only clients although I know she works with a ton of other people in the city. There's no one who knows the SF real estate market more than Deborah. She was extremely helpful in giving us insider tips on how the sellers price their homes, what to look for when reading listings and attending open houses, and even offering some helpful remodeling advice. The lady's reputation also precedes her as almost all other agents hosting the open houses knew her or knew of her. As soon as you mention you're her client, they all know better not to mess around! 3 months and 7 bids later (SF market is crazy), we were able to close on a property within our budget. Deborah was very supportive during the whole process. When our bid was finally accepted, we had a very tight window for inspection contingencies. She helped us find inspectors at the very last minute for everything: general, roof, pest, and sewage. She even volunteered her time to meet and go through the walk-through with the appraiser even though it wasn't her job to do so! My wife and I couldn't be happier and we couldn't recommend Deborah more! read more

Deborah is among the best agents in the Bay Area. I would encourage you to work with her on your home search/sale. During the spring/summer of 2016, my wife and I relocated to San Francisco from Washington, DC, and Deborah helped us to find a fabulous home in Westwood Park. A great real estate agent should know two things. They should know you; their customer, and they should know their market. We were amazed at how quickly Deborah got to know us and what we wanted in a home. Deborah asks great questions. She gets a sense of how you're living in your current home; what you'll be doing in the Bay Area; and the other factors--like schools and transit access--that are important drivers in your decision making. An agent like Deborah, who makes it her business to know you, will make efficient use of your time. Our experience with her was that every visit to a property was a hit. We never walked out of a house wondering, "Why did she bring us here?" A great agent must also know her market, and this is an area where Deborah excels. She grew up in San Francisco. She has been buying and selling in this market for years. She knows which house has been in a family for 40 years, and which ones have changed hands in a quick flip. She can tell you which homes have had high quality renovations, and which ones have unlocked potential. When you are buying in a competitive market, you need detailed market knowledge like this working for you.When it was time to make an offer, we appreciated Deborah's solid advice on strategy. Deborah's experience and business savvy extends to the closing process. Ours was a fairly complex corporate move, and we were impressed by Deborah's attention to detail. She always seemed to be one step ahead of the other players, and she was quick to make a call or dash off an email to ensure that things remained on-track. When you're making a substantial financial commitment, it's nice to have an agent who is looking out for your time and your money. Do not hesitate to work with Deborah Nguyen on your next BayArea real estate deal. She is a great person and a savvy, well-connected pro. read more

Deborah is an amazing agent! We feel extremely lucky and are very thankful to have had her recommended to us by friends as first-time buyers in San Francisco. Right from the beginning, she sought to understand our needs and wants and as we saw more and more of the market (and adapted our requirements!), she was always quick to adjust! Deborah helped us understand the market, neighborhoods and pros and cons of every house/condo that we saw. She put us in touch with a mortgage broker we have had a great experience with and was extremely proactive in explaining everything to do with bidding on a house to us! We never felt that any piece of information was missing with her and if we ever had a question (and we had many!), she was unbelievably responsive. We truly feel Deborah wanted the best for us and nothing highlights that more than when, after coming close on each of our first 3 bids, we discovered that we were pregnant and chose to put our search on hold for a bit. :) Deborah's reaction? Nothing but support for our decision and an open door to start back up when we are ready. This reaction further confirmed that Deborah is the right agent for us and we look forward to working with her again in the hopefully not so distant future! read more
