I chose Tim & SFBAY-RE from a list of others because he's a licensed certified Residential Real Estate Appraiser in the state of CA and has over 15 years of appraisal experience throughout the Bay Area, with a particular focus in San Francisco. He provided the appraisal in plenty of time to support the Sept '24 submission deadline. Two days before I was set to appear before the Appeals Board in May '25 the SF Assessor's Office contacted me and agreed with the assessed market value that Tim established in his appraisal. Based on the current FMV that Tim provided I will be receiving a substantial credit for tax year '24 and the new property tax will result in a considerable savings going forward. Tim was easy to work with and very responsive to my questions throughout the entire process. I was particularly thankful for the guidance he provided in preparing for the Appeals Board meeting. The cost for the appraisal was both competitive and fair and well worth it. I highly recommend Tim & SFBAY-RE if you are in need of an appraisal for a property tax appeal.

I have been a land owner for over 40 years, I hired the same property management for over 30 years…read more Although I was not happy with the previous property management, I hesitated to switch because I did not have the courage. I thought that is the way Property Management is, so I just tolerated it. Now, I am very happy... I appreciate the Prime Metro Property Management team. After I switched my property management to Prime Metro to take care of my rentals, I sleep well and enjoy life more. The reason is: Prime Metro Property management teams take good care of my properties like taking care of their own homes. Any maintenance issues, Henry attends the maintenance site in person, diagnoses the problems, discusses with me and hires and supervises the maintenance guy to do a good job. I had mold problems in one of my houses, Henry's team all participated and resolved the problem in a very organized manner. All works are done in a timely manner. When I need a painting job in one of my buildings, Henry met with the painting company and discussed what needs to be done. And he refers a good company to do the job. Since I am not able to travel, I am more than happy that Prime Metro takes over and takes good cares of my properties. In addition, Henry's has a very professional management teams, they are prompt handling issues. They are attentive, thorough, and efficient. More importantly, Prime Metro's portal website is very organized, thorough, and 100% visible to me. Prime Metro, you do an excellent job! I highly recommend you to any home owners who needs a good property management.

We recently closed escrow on our house in West Portal and are very happy with the process and the results. Paul's go-to-market plan resulted in the house selling quickly after multiple offers at a price that exceeded our expectations. We had interviewed multiple realtors but immediately felt that Paul had the most experience and the highest level of local market knowledge. Since we were not in San Francisco during the process, we appreciated their contractor connections to prepare and stage the house. Their recommended contractors were cost-effective and thorough in their work. The communication was excellent; from signing the listing agreement through closing escrow, Paul and Kathy diligently kept us updated, answered our concerns, and assisted in the paperwork. Working with them resulted in a low-stress and enjoyable experience that achieved our goals.

The real estate market in San Francisco is crazy, like in crazy expensive and unpredictable. When…read moreI inherited my parents' rental duplex in San Francisco and decided that I didn't want to be a landlord, I enlisted the help of Janice Lee to help sell the property. I picked her because of her excellent Google and Yelp reviews, and also because her office was in the same general neighborhood as the property. At first, I nearly gagged on the cost of real estate agent commissions, but at the end Janice turned out to be worth every penny. After at least 50 years as a rental, the property was in rough shape and needed a lot of work to get into an attractive enough condition to sell. On top of that, the former tenants left behind a lot of stuff that needed disposal. Janice pretty much took care of everything, from cleanup to repairs to needed renovations. She not only located and hired the contractors but even picked out the colors for painting (both interior and exterior) and flooring. It was like she had a sixth sense for what buyers wanted. The only work that was done, and it was a lot, was whatever would pay off when the property sold. The work took over a month, but it was all needed, and I really didn't have to lift a finger. When the property was finally ready to price and sell, Janice took careful note of both the surrounding market conditions and her perception of buyer sentiment at the time. The timing was good, and within 10 days we had five all-cash, no contingency, offers in hand, all for well over the asking price. We accepted one of the higher offers and the deal closed quickly. As an example of Janice's careful attention, the buyer reported a possible smell of gas on the property. It turned out to be just the smell of fresh paint, but Janice went to the property in the middle of the night (so I wouldn't have to) to meet the PG&E tech, check everything out, and get an all-clear. Janice handled all the closing paperwork, from escrow to county filings, in a precise and timely manner. It is now one year after the sale, and there have been no problems whatsoever.

She's professional, calm, and never pushy. Janice offers thoughtful suggestions and knows how to negotiate effectively without any pressure. What I appreciated most is that she respects your independence -- she doesn't try to babysit you. She'll give clear advice, encourage you to visit open houses on your own, and once you find something you like, she'll step in and do her best to make it happen. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, honest, and experienced realtor who truly looks out for your best interests. -- Leung
