From the first meeting I was impressed with Wilson's thoughtful approach, which was clearly driven by a strong mix of market data and years of industry experience.

Also a big shoutout to Priscilla and Michele, who helped throughout the process and were amazing as well!

We interviewed three realtors and we selected Wilson because we agreed with his vision as to how to prepare our home for sale and his assessment of current market conditions. We were very pleased with the decision as we found out that Wilson has a strong team to support the preparation and sales process. A project plan was developed months in advance and for the most part all deadlines were achieved. Luis (contractor) and Priscilia (coordinator) prepared the house for sale on time and on budget. The staging firm did a great job in presenting our home. When necessary Wilson was alway available to answer our questions. The Open Houses took place as we planned months in advance and we were given an update at the end of each weekend. When offers came in Wilson and Cathy (Experttcs) helped us navigate through the negotiation process until we accepted a bid that met our target. We were then introduced to Michele (Director of Ops) and Aldolfo (escrow officer of WFG Title Co.) to guide us through the closing process. Their assistance made the paperwork burden as painless as possible. We were happy with the entire process and impressed with how the Own Team worked together to get the job done. We deducted a 1/2 star because the lateral sewer work mandated by the city was delayed for weeks because the plumber that OWN uses was not available. This caused a delay in closing. My recommendation to OWN is to expand the list of plumbers the company can use. Also, we were assigned an original coordinator with whom we did all the pre-planning. However, when execution time arrived we discovered she left the company. Thankfully Priscilia stepped in and everything worked out fine.

Working with Nero was great from start to end. As first time home buyers, the process was somewhat…read moreintimidating. Navigating all the different organizations and requirements along with the hundreds of pages of documents was made infinitely easier knowing that Nero was always available to answer our questions. Nero also gave us the distinct impression that he genuinely wanted to help. He went above and beyond in making sure everything went smoothly, even outside of his direct responsibilities as a realtor. For example, when one of the inspectors couldn't find access to the crawl space, Nero took time out of his day to come to the property and find it himself. This is just one of the many examples which made us feel that Nero truly cared. We will definitely be reaching out to Nero again if we, or anyone we know, needs a realtor in the future. I cannot recommend him enough!

Surprisingly, before the house was even listed on the market, we got a great offer just two weeks after we signed a contract with Kevin. This shows how well-connected and experienced Kevin and his team is with both buyers and sellers of properties in the Bay Area/Daly City market. We were very impressed by his presentation of showcasing the property to gain maximum exposure to both online and visiting buyers. As our realtor, Kevin was in constant communication throughout the entire process and we ended up getting the best deal possible. Selling a home has never been so well-organized, convenient and satisfying. I highly recommend and compliment Kevin and Kinetic Real Estate for an outstanding job!

When evaluating a property, he prioritized investigating every detail--sometimes literally digging around--to make sure it was safe and sound.

The property needed some updates and changes, and Kevin helped with the heavy lifting by making a list, identifying the key issues, and helping prioritize the work that needed to be done. When I shared everything Kevin was helping me with, friends were surprised. They said their realtors were no longer involved after the sale. Kevin clearly loves the process of matching homes with buyers. I'm grateful for his help and support.

We were introduced to him through a close friend who had worked with him before, and I can see why they recommended Kevin's team.

From the start, he came to us with a clear vision: make thoughtful improvements to maximize appeal to buyers. He handled the entire process seamlessly, managing every detail and going above and beyond to keep expectations aligned every step of the way. If you're buying or selling in San Francisco, we'd recommend Kevin without hesitation. He truly puts his heart into his work.

My wife and I spent 15 years in the East Bay dreaming about moving back to San Francisco, but when…read morewe finally decided to make it happen, we came to the search pretty unfocused. We knew what we wanted (classic SF character, water views, a walkable and vibrant neighborhood) but had no clear sense of where to find it all or how to think about our budget. We needed more than a real estate agent; we needed someone who could help us find the dream itself. Danielle Lazier at Vivre Real Estate became our buyer's agent, and she was exactly that person. She listened carefully, zeroed in quickly on what would feel like home to us, and brought real clarity to how our budget aligned with home values on the ground. She was direct and always available, without ever making us feel rushed. We found a stunning co-op apartment in Russian Hill with breathtaking views. Danielle's strategic pricing advice helped us craft a winning offer, and her expertise navigating the additional complexities of a co-op transaction was invaluable. She connected us with excellent vendors, guided us through contingencies, and kept us calm through closing. If you're a home buyer trying to navigate San Francisco's uniquely complex real estate market, there is no one more qualified to have in your corner. She turned a vague old dream into our actual home, and we couldn't be more grateful.

She guided us through the ideal mortgage and escrow process, even through inspection, and coached me in making the offer that wasn't refused. Danielle Lazier takes the needs of her clients as her own goals and addresses them with expertise and grace.

Samantha and her team for the job done for us!…read more Before any referrals, by chance we met Samantha at an open house while we were in our window shopping phase. We were impressed with her approachability and professionalism. It crossed our mind to work with her as our exclusive buying agent then. Later, we found out several of our friends also successfully bought with Samantha in San Francisco so we decided to reach out. The process was simple, we met on a zoom call and shared what our preferences and deal breakers were. Four months later and we closed in the sunset district! We never felt pressured and Samantha kept us positive and kept us engaged as the market competitiveness can be disheartening at times.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Nick Villanueva when purchasing my new home, and I can't express enough how wonderful the experience was because from the very beginning, Nick was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to my needs. Firstly, this is my first home purchase and Nick took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for in a home. He listened carefully to my preferences and priorities, which made me feel confident that I was in good hands. His deep understanding of the local market and trends was clearly evident, and it was very clear that he had my best interests at heart. Secondly, Nick had the best communication as he kept me informed at every step of the process, and made sure to answer any questions I had at any time and provided regular updates. This honestly made me feel much better and safer knowing the true transparency and responsiveness from Nick. This was truly appreciated and made the entire experience stress free. When it came to viewing properties, Nick was incredibly organized and efficient in time and would always be there before I was. He scheduled viewings at the most convenient times and provided valuable insights about each property I visited. Even after 50+ homes that I viewed, he came to each home with a great smile and energy that motivated me more in purchasing the home. Negotiating the purchase was another area where Nick showed his professional experience. His expertise and strategic approach ensured that I got the best possible deal. He handled all the negotiations with professionalism, always keeping my interests as the top priority. Honestly Nick went above and beyond to ensure that everything went smoothly, and his support throughout all the process was incredible as once again this was my first experience in purchasing a home, but after this, will definitely not be the last time I work with Nick. I am now happily moving in my new home, and I owe the world's largest thank you to Nick Villanueva for making this possible. I highly recommend Nick to anyone looking to buy or sell a home as he isn't just an agent, but honestly I genuinely see him as a friend that wants the best for you. So if you are looking for smooth expertise, professionalism, and genuine care for yourself, then Nick is the person for you.

Yesenia helped us understand where the market was at in different neighborhoods, so we could zero in on properties within our budget. Once we found the home that checked all our boxes, Yesenia worked overtime to arrange/attend a private viewing in the afternoon, then put together and submit the offer the following morning. Because of her keen knowledge of the market, we came in strong and were in contract that afternoon. Closing timelines in SF are very short, with a lot that can potentially go wrong and delay the process. Yesenia was on top of it the whole way. She regularly reminded us of things we needed to do, and when necessary, she talked directly to our loan and escrow offers to course correct and keep the closing on track. Since closing, Yesenia has stayed in contact and helped us with post-closing questions and issues (such as tracking down a missing key). To sum up, our purchase was successful because Yesenia is knowledgeable, responsive, and effective. She was dedicated to making our purchase a success, and we felt valued as clients.
