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!

Kevin and his team know exactly what improvements make a difference, and they handle everything with professionalism and care.

Thanks to the guidance…read moreand experience of Kevin Cruz and his Kinetic Real Estate team, our house was quickly sold without incurring any renovation costs. 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!

After relocating to Washington, we worked with Kevin and his team to sell our condo in NoPa -- and…read morewe couldn't be more grateful. 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. Kevin is highly organized, ambitious, and one of the hardest-working people we've ever met. 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.

Kevin goes above and beyond as a realtor. During the home search process, he toured potential…read moreproperties and recorded videos highlighting all the relevant details, giving me a thorough preview of each home. When evaluating a property, he prioritized investigating every detail--sometimes literally digging around--to make sure it was safe and sound. He took the time to understand my priorities and helped me purchase a property I'm truly excited about. 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.

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.

We recently purchased a home in San Francisco's Inner Richmond with Josh Ortiz and Danielle…read moreLazier's team, and I can honestly say Josh changed my perception of what a great buyer's agent should be. Before choosing an agent, I spent a lot of time researching transaction histories and interviewing teams. From a previous home purchase, I learned that the difference between an average agent and a great one often comes down to negotiation. Many agents can "win" a house by telling clients to keep increasing their offer. That's easy. The real challenge is helping clients win without overpaying. From our very first meeting, Josh stood out. We told him our dream was to buy in Inner Richmond, but we assumed it wasn't realistic within our budget. Rather than pushing us toward properties or encouraging us to stretch financially, he took the time to understand exactly what we wanted, educate us on different neighborhoods and market dynamics, and help us build a thoughtful strategy. Throughout the process, Josh was incredibly disciplined. There were plenty of homes we could have chased, but he never pressured us to make offers that didn't make sense. In a market where homes regularly sell hundreds of thousands--and sometimes more than a million dollars--over asking, that level of restraint and honesty is rare. About four months into our search, Josh brought us an opportunity before it officially hit the market. The situation was complex, and the sellers ultimately decided to list the property publicly. Josh helped us navigate every step, carefully managing timing, strategy, and negotiations while keeping a close pulse on competing interest. The result? We ended up buying a home we love in the exact neighborhood we originally thought was out of reach. Even better, the bank appraisal came back significantly higher than our purchase price, confirming that we had secured exceptional value in one of the most competitive housing markets in the country. On top of that, Josh connected us with a lender who successfully navigated our complex income situation, secured a great rate, and closed our loan in just 14 days. What impressed me most was that Josh always acted like an advisor rather than a salesperson. At every stage, his focus was on helping us make the right decision, not simply getting us into a transaction. If you're looking for someone who knows the San Francisco market, negotiates strategically, and genuinely looks out for your interests, I highly recommend Josh and Danielle's team.

He listened and noted all the things I was looking for in a dream home. From there, he would send me listings of homes that he felt would be a good fit based on what I was looking for. He took care of setting all the appointments and was the middle person between me and the sellers. He also made sure the homes he sent over were in a safe neighborhood. He stayed on top of all deadlines and helped me map out everything I would need to make the closing process as simple and streamlined as possible. Thanks to Nick, I found my dream home and what normally is a stressful process, was actually fun and easy.

Working with Yesenia was one of the best decisions we made during our home search. As first-time…read morehome buyers, we were navigating a lot of uncertainty, and she made the entire process feel grounded and manageable. She is incredibly knowledgeable about each neighborhood, from the nuances of location to comps and shifting market dynamics. What really stood out was how Yesenia helped us think clearly and never pushed us in any direction, but instead guided us toward defining what our dream home truly looked like. That clarity made all the difference when it came time to act. In a highly competitive and constantly changing market, Yesenia helped us put together a strong, thoughtful offer strategy. Yesenia was patient throughout our months-long search, always responsive, and consistently kind. We genuinely enjoyed working with her-our vibe just clicked from day one. Even after our offer was accepted, her support didn't stop. From contract to close (and even beyond), she was there every step of the way, which meant a lot to us as first-time buyers.

We worked with Yesenia Beatriz on the daunting task of buying a single-family home in SF. It seemed…read moreimpossible considering the enormous difference between asking and closing prices. 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.
