So happy I listened to my friends advice and went with Stephanie Breier as my agent! I sold my…read morehome on the Peninsula and wanted to relocate to Marin. Stephanie worked with my husband and me and found us the perfect home. She was very professional and made a stressful time less stressful! She got back to me quickly whether it was an email or phone call. I would highly recommend her!

Stephanie Breier has to be The Hardest Working Woman In Real Estate. I say that because I was in…read morereal estate and never once have I seen anyone so engaged in finding the best deal, location and best property for their needs. She works her tail off. I referred some friends to Stephanie and didn't know how it was going to work out with the market being so tight in Marin. Stephanie works days, nights, around the clock and never once stops until the client finds what is the perfect match. Then she goes about finding comps, working on the fine details of the deal and ironing out every little piece of the deal to meet the needs of her clients. She has helped a couple of my friends do some amazing deals and find the home of their dreams in the most difficult market. She loves real estate. She loves working. Stephanie is always eager to help but what is most interesting? She is really bright so she never stops thinking about the "what if" we looked here or did such and such. She is extremely creative and out of the box in her approach. I can not say enough good about Stephanie for the buyer or seller! Stephanie is the go for it agent in Marin County. She has really made herself an expert in the field. If you want an agent that will Work For You--use Stephanie Breier! She was recently named one of the "Top Agents" and she earned it!

Working with Madeline was the absolute best!

Madeline is incredibly knowledgeable, knows who to turn to for just about everything and truly cares about making her clients happy by finding them exactly what they are looking for.

They helped us with staging, working with what we had, saving us thousands of dollars. We were amazed at how much better everything looked after her changes, and wished we had decorated the same for ourselves! We appreciated her frequent communication and she could not have been more responsive, letting us know what to expect during the entire process. She was the consummate professional, and listened to our questions and concerns, giving us helpful advice. We are extremely pleased with the result and highly recommend Madeline.

My husband and I have now purchased two condos at Smith Ranch in the last seven years. The first…read morewas for my in-laws and the second was for my parents. We did exhaustive research before deciding on SR. Both times! It is truly one of a kind. It is absolutely beautiful! Feels like a luxury resort! The grounds, units, clubhouse, restaurants are beautiful! The dining experience is like no other facility! A five star restaurant! Residents are treated with great respect. All the time. By ALL the employees. SR goes the distance to take care of their residents. Valet services of all kinds made our parents feel cared for, at the same time, maintaining their independence. Easy maintenance, weekly cleaning, emergency call buttons in every room of their condo makes life so much easier for them! AND, the real estate transactions were so easy and straight-forward! Angela took care of us for our three transactions (two times purchasing, one time selling). She is extremely knowledgeable about SR. She was great at reading our parents and their needs. And helping us help them. She couldn't have made it easier. She took care of every little thing, seeming to know what we needed before we did. The transactions went perfectly and smoothly. Absolutely nothing to worry or fuss about! We would highly recommend Smith Ranch and its Marketing Associates!

We had a great experience buying our second home from Anastasia. Our first home buying experience…read morewas unpleasant, so when it came time to find a realtor to help us buy our next house, I researched and researched. Anastasia was who I found to be the best person to help guide us through the transition of moving from San Francisco up to Marin. One of the many things that I liked about Anastasia was just the impression she left on me from the first phone call. I found an informational piece she has on YouTube about how she can assist buyers. She helps clients who are just beginning the home buying process and doing research on various areas in Marin, to those who are ready to execute. I called and spoke to Anastasia over the phone and she was lovely and suggested we meet and just chat and she offered to drive us around various areas we were interested in seeing- San Rafael, Novato, San Anselmo. She drove us around and spent a great deal of time with us- (helping us navigate and figure out what would be the best area for our family to settle. We chose Novato). My husband and I were only looking, but then realized we were ready to execute and find our home. Anastasia was patient with us throughout the process, extremely informative and not pushy. She really took into consideration our needs and gave us solid input on the homes we were seeing. She knows her stuff and has a keen eye when it comes to the details. She got us into the homes before the open house in many cases. We found our dream home and she wrote a great offer, which got us the house. Her knowledge of the Marin market is savvy and being that she was raised in Marin is a wonderful asset. She can discuss neighborhoods, schools, the vibe of each neighborhood, the houses in each neighborhood that she thinks will work for you. Her opinion and guidance were right on the money! She is still helping me with finding the services / contractors / decorators I need to get our home move-in ready. That is STELLAR SERVICE!! Thank you for all of your vast knowledge, help and skills, Anastasia. You really helped us transition. She helped us find movers, and even offered to help us find temporary housing while we are waiting to move into our new home! I would also like to add that Anastasia is a great networker- she genuinely enjoys connecting people together as I do. This was a HUGE HUGE help when closing a real estate transaction. I would say most of the top Marin agents know her and like working with her, which means that makes doing a deal with her a nice and pleasant experience for the other realtor and they are familiar and comfortable working with her. I cannot say enough about how this experience was a 180 from the purchase of our first home! Thanks again for all of your help!! XO

[ First-time home buyer perspective ]…read more I was introduced to Anastasia based on a referral from a trusted friend. During our first conversation and meeting, I was impressed with her communication and perceptiveness of people. She spelled out the entire home-buying process with a multi-page packet that anticipated the questions and situations I may encounter. Since this was my first home purchase, I was very cautious throughout the process (almost annoyingly so). Anastasia was very kind and patient with me. I was looking for a home in a competitive price range and needed a realtor who could be creative with me to find what I was looking for, and could afford. Anastasia was very resourceful and willing to be unconventional with how we approached this market. During the high stress and doubt-inducing moments of the sale (and you know you'll have them!), she showed up with a calm demeanor and a canny knack for getting answers, quickly. Now that the transaction is complete, I am comforted to know that I can still reach out to Anastasia as a thought partner and helpful resource to again, get the answers I need.

We loved working with Elizabeth for the sale of our townhouse and then again a few years later for…read morethe purchase of our forever home! When interviewing realtors, what really stood out to us was how Elizabeth listened to what we wanted, rather than telling us what we should want. She has a lot of great insight but never tried to force her opinions on us. From topics like which improvements to make to our home before selling all the way to which houses to offer on and how much to offer, Elizabeth gave her well-reasoned input but ultimately made it clear that the decisions were ours to make. She never made us feel as if she was trying to push us in order to make a sale. Elizabeth was on top of everything throughout both transactions - coordinating pre-listing home improvements, connecting us with her network of contractors to visit houses with us, interfacing with the title company, recommending home insurance brokers, etc. It was a pleasure working with Elizabeth; as happy as we are to have closed on our home, we will miss our meetings/chats with her!

We couldn't have asked for a better realtor than Elizabeth!!…read more From start to finish, she guided us through the entire process with professionalism, care, and exceptional attention to detail. She helped us secure a great price for our home and was incredibly thoughtful about the security of our property during showings and open houses--something that meant a lot to us. Every step of the way, we received clear, timely updates and a well-structured timeline, which made the whole experience far less stressful than we expected. From preparing the house for staging to navigating the offer process, Elizabeth was proactive, communicative, and always had our best interests in mind. We felt supported and informed every step of the way. We're so grateful for her expertise and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!!

Our association is run by Maven Management. It's frustrating to try to communicate with them…read more There is no front desk, so the calls go to an answering service. When you try to contact them online, there is no call back. I have payments go in for the HOA and they're posted 15 days later with a late charge. This is from a customer point of view.

My partner used to rent a space in Walnut Square in Berkeley managed by Santino of Maven Properties…read more(formerly with Crown Fortune) and was quite literally traumatized by the experience. If you ask anyone in Walnut Square what they think of Santino they'll use language I can't use here. The property is poorly maintained and tenants frequently have to close temporarily due to leaks and plumbing issues for which they are never compensated. I know one tenant who was shut down for at least 2 months due to a plumbing-related problem. Another tenant was forced to move to a different location due to persistent leaks that were never repaired. Peet's in Walnut Square is plagued by problems (incl. rats). Maintenance issues as well as poor communication and callous disrespect led my partner to leave. I am writing this to warn prospective Walnut Square tenants as there are several vacancies. Don't fall for a slick sales pitch from Santino--you will regret it.

Wendy Storch is AWESOME! Wendy came highly recommend to us by several of my husband's coworkers and…read morewe are so grateful we worked with her - to sell our condo and buy a house in San Francisco. We really can't say enough good things about Wendy - she has years of experience and light years ahead of any other realtor we've talked to when it comes to technology. She texts and uses electronic signatures which save tons of time (I had a different realtor tell me once that he was going to print out a PDF file for me once because it was too big to send in email. Seriously?!) But here is why we are writing such a good review - Wendy helped us sell our condo in a super tough market after we had used another realtor who screwed things up. She accurately priced the place, staged it for the right buyer and then sold it very quickly. We were so grateful. Then a few months later she helped us land our dream house after we had been searching for years. The buyers had an agent that was, to put it kindly, not very reliable or professional, and Wendy handled it all with grace and aplomb. She is professional, kind and an absolute delight to work with - for us, Wendy really stood out as superior compared to the other realtors we've worked with in San Francisco.

Wendy helped us buy our house in Bernal Heights and we cannot say enough great things about her to…read moreeveryone we know who is even thinking about buying or selling. Wendy is THE agent you want to have. We interviewed multiple agents, did all of our homework and due diligence and Wendy's skills and knowledge of the San Francisco market proved to be unparalleled. She took care of every detail with great enthusiasm and professionalism. We had a complicated TIC deal and Wendy's experience made things very smooth for us. I certainly hope that if we ever do another real estate transaction in SF, Wendy will be at our side.
