Christine is everything you would want in a real estate agent. We worked with her as a buyers agent…read morein southern Marin and she helped us understand and untangle a complex market, and a complex time. Helped us prioritize and let us refine our search criteria. She is responsive. She brought in help... engineers, architects, gardeners to helps us visualize potential in properties. All we had to do was pose a question like, 'I wonder what it would look like if...' and she would help find the answer. She has a keen eye herself, and helped us not make mistakes on more than one occasion. She is patient, understanding, knowledgeable and interested in who she represents. I honestly cannot imagine a better agent to work with. There are a lot of 'nice' agents. Christine is a wonderful person, but more importantly for the process, she is honest, transparent and perceptive. We feel really lucky to have this level of professional comfort with someone we enjoy as much. She is outstanding.

Christine helped me through a multi-year on/off process of looking for a new home in San Francisco…read more I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Christine for both buying and selling a home in SF - she's more than a real estate agent, she's a true advisor in the end-to-end home buying/selling process and goes above and beyond for her clients to be happy with their transaction. I met Christine at an open house for a property she was listing - what luck did I have to run into her that day! I was instantly impressed with her passion for the market and felt she was someone that I could easily work with. She is an amazing real estate agent for so many reasons: 1. She cares. Personally, this one means the most. She is professional, honest, dedicated and values her integrity. She was transparent with me throughout the process so that I was very aware of issues/concerns as I made my decisions. She was my advocate through and through in working various bids, and very clearly cared that I found the right place for me and that I was well informed along the way. 2. She knows the city and the market. Christine knows SF inside and out - and she's seen so much from the real estate side of things. Her input on locations (street/neighborhood) and the overall market was simply invaluable in working through the SF buying process. Her insights helped me eliminate some areas and zero in on others to help meet my personal preferences. 3. She makes herself available. Whether via text, phone call or in person, I was always able to connect with Christine to ask a question (any question!) so that I was comfortable with the process. She makes time to go to Open Houses whether timing works to go with you or whether she attends separately and then downloads with you on pros/cons on the property. 4. She has contacts. And she's willing to share them to help you get into your place as easily as possible. At every turn, Christine had a practical idea of how to address issues as quickly as possible. When it came to electricians or flooring teams, Christine's suggestions were ALL rockstars at very reasonable pricing.

Danita Kulp served as my agent when I was trying to sell a condominium situated near UC/Parnassus…read more It was a complicated sale because the unit was located on leased city land which means I was contractually obligated to adhere to numerous requirements mandated by the city of San Francisco when selling this property. I've sold properties before, but this was an entirely new and completely unknown real estate landscape for me. Danita's experience with this type of property is extensive, so she brings a combination of experience, perspective, patience and perseverance to the sales process. This was crucial to preparing the property for sale, marketing it effectively, negotiating with prospective buyers and their agents, and ultimately achieving a successful conclusion to the sales process. I don't live in the San Francisco area and had to administer this property from hundreds of miles away. From my perspective, this was going to further complicate the sales process, but Danita stepped in and helped facilitate many of the repairs and the ongoing maintenance for the property, as well as conducting numerous open houses to get the property out there and seen by prospective buyers as much as possible. My background is as a corporate auditor. I, therefore, hire people who know the entire job and are good at communications, high-level details, have excellent follow-through and offer dependable, consistent, good quality service. I highly recommend Danita based upon these qualities as well as her many years of experience, her professionalism and expertise, and her grasp of the nuances of selling property in both San Francisco and the Bay Area.

Every now and then you have a relationship in "business" matters that seems to evolve into a real…read morebond and friendship based on respect and appreciation. The person's professionalism, acumen, and passion for the trade in which they are engaged leaves a lasting impression. My experience with Danita as my realtor in buying my home was this way and I know I am not the only one. As a first time home buyer approaching middle age I had long been yearning to own my own house and have been confused and terrified by it just as long, having little knowledge or experience, and honestly a rather procrastinating and anxious nature. Since moving out to the bay area I began to want even more to find a permanent home and to finally get out of renting. I was also overwhelmed by sky-rocketing housing prices that seemed as though they would be hardly attainable or would be such a financial burden as to be a giant financial mistake. My wife and I were referred to Danita by a friend who not only had used her in the past but had actually become close friends after the fact (as I think happens a lot). Danita listened to our goals and plans like a counselor would, and then got to work for us finding the right home with an amazing blend of passion, experience, knowledge, and wisdom. She went out of her way to help us, working tirelessly to find us and show us the right places. She new exactly when to be patient with us and when to push us toward our goals. In the home-shopping process she even gave me a lift to a few showings and as we talked in the car I got to hear a lot about her decades of experience. I quickly realized that this is an amazing lady who has been in this business a long LONG time and truly does it as her gift and passion. She continued to impress me as we continued to work together, multiple times navigating and avoiding personally and mutually harmful pitfalls between us and sellers' realtors who obviously had much less experience and expertise than she. Once we zeroed in on the right place, Danita impressed again with her intense dedication and shrewd negotiating skills in the closing process. We truly found the perfect place, and I know it wouldn't have been possible without Danita's help. I wish all my major business affairs could be like this. I love my home, it's perfect. I was and am so happy to have had an ally like Danita to work on my side in what seemed like such an intimidating process. If you are buying or selling a house, I can say without a doubt that Danita is the very best. An absolute pro who provides excellent guidance and will fight tooth and nail for her clients best interests. She's also just amazingly warm and good people to boot. You'll probably also make yourself a great new friend just like my family and countless others have as well.

Not only does Claudia deeply understand real estate and the San Francisco market, she is also a genuinely wonderful person--charming, smart, calm, and incredibly reliable. Selling a home is an emotional process, and that relationship matters enormously. Claudia excelled on every level. Even though we are very organized, Claudia was always several steps ahead of us. With an extremely short window to get the property on the market, she quickly found and scheduled top-quality tradespeople and services at prices we never could have secured on our own. Her experience showed at every turn--she anticipated issues before they arose and pre-empted every possible scenario. By the time we went live, we were completely bulletproof. Claudia truly listens. She built a clear strategy around our end goal and executed it flawlessly. Every detail--from house styling and presentation to photography to pricing--was thoughtfully planned, clearly communicated, tested with a trusted group of experienced colleagues, and refined. Nothing was left to chance. The result? We sold within one week, accepting an offer **21% over asking**. If you want exceptional results, choose Claudia. Tell her your ideal outcome, trust her expertise, and follow her guidance exactly--she genuinely knows what she's doing. Highly, highly recommended.

Lizi is the consummate professional and always diplomatic, but she is also honest, direct and and not afraid to speak her mind. She patiently explained that a bright orange Dining room might not appeal to everyone, that my Red Sox themed den might be a tad over the top, and that my hot tub time machine kitchen might be ready for a makeover. Lizi helped us find electricians, painters, and landscapers, held catered open houses and gave me feedback on every single showing and open house. Lizi was calm and reassuring during the entire transaction and had a great rapport with other agents. She did such an incredible job with promotional materials-the photographer she hired did such an amazing job! I highly recommend Lizi Tabet- she puts the real in real estate!

For our 1st house, it took us almost 2 years to finally made the decision. Lizi never rushed or gave up on us. She was always there to answer my questions and make appointments. Her care for us did not stop after we moved into the house. I found my gardener, designer and many good friends all through her. My life became so much easier with her expertise and friendship. Our 2nd house was bought off the market at a very good price, thanks to Lizi, who helped me watch the market closely. After closing, I needed to go back to China, so Lizi helped me find a very good tenant, and get the house ready for move-in. Lizi negotiated a nice discount for us on our 3rd condo, and she has been on top of the walk-through and interviewing the leasing agents, like this condo is the investment of herself. I would recommend Lizi to all my friends and family.

As a first home buyer, we had a lot of questions for her but she patiently answered all and was available to help all the time, the answer to any question was a text away! We really appreciate what Sherry did for us and sometimes we think that if she would not have kept us calm in this little difficult transaction then we would have dropped the plan to buy a house. We found her more of a friend than our agent, she kept us honest on what price we should pay for the unit, made us aware of the pro's and con's of the place and helped us narrow down on the right unit based on the future resell. I would highly recommend anyone interested in buying in the Bay area to go with Sherry and they would not be disappointed.

He worked with…read moreus patiently for over two years as we went through this search process and he even has helped us through the rental process as we put the property on the rental market and rented it. He helped us formulate an excellent strategy in a very competitive market. His follow through and attention to detail were excellent. He found properties for us as our priorities changed over time and he never forced us into something to close a sale. When we made the offer on the home that we bought, we were not the highest offer and we were not an all cash offer, yet Omar found a way to build trust with the listing agent and get our offer accepted. He was able to find out what the seller was looking for in a buyer and worked to close the sale. We closed the sale in 12 days and it was largely thanks to Omar following through on all aspects including the appraisal, title office..... Even long after the purchase he has stayed in touch and helping us out with some home warranty and repair issues. Omar was very well connected with everyone involved in the purchase of a house. Whenever we went to see properties, the realtors representing the seller knew him or had worked with him and they always had a lot of respect for him.
