My family rented 181 Dipsea for 2 months and because of the Coronavirus we got to see Seadrift…read moreRealty and the owner's true character. Cold greed like I've never seen before. The sort of character that makes your skin creep up, like you're watching a horror film. A few individuals I'd like to make you beware of are Mr. O'Connor (owner of 181 Dipsea), Ashley and Betsy (both from Seadrift realty). I couldn't put their full names because of Yelp's policy. I'm writing this review, a day after being forced to move out and risk transmitting Covid-19 to my father, with no where else to go. A "shelter at home" order and "moratorium on evictions" has been put in place by the Governor of California. My dad is one of the highest risk categories of death for the Virus according to his cancer doctor, the CDC, and the World Health Organization. Here are some details that I wanted to make future renters and the Stinson community aware of. My dad was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic center. Our family was in shock but we moved into a charming house, 181 Dipsea, while he began his chemo treatments just over the hill from Stinson. At first everything was ideal, the house was charming, birds flying around in the lagoon, soft waves crashing on the beach, my dad could relax from the mental and physical exhaustion from one of the most lethal cancers. My dad then decided he'd like to spend his days in Jackson hole because of new developments with the Coronavirus. We ofcourse moved him there even if that would put our family through financial strain. I stayed at the Stinson house to close it out and pack our things before our rental contract was over. Then the Coronavirus became a harsh reality around March 11th globally. Because of how novel the virus was, even the cancer doctors were grappling with how to communicate to their patients. It wasn't until a few days before our rent contract would end on April 4th 2020, that our cancer doctor recommended to our family through a Zoom call that I needed to be quarantined for at least 7 more days after the rental contract was due (14 days since last possible exposure). When Mr. O'Connor, Ashley, and Betsy heard of our precarious situation, they showed their true colors. Here are a few quotes from Mr. O'Connor: "Certainly you can quarantine as you wish elsewhere, and if that is not to your taste I have nothing to say about that, which is your issue, not mine." "Accordingly, if you persist in holding over, we expect remuneration at a rate of $500 per day, our normal rate in April. If you do not pay this amount through Seadrift Realty or otherwise, we will have no recourse but to institute a lawsuit against you to collect this amount plus court costs." I've attached both his first and second email below and removed full names as per Yelp's policy. There are a lot of amazing and good people in Stinson and owners of Seadrift properties. But based on how this situation was handled, I believe the community and future renters, would be better without the evil from Betsy, Ashley and Mr. O'Connor.

Working with Madeline Gibson and the Ruth Krishnan team was an exceptional experience. Having…read moretrusted Ruth with a past property sale in the City, I already knew their team standards were high, but Madeline still managed to exceed them. My search started with her colleague, Yesinia Beatriz, who supported me early on and connected me with Madeline who was a great fit for my needs! I wanted a property in a highly competitive, expensive area during a time of low inventory. Madeline never made my goals feel unrealistic. She helped me purchase my dream home in a newly renovated TIC building on the border of Russian Hill and Nob Hill, smoothly navigating the complex TIC financing requirements. Madeline is highly knowledgeable, efficient, and responsive. She educated me using recent comparable sales data and reviewed every document thoroughly. In a multi-bid situation, her strategy secured a home that not only met my must-haves but also my would-love-to-haves (hello private garage, view, and fireplace), on my very first offer, with zero back-and-forth counters. She operates with total integrity and made me feel genuinely cared for throughout the process. I highly and absolutely recommend Madeline and the Ruth Krishnan team. I can't thank them enough!

Working with Val and the Krishnan team on our home search and purchase was a great experience!…read moreAlthough they have a busy practice, we felt very well educated and prepared at every step. (Pro tip: take the homework they give you seriously- the Past Sold exercise was incredibly valuable) Val and her team were always present and reliable when an important decision needed to be made, a problem required solving, or an opportunity demanded action. Val brings a lot of experience and judgment to the process. She is warm and personable, but also pragmatic, firm, and refreshingly no-nonsense when the situation calls for it. We appreciated having someone who could cut through the noise, give us a clear read on a situation, and help keep a complicated transaction moving forward. She also created opportunities for us that we genuinely don't think we would have had with another agent. She and her team were thorough with the details and documents, helped us work through a seemingly endless number of questions, and made the overall process much more manageable. Val is very good at what she does. If you're looking for someone experienced, well connected, pragmatic, and effective when it counts, while still being empathetic, she's a great person to have in your corner. We would absolutely work with her again and would happily recommend her to friends looking to buy or sell a home.

They were incredibly knowledgeable about buying in Marin, attentive to our needs, did not pressure us to buy quickly (we ended up searching with them for 9 months), and advocated well for us during a complicated escrow process.

Their expertise runs deep -- they know not only the ins and outs of each neighborhood, but even the nuances of individual streets. This mattered tremendously to us as we were moving from out of town and considering multiple areas in Marin. At no point did they try to sell us on a house. In fact, they often led with, "Here are the things that could be tricky about this home or neighborhood." That honesty and thoughtfulness built enormous trust throughout the process. In the end, they helped us find the perfect home for our family (and guided us through some hurdles along the way). We are incredibly grateful for their partnership and cannot recommend them enough.

I cannot recommend Vikrant, Mona and team enough. It is not for everyone but for the right buyer,…read morewho knows exactly what they are looking for and are willing to do the research, they are an amazing option. I am a first time buyer with clear vision of what I wanted and the capital. Did not want a real estate agent to find the property for me, educate me or tour the home. With the price range of property I was looking at, 2.5% of the price seemed steep and I was looking for an option. I connected with Vikrant about a month ago and now I bought my home. Their expertise was invaluable for me and walking me through step by step of the transaction process. Mona's price research was on point. I bid on the top end of the range given competitive nature of the property and just beat the next bidder. I had a LOT of newbie questions that their team had patiently answered and still are helping me through. They even set up the escrow in such a way that I did not even have to apply for rebate but the amount I owed was reduced (only applicable for cash purchase). I ended up saving a TON on agent fees and in the end, ended up being a very fast and efficient engagement with them. Highly recommend but please be aware of their limitations and make sure it is right for you.

Vikrant, Hira, and their whole team did everything they promised (and more). They were incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and strategic throughout the entire process. I never felt like I was sacrificing service or expertise by going with a flat-fee model. In fact, I'd say they outperformed the traditional agents I've worked with in the past, at a fraction of the cost. The entire experience exceeded my expectations, and I would strongly recommend them to anyone buying a home.

He helped us negotiate with potential buyers and got us a competitive price in the end. Our condo actually sold faster and for a higher price than another 1-bedroom condo in the same building. That condo was on sale before ours and stayed on the market much longer after ours. Other things: 1) He prepared a professional presentation and pitch when he first met with us when we were shopping for a realtor. Other realtors were more casual and didn't give us the information and confidence that they could sell our place like Sasha did. 2) He knew our building really well and took care of everything for us during the sales process. He went and got some documents for me from a city department so I didn't have to take off work and get them myself. I had a light fixture sent to him and he took care to get it installed. I did little other than give him keys and say yes or no to the proposals he sent me, which was great because I didn't have time to do much else. 3) He was conscious of my budget for staging the condo and got a me a second quote when I didn't like the first one. 4) He and Jessica were always nice to work with and answered my questions big and small. I had a lot of questions during the selling process and he made time to answer them. I'd hire Sasha again if I had another condo in SF to sell.

This meant a great deal to me when we were purchasing our home, as it was my first experience and I'm conceptual. I need to think through decisions with lots of detail. I had no idea what to expect from the process, and still found I had unreal expectations. Jonathan's kind and gentle handing of my stream of questions alone was enough to make him a good agent, but that's not all you get from him. We were especially appreciative of his gentle steady nature as our sellers agent complicated things oddly. He handled that sticky scenario kindly while protecting our interests at every moment. He's so kind in all his interactions it's easy to miss when he's being tough. But he is when needed. We were so proud to have ourselves represented through the sticky part so graciously and firmly. We got the correct house for us! The market at the time was like the wild west with huge overbidding, and a lot of competition. Jonathan's knowledge of neighborhoods, and other agents seriously helped us place correct offers and avoid a couple that we ultimately had no chance at. We got ours for asking! And we love our home that suits us so well, just as predicted by Jonathan at the start. Sure, he's knowledgeable, smart, personable, professional, and all that you'd need and expect in a good agent. He is also an incredibly kind, caring, you focused, person that is a joy to work with. And isn't that what we'd all like to be around, and work with? Here's your chance to select a great agent.

I can't express how much I appreciated that as we did need some guidance especially during the closing process. I'm just so glad we had Christina in our corner making sure we did everything on time; she also worked with our builder/lender to make sure everything went smoothly for us.

She made the home buying process enjoyable and less stressful than previous experiences, and we always felt she genuinely had our back. My family and I are grateful for her and would 10/10 recommend Christina to anyone looking to buy or build in the Greater Sacramento Area and Bay Area. We will be using her for all our future real-estate needs, and if you're in the market as a buyer or seller, you should give her a call. You will not be disappointed!

From the moment we first connected, Victor displayed a deep understanding of our unique needs and priorities. He took the time to listen to our preferences, budget constraints, and our desire for a safe, family-friendly community with top-notch schools. His knowledge of the San Francisco / Marin and its various neighborhoods, including San Anselmo, was impressive.

He tirelessly scoured the market for over 3 months showing us a wide range of properties that met our criteria. His patience and willingness to answer our countless questions were greatly appreciated, especially as we were navigating a move from across the world. Victor's attention to detail and ability to identify homes that matched our family's lifestyle were remarkable. Victor's negotiation skills were also a huge asset during the buying process. He was able to secure an excellent deal on a property in San Anselmo that checked all our boxes, and he worked diligently to ensure a smooth transaction from start to finish. His network of contacts, including trusted inspectors and contractors, made the home-buying process seamless and stress-free.
