Skall Glassman simply goes above and beyond. They were the only broker to present a complete,…read moreprofessional pitch with comps and appropriate financial discussion. They advised on landscaping, were happy with my staging, and did a beautiful job marketing the property. They were present at every open house and kept notes for me, which not all brokers do. When needed, they were cheerful and uplifting which was really so appreciated. When needed, they were sobering and practical which was equally appreciated. Unlike many other brokers, they are always calm and professional, never negative or blaming of others. They are not real estate attorneys but they do draw upon their extensive experience to give great, practical advice. I treasured their positivity and loved their tag teamwork. Their marketing director, Melanie Morris, did a fanastic job with video, photos, website, and especially with newer social media advertising and very helpful social media metrics. Melanie added an entire new social media advertising dimension to Skall Glassman's overall approach. I am delighted to recommend this dynamic duo -- nay, tremendous trio -- to anyone looking for just the right personalities to market your property. I was able to sell my place for the full value that I was hoping to achieve. I look forward to someday working with this team again -- 5/5 stars, well deserved!

I bought my first home from Jena last year and I was extremely happy with the entire experience…read more Jena brought both professionalism and her unique enthusiasm from start to finish. When looking for an agent, I knew I needed someone who would be able to deal with my unique set of requirements for a home. I was looking for a modern loft with antique qualities such as brick walls and exposed beams. Jena spent weeks scouring the MLS for the perfect house. After a extensive search, Jena finally found the ideal loft with everything I was looking for. She then worked closely with me to beat out six other offers and get the winning bid (without breaking the bank.) This is particularly impressive given the current RE environment we are in. Through this entire process she was in constant communication with updates and suggestions. In short, I can't recommend Jena enough. Her drive and professionalism are unmatched. You won't be disappointed.

From day one, Jena was right on point. We met and I could tell that she knew exactly what was up. Almost as if she could read my mind. Through our discussion of the SF real estate market, we covered condos, remodeling, bidding, finances and renovations, and her enthusiasm never wavered. I highly recommend Jena as a person of integrity, knowledge and skill. She took care of me--not only with class, but grace.

My experience with Melanie at KeyOpp as the selling broker as well as owner and renovator on our…read morerecent home purchase was extremely negative. While the house appeared beautiful, there was a significant issue with the "approved plans" that were prominently featured in the listing and marketing materials. After signing title but before closing, Melanie informed us that these plans weren't actually approved - they were still in the permitting process with outstanding comments and she would not commit to them ever being approved. This revelation forced us to halt escrow, hire professionals to investigate, and find emergency housing since we'd already given up our previous home. Communication from the agents has been consistently poor, and two months after closing, we still didn't have the approved plans we were led to believe came with the house. We have also discovered additional issues such as concealed plumbing problems, deceptively recovered asbestos, a concealed leaking roof, and other deliberately misleading house conditions. Based on this experience, I'd recommend potential clients carefully verify all claims when working with this agent.

Melanie and Lawrence are great teams! We were moving down from San Francisco to SoCal in June 2023,…read morebut our condo in SF had a leak and manifested mold in the bedroom. HOA won't let us fix it on our own, and we needed to wait for the board to approve it before they would fix it. All the negotiations and communication would not be possible if it wasn't Melanie and her team since we're in SoCal already. She and her team even helped us fix up and staged our condo and made it more presentable. HOA went through lots of issues itself, and our place was finally finished with the wall restoration in February 2024. But the reserve was empty, and other problems arised. The insurance company dropped the community, and HOA had a second line insurance that the lending company won't accept. We couldn't wait anymore, but we started to look for a place to purchase in SoCal. As we went into escrow, our lending company in SoCal said we had to rent out our SF condo. So Melanie passed our case to Lawrence, the owner and head of the property management in the company. He and his team started to help us start the process of getting our condo rented out. Thank God that as we're going through escrow, because of all the work that Melanie and her team put in, an all cash buyer chose our unit among the other 3 units in our community. Our escrow in SoCal was able to go through because of this. Throughout the whole process, Melanie, Lawrence, and their teams were professional, communicative, informative, and with integrity. They're God sent to us, and I would recommend them to anyone who needs a real estate agent or a property manager. Thank you so much for all your help, Melanie and Lawrence!

Our home was not in the best location which was why the other agents felt like it would be difficult to sell, but after speaking with Joanna I knew she was the right person. She said exactly what I was thinking and I liked the fact that she understood that while our home wasn't in a prime location it was still completely sellable since there's a buyer for every type of home and budget. Not only did I appreciate her mentality, but she was kind and easy to talk to. Joanna made the process fairly simple as this was our first home and first time selling a home. She explained everything which was helpful since we didn't have a clue about much of the process and she never made us feel dumb for not knowing. We didn't want to deal with the stress of going back and forth on what to do with the home to get it market ready so we trusted her and her team to make the majority of the choices with our occasional input. The house turned out great and we ended up selling over asking in less than 3 weeks. Joanna's excellent communication skills and quick response was evident in securing our final offer! Its been about 5 months since we sold our home and Joanna still checks in on us from time to time which is sweet. She is a knowledgeable and experienced real estate agent with great communication skills who is also personable. We would definitely recommend Joanna for any real estate needs.
