In this market you have to be nimble, and Lauren was incredibly responsive and available when we needed her. It was so reassuring to work with such a dedicated agent.

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.

Samantha and her team for the job done for us!…read more Before any referrals, by chance we met Samantha at an open house while we were in our window shopping phase. We were impressed with her approachability and professionalism. It crossed our mind to work with her as our exclusive buying agent then. Later, we found out several of our friends also successfully bought with Samantha in San Francisco so we decided to reach out. The process was simple, we met on a zoom call and shared what our preferences and deal breakers were. Four months later and we closed in the sunset district! We never felt pressured and Samantha kept us positive and kept us engaged as the market competitiveness can be disheartening at times.

When evaluating a property, he prioritized investigating every detail--sometimes literally digging around--to make sure it was safe and sound.

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.

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.

She guided us through the ideal mortgage and escrow process, even through inspection, and coached me in making the offer that wasn't refused. Danielle Lazier takes the needs of her clients as her own goals and addresses them with expertise and grace.

We initially connected with her through our business school alumni network and already knew of her stellar reputation, as she had successfully helped two of our friends navigate their own home puchases/ sales in the city. The current SF market is moving incredibly fast--especially with the recent AI boom--and because inventory is so tight, finding accurate comps for a unique property can be a challenge. We had done a significant amount of "homework" before reaching out, but Laura's insight was invaluable. After working with her for a week, we were impressed by her market knowledge-- the data was well-supported by nuanced judgement that confirmed our own research and gave us much-needed confidence in our valuation. Ultimately, we decided not to put our home on the market at this time, but this process gave us a glimpse into the level of professionalism and expertise Laura brings to a real transaction. We would not hesitate to recommend her to any of our friends or colleagues looking for a sharp, reliable RE advisor in San Francisco.
