Liz is truly one of a kind! As first-time homebuyers, my…read morehusband and I could not have asked for a better guide and partner on our journey to finding our first home in Redwood City. From day one, Liz went above and beyond--not only as a realtor but as a trusted friend and confidant who made the process feel exciting, personal, and stress-free. Here's what stood out to us about working with Liz: * Deep understanding of our needs: She took the time to get to know us, our lifestyle, our priorities, and even the little details that mattered most. Every home she showed us felt like a thoughtful match. * Above-and-beyond support: We didn't have a car during our search, and Liz never hesitated to pick us up and personally take us to every open house. That gesture alone speaks volumes about her kindness and dedication. * Expert knowledge and emotional presence: Her insights about neighborhoods, disclosures, and the entire buying process were spot on. She made everything easy to understand and always ensured we felt confident with each decision. * Patience and responsiveness: No matter how many questions we asked (and there were plenty!), Liz was always patient, quick to respond, and genuinely happy to help. * A true partner through and through: Even after closing, she stayed in touch, guiding us toward trusted local professionals for contractor and home improvement needs. Liz made what could have been an overwhelming process feel warm, smooth, and even joyful. We started this journey looking for a house, but thanks to Liz, we found a home and a lifelong friend. Thank you, Liz, and the entire Veritas team, for making our dream of homeownership a reality! If you're buying a home in the Bay Area, go with Liz- there truly is no better option. P.S. If you'd like to hear more about our experience, Liz is welcome to share my contact info. I'd be happy to chat and personally share why we think she's amazing.

As first-time home buyers, we had a lot of questions and she guided us through the entire process with calm and ease. We felt completely comfortable and trusted Liz's judgment throughout the process.

Not only did Liz support our home buying process but she has also served as a trusted sounding board for our home renovations and has recommended a number of local experts including our general contractor and our pediatrician. Thank you Liz and the entire Veritas team for helping make our dream of home ownership possible!

I encountered Alicia at an open house where she was the listing agent. From a buyers perspective, I…read morecan say that she would not be the ideal agent to support a seller. She did not greet us when we entered the home, did not provide any insights into the property, was rude when presented with questions, and overall did not seem like a professional there to do her job. She was so off-putting that she made it easy for us to step away from considering this house that we were initially quite interested in.

She's going to have your place on the market longer than it needs to be. We were excited about a…read moreproperty she was showing, were the first people there, and we more than meet the critera for ideal renters. We asked for an application which she said she'd send that day. I asked again for an application when she sent a zillow message informing me of another showing (I had already seen the place and wanted an application). It's been over a week with no contact/application. The place is still on the market. We already found a place, but just warning anyone who wants to get their place rented/sold quickly--she's not helpful.

I can't say enough great things about Denise. She's a very kind person who genuinely cares and took…read morethe time to fully understand my needs. Although this was not my first time selling a house, this was my first time by myself since I lost my husband. Denise went above and beyond by walking me through every step of the process, made sure I was aware of every detail and truly made this easy and painless for me. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her and couldn't image going through this without her. Denise's expertise runs deep and her network runs wide. Her, along with her team of contractors and designers helped me to sell my house in an efficient and timely manner. Not to mention, we stayed on schedule and on budget. She is savvy about real estate and she listens to her clients because she truly cares. She is passionate about what she does and it shows because she is good at what she does. Thank you, Denise! I can't wait to work with her again.

Buying a house in the peninsula isn't easy... with crazy prices, fast turnaround times and…read moreconstantly changing inventory, it's so hard to keep up with all the chaos while staying motivated. We were also very picky about picking a realtor, and interviewed many people in the area to find someone with the right experience and personality. We were referred to Denise by a family friend and wow- she made this whole process seamless. We went from almost giving up on getting everything we wanted - a nice neighborhood, 3+ rooms, not break the bank, good schools... but we were able to get that and MORE all within our budget! We were able to close on the VERY FIRST offer we put in within 30 days of our first conversation with her. One of the BEST things about working with this team (outside of their amazing work ethic), is the connections they have. From off market showings to having a direct line to a rolodex of contractors, we felt so lucky to have access to everyone we needed - from electricians to architects to sellers agents. Everyone has been great to work with, and she's constantly been in touch with us even after closing on the home. Denise said to us "I do this because I love doing it" multiple times during this process. It really does make a difference to have an agent that loves what they do. She was made for this industry and I can't say enough good things about her. And I'm always for more girl power!! Stop your search for an agent right now, and give the Laugesen team a call ASAP!

Mary Ann is amazing! She helped my husband and I buy our first home together in SF late 2013. As…read moreeveryone knows, purchasing a house is a daunting task, and Mary Ann guided us through the process from beginning to end. Mary Ann impressed us on multiple fronts: 1) She took the time to understand our wants and needs, not only in terms of the property itself, but also in terms of our lifestyle and schedules. 2) She worked fast and efficiently, immediately sending us and checking out new listings as they came on market- very important in a hot sellers' market! 3) She was incredibly knowledgeable about the neighborhoods, going above and beyond by scouting the neighborhoods in the evenings (if we were concerned) and chatting with other residents for the inside scoop. 4) She was responsive and patient. She never pressured us to act when we were unsure and did not push us to increase our budget, even when my husband and I were considering it ourselves. In short, it was a joy to work with Mary Ann! She has a great, positive attitude and is extremely knowledgeable, resourceful, and well-connected.

We very highly recommend Jessica Branson and her team to anyone that is looking for a realtor to…read morehelp them sell a home in San Francisco. We are three siblings that sold our dad's home of many years at the border of Cole Valley/Ashbury Heights. We interviewed multiple realtors and initially chose Jessica because she was very straightforward and down-to-earth, and seemed totally familiar with the San Francisco real estate market. On her first walk-through of the house, she clearly saw what needed to be done, but didn't try to sell us on investing a large amount of money in upgrades that we would be unlikely to recoup. She also had clear ideas of how to show off the best features of the home and provide potential buyers with a vision of the home's incredible potential. Jessica's team proved to be incredibly well-organized and efficient. She communicated very clearly what needed to be done, what we needed to do, and what the timelines and next steps would be. She always asked if there were decisions to be made, and laid out pros and cons (e.g. should we replace the carpet?) so that making decisions was easy. Her team kept commitments on timing in all aspects of the preparation for sale. They organized and coordinated with reliable contractors to perform all the necessary repairs and the suggested upgrades including painting, landscaping, carpet replacement and minor repairs. When we were actually ready to put the house on the market, Jessica provided a very thorough analysis of recent sales and the rationale for her sales strategy. That strategy yielded multiple offers, including several that far exceeded our expectations. Jessica made the disclosures, inspections, response to offers, and closing processes all seem straightforward, and she was always one step ahead of what needed to happen to ensure a rapid and seamless closing. If you want to sell a home In San Francisco, you can feel confident that you will be in very good hands with Jessica Branson.

We purchased our first home in SF with Jessica in 2017 and recently sold our home with her in 2 days of being on the market. She's honestly the best agent we've ever had the pleasure of working with and we compare everyone to her. We love her style and meticulous schedule. She'll also give you her two cents on the property as if she was going to purchase it as her own, which has been extremely helpful. Sure, there's plenty of agents out there but you'll thank me later when you have Jessica represent you on any real estate transaction. She's the real deal! I highly highly recommend Jessica and you won't be disappointed.

Lisa is an absolute rockstar! My husband and I relied on her considerable expertise, which she has…read moreloads of. What we especially love about her is her style: down to earth, approachable, friendly likable and warm. She is exceptional in the real estate world, where we'd had bad experiences with unscrupulous, greedy, agents. Lisa is trustworthy--what she says and how she comes through--I'd take to the bank. Literally and figuratively. Trustworthy: this is a hard to come by essential quality in business anywhere but in real estate it's oddly elusive. She was referred to us by Mark Kaprilien, who had helped us decades ago ... I was beyond delighted when I got back in touch with him. He'd enlisted Lisa to come help us out and together, they make a helluva team. We ran into a bunch of administrative, logistical bureaucratic issues ... and I had a bit of a tantrum--not my finest moment. But Lisa simply takes everything in stride. All the mumbo jumbo of real estate legalese, she breaks down in clear simple terms, which even I understand (sort of, Lol). I can't imagine doing business with anyone other than Lisa--she's a treasure.

Lisa Karson is our real-estate angel. At our first meeting she was professional and competent but…read morealso very warm and friendly. Lisa has excellent communication skills and really put us at ease. She actually listened to us and respected our requests such as keeping the security system set when the house was vacant and having a lock box that was only accessible through Lisa. We really felt safe in her capable hands. She gave us excellent guidance with her vast knowledge and experience in both buying and selling a home, always keeping our best interest in mind. Being a top seller in her field, Lisa demonstrated that she was knowledgeable about the area where our house was located and house values in the local housing market. In her pricing strategy she not only considered the square footage, but also the condition of the property and the land value associated with the property. She explained the entire process of selling a house to us and made sure we understood everything including going over the paperwork with us in detail. Lisa laid out a plan to sell our house that included a marketing strategy to post our listing on all major home search sites, marketing flyers, and professional drone photography of our property. She coordinated a team of specialists to perform a home inspection and a pest inspection so we would be informed of any potential problems and be prepared for any work that needed to be done before the listing. She helped us with staging the property to have it sell at the highest value possible. Lisa enthusiastically worked with us to use some of our own furniture to keep staging costs down. She even assisted us with removing a large marble slab to take pressure off of our "to do" list. Lisa held a virtual open house online walking through the house on a live video meeting where perspective clients could ask questions. She coordinated everything from start to finish and kept us informed every step of the way, and was surprisingly prompt at getting back to us almost immediately every time we had questions. After just 4 days on the market, a good offer came in. Lisa helped us through the paperwork and escrow process and connected us with Jose G. Flores who is the AVP/Branch Manager of Fidelity National Title. Jose explained each page that we were signing and Lisa even took time on her birthday to show up at the title company to congratulate us when we were done signing. Lisa was very understanding of my mixed feelings in letting go of my childhood home. She comforted and assured me by letting me know that a wonderful family was purchasing our house to make new happy memories there. From our first meeting Lisa told us what she would do for us and followed through with every action she promised. Lisa has integrity. She took great care of us, and the whole experience of working with her was amazing. I have already recommended Lisa Karson to friends and associates who are interested in buying or selling a home.

We've bought a couple of homes over the years, and I must say that dealing with Mary Arnerich made…read morethe process much more manageable (and possibly even fun). What is normally a very draining process is balanced out by her contagious energy. She was very understanding and attentive to our needs. No matter how many times you go through this process, you'll always end up with a few challenges where questions may arise, and Mary made sure to get answers for all of them. In our unique case, we had a very tight timeline as we wanted to close on a location very shortly before we went on vacation, and Mary made what normally scared off most other Realtors to be possible. If you want someone to walk you through the whole process and will make sure all your needs are met, look no further.
