After viewing numerous properties, we realized that it just didn't make economic sense for us to buy a home at that time. We took a 5-year hiatus, contacted Tim, and started right back on our search to find a home. 3 months later, we moved into our new home. We liked working with him for several reasons: 1. He's NOT pretentious. 2. He knows his S##T ! 3. He is patient and never gave us the feeling that we needed to make a quick decision. 4. He seems to know a lot about rental laws and tenant rights in SF. This is important because not knowing them can cost you tens of thousands of dollars 5. He's an excellent listener. He's able to recall intricate details of what we specify, saving time and hassle. We definitely recommend him.

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 met with us to find out our needs. With years of old furniture and household items left behind, her team cleared out the rest of the house.

After staging the house, it sold in the first weekend at a price we were more than happy with. We highly recommend Kara Okamoto for her professionalism and great customer service.

We've met several realtors through our independent open house journey, and after the first brief encounter with Erin and Andrea, we instantly knew they were the perfect fit for us. We had a very tight timeline with high expectations, and as novices in the real estate world, Erin and Andrea really educated us and advocated for us throughout the entire process. We can't describe how much we appreciated this. Erin and Andrea were so accommodating to our busy schedule, meeting with us afterwork, going to multiple house tours throughout the week, and quickly responding to any and every message we sent. They were also just a joy to be around and working with them really made us enjoy this whole process. We never felt pressured to like a listing, felt comfortable to ask any type of question, and could tell how extremely organized they were (outlined every step and expectation), They're also just really funny and personable while being professional. Looking for and buying a home can be a stressful process, and we are so happy that we put our trust in Erin and Andrea. We can't imagine working with any other realtors again.

We came in clueless about offer strategies, disclosure packages, contingencies, what even is a TIC - and they patiently explained everything, often multiple times, without ever making us feel like we should have known it already. When we lost on our first offer and felt discouraged, they reassured us that our home was out there and helped us stay focused on what we really wanted. They weren't afraid to push back when we started compromising on our must-haves or hesitating on the right opportunities. Beyond just finding us a home, they connected us with their entire network - estate planning, interior decoration, general contractors, everything we needed - and answered our anxious texts/phone calls even late in the evening. We went into this process terrified and came out as homeowners (within our price point!) with two people we now consider friends. Andrea and Erin aren't just agents trying to close a deal - they're trusted advisors who genuinely had our backs. We're excited to create roots in our new San Francisco home, and we couldn't have done it without them! Bonus is that they are both very fun, bring great snacks, and aren't afraid to stand precariously on chairs to open hard-to-reach storage spaces so that you can see what's inside ;)

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.
