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.

We recently worked with Laura to pull market comparables for our home in San Francisco, and the…read moreexperience was exceptional. 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.

She stayed within my budget, too. My house sold quickly and for a price I was very pleased with. As far as buying a property, I wanted find a 2 Bd/2 Ba condo in SF, or barring that, a very roomy 1 Bd/Ba. Laura found a centrally-located 2/2 that is within my budget and that I am thrilled about. Laura is highly accessible and an excellent communicator. She has stayed in touch after the sale to ensure everything is all right. All together, an amazing Realtor!

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.

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. What was really helpful was how well Lauren understood the market and her help with valuing listings.

Laura and her team were incredible to work with as a first time homebuyer, and I can't think of…read moreanybody else that comes close to their level of expertise and professionalism. I was referred to them via a professional connection who trusted her with many deals in the past, and I can say it was also a 10/10 in my case. As you may know, the SF Bay Area is a competitive market, and it's quite a grind to gather all the paperwork, assemble an offer, let alone have it be accepted and go through a seamless close. It's a stressful situation for most including myself, but Laura and her team was on top of things throughout the process. Where do I start? Well, I can sit here and type for days raving about my experience, but I'll cut to the chase: Laura, Lexie, Ty etc. were incredibly friendly and personable, they responded to questions (texts, calls, emails, whatever!) pretty quickly and in great detail. That alone establishes trust, especially for such a high value and emotional purchase - your home. Laura never pushed or persuaded me on any listings we toured. In fact, she came in with a fresh perspective on "risk"s and things to watch out for as a buyer (the condition of the floors, the floorplans / layout, the neighbors / neighborhood in general, modifications allowed, permit history etc.) which I greatly appreciate given I had no prior experience and doing this the first time. Once we settled on places we'd like to place an offer for, she and her team pounced on getting all the docs lined up in time - pulling permit histories etc. to make sure there aren't any unexpected snags. She and her team were extremely communicative throughout the process, navigating counteroffers and just hustling it out. I just felt they really went above and beyond here. Once we were in contract, Laura, Lexie and Ty coordinated all remaining work (secondary inspections, loose fixtures, clogged sinks, deep clean prior to move in, extra paint / garbage removal etc.) to make my move-in significantly more seamless and stress-free. Some of these were done by the seller / seller's agent, in which she handled all communication promptly to have them addressed before the closing date. Others we did a day or two after close, but the appointments were so well managed ahead of time. Also, some folks who came by the place to do the work only had nice things to say about her and her team. Honestly I can't imagine anybody else doing it this well as Laura's!

This was a huge challenge with a single income in the expensive Bay Area -- and my admittedly unrealistic high standards. Heather met with me, listened to my hopes and dreams, and patiently stuck with me for about 3 years while I figured out how to make it work. She helped educate me about the entire home-buying process. When Heather moved a bit farther away, she brought in Florence to help with showings. The two of them were a great team, partnering with me through two offers and the purchase of my condo. Florence is a sweetheart. She's also great at getting information.
