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.

Samantha helped me through every step of the process of selling my home and purchasing a new one…read more Thanks to her expertise and strategy, my house sold for $170K over the asking price in less than a week after listing. She also helped create professional marketing videos and promoted the property on social media, which brought in great exposure and strong offers. On top of that, her team was incredible , they helped refresh and prepare my house within just a few weeks before listing, making it look its best for buyers. I truly feel blessed to have had Samantha as my agent. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell or buy a home. Her professionalism, dedication, and amazing team made the entire experience smooth and successful.

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.

Kevin goes above and beyond as a realtor. During the home search process, he toured potential…read moreproperties and recorded videos highlighting all the relevant details, giving me a thorough preview of each home. When evaluating a property, he prioritized investigating every detail--sometimes literally digging around--to make sure it was safe and sound. He took the time to understand my priorities and helped me purchase a property I'm truly excited about. 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. When I shared everything Kevin was helping me with, friends were surprised. They said their realtors were no longer involved after the sale. Kevin clearly loves the process of matching homes with buyers. I'm grateful for his help and support.

After relocating to Washington, we worked with Kevin and his team to sell our condo in NoPa -- and…read morewe couldn't be more grateful. We were introduced to him through a close friend who had worked with him before, and I can see why they recommended Kevin's team. Kevin is highly organized, ambitious, and one of the hardest-working people we've ever met. From the start, he came to us with a clear vision: make thoughtful improvements to maximize appeal to buyers. He handled the entire process seamlessly, managing every detail and going above and beyond to keep expectations aligned every step of the way. If you're buying or selling in San Francisco, we'd recommend Kevin without hesitation. He truly puts his heart into his work.

Lauren was so helpful in helping us purchase a home for the first time! As first time buyers, the…read moreprocess was daunting and completely foreign to us, but Lauren explained everything with clarity and patience, and provided us with all the tools and resources we needed to be successful. 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. When it came time to submit an offer, she was so engaged and active in the negotiation and helped us get into contract on the first offer!

I can't recommend Valerie highly enough if you're navigating the San Francisco market - which, if…read moreyou've tried, you know is not for the faint of heart. She is exactly who you need in a market this competitive. Her knowledge of the area is exceptional. She doesn't just know listings, she knows neighborhoods, buildings, and pricing trends in a way that lets you move fast and with confidence. That mattered enormously - I saw a flat at 10am and was in contract by 3pm the same day, because she understood immediately that it was the right fit and helped me act on it without hesitation. Before I even started looking, Valerie took the time to really understand what I was looking for and what would actually work within my budget, so we weren't wasting time on places that didn't make sense. That upfront investment made everything after it so much smoother. And when it came time to negotiate, she was excellent, sharp, strategic, and clearly experienced at getting favorable outcomes in a market where every moment counts. What stood out most, though, was how much she genuinely cares. This isn't just a transaction for her, Valerie is invested in doing right by her clients. If you're buying in SF, she's the agent you want in your corner.

Heather and Florence were delightful to work with. Heather was referred to me by a friend when I…read moreembarked on my search for a first home. 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. Both Heather and Flo are warm, experienced professionals who willingly walked me through the stressful process, celebrated the purchase with me, and continued answering questions after the deal was done. Highly recommend.

My husband and I had no idea if buying in SF was a possibility for us. When I mentioned to my…read morefriend that we were thinking about looking she immediately said, "You have to use my agent, she's the best." Now, 5 months, 3 offers, and one successfully bought home later we can confidently say Amanda IS the best and made all the difference for us. She was a confident calm through the storm of Bay Area real estate (SF for us). I never felt that she was angling for a sale or had anything other than our best interests in mind. She was extremely accommodating and respectful of time, somehow always available even when I know she was busy. At home tours she was inspecting things harder than we were and knew a million things to look out for that we never would have thought of. She is Proactive with a capital 'P'. Calling agents, getting in touch with home inspectors, reaching out to her (plentiful) network of specialists and contractors who always got back to her. In a hot market (which we definitely are in now) time is of the essence and she prepared us with everything we needed to be ready to put an offer in fast. She is realistic and helped us know what to expect when list prices are frustratingly so much lower than what a home will actually go for (which can be heartbreaking!). At the same time, she was willing to fight for us and helped us craft the strongest offer possible, even when it didn't have the best chances. Our offers were done so well that even if we weren't able to be the highest, selling agents always got back to us and kept us in the running for as long as we could be (and eventually we got one!). After we got a home Amanda didn't disappear, she has been instrumental in guiding us through new home ownership and finding the right people to help us with the work we wanted to do. Most importantly, on top of all of this, Amanda was really a pleasure to work with. She's funny, insightful and brings the perfect balance of kindness and honesty. I couldn't recommend her more!

Dear Amanda, I…read moreappreciate all the time, effort, skill, and just plain work you put into this sale. I could not and would not have done it without your help. Your persistence and expertise made it an interesting project rather than a nightmare, which I am sure it would have been without your help. When I wanted to scream "HELP!" and did so, you always picked up the problem and made it comprehensible. Your diligence kept my confidence going. And now I can relax as soon as this probate case is over. Sincerely, Pam Gill

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.
