My apartment was first not move-in ready -- a blanket of saw dust from previous work was left covering all walls and surfaces, and there was also a large crack in the flooring. This was addressed within a reasonable timeframe, but thereafter, maintenance requests through their portal would go unanswered for months. Upon follow up via phone or email, there'd be a reminder to submit our request through the portal (which was done in the first place). Overall, there was a large issue with responsiveness. The management company was also not forthcoming with charges, and would send over "pass through" bills without full explanations or documentation.

When I first returned to the Bay Area, I was considering every possible option. I considered…read morerenting. I considered renting with a roommate, to stockpile money. I considered getting "faculty housing" at a discounted rate through my university. I considered purchasing my own home - possibly a short sale, possibly a foreclosure, possibly a standard sale. To say that I left no stone unturned is understating it - I'm smart, educated, computer literate, and mildly OCD. "Thorough" doesn't really scratch the surface. So when I met Jeffrey through a mutual friend I was torn - on one hand, referrals from friends are a double-edged sword. If things don't go well, you have to see them at every cocktail party for the next five years, but you WANT to believe your friend that you should give them your business not just because they're mutual friends, but because they're the best. It turns out that my faith in my friend's recommendation was well placed. Communicating with Jeffrey was easy, he listened to MY ideas rather than telling me what he wanted me to want to do. He wasn't pushy, he wasn't condescending, he wasn't trying so hard for a commission check that he lost sight of the fact that this process was ultimately about me and my needs. He was awesome. In the next two months, two of my friends decided to buy in the Bay Area. I referred them to Jeffrey, though I had never completed any transaction with him. Funnily, each of my friends, with Jeffrey's help, found what they were looking for, spent less than they intended, and are incredibly happy with the result. Each friend offered to take me out to dinner, they were so full of gratitude for the referral. I haven't "pulled the trigger" on my new place yet, as I'm really waiting for the right opportunity to come along (also deciding between settling in SoCal and NorCal), but there's no doubt that Jeffrey is my go-to guy once I make my final decision. The four friends I referred to him thus far were all just wholly satisfied with a process that can be, with the wrong person, painful and expensive.

I'm incredibly grateful for Isaac's expertise, guidance, and support in selling our SF single…read morefamily home. Wigley Realty earned my loyalty after their team delivered an amazing buying experience back in 2019 for this same home my wife and I have loved for the past 5 years. I can truly say working with Isaac has changed our lives in a very positive way. The selling process was equally as impressive thanks to the detailed strategy, exceptional communication, and expertise Isaac brought to the discussion. I was impressed by the depth of research and local knowledge that informed recommendations he made throughout the process. His approach differed from how I assumed we would bring the house to market and thankfully I followed his guidance as the results of the process exceeded my initial assumptions. The traffic to our property in a very short amount of time confirmed how effective Isaac's strategy was in reality. As a result, we accepted an ideal offer well within the timeframe he had outlined. Wigley Realty's premium value to the process was far more than I can detail in a quick review. It included connections to top notch staging experts, affordable/quality work force to maximize our selling opportunity, photography/drone experts, and much more. Despite moving to the South Bay, I'll only turn to Isaac and Wigley Realty for my future real estate needs as long as they will have me and the continued friends I send their way!

We highly recommend Isaac when selling a home in San Francisco. Isaac recently represented us on…read morethe sale of our condo in Duboce Triangle. The process could not have gone more smoothly nor yielded a better result.  Isaac was very responsive throughout the process, always keeping us updated on everything going on. It was truly an easy and enjoyable experience Isaac executed on a plan in arranging fantastic staging, coordinating beautiful photography, and creating brochures and a website that strongly marketed our property. Isaac intimately knows San Francisco and its neighborhoods, and this shined through when he was promoting our condo both online and in-person to perspective buyers. Isaac's strategy and timing in the sale our property was also on point. His experience led him to recommend an ideal list price that attracted a high volume of foot traffic while also ensuring that the deserved value of the property was reflected in the incoming offers. The unit was listed active immediately after Labor Day weekend which proved to be perfect timing. We were early to market as things picked up for the fall following the holiday weekend and the property received significant interest as a result.  An offer date was set after three impeccably presented and very well attended open house showings and we were pleased to receive multiple enthusiastic  offers. The final result was an accepted offer that well exceeded our expectations and a new owner of our condo who loves the building and the neighborhood.

Tim Proschold has far exceeded our expectations. If you take one thing away from this Review, I…read morehope it will be to set your own expectations high for your realtor. This applies to both skill set and ethics. First, beyond 20 years of experience, Tim brings an additional set of highly relevant skills. His Civil Engineering background helps identify problems immediately, even prior to and including Disclosures, from which he can provide early estimates for repairs or upgrades, saving time and sharpening decisions. Tim's many years as a manager of other Realtors lead to insights into their skills and strategies and so helps to ensure an Offer is accurately positioned and its submission strategically timed. As a Licensed Mortgage Broker, Tim has also been able to conveniently provide loan packages and secure Interest Rates well below what we see commonly advertised. Along this line Tim also ethically recommends that we check his prices against other Lenders, not profitable to himself, to ensure we're getting the absolute best rate possible. Tim's response to our home interests, sometimes inexplicable even to ourselves, is always respectful and acting immediately or on the same day on our behalf. And yet, again ethically, he reminds us how longer-term seasonal shifts in inventory and related pricing can favor our waiting. Tim has been vastly informative, helpful, good-humored, generous, and has never suggested we go over our budget. We will never underestimate his value. Tim did not request this Review.

He's a straight shooter, thorough, and a man of integrity. Tim gracefully guided us through the clean-out, prep, repairs, inspection reports, mounds of paperwork, and made selling an effortless process. In addition, Tim was always a complete pleasure to work with. Can't say enough great things about him and would highly recommend Tim to anyone needing a realtor. None of my siblings or I will hesitate to hire him again when we're ready to sell our homes in the future.

My experience with the management company has been horrid.

These folks are slumlords. Run if you find out that they own a property that you are considering renting at.

Joe and Rafael offer a high-touch, human approach to buying and selling in San Francisco. I'm…read morelooking back 3 months after we worked with Joe and Rafael for a buy and a sell in San Francisco. For the sale, I grew to trust them so much that I actually handed them the keys, left the country on vacation, and then returned to a selling price that was much higher than the $/sqft price for the neighborhood and exceeded the market expectations significantly. So If you're on the fence with them, hire them and don't look back. Here's what you can expect: 1. A trusted advisor. 2. Deep understanding of the market and negotiation process. 3. Classy staging that will attract offers at the top of the market. 1. They take their role as a trusted advisor very seriously. Unlike most agents, they do not try to pitch you on a rose-tinted view. All agents we interviewed pitched us using their current properties as examples and when I look back on the properties they were selling, they did not meet their price expectations. In contrast, Joe and Rafael gave us realistic top and bottom ranges. And then they over delivered. 2. Their understanding of the negotiation process and their relationships are unusually well honed. At every point in the process, their gut proved to be right, and their explanation of 'why' made sense. Other agents either weren't really able to explain why one place went over our estimates and others didn't. After every stage and offer, Joe and Rafael were always open to sharing why something worked or didn't work. 3. Their staging and design aesthetic is spot on. Not surprisingly we were wowed by the look of our place after it was staged. I had some questions about some of their choices, but looking back, they were absolutely right. Joe has great stagers, but he made significant edits to the staging before it met his standards, and it drew in great offers. Finally, don't let their short list of reviews discourage you. They don't accept many clients and that shows in their human touch and excellent results. I'm really glad we found them and I'll work with them again any day. I've attached a before and after picture of our yard just to give you a sense of what they did.

We worked with Rafael and Joe in 2021 to purchase our single family home…read more What distinguishes Rafael and Joe from other agents is the exceptional service they deliver to their clients. During our several months of searching, they went above and beyond for us in many ways and exceeded our high expectations. For two properties that we were seriously interested in, before writing an offer, we asked Rafael and Joe to schedule additional visits (one with a plumber and another with a contractor). They were able to set up these visits within 24-48 hours. Their timely execution made it possible for us to gather the information we needed to make a go/no-go decision on writing an offer. Rafael worked with us in a thoughtful and strategic manner when we were ready to write our offer. We ended up in a nerve-wracking multiple counter offer situation and he encouraged us to remain calm and take a little time to reflect. Once we decided to proceed, he gave us valuable guidance on resubmitting our offer, which was accepted! Rafael and Joe have cultivated relationships with many agents, which is helpful during the offer and negotiation process. Also, Joe introduced us to one of the best (most knowledgeable and responsive) lenders I've come across in the business. Overall, we had an extraordinary experience working with Rafael and Joe and we enthusiastically recommend them!

That seller was represented by Patrick. We had potential buyers come to our house and tell us that Patrick had been telling them that our house was too dark and overpriced.

We used Patrick as our Realtor when we bought our home in 2001 and when we wanted to sell it we gave him a call again. He helped us sell in this rough market. He stuck with us and never wavered in his service. He is always professional but so like-able and a thorough gentleman....old school. He put a lot of time and effort into creating interesting and innovative methods in marketing our house. Our brochures outside never ran out as they were always replenished on time. He was always willing to have open houses and if he was unable to make the open house he ensured that one of his wonderful associates was there to host our open house. He helped us through the sale process and we would recommend him and his company to anyone trying to buy or sell a home in the area. When we decide to buy again we would not consider hiring anyone but Patrick.
