We were interested in a listing at 1499 Sanchez street. The home was bizarrely listed several hundred thousand below all the estimated values online. When we inquired as to realistic pricing (since redfin claims transparency) based on similar sales in the area she was clueless, unpleasant and provided nothing to support her pricing. It became very obvious to us she intentionally listed the price extremely low just to capture buyers information. It was just a sleazy marketing tactic in the end. read more

I couldn't have asked for a more skilled, knowledgeable, and supportive realtor than Vanessa! Vanessa was recommended to me by a friend whose family also had a great experience working with her, and boy am I glad I went with their recommendation. As a first time home buyer, I needed a lot of guidance and was so grateful for her patience and time as she walked me through every stage of the home buying process. She made each phase feel manageable by explaining concepts in a clear, accessible way, and always made me feel like she was available to help me in whatever way I needed. She was incredibly responsive to my questions and very organized--the Covid situation requires a lot of coordination with the seller's agent to even schedule viewings, but she made the experience as easy as possible for me. Vanessa has a sharp understanding of the San Francisco market. She even guessed the exact amount my property was worth as later confirmed by the appraisal! Vanessa was instrumental in helping me identify pros of a property, things to consider when purchasing, and potential red flags as well, to help me make the most informed decision I could about each property. While I sought her advice often, she always made me feel like the decision was ultimately mine--her role was to provide me with the information I needed, but never pushed me one way or another or made me feel rushed to make any decisions. I feel like I cannot put into words how great of an experience I had with Vanessa. Home buying really can be an emotionally tolling experience, and Vanessa made mine as pleasant as it could be! I cannot more highly recommend her! read more

We found Vanessa here on Yelp, after reading all her wonderful reviews, I knew she was the gal for us. Fast forward a few months and I'm typing this review from my new home she helped us find. Vanessa was incredibly easy to communicate with, knowledgeable about San Francisco and its crazy market, and truly a wonderful person to help guide us through a complicated system. I would recommend Vanessa to anyone looking for a fantastic realtor! read more

Vanessa is a rockstar! She made my first time buying property feel manageable and not too overwhelming. She worked with me through a special city program, which required a lot more work on her end, and was super communicative, helpful and advocated for me when needed. In the home search process, Vanessa pointed out potential red flags that I would've otherwise missed, such as uneven flooring, sketchy insulation and estimated costs of repairs. When it came time to making an offer, Vanessa sat down with me and walked me through each element of the offer, ensuring that I understood exactly what I was signing. During negotiations, she made sure I wasn't going to get the short end of the stick. Overall, I am super pleased with my experience with Vanessa. If I decide to sell this condo, I will definitely be reaching out to her again. read more

We worked with Vanessa to both buy a new home and sell our old home. From start to finish, she did an amazing job. She walked us through the process and answered all of our questions. She had a lot of great ideas for how to stage/decorate our home to get the most competitive offers, and she took care of all the logistics so that we didn't have to. She made everything straightforward, efficient, and easy for us and it was so nice to not have to stress about the details. She was always available to us and super prompt in her responses when we had questions. I highly recommend Vanessa as a realtor! read more

My husband and I are extremely satisfied with Vanessa's work as our buying agent. She helped us purchase our first home in San Francisco! The whole process can be overwhelming, and from day one, she covered everything we should know about the SF market and the steps we needed to take to be ready to make an offer. We were very green, but she didn't make us feel dumb. She made everything easy to understand and patiently answered all of our questions (sometimes multiple times). She always made us feel comfortable and never pushed us into anything we didn't want to do. She has extensive knowledge of the SF landscape, so as we switched priorities and neighborhoods and property types (condo vs. single family home), she was quick to pivot with us and made sure we put in competitive offers despite the changes. She also had tons of great recommendations for other services we needed both before and after purchasing a home: from mortgage lenders/loan officers to flooring to locksmiths, always giving us a few options to shop around ourselves. Most importantly, she is a "no stone left unturned" kind of person. To help us find a home, she searched high and low and even recommended places that weren't listed on the MLS. When we found a property we liked, she combed through the disclosures and, of course, toured the properties herself to call out things we should know. We were never surprised at what we would be getting. Even at final signing, she sat with us and called out all of the small things we needed to do (switching over PG&E/water/garbage, rekeying the house, being mindful of mortgage and tax payment schedules, etc.). This is someone who truly cares about your long-term happiness in the property. I could go on and on. If you're looking to buy a home in SF, go with Vanessa! read more

As first time homebuyers my partner and I were very worried about buying a house. We knew absolutely nothing about the process and were worried about finding someone we could trust to guide us through the most important decision of our lives! I first met Vanessa at a medspa. We randomly started talking and I loved her within minutes. She was so uplifting and easy to talk to that we ended up talking for like 20min about ourselves very naturally and organically. She had no idea I was about to be in the market to buy a house and I had no idea she was a realtor until I asked what she did for a living. I immediately knew she was going to be our realtor although we weren't quite ready to start shopping. I took her contact info and swore I would be in touch when we were ready. Almost a year later I introduced her to my partner and she instantly felt the same way! We decided to work with Vanessa and there really are no words to describe how grateful we are. She was honest, knowledgeable, trustworthy and reliable. She is seasoned, proactive, friendly, relatable and just an all around pleasure to be around. Her personality is the perfect blend of professional and personable. It turns out she is the partner at her firm so she's very highly sought after and has a very large client base. For anyone who's nervous and unsure of who to work with, look no more!! I can promise you you've found the best realtor on the market!!' Vanessa, from the top floor of our new palace, we write this review in thanks of you truly, thank you so much!!!! read more

I am writing this glowing review for Vanessa from my family's new home. She was absolutely amazing to work with. My husband and I were first-time homebuyers who have saved our downpayment for almost 15 years in order to make our dream of owning a home in San Francisco come true. When it finally came time to start the home buying process, we were frankly terrified, uncertain about how to be competitive in San Francisco's crazy market, and super anxious to find a team that we could trust to steer us right when spending our life savings. We knew after our very first conversation with Vanessa that she was the right agent for us. Throughout the process, she took extra time with us to explain each step clearly. She helped us manage our expectations about what/where we could afford and didn't aggressively push us to spend beyond our comfort level. She worked at hours that were convenient to us between full-time jobs and taking care of our baby. Vanessa communicated with us often and was super responsive to even the smallest questions that we had. She helped lend an eye to the types of things we should be looking out for when we walked properties. Vanessa helped us put together a competitive offer on our home and we ended up having the very first offer we submitted accepted! Most importantly, in Vanessa we found an agent who we felt we could really trust who not only alleviated our anxieties about the home buying process, but even made it fun for us! I can't recommend her highly enough to all of the first-time homebuyers out there! Thank you so much, Vanessa! One additional note about the one negative review, I'm mystified by it. This does not sound like Vanessa at all; she is the friendliest, warmest person. I wonder if this reviewer has the wrong agent. read more

Vanessa helped us find the perfect home for our family. She spent the time to consult us on exactly what we were seeking; she invested many, many hours into visiting open houses with us; and she also went hunting for off-market listings that matched up with our needs. Her connections with local agents meant we always had insight into the expectations and priorities of the sellers. When the time came to put in an offer she had plenty of insight into how to craft a winning bid. Her patience and sense of humor helped keep us sane during an incredibly stressful process. Now we've closed on a beautiful home where our family can grow for years to come, and we have Vanessa to thank for it. read more

Vanessa is one of the most competent, knowledgeable and friendly realtor i've worked with. And I know realtors, because I have bought and sold 7 houses for myself (and several more for friends and family) and interacted with over 30 different realtors. She not only knows the market, but is also great at explaining the subtle nuances of complex issues such as rent control act, PUD, 1031 etc. While working with Vanessa you know you have someone on your side and also someone who knows what she is talking about. Trust me, she is the best. And I don't sat that lightly. The Best! read more

I was lucky enough to be referred to Vanessa after finding myself in the awkward situation of needing a Realtor at the last minute. Vanessa was able to meet with me right away and answered all of my questions over email which was great for my hectic schedule. When met in person, Vanessa clearly explained all of the next steps that I needed to take towards purchasing a MOH Resale BMR unit. I'm looking forward to working with her in the future as my BMR hunt continues and I highly recommend her to anyone, whether they are looking at a BMR purchase or not. read more

Vanessa is a fabulous real estate agent! She helped us buy our first home in Sausalito and we could not have been happier with the whole process. Vanessa is very detailed oriented, thorough when answering any of our questions and very quick to respond by phone, email or text message. She is also really lovely to be around and we had so much fun driving to and from the house together, for meetings and closing escrow. I would highly recommend her for all your real estate needs! I plan on sending all my friends to her in the future, so they can also have such a smooth and great experience as we had. Thanks Vanessa! read more

I twice went to an Open House in the Sunset where Vanessa Gamp was the showing agent. The second time I came with my real estate agent. We both agreed she not only didn't greet the guests coming in, she gave one of the coldest goodbyes and thank you's I've ever heard. It was like she had to force herself to say it . Ugh! I could use worse words, but instead I'll just say it was minimal professionalism. read more

Vanessa is a wonderful real estate agent. An advocate for her clients, she will go the extra mile--she even sent out personalized letters to potential sellers at a complex we were especially interested in! Her skills are top-notch and her calm, bright presence is a real plus in what can be a nerve-wracking process. read more

Wow, I can't believe Vanessa got a bad review, my dealings with her have been the exact opposite. Vanessa is like the sun, you can't help but gravitate to her and get the warm and fuzzies. I've dealt with other agents here that barley know how to get from the Haight to Bernal (or even know where they are) and are so burned out by all the ups and downs of the market you can tell they just need to make a sale. Vanessa is professional, knows her real estate, and a joy to be around. Makes the tedious and overwhelming task of touring properties fun. I really love the fact that she's young, hip, active in the community and an SF native. That's why I'd never buy/sell property here without her. read more

I don't think I even have enough positive words to say about Vanessa! Everything about her was so great and she was incredibly kind and helpful. As a long time renter in San Francisco, I was brand new to the idea of buying and had absolutely no clue where to begin. I was afraid of being made to feel dumb or uneducated about the process, but in talking with Vanessa she did not make me feel like that at all! I felt comfortable asking her questions and didn't get the sense that she judged me in any way for not knowing any of this stuff. She always responded by phone or email very quickly, within 24 hours, and answered every single question I had. If you are a first time home buyer and thinking about purchasing a below market rate unit or even a market rate unit I would definitely recommend her! I came out of the experience feeling more knowledgeable and knowing the next steps to take. When I am ready to buy I will without a doubt go back to Vanessa. You can really tell that she loves her job and helping first time buyers. read more

Vanessa is the best agent EVER. We were first time buyers and had no idea how anything worked. We were also in a panicked rush because our landlord had suddenly decided to raise our rent significantly. She explained everything clearly, every step of the way. I work odd hours and she met with us at our convenience and was always ultra prompt in responding to emails or text messages. The contact we had at the bank for our mortgage was completely unhelpful so Vanessa stepped in to find solutions for all the paperwork problems - there were multiple clerical errors in the inspection, the deed didn't list both our names, we got billed twice for the inspection... A lot of things that should have been handled by the bank. To avoid our closing being further delayed Vanessa spent hours trying to find the right individuals to correct the errors. We would have been stuck with per diem fees for delaying the closing if we had not had Vanessa looking out for us. If we are ever able to upgrade to a different home we will DEFINITELY call Vanessa. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a real estate agent. read more
