“We couldn't be happier with the experience of working with the Krishnan Team! Lauren helped us find and secure the apartment of our dreams, and we're so grateful for her expertise and dedication throughout the entire process.

When we started our search, we had no idea about the San Francisco real estate market. Lauren took the time to teach us about the market dynamics, neighborhood differences, and what to expect. She made us feel like we weren't searching in darkness but rather making decisions based on real knowledge we could trust. Her insights were invaluable and gave us the confidence we needed to navigate this competitive landscape.

From our very first meeting, she took the time to truly understand our needs and what we were looking for. When it came to negotiations, Lauren was outstanding. She was extremely diligent, ensuring no detail was overlooked, and her efficiency was remarkable. She moved quickly when it mattered most, which made all the difference in this competitive market. Thanks to her skill and responsiveness, we were able to secure our dream apartment.

We highly recommend the Krishnan team and Lauren to anyone looking for a real estate agent who is not only knowledgeable and professional, but also genuinely invested in finding the perfect home for their clients.”

“Working with Andrew Ulmer to find a home for our family was a remarkably refreshing and gratifying experience. Early in his representation, he met us at various open houses, walking behind us, asking to hear our stream of consciousness and back and forth banter, as he took copious notes. He really wanted to understand what we were looking for, what we valued, and what sort of tradeoffs were ok. With that in mind, each subsequent house visit, resulted in a more focused approach where Andrew could call out what the property offered vis a vis what he had learned about us. He was honest, forth coming and helped temper emotions and steer us towards reality.

Once we found the gem, Andrew worked quickly to discern as much information about the property as possible, communicating back to us the accuracy of the situation. He met us for return visits, kept in constant contact, all while maintaining calm and a sense of humor.

Due to travel schedules, our decision time was quite compressed. When offers were due, he prepared very quickly. Even with very few comps available, he did an analysis, of what required some creative what if’s, asking us good questions along the way. Additionally, he utilized his people skills to get as much info as possible, in order to give us the best chance. In the end, we presented a strong offer that we felt really good about.

Andrew is a good listener (really, not very many people are), open to learning, has a really nice communication style, and is keen to build relationships and understand his clients. He was a true joy to work with.”

“We just closed on our second property with Josh and team, and we couldn't be happier! This was our first dip into commercial real estate, and there was a lot to learn, but Josh handled the extra complexity like a pro. We love how straightforward and practical he is—no fluff, all clarity and expertise. He stayed ahead of every detail and was always quick to respond. His approach kept us confident and ensured a seamless process from start to finish. Highly recommend working with Josh from Danielle Lazier's office at Vivre Real Estate.”

“We had the absolute pleasure of working with Calvin Kam to buy our first home, and we couldn’t be more grateful for his support throughout the entire process. We were referred to Calvin by a good friend and we'll be referring Calvin to anyone we know in the Bay Area looking to buy or sell a home.

From day one, Calvin was incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, punctual and patient—taking the time to walk us through every step and making sure we felt informed and confident in our decisions. He never pushed us too hard to make a decision we didn't feel comfortable with and was attentive about educating us as first time home buyers, from understanding the contract to potential issues with homes we looked at to comps. Most of all, Calvin was verrrry patient. We worked with him over the course of a few years and he never once expressed frustration or annoyance with our drawn-out housing search. He understood we were looking for the right home for our family, and quite frankly, if he had been pushy or overbearing at any point, we would have found another agent.

Thanks to Calvin, we found a really amazing place to call home. If you’re looking for a real estate agent who is smart, dedicated, and truly exceptional at what he does, we can’t recommend Calvin Kam highly enough.”

“Working with Karen is great. From the beginning to end, she continues to work with us through finding homes, price range, and the closing process. She is very patient and responsive. As we are first time homebuyers, there was a lot of complex terminology but she explained thoroughly for us to understand. Her schedule flexibility and communication for discussions is very helpful as our availability is limited at late evening hours. Throughout the process, she follows up in a timely manner, alerting us of updates, important information to remember, and tasks to complete. The process went smoothly, and we were able to purchase the home we wanted. Her being very active in communication saved us a lot. Thank you! I highly recommended her :)”

“Structure Properties management took over an apartment building that I’ve been living in for over a year now, and I have to say— this apartment management company is hands down the best I’ve ever dealt with! What really sets them apart is their amazing responsiveness. Any maintenance request I’ve submitted (and there haven’t been many because everything is so well-maintained) gets handled lightning-fast—usually within 24 hours. The staff is friendly, approachable, and always goes the extra mile to make sure residents feel at home. They have great security team that works on site 24/7. The properties themselves are clean, modern, and equipped with great amenities. Rent is fair for the value. If you’re looking for a good management company, this is it. Absolutely amazing—5/5 recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“I have nothing but good things to say. I have been with them almost from the start and their service just keeps getting better. My agent advocate ******** is the best. She always has my best interest at heart and is just such a genuine person. I couldn't ask for a better partner in this journey we call real estate.”

“It’s been such a privilege to work with Colleen and her clients, and to refer our clients to her as well. She and her assistant Zoe are friendly, professional, and always exceed expectations. They truly look out for what’s best for their clients. They are always seeking to guide their clients in a way that achieves their goals – to be in the home of their dreams. Looking forward to continuing to work with Colleen & Zoe!”

“Katrena Prior was an exceptional real estate agent for my fiancé and I! As young first time homebuyers, Katrena walked us through every step of the way and was very knowledgeable about the entire process and the local area. She kept in constant communication with us and was very professional and friendly. She helped us find our dream home and we couldn't be happier with our experience with Katrena and Maddox Real Estate/RealtyONE Group.”

“I was very happy with my experience with the Leah Tounger Realty Group. The communication and promptness was excellent. I felt confident and safe through the whole process.”

“Amy is the BEST! We worked with her for 7 months and finally found the right house for us. We never felt rushed to buy a house. She was so patient with us and hardworking. She gave us a lot of info we needed since we were 1st time homebuyers. I highly recommend Amy. You're in good hands with her.”

“It has been one of my best experiences working with Kim Cleghorn on a real estate transaction. She is very patient and pleasant to work with. She is a true problem solver. The transaction we worked on together was unique in nature perhaps one of the toughest ones but it was her unique abilities that we made it happen. I would absolutely love to do business with her again and again.”

“Ellie was awesome to work with during my home purchase. She was strong advocate throughout the entire process. I’m really grateful for her support and wouldn’t have wanted to go through this process without her!”

“Jen is the absolute best! From the very beginning, she took the time to educate us on the entire home buying process, ensuring we understood every step. Over the course of three years, she worked with us on countless houses, demonstrating incredible patience and dedication. Jen never pushed us into making a decision unless she felt it was truly right for us, and she consistently steered us away from potential bad decisions. Her expertise, guidance, and unwavering support made the entire experience much less stressful. I can't recommend her enough!”

“As a first-time homebuyer, I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and that’s all because of Peyman. Honestly, it’s hard to put into words just how incredible she is. From day one, she made me feel supported, never rushed, and always listened to what I needed, even when I wasn’t sure myself.

She encouraged me to explore different homes just to help narrow down what mattered most to me, and that process ended up being more valuable than I expected. When the right home came along, I knew because she had helped me get so clear on what I wanted.

Peyman is not just knowledgeable, she’s trustworthy, calm, and always had my best interests at heart. Even when I panicked and considered overbidding, she kept me grounded with honest advice. She saw things I would’ve never thought to notice and made the entire process feel manageable.

I trust her completely and can’t recommend her enough. She’s beyond exceptional.”

“We were so fortunate to have Soraya as our realtor. Not only is she an expert in the market, helping us achieve above asking-price offers on our house, she has an approachable and sincere demeanor. She is detail-oriented and really cares about you and the successful sale of the house. She guided us in the preparation of the house prior to the sale and she was 100% right in every aspect. When she introduced herself for the first time, we knew she was the right fit and we hired her on the spot. It was the easiest and best decision we made when selling our home.”

“Mischa recently helped me purchase my first home and I could not have went with a better realtor. Mischa was kind and patient with me as we navigated our way through this crazy market. Because of her upbeat personality she made it easy to form a positive working relationship, which made me feel comfortable asking the "crazy" questions and not feel like I am being judged. Even with this constantly changing market and my price point dropping she still made me feel as if I was one of her million dollar clients and always encouraged me to keep going.Mischa is very informative and knowledgeable not only when it comes to viewing properties but about the life itself. She can tell you everything about a property from the birds sitting in the tree in the backyard, to the lizard crawling across the front porch and everything in between (smile).I am glad to have walked my home buying journey with Mischa by my side leading the way from start to finish. Not only was this a journey for me but Mischa helped to make it a memorable experience to remember with a lifelong connection. I will definitely refer Mischa to family and friends when they are ready embark on their home buying journeys.Nazirah Cooks1st time homebuyer”

“Working with Scott and Alex was a great experience. Our situation was a bit particular because it was the first time selling a house, and we live abroad. Both Scott and Alex were very diligent in walking us through the process, communicating frequently to helping us stay ahead so that we didn't have to scramble. We asked tons of questions and they were frank and straight forward, and very patient with us. We would highly recommend them.”

“We were lucky to be put in touch with Michelle Syracuse from The Right Move Group to assist in locating us a home for our move to San Francisco.
Michelle provided an outstanding service - I was so impressed at her ability to make us feel comfortable, listened to and understood from the second we met her. It felt almost like a friend was advising us.
Michelle followed up and at the end of it all, she helped us to locate our dream apartment.
Thanks Michelle and The Right Move Group!
Josh and Mark”

“We relocated from the East Coast and our relo company put us in touch with Dan 2 years ago and Dan has been a great partner in working at our pace and viewing quite a few properties in the Mission Bay and Potrero Hills areas of San Francisco.

The time helped with finding the right condo ultimately - and Dan worked closely with all 3rd parties and helped close it!

Dan is your buying agent if you are looking for someone easy to work with, very prompt with setting up the viewings, NDs and giving his opinion without being pushy. Thank you Dan!”

“Kyle went above and beyond to help us sell our home in this tough property market. He helped us a few years ago in buying our first property and we couldn’t be happier with his professional help, so we looked forward to working with him again.

He’s knowledgeable and easy to work with. He was quick to respond to any inquiry and have always kept us in the loop on any progress, whether be big or small. He kept us positive in this stressful situation of moving overseas whilst selling our property and handled a lot of the logistics. He’s professional and we highly recommend him to help you sell or buy your next property! Thanks again for everything Kyle!”

“Rick couldn’t be a better caring detailed realtor. He held my hand thru out the experience. He was always there Very knowledgeable on realty law I would always absolutely use & recommend him ( he’s done 3 difficult buy/sell transactions in 2023 &they have gone beautifully) he’s the Best!!!”

“When I first started looking for a new home six months ago, I dealt with five or so different realtors from a variety of different companies, all of whom I found pushy (most were super arrogant too). On a number of occasions I was acutely aware that they were more interested in their commission than in what my needs were. So I happily ditched all of them after meeting with Jason Hoffman of McGuire Real Estate's Noe Valley office. He's personable, trustworthy, ridiculously helpful, extraordinarily thorough with paperwork (he has a legal background so you know he's not missing any small print), gives consistently solid advice and never once lost his cool in the midst of me freaking out about something (which happened more than once...). He's polite and professional at all times, but will fight your corner very effectively when action needs taking. I couldn't have asked for a better realtor.”

“My husband and I recently worked with Kris to purchase our condo loft in San Francisco, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience with Kris! We can't recommend her highly enough!

From the moment we began our search Kris was an invaluable resource. Her deep knowledge of the market and keen insights into the unique features of each property made the process not only smooth but enjoyable for both of us.

Kris took the time to understand our needs and preferences, guiding us to the perfect condo that checked all our boxes. She was always available to answer our questions, provide updates, and offer expert advice, ensuring we felt confident every step of the way.

What truly stood out was Kris's dedication to us as clients. She went above and beyond, negotiating effectively on our behalf and making sure we got the best deal possible. Her professionalism and enthusiasm made the home-buying experience a positive one.
If you're looking for a real estate agent who is knowledgeable, personable, and truly cares about her clients, look no further than Kris. We couldn't be happier with our new home!”

“It was wonderful working with Stephen. We were first time home buyers and we were very picky because of the specific housing needs for our large family.

Choosing a realtor: We got introduced to Stephen from our HUD counselor. When we interviewed Stephen (there were three other candidates, all knowledgeable in their own respect), he checked all the boxes. At the time we had to decide, we had no worries signing the buyer-agent contract with him with confidence given how well he matched with our values. Deep experience in real estate market (specifically Alameda for us), no hard selling, conscientious about contingencies, and keen on accessibility features of a house for our needs as a family with small children.

The home search: we always received a fair and impartial assessment of each house we viewed. This worked perfectly for us because we don’t respond well to ‘just think of it as a starter home’ or ‘at least you’re starting equity instead of paying rent’ or ‘have you considered other cities?’. We’re allergic to hearing these mostly because of the situation we were in and the objectives we had. So to hear the complete opposite from him, ‘this home might not work for your family because.. so let’s keep looking.’ and ‘but do you LOVE this home? Let’s make sure you do.’ was such a big affirmation that we were working with the right agent.

Writing the winning offer: did you know, Stephen conducts classes teaching other realtors how to write winning offers! Once we found a home we loved and wanted to put an offer in, he kicked his skills into high gear and we eventually put in a winning offer for the home we now own. Of course this will be highly relative to your experience: the market you are targeting, the house you have chosen, and the pre approved budget you have from your lender. My takeaway is, Stephen made the best of what we had. He made sure no option or stone under our control was left unturned or left to chance, and even if we had lost the bid, I still would have held my head high knowing we put our best foot forward with Stephen’s expert guidance.

Navigating the days in contract: our transaction was smooth since I made sure on my side that we had all our ducks in a row. The appraisal also came in at offer price, and our offer price was heavily influenced based on the comps Stephen ran for us when we wrote the offer. We did discover two items during this time, and Stephen had very tactical steps for us to do. His guidance was deeply based on his professional experience and knowledge on industry standards. Eventually we closed contract on time and without any problems.

Overall, we are very happy with our first time homebuyer experience with Stephen. We felt there was no stone left unturned and we know we put our best foot forward.

You, dear reader, are probably going through these reviews to help decide if Stephen is the right realtor for you too. And you’re doing the right thing! Continue doing your due diligence. Knowing how Stephen operates and how he handled our purchase, I am confident he will be a dependable, knowledgeable, objective, and effective realtor for you too like how he was for us.”

“As a first-time homebuyer, I was overwhelmed by the entire process--but I am so glad that the universe brought us to our realtor, Cielo, to guide us through it all! We had a truly great experience working with her. From the beginning, Cielo took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and guided us through every step with patience and care. Her expertise really showed when it came to negotiating--she advocated for us with confidence and skill, ensuring we got the best possible outcome. Cielo is also incredibly knowledgeable about the local area and provided us with helpful insights that made a big difference in our decision-making.

One thing I especially appreciated is that Cielo was never pushy. She respected our pace and gave us the space to make decisions comfortably, while always being available to offer guidance and support. She also always worked with our schedule, which made the entire process so much smoother and less stressful.

Beyond her professionalism and expertise, Cielo is simply a wonderful person--warm, genuine, and a delight to be around. Her positive energy made the entire journey enjoyable and much less stressful. Thanks to Cielo, we found a home we love, and we couldn't be more grateful. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor who truly cares and goes above and beyond!”

“Noah helped us find an amazing loft. He and his team have been attentive and thoughtful throughout the whole process. He’s also been great with following up to make sure that all administrative issues and HOA work has been taken care of promptly. Thanks again, Noah!”

“We had a great experience working with Remy. Our home was on the market for >6 months with another realtor and we needed a change. It was then we reached out to Remy and he had many great ideas and was so easy to work with. He truly wants the best for you and your home - we felt he did an amazing job. We would highly recommend him to anyone!”
