I worked with Josh Ortiz on my recent home purchase, I really lucked out with him as my agent. I was fairly specific in what I was looking for (single-family home in a limited radius of neighborhoods), and I worried that I'd be searching for a long time in the competitive SF market. But having Josh on my side in the hunt made the whole process easy and shockingly quick. He suggested I go take a look at a house based on an offhand comment I made about a feature I liked in a different property, and it was like he had read my mind in terms of what I was looking for. I fell in love with the place immediately, but there were already multiple offers in on the home. Josh predicted exactly where we needed to be on our bid, and ours was the one the seller accepted.

Josh was also a pure pleasure to work with, removing a lot of the stress and the jitters that come with the process. With his local experience and knowledge of the market, I truly felt like I was in good hands---and this allowed me to relax into the search (and dare I say I had fun?). And of course, now I get to live in my dream home in San Francisco.

Danielle was a breeze to work with. We were on a tight timeline and Danielle met us at our pace. She communicated clearly and timely throughout. Buying/selling in San Francisco isn't exactly stress free but the trust that Danielle engendered made this hasty transition in our lives a lot more pleasant than it could have been!

We worked with Josh Ortiz, who was wonderfully available, helpful, knowledgeable, and engaging. He was extremely attentive to our wishes in terms of the kind of properties we were interested in, and effective in finding suitable properties for us to view. He was also extremely helpful in shepherding us through the closing process, e.g. recommending places where we could apply for insurance as well as informing us of what documents were needed next. What could have been a stressful process was made easy through his persistent help. Danielle was also an encouraging presence throughout. We enthusiastically recommend this agency.

Without hesitation, I would recommend Danielle for anyone looking to sell their home. From our initial consultation to the final closing of escrow, Danielle guided us thru the process with expertise and professionalism. I was apprehensive selling our family home, but Danielle transformed a possible stressful process into one that was very smooth and seamless. She did a thorough market analysis and suggested a selling price which was right on point. Throughout the entire process, Danielle was responsive and communicative. We never had to call or email to find out what was happening. Danielle let us know first. From the time we agreed to the selling price and the close of escrow - it took only 16 days! Amazing! We could not ask for a better realtor!

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Danielle when selling our SOMA condo in February/March 2025. Given the challenging state of the SF condo market in 2025, we wanted to work with an experienced and top selling real estate agent. After contacting several realtors, we opted to work with Danielle given her pragmatic approach to marketing and selling our condo. Danielle was extremely responsive and explained to us the process of moving forward with her as well as the current state of the market. Once engaged, Danielle worked quickly and efficiently, setting pricing, coordinating staging and marketing our home, all within weeks of reaching out to her. After several weeks of being on the market, Danielle was able to negotiate a competitive offer and completed the sale by mid-March. I can’t recommend Danielle highly enough. If we ever find ourselves looking for homes in the Bay Area again, we’ll definitely look to work with Danielle and her team again.

My spouse and I had a great experience working with Josh from Danielle Lazier's office at Vivre Real Estate. From the first time we met with him, Josh was professional, friendly, informative, efficient, capable, and responsive. He worked closely with us to answer every question, help us make informed and fast decisions, and compete well in the SF housing market. We are very glad that we worked with Josh to purchase our first home.

We worked with Josh and Danielle when we originally bought our house and had such a great experience we naturally decided to work with them again when it came time to sell. Our house was fairly old and we wanted to make various improvements to it prior to selling in order to help us get a better sale price. Given Danielle’s extensive experience she was able to recommend a great stager/designer who, together with Danielle, helped to recommend improvements and manage the entire house preparation process end-to-end.

When it came time to list the house Danielle held a bunch of open houses over a two week period to ensure that we were able to market the house to as many buyers as possible. She also helped with the negotiations to get offers that far exceeded the target list price and our expectations. We would highly recommend working with both her and her team on both the buying and selling side.

Danielle was great to work with. In contrast to other realtors we talked to, she took a thoughtful tailored approach to selling our house instead of following a formula.

We were looking for someone to manage the sale process while we were out of town, and she was great at balancing being autonomous vs. keeping us in the loop. She was also flexible with staging and - a couple of times - went the extra mile to save us some money. We’d happily work with her again in future!

After finding the perfect Outer Sunset condo for us on Zillow, we had initially tried going with ShopProp but, as first time buyers, pretty quickly decided we needed a more hands-on approach. Connecting with Josh as a buyer's agent through Vivre Real Estate rapidly put us in a more comfortable and confident position. Josh was quick to follow up on all our questions and requests and walked us through the many important steps and considerations about the property and the transaction in a skilled and knowledgeable way. This was particularly important when developing our negotiation strategy. Josh walked us through the whole process, suggesting and explaining good bidding numbers as well as what documents to send in our offer. As expected, it was a nerve-racking process but, to our delight, our first offer was accepted and we really couldn't have done it without Josh's guidance. If you are interested in purchasing SF real estate, and want the transaction to go smoothly, we highly recommend Josh and Vivre Real Estate.

Danielle sold our Bay Area house while we were living across the country. She and her team made everything so easy for us! This was our first time selling a house and we felt so relaxed with Danielle and her team taking the lead on everything. (She also got us quite a bit over asking price!) We'll recommend her to all of our friends and family.
