Danielle and her team are truly something special, and definitely one of, if not *the* best agent in the city. We worked with them as sellers, and then as buyers, and they gave us amazing advice at each step. They really know their field and are experts in it. In particular, they completely live up to their slogan of "knowing Bernal" (both of our homes, sold and new, are in the neighborhood). They are strategic, thoughtful, patient, and supportive. We could not be happier with our experience and couldn't recommend them more highly

We met Lucas Sorah at a beautiful condo in Bernal he was representing in January. We had only been in SF two months (moved from NYC), had never owned and thought we were a year away from being able to buy a place. After our initial conversation with Lucas however, he convinced us there was no need to wait that long. He is so easy to talk to, even for two introverts, that by the end of our first meeting we couldn't wait to start looking at places together. Mid-way through our first day of open house tours Lucas had honed in on what we were looking for, even before we did. We thought we needed to look in East Bay but he knew we'd be happiest in the city, and he showed us that it was possible to buy something we loved right here in SF. Long story short, we just moved into our first home three weeks ago, in Noe Valley (what!), after our second offer was accepted just 2 months after meeting Lucas.

Having heard stories from people we know who had looked for over a year and made dozens of offers before being successful, we feel incredibly lucky to have met Lucas when we did. There are lots of reasons why we will recommend Lucas to all our friends and family, and it boils down to a few key factors:

1) As we learned first hand, most of the business in this city/market is handled by just a handful of agents, and Lucas is one of them. With his connections and resources not only did he focus our attention on listings that were a good fit for us and where we could be competitive, he was also able to show us off-market listings that we never would have known about otherwise.

2) He's always made us feel like we were his only clients, he's been straight-forward with us, and he's managed our expectations professionally from day one. He was available to us as much as we needed, and more importantly we were a team -- the process was collaborative which is what made it so fun and rewarding. He's the reason we never got discouraged.

3) His experience, knowledge and intuition about the market is so finely-tuned that we quickly realized the best thing we could do for ourselves when making an offer was to trust his recommendation completely. Time and again his gut was spot on for what a place would receive in terms of offers and predicting the successful sale, and ultimately we witnessed first hand how he delivers on his promise: with Lucas you "win" on your third offer or sooner. If you trust him, you'll be successful.

4) With Lucas you get so much more than just an agent - you get an entire team of experts that have been closing homes together for years. We didn't know anyone in the city or know where to start with the loan process. Lucas introduced us to our mortgage broker who guided us through the confusing process and made the entire experience less stressful. He also introduced us to a roster of folks we would end up needing: our insurance agent, home-warranty agent, even our cleaner! Finally I would be remiss if I did not mention that Lucas and his team stage the most compelling open houses we saw in SF, hands-down. If we end up selling in the future there's no one else we'd consider for the sale. We've already been talking to Lucas about the work we plan to do to our new place, with future resale value in mind.

Our experience could not have been better from beginning to end, we are truly happy with our new home, and we have Lucas to thank for that.

From the moment we met Sasha Lupercio from SFhotlist we knew we were in great hands.  I had previously scheduled 2 upcoming appointments to interview real estate agents and immediately cancelled after meeting with Sasha.

The whole process from the start was completely seamless- Sasha gave us such great advice on how to best show our home and how to obtain the highest selling price- and she exceeded our expectations from start to finish

From the impeccable customer service to the incredible marketing program Sasha and the SFHot List team has in place, we were able to sell our home in just 4 short days and at a record selling price for our area

I would highly recommend Sasha and the SFhotlist team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home as we had such a fantastic experience!

When I finally decided I was ready to buy in the Bay Area I knew I could reach out to Danielle and her team for guidance on who to work with. Although I wanted to work with her, I was looking in the Oakland area and knew the next best thing would be her wise recommendation. She connected me with an amazing agent and within 2 months I was in my new loft in the Fruitvale area. I never thought it would be that easy and simple but with someone like Danielle and her network it removed any anxiety or vetting process. I know I can trust her guidance - no questions asked!

Tanya and Danielle are truly the best in the business. 5+ years ago we worked with them on purchasing our home in SF (see my other review), and a couple months ago we also hired them to sell our home. They far and away exceeded all of our expectations. Our situation was a bit complicated because we had to move out of the area before our house went on the market. Nonetheless, the process was seamless and we ended up getting many great offers on the house.

Tanya and Danielle were wonderful about setting expectations for how the process would work, what repairs we needed to have done, and what type of offers we could expect. They also helped arrange all repairs, landscaping, and staging in preparation for putting the house on the market. The marketing materials for the house, as well as the staging were all incredibly professional.

They were both remarkably attentive to our questions, and kept us updated almost daily throughout the process. I cannot imagine working with better realtors

Danielle supported us during the escrow/closing process of the sale of our house and we couldn't be happier with the outcome! The escrow process can be nerve wracking when you're on a tight schedule like my family was. So many little details and milestones to be attentive to. Danielle made the whole experience smooth, providing us with all the information we needed, when we needed, guiding us step by step. The focus on client experience and dedication was amazing. Danielle and her team were fantastic partners to work with.

My fiance and I worked with Lucas on the purchase of our first home. While the buying process in San Francisco can be daunting, we were so lucky to have such a great partner! Lucas helped us understand the market, going over recent sales and inventory in our target neighborhoods, and made sure we had realistic expectations.

When we found our dream condo in the Castro, Lucas and his team immediately jumped in to help us seal the deal. During the quick and stressful process of making our first-ever offer, Lucas was there 24/7 when we had questions and walked us through the entire process - and we got it! And again, when the prospect of a 10-day close seemed daunting, Lucas and the entire SF Hotlist team made sure it was seamless. They were extremely fast and easy to communicate with, answered all of our questions, and best of all, made us feel comfortable throughout the process.

Thanks, Lucas!

Selling a home can be overwhelming but Michael and Danielle made sure everything was taken care of! They were available any time, and always kept a positive attitude. They made sure you know everything that is going on with your property from the initial listing to the day of closing. They were very knowledgeable, professional, and efficient throughout the entire process. We highly recommend them to anyone needing to sell their home. They did a phenomenal job of marketing the property and far exceeded our expectations as to what we were expecting to sell the property for. They hit a home run! They are dedicated to their clients and will get the results

Danielle and Tanya are a dynamic duo! We hired them years ago to help us buy our condo in San Francisco. They were fabulous. So when it was time to sell, we turned to their expertise once again. The end result was equally fabulous. Their top notch marketing, attention to detail and strong support team really differentiate them from other agents in the Bay Area.  We will continue to recommend them for both buying and selling. Thank you Danielle and Tanya!

Tanya and Danielle did it again! Seven years ago, we bought our first house with them as our agent. We had been very discouraged after house hunting for months with another agent. They worked with our tight schedule, organized 7 to 9 houses for us to see every Saturday, and in 3 weeks landed us the most amazing house before it even had a chance to have an open house.

Seven years later now, we had to relocate out of state due to work. Tanya took care of remodeling, landscaping, painting, staging, and inspection--she found us bids, helped us bargain down the prices etc when we were not available to do much. Danielle kept us updated with the open house while we were traveling. The result was amazing, and we sold our house at the highest price to comparable houses in the neighborhood!

It is beyond question that Danielle and Tanya is extremely capable and hard-working. But besides that they also have high integrity and are always available (even after a sale)--which I find to be a rare combination in a realtor. I could not recommend them more highly to anyone who hopes to buy or sell a house in this impossible market.!
