We're so glad we worked with Josh! As first time buyers, we really needed help both learning how to buy a house, and a partner for finding our perfect place. Josh was great for both - his knowledge and patience throughout this process has been invaluable, and helped us get our perfect first home. We'll certainly be recommending him to all our friends!

Josh and Danielle were terrific! We needed a place in SF that we could lock and leave because we live most of the year in Colorado. Josh was great at showing us so many great properties and we were able to find what we were looking for in only a couple of days. He was a great agent and ALWAYS returned my call or text with whatever questions I had very promptly. We are so happy with their knowledge and service and would definitely use again whether buying or selling!

Since I’m a buyer, I primarily worked with Josh. My wife and I are from Colorado and I needed a realtor that was willing to work with an out of town client. I contacted 5 different realtors in the SF area and Danielle was the first to call me back in anything like a timely fashion. She was very helpful and hooked me up with Josh who was great. I told him when I would be there to look at properties and he lined up several showings for me and I was actually able to find a place and make a decision on it in two days! He was also great about getting back to me promptly whenever I had a question. I would definitely use Danielle and Josh again whether buying or selling!

We recently closed on our first ever home (condo) purchase, and Josh Ortiz from Vivre played a pivotal role in that. Josh came with a strong recommendation from a friend, and we understand why! In our initial conversations, Josh gave us helpful advice on how to approach the house search, timelines, and setting ambitious yet realistic expectations. He was quick to grasp our needs and what we were looking for, and made sure we were aware of listings that fit those criteria. He is also extremely organized and responsive – whenever we found a listing we liked, we could count on Josh to quickly follow-up with the listing team and get us more information.

We wanted to work with a real estate agent who had deep familiarity with the local SF market, and Josh delivered. It is clear that he has built strong relationships within the local real estate community, and that selling agents have had positive experiences working with him as well. He was often recognized by name and praised by selling agents when we went to open houses and shared that we were working with him.

After looking at a bunch of places in SF, we found a place we wanted to make an offer on. This part is where Josh truly stood out for us. He helped us put together a competitive offer and was diligent about checking in with the listing agent to get us prompt updates. When our offer was accepted and we entered the escrow process, Josh checked in with us regularly and helped get us answers to questions from the selling team. We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Josh, and highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home in SF!

Josh was our buyers agent for our first home and was incredibly helpful at every step of the way. He did a great job at communicating with the sellers on our behalf, engaging in research for us, and answered every single question we sent him in a timely manner. We had a last minute panic because our lender was Silicon Valley Bank - when their closure came to light, Josh immediately jumped into action and started collecting rate sheets from other lenders for us. Fortunately we were still able to use SVB, but Josh's professionalism in that moment shows how much he shines.

I have worked with Danielle several times over the past few years, and I can say she is hands down the best at what she does. She is a true professional and is detailed and strategic in her approach. Her ability to break down the process into manageable steps and her strong knowledge of the market are significant assets when participating in the Bay Area Real Estate market. She is great at communicating every step of the way and her enthusiasm and dedication contribute to a less stressful experience in general. She has incredible relationships with her peers and vendors and can pivot as needed to get things done. I’ve enjoyed every deal we have done together, and I look forward to many more.

Danielle is the consummate professional. Her listings always get tons of buyer interest, evening in the most challenging markets. She is well known for creating bidding environments, and getting buyer’s for her listings to pay more through competitive situations. When it came to disclosures and transparency, she leaves nothing to chance, which ultimately results in a smooth transaction all parties can feel good about. I strongly recommend Danielle and look forward to working with her again in the future!

If you are looking for a Realtor in San Francisco, I highly recommend that you contact Danielle before talking with anyone else. She posted a case study on her website that described a situation similar to ours so I initially reached out to her to get her thoughts. She listened carefully and went over each of the questions I raised. By the end of our session, I felt she was the only one I wanted to work with; there was no need to talk to any other Realtor. Being a first timer, the selling process can be overwhelming but after talking with Danielle, I threw out my preconceived notions and let Danielle and her team guide me. Her experience and instincts are right on target in terms of pricing, timing and marketing. The staging and design company she works with did a phenomenal job in delivering on time. Her support team were outstanding in guiding us through the countless disclosure docs and reports that are required. We received multiple offers after the first weekend of open house. Needless to say, we were extremely happy with the outcome. We couldn’t have done it without her help. I’d give her ten stars if I could.

It is hard to imagine going through the process of selling our home without the expert guidance of Danielle, and the support of her amazing team. After 16 years in our house, and facing a very different market, there was a lot to navigate - Danielle helped us understand each aspect of the process and took plenty of time to address all of our questions and concerns, with thoughtfulness and care. Her team was highly professional and responsive, which helped make the entire experience efficient and smooth. In the end the results exceeded our expectations, and we had a very successful sale. We are so grateful to Danielle and her team and could not recommend them more.

I worked with Josh Ortiz (at Vivre) as a buyer, and he was just awesome. He knows the SF market and its dynamics backwards and forwards, and provided expert guidance and great advice at every step along the way. He gave me a very early heads up about the property which I ended up buying, knowing it would be a great fit for me, so that I was the first person to contact the selling agent. He gave me great advice on pricing and negotiating strategy, communicated seamlessly with the seller, and got me the property that I wanted (and his prediction of the final selling price after a bit of a bidding war was very accurate). Besides being a consummate and very effective pro, Josh is super laid back and easy going, very pleasant to work with, and this helped me deal with all of the stress and anxiety that this process can create. Highly recommended.
