I had worked with Danielle early in her real estate career back in 2004. The market was also bonkers at that time and she helped guide me through the process to successfully buy my first place ever, and one in craziest markets in the country. She helped guide me to get prepared, make an offer and get to a successful close, connecting me with her mortgage broker at the time to make the financing work for my situation then. Fast forward 14 years, and after quite some time casually scanning the market for a good opportunity for a new home, my partner and I found a place that we were just taken with. So I naturally gave Danielle a call and she was ready to help. The place we were interested in was taking offers in a week, so my partner and I needed to figure out if everything was right for us and would work for us. Since we were not actively looking, we needed to a) decide if we were going to put in an offer and b) get ourselves properly qualified and ready to submit a compelling offer. Danielle connected us with one of her trusted mortgage advisors Mickey @ Citi (who was also great btw), and laid out a plan for us to submit an offer in time for the deadline. In a whirlwind effort, we were fully pre-qualified, wrote a letter to the seller and got our offer in - all in a few working days time. We received a call from Danielle the evening of the offer due date that our offer was accepted and we went down the path to successfully close on the house, supported by Danielle and her team. Danielle had recommended some painters for the house at our request and we decided to work with Mario from Red Door Painting. He was super responsive, professional and quite reasonable (after getting some comparison bids) and we are happy with the work that he and his team have done. So, we consider Danielle a great buyers agent to work with for your SF property needs.
We worked with Danielle and Sasha for about 6 months as buyers in the San Francisco market. Buying a house in SF is a terrifying and stressful experience, but working with a knowledgeable and empathetic realtor helps alleviate some of that stress. Danielle took the time to talk to us about our needs and was diligent in sending us good options based on our budget and criteria. The relationship only improved as Danielle and Sasha spent more time with us and got a sense of what we were looking for. When we were preparing our bids Danielle and Sasha walked us through each step and helped us understand the terms of our offer and made recommendations on how to make it more appealing to the seller. They even helped point us toward a good lender and we ended up getting a fantastic mortgage rate! While our bids were being looked over, they kept in constant contact with us providing updates about the status of our bid with the seller.
Danielle and Sasha are a great team we would recommend to anyone looking for a realtor in San Francisco!
Lucas and Danielle were a fabulous team! We were reluctant home hunters at first, but with these guys on our side, we felt more comfortable jumping into the brutal SF market. From the start, Lucas and Danielle won us over with their knowledge, communication, and overall approach to buying. They regularly responded to our emails within minutes and were ready to take us to showings at the drop of a hat. They kept us motivated and pulled us through the hard times when our first two offers fell short. And when we were ready to give up, Lucas prompted us to take another look a home we had previously disregarded as being out of range. We were emotionally drained and afraid to get invested in a third home offer, but with Lucas' guidance, we got our DREAM home! Thanks, Lucas and Danielle, for our perfect new place!
