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.
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.
My wife and I spent 15 years in the East Bay dreaming about moving back to San Francisco, but when we finally decided to make it happen, we came to the search pretty unfocused. We knew what we wanted (classic SF character, water views, a walkable and vibrant neighborhood) but had no clear sense of where to find it all or how to think about our budget. We needed more than a real estate agent; we needed someone who could help us find the dream itself.
Danielle Lazier at Vivre Real Estate became our buyer’s agent, and she was exactly that person. She listened carefully, zeroed in quickly on what would feel like home to us, and brought real clarity to how our budget aligned with home values on the ground. She was direct and always available, without ever making us feel rushed.
We found a stunning co-op apartment in Russian Hill with breathtaking views. Danielle’s strategic pricing advice helped us craft a winning offer, and her expertise navigating the additional complexities of a co-op transaction was invaluable. She connected us with excellent vendors, guided us through contingencies, and kept us calm through closing.
If you’re a home buyer trying to navigate San Francisco’s uniquely complex real estate market, there is no one more qualified to have in your corner. She turned a vague old dream into our actual home, and we couldn’t be more grateful.
