Earlier this year I was left with the responsibility of managing the estate of a close friend. When it came to putting her beloved home in Forest Hill up for sale I felt completely overwhelmed by the task ahead. I reached out to a few agents who were well reviewed and were active in that market in San Francisco. From my first interaction with Danielle, I was impressed by her calm demeanor and approach, which immediately relieved my apprehension and made the process seem more manageable. Meeting and speaking with her further, I felt totally confident that she was the right person to handle the sale. From the start she demonstrated competency, professionalism and an expert grasp of the local market.
Danielle came up with a winning strategy to present and market the home to maximize appeal to potential buyers. Working with her contractor and stager she had the home ready for listing in a very reasonable timeframe. She and her team at Vivre kept me informed every step along the way and were always available if any issues arose.
After receiving multiple offers the home was under contract within a week of listing, selling for way above asking price and setting a record with the best price per square foot of any home sold in Forest Hill this year.
I believe Danielle’s pricing skills, her marketing skills and her extensive overall experience were responsible for this very successful sale, and I could not be happier with my experience of working with her. I wholeheartedly recommend Danielle and Vivre Real Estate to anyone looking to sell a home in San Francisco.
Seven years ago, we relocated from London to San Francisco. After starting out in a rental -- options being limited at the time -- we decided to purchase in Pacific Heights. Danielle and her team guided us through the process with patience, giving us the time we needed to truly understand the market and making sure we settled on a place we genuinely loved.
As the years passed, work brought us to Asia, and once it became clear we would not be returning to San Francisco, we made the decision to sell. Holding a property from thousands of miles away carries real complexity -- practical, financial, and tax considerations alike. Despite the distance, Danielle delivered an excellent sale and her team executed a remarkably smooth and swift closing. Our notary signing was conducted entirely online, with my wife joining from Singapore and myself from Paris -- a seamless process across time zones.
Thank you, Danielle and Vivre team.
