I can highly recommend Danielle and her team. I met Danielle 4 years ago when I first considered selling my home, I interviewed her along with other agents and was most impressed with Danielle. I ended up not selling my home then but knew that if and when the time came I would want to work with Danielle. In June 2020 I decided to sell and reconnected with Danielle. I'm glad that I did. She is extremely knowledgeable, understanding, efficient and straight forward. I moved out in July 2020 so that Danielle and her team, which included Wendy Trotter Staging and various contractors, could prepare my condo (with minor updates, painting, etc) and stage it. They were very responsive and professional and did an awesome job. The condo and staging looked great. We put the condo on sale in August and Danielle did an excellent job of marketing it through social media and a website with photos and a spectacular virtual tour.
The SF market had changed from a seller's to a buyer's market (after 9 years, primarily due to COVID), and I was glad for Danielle's guidance and strategy in navigating this market change so that my condo would sell. She was very realistic about setting a listing price given the increase in inventory and competition, and although the price was lower than what I would have liked from the recent pre-COVID days, I trusted her judgment and experience and straight-forwardness in accepting that the market had changed. It paid off. The days of multiple bids had ended, unfortunately 🙁 We had 15 one-on-one private showings (no open houses due to COVID) and received only one bid, for slightly below asking. Danielle worked persistently with the buyer to secure the bid and helped me strategically negotiate the best price. Due to COVID-caused delays by the buyer's bank and appraiser the escrow process took longer than expected, but Danielle diligently stayed on top of them all throughout to a successful closing.
With Danielle's guidance I sold my condo within 2 weeks of it being listed in a rapidly changing buyer's market with greatly increased competition. We stayed ahead of the curve and moved my property while others have remained on the market. Danielle's expertise was invaluable and I can highly recommend her and her team.
We recently listed our condo in the Mission District with Danielle. She (and we) were forced to face a declining market due to a re-valuation brought on by the pandemic. She was able to suggest strategies that put us ahead of the market, and bring innovative alternative marketing that worked. We were able to close our sale - albeit at a price lower than we had hoped for. But in a market with excess inventory, we feel we faired well. Danielle is easy to work with and knows what works and what doesn't. A pleasure to know her and work with her.
I've sold more than 20 homes over the past 50 years. This was the best transaction so far. Danielle sold my home in two days, escrow closed in 25 days, and she negotiated a price above asking. I couldn't be in SF for the duration, so Danielle or members of her team provided access to window washers, house cleaners, a plumber and others. Every text was answered promptly and all my questions got quick replies. Danielle understands the SF real estate market, is an astute pricing strategist, and her people skills are excellent. You would be wise to contact her if you're a buyer or a seller.
