When I first wanted to buy a house in SF, I talked to a number of listing agents and all of them were trying to play the usual games with me. Danielle was straight forward, didn't try to upsell me on things I didn't want, and understood that I just wanted to get in, make an offer, and close the deal. She gave me great advice on the offer and helped me with a great cover letter (that I hear was received well, and was a tie breaker for another deal). At the end of the day, there were 13 other offers and Danielle was extremely responsive and helped me rapidly counter multiple times which ultimately led to me getting the place. It was a great experience, and 6 years later, I decided to work with her again to sell it now that we have a kid.
Fast forward 6 years. I decide to work with Danielle again and I have zero regrets. She continues to be professional, no-bs, and no games. Danielle knew what small improvements the place could use to make it feel more modern and sell better in this market (like new flooring). She and her team coordinated all of the contractors, paperwork, documentation, and buyer questions and made the selling process super easy. She knew what price to set the house to generate interest, held multiple effective and very busy open houses. She and her clearly team know how to navigate the fast paced SF market and know what they are doing.
Even with (what I perceive as) a softening market, she managed to collect 9 offers in 2 weeks, walked me through all of the offers, and managed to sell for an amount I was happy with to a lovely buyer.
When I look to buy a house again, I will absolutely be working with Danielle and her team.
I've known Danielle personally for over a decade so when it came time for me to hire a real estate agent to list my home, I turned to her first.
My property is outside of her service area (San Francisco) so she connected me with a top local agent in Fresno. I figured if she is a good agent here, she'll know how to find a good agent there! I wanted help to find a Realtor who I could trust to get me top dollar and take care of the house since we live 4 hours away.
Danielle did not disappoint! Apparently, she has an extensive network well beyond the Bay Area and we really enjoyed working with her referral agent. She did a great job marketing the property and got us above the appraised value. And I felt I could trust her which was comforting. Thank you, Danielle!
When I went through the process of selling my home, I decided to hire Danielle and her team. I met with 4 different listing agents (why not price shop and compare?). Initially, I was leaning towards another agent recommended by a close family friend. However, I quickly discovered in my first meeting with Danielle that she and her staff would be honest, efficient, and prioritize my needs as a seller - which were to maximize profit and sell fast.
To be clear, from a commissions standpoint Danielle does not come cheap. That said, you more than get what you paid for. I felt extremely comfortable with handing over the reigns and allowing Danielle and her team to make executive decisions when need be and keep me well informed as things transpired (literally, I received daily at times hourly email and/or text notifications...lol!). The devil is in the details, and Danielle and her team are more than capable of handling those details for you. Not only was Danielle able to negotiate a sell price well over the list price (in a buyer's market no less!), but also DOM was less than 2 weeks. Ever the consummate professionals, I will definitely work with Danielle and her team again when it comes time to buy. I can't recommend her enough!
