      Found our dream home in SF aEUR" from 3,000 miles away When my partner and I decided to buy a home in San Francisco while living in New York, we knew we needed a team we could trust completely. John and Lance were exactly that. From the very first conversation, they got us. Not just what we were looking for in a home, but who we are, how we make decisions, and what mattered most to us. That kind of intuitive understanding is rare and it made every step of the process feel like we were in the right hands. The fact that we were doing this entirely remotely could have been a recipe for anxiety. Instead, John and Lance made it feel seamless. They were proactive, responsive at every hour, and always ahead of the next question we were about to ask. We never felt the distance. When it came to negotiation, they were sharp and strategic. In a market where every advantage counts, they moved quickly and decisively aEUR" and delivered a result we are genuinely thrilled with. We closed on a home we love in one of the most competitive markets in the country, on our timeline, and without a single moment where we felt exposed or uncertain. If you are looking for a team that combines deep market expertise with genuine personal investment in your outcome aEUR" look no further. John and Lance don't just close deals. They build trust, earn it every step of the way, and deliver results that speak for themselves. We can't wait to get there and raise a glass with them. Highly, highly recommend.

      Craig leads a competent and co-ordinated team of cleaners, painters, stagers, and escrow handlers who guided our sale from initial meeting to completed sale within a short few weeks. Don't expect much dialogue, just quick benchmarks checked off as the sale process proceeds. In the current market, the underpricing was a bit nerve-wracking, but the end result has convinced me that the marketing was appropriate and produced the highest return..

      Lance was personable, easy to work with, and super helpful when selling my condo. He did a great job managing every aspect of the sale, from prepping to staging and marketing.

      We had the pleasure of working with John Solaegui and George Whitney during our search for a second home in San Francisco, which took over a year. During that time, they became far more than real estate agents helping us evaluate properties and craft offers aEUR" they became trusted advisors whose judgment we came to rely on completely. In a process that is often defined by transactions and timelines, John and George brought something far more meaningful to the table: judgment you could trust and a partnership you could rely on. Whenever we were seriously considering a property, they moved with remarkable efficiency. They gathered disclosures quickly, prepared thoughtful comparables, and spent time walking us through every nuance of the opportunity aEUR" the risks, the possibilities, and the strategy. The process was always thorough and collaborative. Along the way, we lost out on two condos we had been genuinely excited about aEUR" moments that can make a home search feel discouraging. But what stayed with us afterward was a deep appreciation for the care, responsiveness, and professionalism with which they worked on our behalf. Even in those moments, we felt fortunate to have them representing us. Throughout the entire process, John and George were consistently enthusiastic, patient, and generous with their time. No question ever felt trivial, and no conversation ever felt rushed. They were always available, prepared, and looking out for our best interests. They were also a valuable resource beyond the purchase itself, connecting us with reliable professionals when needed. Over the course of the year, what began as a professional relationship gradually became something warmer aEUR" a partnership built on trust, respect, and shared excitement about finding the right home. For that, and for everything they did along the way, we are deeply grateful to have worked with John and George.

      Were so grateful to Hui and John for helping us buy our first home in San Francisco! As first-time homebuyers, we started out knowing very little about the market or the process. They took the time to really understand what we liked, what we were looking for, and what mattered to us. They got to know our taste and what we were looking for so well that they were able to show us a few homes even before they came on the market. One of those ended up being our home! They took us through countless home tours and, even when we had doubts or wanted to see a place again, never hesitated to take us back. We never felt pressured and always felt like they genuinely had our best interests at heart. What meant even more was that their support didnt end at closing. They continued to help us by connecting us with trusted contacts for the work we wanted to do in our new home. Buying our first home felt so much less overwhelming because we had Hui and John guiding us through it all. We truly couldnt have asked for a better team and are so happy they were part of such a special milestone for us!
