CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Here are a few statements that have been made by some of my past clients:

"We had a complicated transaction, where our Marin purchase was contingent on the sale of our San Francisco home.  The main issue was that our home was not even listed for sale when our counter offer was accepted!  Sharon handled both of the transactions with ease, helping us ready our home for listing in just two days, holding multiple open homes, and finally helping us sell our home in just six days with a purchase contingency on our new home actually closing, thereby protecting us.  The purchase of our Marin home was not easy; there were several nights of nail-biting, when the seller's agent threatened receipt of higher offers, pushing us to close early, attempts to go outside the contract, etc. He did not like that their offer was contingent on the sale of our San Francisco home. Throughout both transactions (purchase of Marin home, sale of San Francisco home), Sharon remained poised and extremely professional.  She may have started as our realtor, but she ended as our friend.  Having been through multiple real estate deals, I honestly can say that ours was anything but simple - and we relied entirely on Sharon's expertise to close both deals. We would highly recommend her."."

Cedric and Lisa Barringer - San Francisco Sellers and Concurrent Marin Buyers

"Sharon has an incredibly powerful grasp of the real estate market in San Francisco. Furthermore, she knows the value of the education, patience and understanding required to make the client feel as if they know almost as much as she does about the housing and market they are focused on. As a result, she has the uncanny knack of honestly telling it like it is and making her client feel empowered as a result of her hard work. Sharon knows her market. Once people realize that - which was after 10 minutes for me - you can spend most of the discussion focusing on your specific needs, speeding up the process and wasting less of your time. If you're looking for value, efficiency, expertise - and a fun way to get up to speed on an important investment - look no further than Sharon."

Alan White
Home Owner-Lake Street Area

"You were a cossumate professional. You handled the sale of our home with the closest attention to market timing, you helped us to prepare it for sale, you priced it perfectly and then you marketing it intensely resulting in 3 offers after 2 weeks. We are very pleased with the results that you achieved in the sale of our Marin home and we would highly recommend you to our friends.."

David and Jeanee Trainer - Sausalito Sellers

"Selling our home was a huge decision for us to make. Then to find the perfect realtor who could look after our best interests, act solely on our behalf, work earnestly and truthfully for us and get us an offer that we simply could not refuse. We were referred to Sharon through a good friend and past client of hers. She was excellent at getting us all of the above and more. We then worked with her to find our new home in Marin County. Sellers (and buyers) deserve great agents to act on their behalf. Sharon is better than great. We would refer her in a heart beat.."

Mr. And Mrs. T.L. Ramsby
Home Seller- Presidio Heights

"A simultaneous sale and purchase is not as easy as some may think. Sharon had located our dream home, but we really needed to sell our current home in order to buy. We negotiated a purchase contract with the seller, then the fun really got started! With careful planning and a great marketing effort to catch the attention of the right buyers at the right times, Sharon immediately went to work for us. She paid for all of the right ads, created a frenzy of activity, through her own network and other areas, rustled up 9 offers which blew my mind, helped us to understand the difference to them all (there is more than price to consider) and successfully negotiated everything that we were looking for and a great sale price too! Additionally her thoroughness in the paperwork side of things, disclosures and legal documents, made sure that both deals stuck. There is no way that we could have done this without her. Thank you Sharon!"

Mr. And Mrs. Michael Thompson
House Seller- Cole Valley
House Buyer- Eureka Valley

"We chose Sharon because she was referred to us as the top agent in loft and luxury condominiums in South of Market. She far exceeded our expectations in every category. We used her both to sell and purchase a property. She represented us equally well in both areas. The San Francisco market is very competitive and it is important to have the best agent on your side. Sharon is extraordinary. Every person that we have met that has worked with her echoes her attributes. She is quick, intuitive, smart and consistent. It was our pleasure and honor to work with her. We could not recommend her more highly"

Susan Solinsky and Paul Duryea
Home Owner- North Waterfront

"Sharon is a remarkable professional. Her energy, honesty, timeliness, and thoroughness made it easy for me to purchase a home despite my own very busy schedule. She kept everything moving forward on my behalf, involving me only when necessary. She is not only talented, but, more importantly, worthy of one's absolute trust."

Salman Malik
Income Property Owner-Upper Haight

"If you are looking for the best realtor in San Francisco, look no farther than Sharon. She combines a rare combination of integrity, creativity and diligence that is hard to find in the industry. With Sharon, I was able to find the exact property that I was looking for where others had failed before her. She listed to my needs, found what I wanted and provided expert counsel when it came to preparing a winning bid."

Matt and Tina Blau - Loft Buyer-South Beach

"Sharon found us the perfect home within 3 weeks. We had been told that the real estate market here was tough, but she made it easy for us. She managed to find us a property and get us in to see it before anyone else had a chance, she helped us to design an attractive offer for the seller, as well as making sure that our own interests were taken care of. She managed to have our offer accepted before the frenzied market got a chance to look at out home. Then she helped us through the myriad of paperwork in break neck time, so that we could close in 2 weeks...WHEW! We could not have done this without her. She is our realtor for life."

David and Peggy Ross - Telegraph Hill

"Having worked in the real estate development business in the Midwest, my wife and I place a special premium on the ability to find and close real estate transactions in a fast and professional manner. Our desire to find a second home in Telegraph Hill presented an unique challenge to Sharon: find us a small condominium in a small complex and complete the deal as soon as possible. Sharon quickly located the ideal unit, arranged a showing before the listing agent had even posted a FOR SALE sign, consulted with us on an appropriate offer based upon comparable transactions, and drafted an offer which the seller accepted--all within one week. Thank you Sharon!"

Frank & Laura Mauceri
Pied A Terre Owner-Telegraph Hill

"I don't know how I could have bought my first home without Sharon's help. Besides the fact that she really knows her business, her easy going manner, professionalism, concern and support, help make my real estate buying experience so much easier than I had expected. I would highly recommend (and have -- several times) her real estate services to anyone in need."

Elena de Castro
Loft Buyer-SOMA

"We had been looking for the right house for over a year. Each time we found something interesting there were an additional 50 bids in front of us and there was no way to compete. This was before we met Sharon. She did an amazing job for us. She was not only able to bring to our attention great potential deals, but once we decided on the house, she worked very hard to get the deal done. Sharon's ability to be strong yet personal makes her very effective. I know we would not have been able to get the house we purchased if it had not been for her."

Eduardo and Sylvia Rallo
Home Owner-Pacific Heights

"Sharon was great at leading me through all of the details -things that I would never have thought about! She thought of everything and left no stone unturned. Also, Sharon has a great network of service providers - from contractors and inspectors to mortgage brokers and decorators - and they all come together to make the process as painless and smooth as possible. Sharon is a trooper."

Christina Kramlich
Home Owner-Eureka Valley

"Sharon was an unbelievable help to my wife and I throughout the process of buying our home. We went through a small bidding war with our home and Sharon was instrumental in determining what the winning bid would be without going over. She was always available for questions, even while on vacation, which was a huge help for us because we had so many questions. In the end, it was a painless process from start to finish due to Sharon's knowledge and hard work."

Sean Murray

"I would like to praise your very professional attitude and demeanor in the handling of the sale of my property. I appreciated your attention in keeping me apprised of the status of the sale, giving me adequate notice when showing the property, and keeping me abreast of the transaction every step of the way, through a very efficient closing."
