Cynthia and her team of professionals made the renovation, staging, and selling so smooth

We are crazy busy professionals with young children and very little time. We loved that Cynthia and her team of professionals made the renovation, staging, and selling so smooth.

One of the best in the business and kindest.

One of the best in the business and kindest! …I entirely depended on Cynthia for her knowledge and guidance. I tried Redfin initially and was quickly discouraged as they may be able to take you on tours, but there’s no local expertise for how the market really works or if they can guide you to…View More

This was our second time using Cynthia. I would not use anyone else, ever.

This was our second time using Cynthia. I would not use anyone else, ever. She is not your typical realtor type.

She was also able to locate a well-qualified and motivated buyer for our place through her extensive contacts

Shelly was a neighbor friend before becoming our agent. When we decided to “down-size” from our home, Shelly said “Why don’t I just keep an eye out for you and let you know if I come across something that might be interesting to you?”  Several months went by…when Shelly called to say she thought she…View More

My latest deal was complicated, and the path was full of twists and surprises

We aimed high, and Susan aimed even higher

Susan managed to sell our family’s property during a PANDEMIC! Talk about being thrown a curve. Suddenly, we had to contend with new coronavirus rules and regulations.

Susan helped me secure the home I wanted

I highly recommend Susan for a potential buyer or a seller, as I was both!

Susan helped me secure the home I wanted…View More

It took Susan’s vision, hard work and real estate savvy to produce the results we got

Some people think houses in San Francisco sell themselves. In our case it took Susan’s vision, hard work and real estate savvy to produce the results we got – a sales price more than 35 percent over asking and a price per square foot that set a new standard for our neighborhood. We can’t sing…View More

Razor sharp business skills coupled with a warm and caring heart

What sets Cynthia apart is her blend of razor sharp business skills coupled with a warm and caring heart. I’ve been on both sides of a transaction with Cynthia as my agent (as both buyer and seller) and she brings her best to both. It’s often one’s biggest financial asset, but it is also your…View More

You were a perfect partner

Thanks to you for helping me get through the sale of (one condo and the purchase of another)! You were a perfect partner (although I believe you did most of the work and I just “did” the signing on the dotted line!).

Understanding of the human brain and heart

Cynthia is uniquely qualified for a job that not only takes intelligence and talent but an understanding of the human brain and heart.

Calm and caring

I have been walking on a little cloud all day! I still can’t quite believe that I have a house!!! I can’t thank you enough for all you have done for me, for your calm and caring even when I was flipping out. This was not an easy process, but I felt held and guided…View More

Cynthia is the best!

She did a terrific job representing us when we bought our duplex in Cow Hollow. And since then, she has been our best resource for anything related to SF home ownership. My good friend used Cynthia to buy his house – he tells me without her, he’d have never closed the deal. Highest recommendation!

My expectations were exceeded

From the time (Cynthia and I) started the process of preparing my property to closing it was nothing less than professional and efficient. I took a 14-day cruise in the interim and we closed three days after I got off the ship. My expectations were exceeded and I would never use any other Realtor besides…View More
