It's not easy to describe in just a few paragraphs what a great real estate agent Danielle is. I have very high standards for professionalism and mastery of one's own domain and Danielle's performance has been spotless.

A few months ago, based on our own instincts as well as all the pundits forecasting a rare buyer's market in San Francisco, my fiancee and I decided to look and see if we could pull off our dream of homeownership in San Francisco. Having already done some reading about buying homes, it was clear to me how crucial working with the right real estate agent in all of this is. I wanted to find someone who is not only an expert in San Francisco real estate, but also youthful and well versed in modern technologies and would be easy and fun to work with. I came across Danielle through her blog, her website, her answers on Trulia, and other online reviews about her and was immediately impressed with her knowledge and enthusiasm.

Danielle was our trusted partner, from the very first consultation (to which she showed up with several binders of prepared material tailored to our situation) to recommending our excellent mortgage officer, to sending us two movie tickets when it seemed like we could use them, to the day we were holding the keys to our first home in our hands (along with -- of course! -- more nice and thoughtful gifts which I won't give away to her current and future clients).

We found our favorite property pretty early on, after seeing it during an open house. Danielle still took us to tour several others to see a good sample of what's available and in our range right now, but in the end we made an offer on our favorite house. We trusted Danielle's instincts and offered quite significantly below asking. She was right: our offer was accepted. The escrow process was dogged by difficulties caused by a seller who seemed bent on skimping on his respon

Dear Danielle,
Thank you for selling our home in San Francisco. Choosing an agent online can be difficult and I was very apprehensive about doing it that way. I can't tell you how happy we all are that we found you. Your information and professionalism throughout the whole process was crucial and we can't thank you enough. You not only got the job done in this market, you got us for MORE than we were asking! You are really a WOW!!!!

Thanks again,

Our daughter selected Danielle Lazier to be her agent when she decided to sell her condominium located on lower Nob Hill in San Francisco. We met Danielle because my husband had volunteered to help get everything in tiptop order for selling. The first thing we noticed was that Danielle had a good eye for what needed to be done such as painting, kitchen reconfiguration, floor refinishing, and she quickly went over those suggestions with us. She set a time line for completion to which we agreed.

The second thing we observed was Danielle??????s quick response time to any questions or concerns we had. She was always thorough with her information. She kept us informed as to what the San Francisco requirements were when working with contractors, and was always calm and diplomatic when any controversy came up among the various inspectors and contractors.

Danielle really seems to know the real estate market in San Francisco, and is very good at communicating that information to both the buyer and the seller. Because of all of the reasons mentioned, the condo was only on the market 10 days before a full offer came in, and the sale was completed in about a month. In this market I would say that is really something!! We would highly recommend Danielle as your agent if you are either buying or selling a property.

Hate to keep repeating what others have said already, but Danielle knows her stuff.

She sold our house for us in June-July of 2008. We initially contacted her a year prior, then took the interceding time to find our new place before putting our house in SF on the market. Still, she was very low pressure, not pushing us to get our place on the market, and she kept in contact periodically to see how we were coming on our own house hunt.

Once we were ready to list our house, she jumped to the task, creating a timeline for how things would progress once we were out, offering to-do lists and friendly nudges to keep us on track, arranged for a handyman to come in to take care of any blemishes in the property, and helped us find a painter as well as our moving company. She also was very clear about mapping out her strategy for selling the house, how it should be priced, and when to put it on the market.

After we moved out we were a little apprehensive as we were several hundred miles away, but Danielle took charge of getting the place ready, having it staged, and arranging for some last-minute repairs that cropped up. Also, she was very proactive about keeping us informed as to what was going on, and answered all of our calls promptly.

Well, long story short, she nailed it. Things worked just as she said they would. We had a ton of interest, both on broker tour and when the house was open to the public, and many showings in between. Thanks to her savvy, we got multiple offers (which in this market is no longer the norm that it was several years ago) and were able to massage two of them to sweeten the pot. We ended up accepting one from a very well qualified buyer that was significantly over our asking price. Escrow went without a hitch, and we closed slightly more than a month after the place first went on the market. We were thrilled and are very happy we went with he

Danielle came recommended to us by some good friends and we weren't disappointed! It was our first time buying a house and she provided priceless guidance, understanding and support. We felt like we were in good hands every step of the way. She helped us keep our focus to achieve our goal of owning our first home. We felt she always had our best interests at heart when negotiating on our behalf.

Although it seems crazy to think of it right now having just bought our home, we will absolutely come to her when and if we sell our home in the future. We have already recommended her to our friends and will happily continue to recommend her services.

Aside from being a savvy expert in the field, Danielle feels like a friend. She's easy to get along with, very personable and trustworthy.
