I can't recommend Lance more highly for buying or selling your San Francisco home. He has helped our family purchase two different homes in San Francisco over the years, and his extensive knowledge and experience with the local neighborhood helped us win the negotiations in both cases. When it came time to sell our house last month-in a rapidly changing market with rising interest rates-Lance was a superstar! He provided valuable advice on how to get our house ready for sale, facilitated renovations, and recommended a list price backed up by research and comps that put our house in an optimal position. To top it off, we had already moved abroad and were on pins and needles about how to manage things from afar. Lance's communication was seamless and he was always available to chat or do a video call, reassuring us that our house was in the best hands possible. How did it go? Well, the res…

To top it off, we had already moved abroad and were on pins and needles about how to manage things from afar. Lance's communication was seamless and he was always available to chat or do a video call, reassuring us that our house was in the best hands possible. How did it go? Well, the results speak for themselves. While comparable SFHs in our area have languished on the market and had to drop their list prices over the past month, our house received non-contingent offers within 11 days, and Lance's experience and negotiation skills resulted in a fantastic price in this challenging market. Anyone can sell a house during boom times, but how many agents are equally successful during a downturn? Lance has seen all the ups and downs of San Francisco real estate, and he will put his knowledge to work for you! And as the cherry on top, Lance is just a genuinely nice person and a wonderful human being whom we feel lucky to have known during our years in San Francisco. He has our highest endorsement. Thank you for everything, Lance!
After having relocated from Germany to the Bay Area, all that was missing to make our California dream perfect was finding the right home in San Francisco; But chances to find a suitable apartment in a great location with no need for repairs combined with a 2-car garage were few. We actually felt quite overwhelmed being first-time home buyers in an extremely competitive market where open houses felt more like crowded house parties. Talking to realtor during those occasions never let us take the next step. Except when we met Craig: From the very beginning he gave us the feeling of being the right person for us. He adjusted to our specific needs without over-promising, he was always available for us and introduced us to spots of the city that only locals know and he moved extremely quickly at the right moments. Long story short: he found the perfect home for us in one of the best neighborh…

Long story short: he found the perfect home for us in one of the best neighborhoods in the City. And now when we enjoy the view over downtown San Francisco and the Bay from the living room of our completely renovated condo, we are thinking how did we make this happen by paying less than the asking price? We know that it was Craig, a true gem of his guild and a great friend whom we will always recommend if somebody needs an experienced realtor who knows how to handle the tough real estate market in San Francisco.
I cannot say enough good things about Craig Johnson. As a first-time homebuyer, I had a lot of questions and Craig had the answers and the patience needed to walk me through them. His knowledge of mortgages, HOA's, condos vs. TIC's, etc. were invaluable. The personal care he provided was unparalleled-I cannot imagine another agent could have provided the care that Craig did. His intrapersonal intelligence is exceptional, as he was able to put me at ease when I felt overwhelmed and to anticipate my needs and concerns, answering questions before they were even asked. He really helped me to separate out "first time buyer jitters" from actual concerns allowing me to make good decisions along the way to the right home. Once my offer was accepted and everything started moving quickly, Craig guided me through every step of the process, and by that time, I trusted his guidance explicitly for eve…

Once my offer was accepted and everything started moving quickly, Craig guided me through every step of the process, and by that time, I trusted his guidance explicitly for every decision until the day escrow closed. But it didn't stop there-after everything closed, Craig made sure everything was as we anticipated going above and beyond to make sure I was happy in my new home. Needless to say, in addition to being a wonderful agent, Craig is also a wonderful human being who is warm, intelligent and witty. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking to buy a new place to call home.
Honestly, as I went through and selected those stars, above, I selected 5 for each category without hesitation. I bought my first home with Lance and Dan this month after many months of looking. I was most impressed by Lance's knowledge of the market and relationships with other agents, and his accuracy in knowing how most situations would turn out. I felt that Lance (who I worked with most closely) had my best interests at heart, and he kept sight of them throughout the process. For me this process was a bit of a leap of faith, never having done it before. There are lots of details and jargon that I found very intimidating. Lance was always available to answer any question or define any process for me. He never seemed put out by my frequent questions, and I always felt that he was my advocate during this process. Lance guided me through the pre-approval and escrow process and has gone a…

I really cannot say enough how highly I recommend these guys. I would work with them again any time. I really trust them very much.
