"William was great as our selling agent, he seemed to be always available. Everything happened in the time frame exactly as he described it. Advised us on pricing which led to multiple offers over asking. Put up with our anxieties and concerns and had a great sense of humor throughout. And when we had moved out of town, he met with contractors and inspectors without our having to manage the process. We would work with William again in a heart-beat."

We decided to sell our loft when the condo market had just began to soften. William was strategic with his pricing to ensure we get the proceeds we wanted. When we encountered unforeseen obstacles, William never lost his cool, and helped navigate us to our end goal, the sale. As we began our search for a new home, William tirelessly handheld us through many home tours, and offered valuable advice about each prospective home. His detailed comps were instrumental in developing realistic offers and ultimately a winning offer. Despite being a bit of a control freak, I completely trusted William's judgement and execution. We went through a careful initial selection process when choosing an agent, and in the end, William outperformed in all criteria. He is reliable, responsive, and consistent with his approach. He is experienced, knowledgeable, and very accurate with his market comps. He has the range to handle transactions of all sizes, and throughout varying neighborhoods/cities. He has the skills and the composure to navigate through complex deals. * He is well connected, and offered us numerous resources to simplify our lives during a disruptive transition. I've worked with a number of real estate agents in my lifetime, and hands down William is as good as it gets."

"William provided excellent service while under time pressure. I was renting a place for $5000/month. Everything was going fine until the landlord raised the rent to 6200 which I could not afford.

I was renting a place for $5000/month. Everything was going fine until the landlord raised the rent to 6200 which I could not afford. This left me 60 days to find a new living situation. After deciding that it was time to buy, I found William on another property listing and interviewed him with my parents and decided to go with him based on his knowledge of the market and him providing realistic expectations. He put me on plan of getting me pre approved first from a lender and once that happened we went looking for a property. William provided excellent service by picking me up on time and taking care of the scheduling for seeing places. I only had to show up which was nice. We found one property that I liked for 800K. Against his realistic advice I offered below market at $750K and did not get the property. On the next property we saw the list price was $780K. After a detailed comps analysis that William put together he suggested I offer $780K, my budget was $800K which seemed fair which I did. The seller than countered $825K. William using his negotiating skills believed that this offer was not entirely credible and that the property was not worth that and that I should not pay that. Therefore, after in depth discussion we offered $790K and got the property. William essentially was right on the money on this one and I got a great condo in nob hill. After hearing horror stories of people taking 6 months to find a place William found me a place that had everything I needed quickly and at market price. I would therefore highly recommend William for you real estate needs."

"It was my first home sale, and William provided the guidance to help me get it done right. He's been doing this a while, he's confident, knowledgeable, and his end results selling back it all up. With his advice, he helped me avoid many pitfalls, notably surrounding staging, painting, popcorn removal, general upgrades, and selling logistics. He worked with me to find the right listing and selling price. I know without a doubt we got the high end of what the market was willing to offer. He always responded promptly to my emails, phone calls, and when it came time to being onsite for open houses and private showings, he was always early, making sure everything was setup and looking great before the engagement. I'd recommend William in a second, and would feel lucky to be able to have him as my selling agent the next time around."

As a long-time resident of San Francisco, I was impressed with his knowledge of all neighborhoods and their pros and cons as well his ability to find properties appropriate to my needs and desires. His expertise in guiding me through the process was crucial. He always answered questions and met requests cheerfully and patiently and, most important, was successful in a difficult negotiation to win the bidding process for the purchase of the perfect property. Through the entire process William was kind, patient, courteous and the ultimate gentleman. I would always want William on my team and recommend him to anyone purchasing property in the Bay Area and he will be my first call when it is time to sell my current home."

"With William's tireless help, I just closed on the sale of my condo at Alamo Square. This sale had challenges going into it , on both sides, and William didn't hesitate to take on the challenge. From my being in Chapter 13 bankruptcy to the buying party's bank not wanting to write a loan because of my HOA's method of securing its liability insurance, William was masterful at getting past these hurdles as well as others that came up along the way. Adding to the stress, I moved cross country and started a new job before the condo was sold. He was able to leave me out of most of the day to day hassles and only involve me when absolutely needed keeping my already high stress level from skyrocketing. William knows his stuff, and I have no doubt that this sale finally closed only because of his experience, resources and dedication. I would recommend him to others in a heartbeat."

"Its been about 15 days since I moved into new home with my roommate and each day we love our home/household more and more. Moving took a lot of time and energy but it was worth every bit of effort. This dream come true would not have happened without the intelligence, insight, and fortitude of my amazing real estate agent, William Freeman. He made a commitment to help me and never gave up. Prior to this, I almost gave up due to exhaustion and feeling near hopeless against all odds in a housing market fraught with maddening competition, exorbitant home pricing, and a dearth of real estate properties. Not to mention, agents who were not as skilled in helping find the home of my dreams. William changed all of that within one month of a miracle move towards home ownership. I will always be ever grateful to William for persevering with me in the most difficult of real estate markets here in San Francisco, California. Gratefully."

""Wow! I can't say enough about Mr. William Freeman and what he meant for me and my family as we attempted to purchase our first home. To compound it, we were buying our first home in the San Francisco Bay Area. It was important to us that we had an agent who could identify with us. After searching online, I came across Mr. Freeman's profile. His reviews were stellar so I thought, let's go with him. I contacted Mr. Freeman via email and the response was almost immediate. Our first meeting was at our apartment, and it was evident that Mr. Freeman was the right choice. He listened attentively to our needs and what we could afford. He never pressured us in one direction or the other but offered advice based on his expertise of what he would do if he was in our situation. Throughout the entire process, he maintained this. Always advising, never pressuring. Mr. Freeman kept us grounded, even when we became impatient or despondent when our offers were rejected or when we were outbid. A few things I appreciated about Mr. Freeman. He was honest with us throughout the process. He was reliable and ALWAYS on time. He was absolutely knowledgeable about real estate in the Bay Area. As evidence of this, we have gone back to Mr. Freeman several times just to ask him questions about Bay Area real estate. Even with no obligation to respond, he does, and his responses are thoughtful and resourceful. We highly recommend Mr. Freeman, and wish him all the best as he continues to serve his clients.""

That same year we bought our first home but in hindsight, we passed on a great opportunity to work with a wonderful realtor as Bistra. Luckily, we reconnected at the right time in 2021 when we were looking to sell our first home as well as buy our second home. Ours was a very unique situation given that we were trying to buy a new home before we could sell our existing home. Our budget was very tight and it involved a lot of work to find the right home in the competitive Bay area market. However, Bistra was up to the task consistently guiding us through the process, and patiently touring so many homes with us. Bistra is a very astute realtor who works on your side because there were so many instances when gave us the right input preventing us from making the wrong decision. She was fully committed to making sure we end up happy with our home purchase. Unfortunately, we could not find the home we wanted and decided to rent. However, we were absolutely sure that we wanted Bistra to be our seller agent to sell our current home. The outcome was beyond our expectations and we are so glad that we decided to work together again. Bistra ensured we did not overspend beyond our budget for home sales and priced the home smartly for maximum buyer attention. She even helped us select the right stagers with modern taste and an amazing photographer who made our home look stunning. In a soft SF condo market, she was able to get us multiple offers within the first week. We decided to hold an offer date 10 days after our listing, and the final offer was exactly what she had promised us. We would definitely be using her services when we buy our second home. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a buyer/seller agent who partners with her clients every step of the way."

What stood out was Bistra dedication, and we felt confident as would catch problems we might have overlooked. We felt assured when she would draw attention to critical details in the offers we made. She has proved we can trust her in the intricacies of the bidding process for properties we liked, and at the end she guided us in the barrage of documentation that an actual purchase had involved. We highly recommend Bistra and plan to work with her again.”"

""I highly recommend Bistra to anyone who is looking to buy a home in San Francisco. We are so grateful to Bistra for helping us to buy our first home that we love. The San Francisco real estate market is notoriously competitive, and we were feeling very overwhelmed and stressed out. However, Bistra quickly put us at ease and made us feel confident that we could find a home that we loved and could afford. Bistra was incredibly knowledgeable about the San Francisco real estate market, and she was able to quickly identify the neighborhoods that would be a good fit for us. She took the time to understand our needs and wants and was always proactive in answering our questions. I especially appreciated Bistra's patience and understanding. We know that we were a lot to handle as first time buyers, but she never made us feel like we were asking too many questions or being too picky. As first time buyers we were unsure of exactly what we wanted. Bistra scheduled viewings and worked with us to discover just that. She advised on the process of getting the best deal with the lenders, through to making the offer, negotiating the offer, and closing on the home. All the way to moving in. She always went the extra mile." "

""Bistra is a proactive agent who is willing and capable of taking on and completing major remodeling projects in a short period of time. Project management and budgeting was an enormous task and Bistra moved those projects to completion on schedule. While some projects went over budget (as might be expected), Bistra always worked with me to ensure that costs did not get beyond what I could afford to pay while still paying my living expenses over several months. I thought we made a good team and when I was stressing she was the calm in the storm, always taking my calls and following through to quickly resolve issues at hand. I was always impressed by Bistra’s professionalism and would recommend her to anyone.""

She responds immediately, about everything and anything you need to know. She makes sure you always know what's going on and her explanations are clear and concise. - She's organized and thorough. We get every document from her in a timely manner that allowed us to make smart, well-informed decisions. She provides extra value above and beyond her competitors. When we didn't have time to talk to contractors, inspectors or our lenders, Bistra advocated and negotiated on our behalf with numerous third parties. As we all know, buying or selling a property is an excruciating process and she beares most of the burden for you. Highly recommend!""

She's been incredibly responsive and consultative. Even after the property closed she's continued to go out of her way to keep in touch and offer her expertise/advice in helping us set up an HOA and rent out to tenants. She also took some amazing pictures of the property in her free time on her professional camera to help us out after the fact. I can't say enough great things about my experience working with Bistra and would be happy to refer her to any of my own friends""

I am a first time home buyer in this crazy SF market, and Bistra has been scouting 4-5 houses a week (sometimes more!!). She is available day or night - by phone, email, even text. I've never once had a message go unanswered - and often her responses are within 15 minutes! She is super knowledgeable about the housing market, how to make an aggressive offer, and putting together a good packet for sellers. She also has lots of connections - to contractors, financial planners, and mortgage lending firms. She is a true advocate and I feel always has my family's best interests at heart. After 9 long months of looking due to my tiny budget, Bistra helped me find my dream house!! Just closed last week and I couldn't be happier. I cannot recommend Bistra enough!! Definitely work with her if you get the opportunity - she will work her butt off for you! Thank you"
