It is so difficult to put my gratitude into words for Laena and how seamless she made our first home buying experience. We absolutely love our new home, and working with her was a dream. She truly knows the Bay Area housing market through and through. If you are looking for a realtor in the SF area, look no further! She's amazing.

We loved working with Laena. She is kind, reliable, and honest. It was evident from every interaction that Laena put our needs above her own. She never pressured us and was always available when we needed her. As a native of San Francisco, Laena had extensive knowledge of the Bay Area and a good pulse on the market. We think the world of Laena and would recommend her to anyone.

Laena worked with us on weekends, and even on a federal holiday to help us find a fantastic single family home in SF. When we started to submit offers, she advised us with very accurate offers amounts in a market where listing prices were all but useless. Our needs and desires changed throughout our search and she helped us with re-evaluating what we wanted. She also found our lender for us, who was incredibly helpful in a quick underwriting process.

My wife and I recently had the absolute pleasure of working with Laena Wilder, who helped us find and purchase our dream home in the Bernal Heights neighborhood of San Francisco. From the moment we met her, we knew we were in good hands! Throughout the process she consistently exceeded our expectations. Laena has a great knowledge of the Bernal Heights neighborhood, which was evident from the moment we started discussing our home preferences. She effortlessly guided us through the ins and outs of the area, providing in-depth insights into the local housing market, nearby amenities, and the overall community vibe. We really appreciated Laenas meticulous attention to detail. She took the time to understand our needs, ensuring that each house we viewed was a potential fit for our family. Her critical eye during house tours was much appreciated, and helped us identify what we were, and werent, willing to compromise on during our search aEUR" as well as many things we simply didnt know to look for as first time home buyers. This level of dedication not only saved us valuable time but also gave us the confidence that she was genuinely invested in finding us the perfect home. We were impressed by Laena's availability and sense of urgency. No matter the time of day or day of the week, she was always reachable and eager to help us with any questions or concerns we had. She treated our house hunt as if it were her top priority, and her responsiveness made us feel like we were her only clients, despite knowing she had a full schedule. Another aspect of Laena's exceptional service was her data-centered approach. Her immense knowledge of the real estate market was apparent as she skillfully analyzed comparable properties, recent sales data, and trends. This strategy provided us with a comprehensive understanding of property values in the area, enabling us to make informed decisions throughout the negotiation process. This felt especially important in the Bay Area market where listing strategies can vary greatly, making the numbers on the screen hard to interpret without comps and context. Her frank opinions and advice (while always being respectful of our budget guideline) paid off aEUR" we offered at a fair price and got the home we loved! A final major strength of Laenas was her ability to work harmoniously with the selling agent. Throughout the negotiation process, it was evident that she had cultivated close, positive relationships with other San Francisco agents, and this proved to be a tremendous advantage. Her communication and rapport-building with the selling agent played a crucial role in securing our dream home. When we were in negotiations, she worked hard to get us the deal we wanted, keeping our best interests at heart while maintaining a level of respect and cooperation with the other party. This collaborative approach not only facilitated a smooth transaction but also created a positive atmosphere, making the entire experience much more enjoyable for everyone involved. In conclusion, we highly recommend Laena to anyone in search of their dream home in San Francisco, especially in Bernal Heights. Her knowledge, attention to detail, availability, sense of urgency, and data-centered approach kept us level-headed through the whole process. Her expertise, warm personality, and unwavering commitment to our happiness made her an invaluable asset to our home-buying journey. We are so grateful to her for helping us find the home of our dreams and making it a reality.
