This is my third time working with Rebecca (representing me as both a buyer and a seller). Rebecca did a fantastic job - this transaction was selling a piece of vacant land in unincorporated Sonoma County, she fielded many calls from potential buyers wanting to know details about the land and what was buildable. She kept track of all the interest in the property so when an offer came in she immediately let others that were interested in the property know and we ended up getting 3 competitive offers, she helped me navigate the pros and cons of the different offers to a great outcome. Will work with Rebecca again.

Rebecca Brooks, our rock star realtor. Where to begin?Rebecca helped us buy this cool Queen Anne Victorian in San Francisco by the Four Seasons houses in summer of 2023! Of course, we had our checklist of things we wanted: location, size, multi-unit, garage, backyard, preferable old & victorian...Did she deliver, yes!Was it easy, no, but so worth it!Starting out we toured many places, some we liked, some we didn't and some sold too fast. Fortunately, we stumbled across the right place at the right time and we connected with the sellers. However, Rebecca had her hands full with this deal and she certainly knows how to handle delicate situations professionally. Rebecca worked for 3 months with us figuring out how we could make the sale work for us.We overcame many obstacles, dealing with unfortunate breach of contract due to tenancy situation, the sellers having a reverse mortgage $$$, trying to avoid a short sale, helping us coordinate all of the inspections. She connected us with the right attorneys to maneuver these situations.She has a strong network of lawyers, architects, contractors, mortgage brokers all local to SF that one would need at every step of buying a house. She also has strong connections with local inspectors we needed before contingency removal of a house that would help with home inspection, pest inspection, roof and structural reports, sewer lateral etc.She will tell you when you need to act fast on a property(to propose the best offer in a bidding situation) vs when you can take some time with inspections and contingency removals.Rebecca is super smart and great at giving advice when it comes to handling tricky situations. She was on top of comps with every house and figuring out how to get a great deal. She understood our style well with the kind of house we wanted to be in and made it a priority in recommending certain houses.She pointed us in the right direction where we should go to get more detailed answers regarding more obscure questions, like the building dept, city planning and rental board- all you'd need to know to be a landlord in SF.Rebecca continues to be helpful even after close of escrow. She still answers any questions we might have regarding the property, renovations or being a homeowner.Wow, did we learn a lot! Rebecca is extremely knowledgeable, diligent, hard working and persistent. What a journey buying our first house was and she held our hand every step of the way. We are so grateful our friend recommended Rebecca Brooks to us as our realtor. She will be a forever friend and we are so happy with the house she helped us buy! Without her we would not have landed our dream home here in SF
