Where to begin. I have been procrastinating on this review for a long time, and I think it is because I am actually sad that we won’t be in contact with this wonderful business on a daily basis anymore. The story:

About a month and a half ago, my wife and I decided to look into buying a house. We had not even a speck of knowledge about what this would entail, but with positive attitudes and optimism galore, we decided to call Domicile, recommended to me by a friend. From the first phone call, I knew we were in the right hands.

It’s just weeks after moving into a new house. I have a toddler and a full time job. So, it takes something truly amazing to make me want to write a yelp review instead of snuggle into bed. And, Domicile Properties is truly amazing. We found them through these Yelp reviews, so I guess we owe it to the Yelp community to add our 2-cents.

I just bought myself a house in San Francisco and I still can’t quite believe it.  A few months back when I first started looking, I had no idea which realtor to use.  I hopped on various websites and frankly didn’t know whom to trust, whom to believe — it all looked like a bunch of false blah blah from people desperate for my money — and most of them frankly creeped me out and/or had really bad hair and capped teeth.  Full disclosure:  I work in marketing so I’m afraid I’m hyper-sensitive to marketers whose sales pitch is all they got.

We interview a couple of realtors to see who we felt could best assist us as it was going to be more than just “selling the house” We needed someone to be our eyes and ears with the contractor we had chosen.

As a former real estate agent in NYC I came into this with high expectations. Patty and Julie lived up to them. They understood what we were looking for and consistently put us in front of good opportunites. They brought a high level of service and commitment and throughout the process they were knowledgeable and professional. We’ll definitely use them to sell and buy again.

I had been kind of casually looking at real estate in the Bay Area, particularly in San Francisco, for the past couple of years. At the start of 2010, when some of my employment uncertainty became certain again, I started to search more earnestly, using sites like Redfin and ZipRealty to find properties, locate open houses, watch price trends, etc. At some point in February, I decided that looking for real estate by checking out websites was not enough, and I needed help. I had recently had a good experience looking on Yelp for auto repair (the first time I had used Yelp to find a service and not just a restaurant), so I looked under real estate agents, and I found Domicile Properties. And I am so glad I did!

When my boyfriend and I decided to buy our first home, I freaked out a little. I’m a bit of a control freak, but had almost zero knowledge about real estate market or home-buying in general. Not a good situation for someone like me!

After we spoke to a few agents, we met with Patty. Let me tell you, nobody could have puts me as ease the way she did.

Patty, Julie, Shane, and Ellie were absolutely fantastic to work with and we can’t recommend them highly enough.

We just closed on our first house yesterday and I wanted to say what a great experience we had working with Patty, Julie, and Shane. We knew from our research that buying a house in SF is still pretty competitive and we wanted an agent who was patient enough to give us the guidance we needed as first time home buyers but was also savvy enough to give us an edge in a competitive market.

Based on the overwhelmingly positive Yelp reviews, my boyfriend and I decided to try Domicile when we started looking for our first home. About 30 seconds into our first meeting with Patty, we knew we had made the right decision. She listened to what we wanted, put us at ease, told us we weren’t crazy when we told her our price range, made some suggestions, and sent us out to look at some open houses that very day. She even recommended an amazing mortgage broker who we got pre-approved with later that week.

Buying a house in San Francisco is something like getting dropped into the middle of the Serengeti with instructions to go bag a wildebeest. Difficult, even in the best of times, and in the bad times, well, you end up wandering around in dazed circles and slowly die of thirst.

Domicile Properties is the best real estate firm you’re going to come across, period. My husband and I decided we wanted to buy property last fall. We also knew that the property we wanted was going to be unusual and a bit off the beaten path, and that we’d have to wait a while until we found it. While most Realtors like to shoehorn buyers into a sale as quickly as possible so they can move on to the next one, Patty and Julie understood what we were looking for and stuck with us for many moons, fielding us properties and advice the entire time.

They are also lots of fun and very well respected in their profession — a real asset to the process!

Patty was my realtor when I bought my house in 1996. Patty knew the house was for me during the first Broker Open House (Tuesday) and helped me get my offer accepted before the first Open House (Sunday).

This is all ancient history now — before Domicile and Julie. But through the years, Patty, Julie and everyone at Domicile have been a wonderful resource for real estate questions and repair and maintenance issues.

I know that I will call Patty and Domicile when it’s time to sell my home.

There’s so much more to getting a home happily sold than a “for sale” sign.

From the moment I first opened my door to Julie and Patty all the way to the moment I closed it for the last time and handed the keys over to the new owners, I felt blessed to have “Team Domicile” in my corner.

My husband and I met Julie at an open house in Ashbury Heights about 6 years ago. We were the sort of couple that would check the MLS Listings and avoided realtors at any cost until we met Julie and Patty. We were impressed with their professionalism and expertise in the local San Francisco real-estate market. When it came time to sell our condo in Pacific Heights, we credit their marketing efforts, staging, and suggested list price, for the 200 interested buyers that toured in the first weekend. Our condo ended up selling in two weeks.

As a first time buyer who had been looking at the market for 3 years now, I followed the yelp reviews to Patty and Julie. Interestingly, I noticed that most people that review their realtors give 5 stars (you’ll no doubt notice that all the realtors have 5 stars!!!) meaning if they posted for them, they gave them a rave review, if they didn’t like them, they generally did not post. My guess – the client realtor relationship is personal enough where they feel awkward or uneasy posting anything negative or only slightly positive. With this in mind I went with the realtor with the most 5 star reviews, Patty and Julie.
