RON IS HANDS DOWN THE BEST AGENT I’VE EVER MET

Ron is hands down the best agent I’ve ever met, and really can’t speak highly enough about him. He’s knowledgable about the market, savvy in negotiations, and he thinks very long term — he doesn’t seek to make a quick buck from client, but instead prioritizing finding the very best situation he can for them…

BUSINESS SAAVY COMBINED WITH DEEP COMMITMENT TO HIS CLIENTS

Working with Ron Abta both to buy our first condo when we first entered the market, and later to sell it this year (while balancing Shelter In Place requirements with ease and respect for safety and protocol) was a dream experience. His business saavy combined with deep commitment to his clients makes something that could…

HE GAVE US THE CONFIDENCE WE NEEDED TO PUT IN AN OFFER AT A GREAT PRICE THAT WAS SUCH A GOOD DEAL

Ron and the Polaris team were invaluable at helping my family (1) secure the perfect home for our family (we have challenging requirements, especially for San Francisco), and (2) identify a great investment opportunity in it. We toured several homes from May through August of 2020, so it was a challenging time in the mid…

WORKING WITH RON IS A REMINDER THAT THERE ARE GREAT PROFESSIONALS STILL OUT THERE

When you’re going to spend an insane amount of cash on a house, you want Ron in your corner helping. He helps make it feel like a positive experience, rather than the financial trainwreck you’d obsess about if you didn’t have him there to guide you. He’s extremely knowledgeable about the market and the value…

WE FOUND ONE IN RON.

Decent real estate brokers are, almost literally, a dime a dozen in SF. We were looking for one that stood out as exceptional. We found one in Ron. He was the one scampering under our house to get to the crawl space by the lightwell in the basement to clean the window just a little…

FIVE-STAR RATING, SLAM DUNK!

My wife and I were recommended to Ron by other people who have worked with him in the past. Five-star rating, slam dunk! He is probably the smartest RE agent you could find in the Bay Area (MBA from Stanford!) which pays off big-time. Here’s a quick example: he took the time to join the…

RON IS THE BEST.

Ron is the best. My wife and I just bought a house with Ron’s help. The search process took around a year. After looking for a year in Pac Heights, Laurel Heights, Lake, Inner Richmond, Cole Valley, Ashbury Heights, and Noe Valley, we finally ended up in a place in the Inner Richmond that we…

RON IS A VERY COMMUNICATIVE AND DEDICATED AGENT

This past spring, Ron helped me purchase a property in Lower Pacific Heights. I was particularly thankful to have Ron by my side during the bidding process – he calmly walked me through all the decisions I had to make after I’d decided on the amount to bid. He was detail-oriented and answered all my…

THE GUY TOTALLY KILLED IT, WOULD RECOMMEND TO ANYONE.

Ron recently helped me buy my first house in San Francisco (and first house ever) – I can definitively say that if he wasn’t in my court, I’d probably still be looking at throwing offers into the wind. When I selected Ron as my realtor, it came down to one thing, trust. I had met…

RON IS WHAT REAL ESTATE AGENTS SHOULD BE

Ron is what real estate agents should be — truly works on your behalf and patiently guides you through the entire process knowing when to push and when to just hold your hand. Ron came to me highly recommended by close friends who used Ron himself to close on their own home. Never has a…

I WOULD RECOMMEND RON AS HE IS A SMART DOWN TO EARTH, SELF MADE, STANFORD MBA

I purchased my first house in SAN Francisco with Ron in 2008. I met Ron two years prior when I had a very limited budget. At that time, and over the years, Ron had patiently taken time with us, showing us a full range of good investment fixers while always being mindful of our constraints…

RON ABTA IS A ROCK STAR

Ron Abta is a rock star, plain and simple. He has marketing skills that blow everyone else out of the water. House sold in 2 weeks with 4 offers above asking, and in a jittery market, too. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

I’D RECOMMEND HIM WHOLEHEARTEDLY FOR BUYERS OR SELLERS.

Ten years later and we worked with Ron again to sell our condo. We knew we’d work with him again, given our fantastic experience with him when he represented us as buyers. With this sale, we got the white glove treatment again. And though he now has a “team” working with him, we always felt…

IT WAS A PLEASURE WORKING WITH RON.

Ron helped us sell our house in SF at a much higher price than listed or expected. Specific things that Ron did made all the difference. Ron worked with us to show off the house to best advantage – recommending updates, coordinating the work, and getting the house staged with an excellent sense for leveraging…

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

My wife and I bought our first home in Noe Valley with Ron’s help, a fairly complicated TIC transaction. Being first time buyers, we were extremely nervous on many fronts: would a TIC work for us? Was THIS the house we should buy? There was a tremendous amount of anxiety. Ron acted as our guide…

SERIOUSLY, THE TWO OF US WILL MISS TALKING TO RON EVERY DAY.

My boyfriend and I were really thorough in picking the right real estate agent for us. We interviewed several people (all of whom had excellent yelp ratings) and were having a hard time choosing. Until we met Ron. He put us at ease immediately, and I could tell that he was really willing and eager…

RON WAS ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIC

Ron was absolutely terrific. My wife and I recently bought our first home with Ron’s help.

We agree wholeheartedly with all the other reviews: Ron is smart, reliable, has…

I CAN ONLY SAY: THANK YOU RON FOR HELPING US

My wife and I worked with Ron off and on for about 2 years as we looked for our ideal home in Noe. When one finally came up (a rare foreclosure near 24th Street), Ron was able to get us in to look at the place that same day, and we submitted our bid that…

I WOULD ABSOLUTELY 100% RECOMMEND RON AS A REALTOR.

I would absolutely 100% recommend Ron as a realtor. Ron is smart, patient and trustworthy. He helped me last month buy a condo in the City. As a first-time home buyer, I was pretty ignorant of the process as well as nervous. While I did my own self-education, Ron was very patient and detailed in…

I had the pleasure of working with Ron recently and actually found him through Yelp. I wanted a broker with brains and dedication and that’s him.

I CAN’T RECOMMEND RON HIGHLY ENOUGH

I can’t recommend Ron highly enough. My fiance and I just bought our first house with Ron and he was invaluable throughout the process. I have to admit, coming into the process we were a bit skeptical of the value (or lack thereof) that some real estate agents add, after having heard stories from friends,…

I CAN CLEARLY SEE WHY HE HAS EARNED HIS 5 STAR RATING
