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…

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…

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 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…

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…
