Client Testimonials

Serendipity is the best! My husband and I were walking slowly down the block of 17th Street in our first weekend of house-hunting, heads oscillating in search of the open house we’d seen advertised. As we passed by, a man in a suit said, “You look like you’re looking for a condo!” “We are!” It was Raul Isais, and he was showing another place across the street from the one we’d ventured out to see. While we didn’t buy any of the places we eventually saw on 17th Street, after meeting numerous agents at various open houses, we circled back to “Real Estate Raul” to represent us. Raul is as dynamic and affable as he is hard-working, an outgoing go-getter and all-around charmer. He was absolutely fantastic to work with. He insisted on showing us any property we were serious about at various times of the day, during the week and on the weekend, and walking around the neighborhood to get a feel for life there. It was Raul’s advice that got us the condo we just moved into for a deal; without his keen strategizing, we very well may have lost our dream home! Raul’s a fab agent and a great guy—he’s just the best!

Life can become difficult as you age, particularly when retiring to a nursing home. Raul Isais went out of his way to assist with the research and movement of personal effects to our new home. He checked out the homes and made his recommendation, ensuring that the necessary furniture was moved to our new address.

The movers broke my recliner during the move, but Raul went above and beyond to find me a replacement. He also arranged for my husband to get a new bed. The process of refinishing floors, painting, and photographing was handled by Raul as well. The photos were posted online so everyone could see how beautiful our unit looked, which proved to be a valuable asset in helping to sell our home.

Negotiations began and progressed over time. The buyer was initially reluctant to meet our requested price, but through continued negotiation, Raul worked with us to reach a mutually agreed-upon final price.

The preparation and sale involved many steps and procedures. Raul was recommended by a close personal friend, and his expertise and dedication were outstanding. We can honestly say he has become one of our closest friends and confidants.

I will gladly recommend him to any and all friends.

When I first saw the listing for my current condo, I immediately called Vanguard the minute they opened. Raul answered the phone, and I told him about the property. We toured it that afternoon and put in an offer the next day, finally closing a little less than 30 days later.

Raul had no problem working with my admittedly aggressive scheduling for acquiring the property. As a matter of fact, such a schedule would have been much more difficult to achieve without his diligence and intimate knowledge of the SF real estate landscape.

Throughout the entire process, Raul was sure to look out for my best interests and was very communicative about each step. He even found an error in one of the documents that had been overlooked by countless others.

Would I work with Raul again? Without a doubt! A+++++++++
