"If you're looking for the best real estate agent in San Francisco, look, no further! The team at Domicile Properties (Shane, Julie and Patty) are experts. I was so afraid that we wouldn't be able to find a real estate agent that was experienced, patient and had extensive knowledge of San Francisco property. Not only did we find that real estate agent that fit the bill, we found 3. Shane, Julie and Patty work as a team and all 3 bring different strengths to making the process of buying real estate crystal clear. Patty has been a real estate agent in San Francisco for 30+ years and has an encyclopedic knowledge of the City. Julie has an uncanny ability to advise what to offer in a multiple offer situation without leaving any money on the table and still being the winner. Shane is smart and had the patience to spend hours on the phone with me and educate me as to the process of purchasing in this crazy, confusing San Francisco market. I felt well educated by this team and when I chose the property that I bought, I knew what I was getting into and these agents made me feel comfortable and safe all the way through. You owe it to yourself to talk to these real estate agents from Domicile."

"Domicile Properties is one class act. From the initial phone call to the closing day and beyond, the Domicile team--Patty, Julie, Shane, and Ellie--provided exceptionally personalized and professional service, making the normally stressful process of purchasing a home in San Francisco a smooth and even enjoyable experience. They are a boutique real estate agency and it shows. They make you feel right at home and help you find the home that is right for you. Being out-of-town buyers, we were somewhat demanding in our schedule and requests, but they bent over backwards to accommodate us, even helping us coordinate contractor work after the property closed. We cannot recommend Domicile Properties highly enough."

"Where do I begin. WOW. My partner and I, we both now live in Los Angeles,decided to renovate and sell a rental property we had in Bernal Heights. 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.We met with Julie and Shane and immediately we knew we had found our match. Julie was so in tune with us, with our design plan. Both Shane and Julie kept checking the renovation was going as planned and on time, and when the time came to put it on the market they staged the house so amazingly I wanted to move in myself.With there knowledge of the market, expert eye and pricing right we sold the house within 4 days and were really pleased with the sale.So if you need a team with knowledge, expertise you have to choose Domicile. ( and they are fun too :-)"

"Patty and Julie are amazing. The other reviews attest to their qualifications as top-notch Realtors with incredible experience and a Rolodex which includes pretty much everyone involved in getting a house built, sold, and worked on in San Francisco. While my wife and I had a fantastic experience with Patty and Julie, we don't have anything unique to add above and beyond the stories below. In short, the entire process filled us with confidence that we had were making the right decisions, Patty and Julie were working hard for us, and we made the right choice in Domicile.The true measure of success in any service-oriented business is whether one would be a customer again. When my wife and I are looking to sell, buy again, or even just get advice on a contractor, we hope Patty and Julie will work with us again! We couldn't imagine working with anyone else."

"The entire team at Domicile (Patty, Julie, Shane and Bobby) has been the most fantastic group of real estate brokers my wife and I have ever worked with. We relocated from Boston to San Francisco, and the prospect of buying and remodeling in San Francisco (not to mention coordinating everything with the sale of our Boston condo) was daunting. We could never have made it happen without the help of everyone at Domicile.We knew right away from our initial meeting with Patty that we had found the right broker for us. We were not first-time home-buyers, but knew nothing about the San Francisco market. Patty familiarized us with the market, helped us understand what was realistic in light of our budget, and didn't seem the slightest bit fazed that we were trying to orchestrate the home-buying process while still living in Boston. We were in constant contact about our likes and dislikes, status of our Boston sale, mortgage referral (which Domicile helped set up), and expected move dates. As a result, when we came out to San Francisco for a whirlwind week of house-hunting, Shane brought us only to properties that fit our budget, preferred neighborhood, and other requirements. With the team's help, we were able to do what we had thought would be impossible: saw several places we liked, put an offer in on the one we loved, and had it accepted -- all within 24 hours. And Domicile's help didn't stop there -- everyone on the team helped us get our inspection taken care of and our renovations underway, going above and beyond the call of duty by helping us pick paint colors (thank you Julie!) and finding a flooring contractor and painter, all while we were still living in Boston. Everything was simply effortless -- definitely not a word I thought I'd use with respect to a cross-country relocation. And my wife and I could not be happier with our new place!As another reviewer said, if you're looking for a broker stop right here. Don't waste your time and call Domicile. Their personal and attentive service is second to none."

"Domicile Properties is an excellent real estate firm. You know you are in good and experienced real estate hands as soon as you walk into the office. Patty Rogers and her crew are professional, talented and, most importantly, know the SF market. They'll sit down with you and get to know you as a person, not just as a client. This helps them find the right real estate given your dreams and constraints. They closely guide you throughout the entire process---from the search, to the offer, to closing. At each point along the way, they help you consider all of the possible options when looking for new real estate. They're almost singularly dedicated to your search and finding the right property for you, pounding the pavement and staying on top of all new listings. Then they apply their years of expertise and experience to help you with the even most complicated of transactions. You don't feel like you're any less or more important than any other client. Finally, the total crew---Patty, Julie, and Shane---are the friendliest, most joyful, but serious folks in handling one of the most important decisions you'll ever make. I highly recommend working with them for all of your future real estate needs."

"We got a dream house that we can afford and it's absolutely thanks to the great team of Patty, Julie and Shane at Domicile.We had a strict deadline to finding a house and we didn't think we can make it, after working with 3 different agents for a year. Domicile delivered! The full story is that we reached out to Domicile properties when we basically gave up on real estate agents. After having worked with a few different agents in SF, we already reached the point where we didn't trust a real estate agent to add any value to the process. Patty, Julie and Shane gained our trust with their professional approach, efficiency, experience, knowledge of the market, and their great human relationships. They know the business and work hard for you (and not just send you on tours!). Equally important in San Francisco's crazy market - other real estate agents like doing business with Domicile because they get it done, they are fair and honest. So when you need the deal to close, it gets done. And if there are problems, they are very good about solving them. They'll answer all your question, have endless patience, watch your back and be there when things get complicated. I'd never buy another place without them."

"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. Domicile was very helpful in providing guidance and answering questions and we never felt pressured to act. Once we did find a house we wanted to place an offer on they provided a clear explanation of the process and were prompt in delivering our offer (the seller had a deadline for receiving offers). When our offer was accepted Domicile set up the inspections (both the general home and pest/structural inspectors were very thorough and provided clear explanations of their findings). Since this was an older house they recommended having a sewer line inspection which showed that there was root intrusion - we never would have know about this until it completely backed up.In general we felt that everyone at Domicile was very knowledgeable and helpful. They were responsive, provided great advice, and we really felt that they genuinely were interested in helping get the best house for us. Also I appreciate that they were pretty honest and told us what they thought (ultimately it was up to make the decisions as it should be). Once we found the house things went very fast so it was reassuring to have someone who could tell us what to expect and to answer any questions in real time.We were able to find our house very quickly and I think part of this was that we had a very clear idea of what we were looking for (location, size of house/# of rooms, style, etc.) given our budget. Domicile can be a great help in finding the right house but you need to have a clear and realistic understanding of what you want given your budget. If you are not sure then Domicile can help refine this (especially with the "realistic" part). Once you have that worked out Domicile can make the rest of the process much easier. Highly recommended!"

"My fiancee and I were glad that we chose Domicile to help us find our first home together. We appreciated that each member of the team brought a different perspective and different strengths: Patty is expert at assessing the value and resale potential of properties, and advising how much to bid; Julie has a great sense of what a place would be like to live in, and what could be done to improve it; Shane did a thorough job of walking us through the paperwork, procedures, and logistics and explaining the meaning of the more esoteric details. The entire team is professional and responsive, and we will use them again when it comes time to move."

"We just closed on our house a week ago in Diamond Heights. Patty, Julie, and Shane couldn’t have made the buying experience more positive. They work so well as a team. They ensured that all of our questions were answered (no matter what time of day), and that all of our needs / wants were met.One example of how they go above and beyond didn’t even happen until after we closed. One might assume that once you close you never hear from your agents again, but quite to the contrary, the domicile team has helped us just as much since we closed. Both Julie and Shane have continued to support us in getting contractors, negotiating, and providing remodel advice. It has been so helpful having experts advising the whole way.My wife and I can say without a doubt that we wholeheartedly recommend using Domicile Properties to purchase or sell your next house (I know we will)."
