Barbagelata Real Estate Group

Sandy did a great job in helping us sell our house. We created a schedule for getting the house ready to put on the market and with Sandy's help that schedule was adhered to. The contractors that worked on the house were people Sandy had worked with for years so she knew what we could expect from them. If any of the work needed to be delayed Sandy was "on top" of it and she worked out the best alternative.

She set the house at a fair price and so there was immediate activity and competing offers.

Sandy was always available to us. I highly recommend Sandy Gondolfo.

Want someone to celebrate your successes as if they're her own? Looking for someone who speaks in plain language, who's patient and not afraid to tell the truth? Jaime's awesome.

I wasn't really looking when I fell in love with a condo that I knew I'd never get. Imagine my shock when it became mine!?

Jaime handled every hiccup like a true professional. Thank you!!

I recently had an opportunity to work with Jaime Watson.

My first impression of Jaime was "What a nice gal!". Then I quickly found that Jaime is great communicator with matriculas sense to customer needs. She is relentless in pursuit for details and perfection. She is a Doer!

She is most personable and delightful to work with. She is very efficient, effective and most of all, she has my best interest at heart.

Jaime is a reliable and trustworthy friend! I highly recommend Jaime for your
property needs.

Jaime would definitely be my first choice, no questions asked. She is trustworthy, hardworking, and experienced, which is of utmost importance when choosing a realtor to help you make a purchase. Two thumbs up.

My husband and I used Jaime as our agent for selling our condo in South Beach, and were so happy with her services that we also used her to represent us for buying our new home in Noe Valley. When searching for the right agent, our top priorities were 1) finding someone we could trust who had our best interests at heart, and 2) someone who would be responsive and resourceful. Jaime was an excellent choice for both of these reasons!
Jaime was able to articulate and explain our most complex questions with patience and detail. We never felt pressured in any direction, but always walked away from interactions with her feeling very informed. Jaime has an excellent way of looking at the broader picture and making sure her clients understand the implications of each decision.
Jaime went above and beyond for us, helping us with every aspect of our transition, from the contract stage all the way to move in. We were able to get above asking price while selling, and under asking price when buying, largely because of her business savvy and keen intuition.

I would highly recommend working with Jaime if you're looking for someone who will really go to bat for you. She was simply the best!

Jaime made our first-time home-buying experience so wonderful and pleasant from the moment we met her.
She was very professional and always had our best interest at heart since day 1, not like the horror story agents you hear about that just want to sell you a home regardless of whether or not its actually what you're looking for or the condition of the home.
She was also available at all hours of the day. Over a one month period we would receive emails and texts messages from her at various times of the day to check in on us or give us updates, even if the update was that there was no update - which we appreciated so much. Jaime is extremely reliable; that's why we had so much trust in her.
Jaime really is the dream agent you want to work with. She's kind, dedicated, and super resourceful. We would not have been able to buy our first home without her help!

We worked with Jaime to purchase our first home in an incredibly difficult market. She was a wonderful partner throughout the entire process from helping us verbalize what we are looking for, to teaching us how to vet homes, to helping us negotiate a challenging bid process. Through all the ups and downs, she was patient, kind, and level-headed. She made us feel like a top priority during our entire search (which was not short!). When we got into some complex territory in the bid process, she didn't have all the answers but she was diligent about using her network to get them. I'd recommend working with Jaime she's a great realtor and lovely human being.

I worked with Jaime on the selling and the buying side, both residences in SF. Jaime was amazing. She was very knowledgable of the area and what to look for when buy or selling a place. She worked really hard and was very responsive to any questions or concerns we had.

She was able to get us well over asking price on the sale of our condo and into a new home in the neighborhood we wanted within a month. I would work with Jaime again in a second.

"To whomever might be selling their personal real estate in the San Francisco Bay Area. I recently sold my single family home in St Francis Wood. The house sold for 18.5% over the asking price, with a 14-day close, and all of the offers were received within two weeks after the home was listed.
I was prepared to interview other agents before choosing to work with Sandy. I learned that the firm owned a second office in the Marina District to supplement their original West Portal office. I was impressed with the firm's forward looking expansion plans to build their business on all fronts of our city. The local economy is doing so well, and they understand that so many younger people; single, newly married, planning families - live in the Northern part of the city.
They invest in their client's success by advertising in print, billboards and on TV.
I gauged our home as 'medium' in a very desirable neighborhood, and heard from Many that it was a 'premium' home from their service, support and dedication perspective. This was extremely important to me - to know that they would give me the attention warranted by other, more highly valued homes in the neighborhood.

I followed their instructions and was very pleased with their referral network, rather 'team' who prepared our house for sale. They all responded immediately, priced their services fairly and did an excellent job within the time frame expected. My goal was to sell the house to the 'highest bidder', as quickly as possible. We did just that, and Sandy generated seven 'clean' offers thanks to their marketing plan.

Hundreds of people and agents came to see the house during the 'showing' period. Most importantly, Sandy never lost sight of out goal during a very intense, unexpected, and ridiculously trying experience with my pending divorce. She managed unnecessary stress and anguish she did not deserve with professionalism at all times.

Sandy is extremely understanding out the very personal nature that is part of selling your real estate. She is the best professional you could hire to do the work."

"Spot-on Instincts
When I decided to sell my home in Ingleside Terrace, my first and only choice to represent the property was Sandy. Her professionalism, responsiveness and spot-on instincts were unparalleled. After just one week on the market, the home had multiple offers and sold for a price that I never dreamed possible."

"Achieving Results
Sandy keeps promises and commitments. She shows sensitivity to people's needs throughout the home sale process. Her primary focus is achieving results to please all parties involved. She has a 'can-do', positive attitude. I would highly recommend her."

"She knows real estate
From beginning to end, Sandy did an excellent job. She is professional, friendly, helpful, communicative and dedicated. She knows real estate."

"Never steered us wrong
We can't thank you enough for all you did in helping us find out a new home. You were always straightforward with us (and boy, were you ever right about the joys of having a real garage), and never steered us in the wrong direction. We've been keeping an eye on the housing market (partially out of habit?), and we keep thinking what a great buy we made as we watch much smaller homes sell for much more than we paid. No buyers remorse here!"

"Such a professional My sister and I sold our family home with Sandy. I have nothing but praise for all she did from start to finish on the sale of the house. I know because of all her expertise, knowledge and advice, I got the very best price in the shortest amount of time. She made it very easy and comfortable to work with her. I feel very lucky to have had such a professional Realtor and have no hesitation recommending Sandy."

"Working with the Dream Team, aka Anna and Sandy, was the best decision we've made with selling our home. Barbegelata does everything first class, from photography to marketing to a gorgeous exclusive website for your home. Anna and Sandy get the job done while providing unparalleled customer service. They are extremely knowledgeable, trustworthy, and diligent. We are so thankful we found them!"

"Dear Sandy:

Where does one to start to thank you for all you have done for us in selling out house. It has been amazing to us that the process went so smoothly but we realize it is all our to your hard work. We just can't thank you enough for your kindness, direction, cooperation and your attention to detail in this endeavor. Thanks also for finding us a house to live in and hoping make the transition such a smooth one. While at times emotion took over, we really are very comfortable and happy in the house. We continue to marvel at your professionalism and your attention to every detail. It is really something to see.

We want to thank you so much for the beautiful picture of the house that you gave to us. Your thoughtfulness made us both cry. It is beautiful and we will cherish it forever. It is a perfect ending and reminder of where we lived and how much the house meant to all of us. It will be handed down through the generations.

While selling out house has been bittersweet, we are very pleased that Will and Mari have gotten it. They will be most happy there and will find great comfort in the house that was so loved by us for so many years.

Again, many, many thanks for helping and guiding us. We simply would not have been able to do this without you."

"Dear Sandy,
Thank you so much for helping my brother and I sell out family home recently. It was a challenging time after our father had passed away, and you made the process infinitely easier.

I interviewed three different firms, and I selected you to represent our family trust for a number of reasons. First, you'd come highly recommended from family friends whom you'd represented in prior real estate transactions. Secondly, your knowledge and skill in the real estate market were readily apparent in our meeting together. Lastly, your realized, cheerful, and humorous demeanor conveyed a calm confidence in your abilities that I found reassuring.

Fortunately, my instinct to work with you was rewarded.

You were able to refer me to estate professionals who did a fantastic job selling the many belongings in our home and miraculously cleared the house out entirely by the time they were done.

While my brother and I were out of town, you found and oversaw the many contracts and professionals who made repairs, re-finished the hardwood floors, painted the entire home inside and out, revamped the landscaping and staged the property. The transformation of the home was amazing and ensured we would get the best price.

Your recommendations regarding the listing price and marketing were spot-on, and the photos were beautiful. You found a great buyer who was happy to purchase the home, and my brother and I were delighted with the price we received. Your suggestions, recommendations, communication and follow-through were excellent. You were calm and cheerful throughout the process, which made it a pleasure to work with you.

My brother and I had a wonderful experience working with you and would highly recommend your services to any buyer or seller of real estate in San Francisco!"

"Sandy made the entire transaction, from listing, to cleaning out, to upgrading the house, to completing the sales transaction virtually painless. Her recommendations for how to handle various aspects of the process were insightful, helpful, and extremely professional. We could not have asked for better representation in this often-complicated financial transaction."

I have known Dan for about 20 years. He is one of the kindest, most genuine and caring individuals I know. Professionally, he is honest, fun!, and always has individuals best interests at heart. I'd recommend and trust Dan wholeheartedly with your home purchase or sale - he will take great care of you through what will undoubtedly be one of the most stressful, capital-intensive and exciting times in your life. I'd choose to have him in my corner without hesitation.

"Fantastic Agent! Our Whole experience with Sandy was truly fantastic. We worked together for 2 years on our project and were able to find our dream house in a very competitive and complicated market thanks to Sandy. Sandy is very professional, her expertise and knowledge of the city and dynamics of a transaction are impressive. Sandy is very reliable and always responds to any question, message, text very quickly. Above all, Sandy is a wonderful and very special person. Kind and always in a good mood, it was a real pleasure to get to know Sandy and build a relationship which hopefully turns into a friendship."

"Sandy is very personable, yet very professional agent. Her attitude made a very difficult time more bearable. I would recommend Sandy to everyone for their Real Estate decisions. You will not be disappointed."

"I would recommend Sandy Gandolfo to any and every one that is looking to sell or purchase their home. Sandy listens to your concerns and address them with the perfect answer and if she doesn't have the answer she is prompt in getting it. Sandy helped me through a very difficult season and I would not have wanted to walk through the period of selling my mother's home with anyone else. Thank you Sandy for being more than just my Realtor, you began a good friend!!"
