We recently had the pleasure of working with Yvonne to purchase our first condo, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. In a tough market filled with challenges and competition, she was a true ally.

As first-time homebuyers, we had a lot of questions and concerns, but Yvonne was incredibly responsive and always made us feel like a priority. She guided us through every step of the process, answering all our questions and addressing any concerns with patience and professionalism. We truly appreciated her expertise!

Thanks to Yvonne, we found the perfect condo that fits our lifestyle and budget. Yvonne made what could have been a stressful experience enjoyable and seamless! We highly recommend her!

I it has been a pleasure working with Yvonne, a true real estate professional. Yvonne helped us with the sale of our parents family home in the San Francisco Marina District which they owned for 59 years. One of the reasons we chose to partner with Yvonne was her familiarity with the area along with her successful track record of selling similar type properties. Additionally, her understanding of the emotions we were experiencing, our overall goals, along with her professional guidance helped make this bittersweet transaction successful. Yvonne is not afraid to roll up her sleeves and assist in making the home look it’s best by applying her skills and keen eye for ensuring all details are addressed. We highly recommend Yvonne as your go to real estate professional and thank her for all her hard work.

I CONTACTED Yvonne when it came time to sell my mom's house and like a true professional she took care of every thing From having things fixed to painting to having it staged Which was great since I no longer live in San Francisco. On top of that she got above asking price.

Yvonne is a consummate professional with a knack for providing a direct and caring approach. She knows how to get her clients exactly what they are looking for and will go to great lengths to assist them in finding the perfect home for their needs/desires.
While working with Yvonne we visited many homes. She was always availableto discuss the pros and cons of each property.
When it was time to grab the home I chose she went to bat for me right away! We were able to strike a deal in a short amount of time.
I love my home and consider Yvonne to be both a friend and an amazing resource to this day on anything concerning my home!

Working with Yvonne was an incredibly positive experience. We had a tight budget and lot of requirements, but Yvonne was always extremely patient, trustworthy, professional, and encouraging throughout the process. As first-time home buyers we had a lot of questions and she took her time answering each and every one. She brought us to almost 20 homes until we found the perfect one. The best part about working with her is that she’s extremely knowledgeable about the city, the home-buying process, and building structure/layouts. She brought up a lot of great points that we wouldn’t have thought about when walking through homes which was very helpful. She also had a lot of great connections for us for financing and handy work. Yvonne is the best and we’ll always use her in the future!

As a Bay Area native and public relations VP at a commercial real estate firm, I have an abundance of qualified and talented real estate professionals in my network, and my instinct told me to go with Yvonne for my primary residence. That was one of the best decisions I've made in my life. Yvonne is a true professional who will find a solution for any challenge that can arise while searching for a home or investment in a world class city. She has an instinct that is difficult to describe; she knows the city of San Francisco well and has many connections that can help get a transaction over the finish line. Yvonne is communicative, responsive and has a wonderful sense of humor. She is a true gem.

Yvonne was simply amazing. I had to sell this property while living on the East Coast--no easy task. This couldn't have happened without her help. She kept an eye on it throughout the process, visiting almost everyday, while supervising the inspections, renovations and staging. Even the neighbors noticed that she was going above and beyond the call of duty, praising her to me in text messages for the commitment and care she displayed in getting the house ready for the market. I really can't express my gratitude sufficiently. Best real estate agent in town in my opinion. Totally devoted to her client's best interests.

Yvonne is the most well-prepared, knowledgeable and hardest working realtor that I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She was available 24/7 and was always working in our best interest: getting us the highest sales price while saving us any unnecessary expenses. Not only would I work with her again, I would recommend her to anyone who will listen. If I could, I would rate her 10 out of 5 stars........she is a Superstar!!!!!

Yvonne Toracca was the listing agent for a unit in the building that I live in. It was impressive to watch her transform a tired, drab looking, out of date apartment into a chic, stylish, desirable home. Her attention to detail and knowledge of interior design and architecture are remarkable. She has a large network of contacts in home refurbishment that she is able to use as resources.

Most importantly, she is personable, easy to work with, and has a great attitude. Going the extra mile is part of her nature.

I highly recommend you give her a call next time you need an agent. You will be glad you did!

Yvonne Toracca acted as our agent for the recent sale of our Marina home. We found her to be very professional and extremely thoughtful and resourceful throughout the process.
She gave us very good advice in preparing for the sale; finding and overseeing painters for both interior and exterior, stagers, and gardeners. She arranged for all necessary inspections and put together a marketing plan that made the property look irresistible. The fact that we had multiple offers over our asking price and settled for a very handsome sales price is a tribute to her.

Yvonne assisted my client in the SF area list, sell and clean out her property. Not only did she go the second mile, she went the third, fourth and fifth miles as well! She is a delightful person with a very caring nature. This transaction had a number of quirks and she handled them beautifully. I cannot recommend her highly enough. We are totally pleased!

Yvonne helped us purchase a condo and made the entire process smooth and comprehensible. She really went to bat for us and helped us secure a great price for the unit, because she sensed that the seller was frustrated and wanted to close quickly. Her understanding of both the financial and emotional side of real estate made her an outstanding agent to work with. She was attuned to the market dynamics and also understood what we were looking for, and was able to help us find a home that will suit our needs. We plan to use her services for all our San Francisco real estate transactions.

She truly wants the very best for her clients and is willing to do anything possible to ensure her clients 100% satisfaction/happiness. You will not find anyone better than Yvonne!!

Yvonne is our “go to” agent. Dedicated and committed to getting the job done! Her extensive background as a property owner, developer and agent proved invaluable as she helped us through a very difficult time with our rental property in the Marina.

Yvonne has an incredible network of business associates, contractors, painters etc. She also has a great eye for color and details, which enabled us to make improvements that increased the value of our home and brought our property back to market in a cost effective and efficient manner.

From start to finish, we couldn’t be more pleased. We would highly recommend Yvonne.
