We were excited to have Barbara and Robert represent us in the sale of our house in San Francisco and were consistently impressed with their work. From the moment we began working with them, we knew we were in good hands. We had to do considerable work to prepare our house for sale, had a number of complicated disclosures, and sold right as the COVID-19 pandemic was causing San Francisco to shelter in place. They guided us through numerous decisions about how to prepare our house for sale, worked closely with the stager, and helped us every step of the way through the final sale - and we were thrilled with the results! We greatly appreciate their professionalism, vast knowledge and experience, strong instincts, and care and compassion, and we are so thankful to them for all their help. We cannot recommend them more highly!

It was a pleasure working with Robert Callan and Barbara Callan. They provided us with outstanding service in the selling of our family property in Cow Hallow. From our initial meeting with them to the closing of escrow the information, marketing, communication and the attention to detail they provided to us were outstanding.

Robert did an amazing job while helping us sell our relative’s property. I would definitely recommend Robert and his mother Barbara. They are first class.

Robert and Barbara 's performance in selling our flat in the Marina was stellar. Their assistance from listing through the sale of the property streamlined the process for us and was flawless. Accordingly, I would highly recommend them to others.

I sold my flat (Beale street- SF) in october 2017 with the Robert R. Callan Jr's intermediation : it was clear, accurate, quick, successful and in a friendly atmosphere : it was comforting for a stranger like me (French).
In other words : a good experience that I recommend

Robert and Barbara Callan are an excellent team. They're proved to be very successful in finding us a buyer. Their guidance in how best to price the home, position/market it, handle the necessary fix ups, etc. was an all around home run! Both Robert and Barbara are extremely professional and a pleasure to deal with. Selling a home/moving isn't easy, therefore, we're grateful to have had such a great team guiding us every step of the way, making it a stress-free and positive experience from start to finish. I'd highly recommend them!

Robert and Barbara provided the professional representation and guidance necessary to sell our Pacific Heights condo.
We would recommend them without reservation.

Rob and his mother, Barbara listed our condo for sale. There were some challenges but they did a terrific job of marketing it and seeing us through closure. Great communication, steady guidance and follow up, and just a top job. I also know Rob through the Olympic Club and I know his family. They are great people and Rob is a fine person, father and top athlete. It was privilege for my wife and I to work with him on this transaction.

I highly recommend Robert Callan. He was very kind and patient with us when we couldn't decide when to list our house for sale. When we finally decided, he walked us through every step of the process. When we received bids, he was again very kind and patient with us as we tried to decide what to do. He always explained everything in a thoughtful way. We never felt like he was condescending or overbearing.
Robert was also very detail-oriented. He made sure the stager was paying attention to every nook and cranny in the house.
Last, Robert was very marketing savvy. He knew exactly what the listing price should be and didn't play any underpricing games, which we appreciated. We always felt like we were going to get the highest price, and we truly did get an unbelievable price.
We have already recommended Robert and Barbara to our friends and neighbors and we wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

My wife and I worked with Robert and Barabara Callan to sell our home in the Westwood Highlands neighborhood in San Francisco. They were extremely professional in all stages of the process. They were very thorough in evaluating the market and helping us decide on the right price to list the home. They recommended excellent stagers and worked with them throughout the process of upgrading our home before we put it on the market. And they did a great job of marketing the home, resulting in a sale price $200K over our asking price. My wife and I are very happy with the outcome. We highly recommend Robert and Barbara to anyone else looking for top quality real estate agents in San Francisco.

I had an excellent experience selling my condo with Robert. He listened to what I had to say and ultimately guided the sale to a swift close - which is exactly what I wanted.
Highly recommend.

My husband and I have worked with Barbara and Robert Callan on two real estate transactions in the last seven years. In both cases the Callans' professionalism, close attention to detail and service to clients exceeded all expectations. Their sage advice saved us from making a number of mistakes and proved that client welfare and success are the Callan's first priority. On our second transaction (selling our San Francisco condo), their wise guidance made the process effortless, timely and rewarding. The Callans work well together and uphold a high code of ethics, transparency and diplomacy in their negotiations with all individuals involved. They are extremely knowledgeable about their business and on top of the latest developments in the San Francisco market. In short, the Callans represent the very best in real estate. We would not hesitate to work with them again and are pleased to give them the highest recommendation possible. - Rue and John Ziegler

Barbara and Robert Callan are top real estate professionals. Our San Francisco condo was staged and sold within days, receiving 13 offers -all above asking price. They assisted us in a timely manner with moving out, fixing minor problems, and preparing the condo for sale. Everything went smoothly and we would repeat the experience in a heartbeat. You can't go wrong with McGuire and the Callans."

Robert sold us our SF condo in 2010, and he did such a terrific job we contacted him immediately when we decided to sell in 2017. He monitored the process with high professionalism every step of the way. We were greatly pleased with the result. McGuire is terrific and I can't recommend the Callan team more enthusiastically.

If you want top results, Barbara and Robert are the #1 Agents in San Francisco. They sold my place within a short period of time and helped me purchase a new home thereafter. They are highly recommended and work hard to full fill every Seller and Buyers dream as they did for me. I will always work with Barbara and Robert for all my real estate needs! Barbara's assistant David Ayerdi is the best! His professionalism, diligence and integrity are highly regarded!

Thank you so much for all of your help closing the deal for 176-180A 6th Avenue. I know this deal only closed because of your determination, your attention to detail, and because of all the relationships you have built with other professionals. It was very reassuring to work with someone of your integrity-and because you kept telling me that you had a good feeling and that you thought it would all work out. I'm not sure if you believed it-but I was happy too! Thank You again!

Dear Barbara, Robert and David,
I know this is late but my life this summer has been quite a roller coaster. After getting the house sold, I've driven cross country to settle both girls on the East coast and then returned to find out my dog was dying of cancer. So please forgive my tardiness but I did want to thank all of you most sincerely for all of the absolutely wonderful work you did to get our house sold. I pinch myself when I hear all of the horror stories of other peoples problems getting rid of their houses and think of how lucky I was! But really, I think it's your skill more than luck that did it. Your commitment to excellence and follow through is second to none. Even though it was hard to sell my house emotionally, I couldn't ask for a better experience. It was a pleasure to work with all of you! Thanks for the gift basket. It was unnecessary but greatly enjoyed by many people!

Hi Barbara and Robert,
Just to echo Dave's sentiment in the previous email I want to let you both know that I am very pleased with the entire process in our work together.
I found you both to be extremely professional and have the right mix of market insight and strategic positioning of our property to generate a very quick sale.
If we had listened to the other competing agents our condo would not have even been listed yet.
You both are rock stars in my eyes!
Thanks again,
Ed

Barbara and Robert,
Teri, Jack and I just wanted to express our thanks to you and your team for your work over the past few months. It is pretty hard for us to believe how much life has changed over the short period of less than 3 months. We are very happy with our new house. It's quite a change for us but in such a positive way. We also love the neighborhood and the many new places to explore. We are also greatly relieved that the sale of our old home went so quickly and smoothly.
We know we could not have done this without you guys. Your advice and guidance at all the key moments was frankly irreplaceable. You not only met our expectations, you exceeded them by a wide margin - we could not imagine a better outcome than this. I think your field is filled with too many people who are all show but no substance. Thankfully, you do not fit that norm! You are exceptional professionals and it was a pleasure working with you..

You and Robert are the Best! It was a pleasure and significant load off our minds to have you representing the property for the Trust, dealing with the Tenants, and, your attention to detail, including handling all of the Inspections and repairs, painting, and the lovely staging. You did a wonderful, top notch job and we are all so grateful for your professionalism in all areas that ended in a timely, successful and uneventful closed sale. No surprise that you are #1 in S.F.--it is very well-deserved!
Thank you so very much, Barbara & Robert.
