Deborah Lopez, Realtor

Deborah Lopez came to me through the recommendation of close friends who had purchased a house with her help. They had nothing but positive things to say. Deborah was instrumental in helping me in two ways. My Mother had a heart attack a few years ago, and had to be in an assisted living facility for two years. When she was strong enough to move home, her house was in need of extensive work. Deborah held our hands through the whole process and maintained contact with my mother as the months passed.\r \r Early last year my mother passed away. She got to live her last year of life in her own home, thanks in large part to Deborah. After my mother passed I was responsible for selling her home. I have never had any experience with real estate, and Deborah was there again to help. She patiently explained the process in the painstaking detail I needed to feel safe at every step along the way. She also kept me moving forward with the process with friendly phone calls and emails (which I very much needed being a world class procrastinator.) The sale was completely painless and I never felt that I had to be worried about how things turned out. We got a solid offer on the second day of showing. In this market that's pretty remarkable. Deborah stayed with me right up to the last signing of paperwork, and has continued to answer questions when they come up.\r \r I could not have asked for a better experience with this emotionally charged process. I would not hesitate recommending Deborah as a real estate agent (and friend) to anyone. Good old-fashioned business ethics and the patience of a saint.\r \r As a more personal aside, I happened to get to meet the couple who bought my mother's home. They have a toddler and were moved to hear a couple of stories of the love my mother created in the home for my brother and I as children. It does my heart immense good to know my mother's house will continue to be a loving families home. more

Deborah was been the first Real Estate Agent that I have been able to trust. She found me exactly what I wanted ---- a fixer upper in a up and coming area - Bernal Heights and she was right. I have referred clients to her and I will continue to do so. more

Deborah is not only a great realtor, but treats each client like a partner. She has a vested interest in making sure you are making smart, good, sound decisions. With her extensive background and experience in the Bay Area real estate market, every client should feel at ease when working with her! Her candor and honesty are second to none and help first-time buyers (even!) feel good! \r \r more

\r \r Deborah Lopez is an amazing realtor. In 2002 I decided I wanted to buy a home. I did a tremendous amount of research and interviewed about 10 realtors. I really liked that she knew San Francisco like the back of her hand, had been in the business for years (not one of those young newbies from out of state) and held a law degree.\r \r She didn't bat an eye when I disclosed I couldn't afford a million dollar home and that my friend and I wanted to find a fixer upper TIC - as that is what the two of us could afford. Well?we found it. We found a gorgeous two unit building in Cole Valley. The building was on the market, needed a lot of renovation and was renter occupied (both units). Anyone who knows anything about renters in this city?would have run. She advised us to meet with an attorney and get truly educated so that we would make an informed decision. She did not just try to make us do a buy like many realtors do?she wanted us to be happy and smart about what we were getting into.\r \r We met with the attorney, learned about renter rights and moved forward. I am now a proud owner of a wonderful Condo in Cole Valley ? not a TIC. Deborah made sure we met everyone we needed to help us go from a TIC to Condo. She was with us from purchase in 2002 all the way to conversion in 2007. \r \r I?ve recommended her to all my friends and I think she is wonderful. I am looking to do it again and I will only use Deborah Lopez.\r \r \r more

Everyone seems to know a Realtor these days- but in this city you need someone who has experience, knowledge and gumption to get you through this market...Deborah is the only one to go to. Most likely the biggest purchase (or sale) of something in your life, don't risk it with anyone else!\r \r Unlike past experiences with other realtors, Deborah always gives you that top service treatment, guiding you through the market and giving advise as needed. She never has pressured or rushed any decision, and always has a fun and approachable demeanor. \r \r We had a difficult situation with the property we bought- the tenants hired a lawyer to fight our every step with the house- We tried an owner move in, they ignored it and requested $85K to leave the property! Needless to say, during this stressful situation Deborah was always there for us- not only acting as an intermediary, but giving us solid support, advice and connecting us with the right people when we needed it. \r \r Once the sale was complete, Deborah was (and is) always available to give her advice and attention on anything from TIC/condo conversions, to recommending a plumber for a water heater replacement. \r \r more

Deborah's knowledge, vision, and experience make her the perfect property consiglieri. It has been 5 year since she helped me buy my first home, and I still go to her for advice and resources. more
