Couldn't have done it without Doug! He already had a buyer in mind when I was telling him about my plans to sell and it could not have worked out more perfectly. He is super responsive, professional, friendly, and great to work with!

I've purchased and sold real estate in the past but nothing compares to the amazing experience we've had with Doug! We were searching for a 2 bedroom condo for our growing family and looked at several units in and around Lumina. When we mentioned this to Doug, he nailed the perfect new home we were looking for on the very first try. With his extensive network, he was able to show us an off listing unit that perfectly matched our budget and vision for our new home. He is a family man and was quick to related to everything we needed down to every detail. Realizing how much we loved

Buying my first home seemed like a daunting task. Trying to find the perfect place for my budget in San Francisco seemed impossible. But working with Shalini made the whole experience easy, without any pressure or hard selling. She was able to understand what kind of property I wanted And was right for me. Everything she showed me was close to what I was looking for until I found the right place for me. Once I found my place she was on top of closing the sale fast. As far as helping to get documents in order and communication with the seller. and helped me with any questions and query's at

After knowing Doug for a couple years. I felt very confident in retaining him as a real estate broker. One of the first things I liked about his work as my real estate broker was his ability to come up with creative marketing as well as originate solutions to problems or issues. He is self motivated and a good entrepreneur who puts in smart time to aggressively market and sell a large luxury estate.
Also his attention to detail and knowledge of the laws was an asset. Doug is a strait shooter form the mid west that retains the honesty and integrity that make a difference in any real estate transactIons

When we made an offer on a home, we contacted Doug because we knew he would be honest and responsive. We reached out to him a couple days before the offer and he was ready with the disclosures the next day! Communicative, professional and on point. If you are looking for a great real estate agent to find your perfect property, give him a call.

My parents were only in San Francisco for 2 weeks and Shalini found the perfect investment unit for them within the short time frame. She's incredible efficient and responsive with setting everything up. Our experience working with her on a international transaction was seamless and smooth! She made it straightforward and easy for us to handle everything from overseas. Thank you Shalini for your professionalism and dedication!
