After 7 years, I finally received an apology from Afi (below) so I'm updating my review:
Happy holidays and we wish you the best during the holiday season. I apologize for disturbing your stay at this property. I am now 60 years old and managing our clients' properties personally with care and we have learned from our past mistakes. If you find it in your heart to let go of this complaint, I truly appreciate it. Life teaches us to grow and my intention was never to disturb your lives. kind regards Afi

I have rented, bought and sold property with Afi. Equal parts sweet and smart, she's more than agent, she's a partner.
Renting, she showed me a property not yet not the market. I took it.
Buying, Afi found me a the perfect home, that oddly was not listed on most websites. I bought it.
Selling that same property a year later (because of a work transfer) Afi counselled me to wait 6 weeks. It's that level of detail and finesse that makes all the difference. I made an extraordinary profit.
I'm confident there is no better agent in the SOMA/Mission Bay area.

My wife and I have known and have been working with AFI Real Estate and her team of agents for a long while now. We can definitely say they are professional, ethical, and is very responsive. They are quick to action and is very knowledgeable of the real estate market.

AFI Realtor, Malin Kansal, was incredibly professional, competent and generous when helping us to find a place in San Francisco. I was incredibly impressed with his knowledge of the area and inventory. He was attentive and provided excellent customer service. I am tremendously grateful for his help and support.

My boyfriend and I moved from New York to San Francisco and worked with Malin from AFI to view a property in SOMA. He was extremely flexible, responsive, and great to work with! We were able to lock down our apartment in just a couple of days and moved immediately. We will definitely look to work with AFI for our next apartment hunt!

I have worked with Afi on a few different deals. Most recently on a purchase, where there were many bids. Even though ours was not cash and may not have been the best, because she is trusted in the industry, the sales agent knew that there would be no issues and the seller ended up choosing us. A fantastic experience! One of the reasons I keep coming back is her honesty and the fact that she cares about sustaining a relationship. I've worked with other realtors in the past, some good and some not-so-much. She spent a good amount of time helping us a few years back during the credit crisis
