SELLERS 846–848 26th Avenue

"My experience working with Radhi Ahern on the sale of our home was an exceptional one. Radhi exhibited the charisma, charm, and ethics of a seasoned professional. While selling a TIC can be daunting, Radhi was able to skillfully work and negotiate well with all other parties involved. Under her guidance we were able to successfully list and market our property, which resulted in several offers, and ultimately allowed us to accept one which was well over our asking price. Selling in an aggressive market can be intimidating, and the knowledge Radhi brought made the process of selling our house much easier to handle. The bottom line is that she looks out for her clients best interest at all times. For these reasons I choose to recommend Radhi as the real estate professional to use when asked by others."

"Amanda and I just wanted to write you a quick letter to let you know that we are settling into our new home, which we would not be in right now without your hard work and dedication. As you know, we had been looking for some time before we had the good fortune of meeting you. After hearing what Amanda and I were looking for, you found a TIC that matched our needs in every way – layout, size, parking, and period craftsmanship, among others. Moreover, you brought us to it on the very first weekend that we started our search with you. It was refreshing to have a broker that listened to what we wanted and got it right on the very first try. In addition, knowing that we wanted the home you showed us, we were impressed at the time and effort that you put in with the seller to make sure that we got the home – especially in light the number of bids we understand the home received. It made us feel that you made getting us into the home we wanted your number one priority. Thanks again for making our first home a reality."

"You may laugh at this but my wife and I first looked at the San Francisco real estate market as though it were a long line at the DMV or our daughter’s math homework – frustrating, counter–intuitive but not all that complex. A real estate agent was a bothersome and expensive afterthought. We would do most of the work ourselves. The agent would suggest a few properties, answer a few questions, and sign a few papers, hand over the keys and we would all shake hands. Months later, we are sitting in our Victorian tenancy in–common laughing at how ignorant we were and thanking our lucky stars that we ever met Radhi Ahern. No amount of hard work would have allowed us to chart the illogical Alice in Wonderland world of San Francisco real estate on our own. Even with an agent, we were getting the run–around. We’re from New York. We don’t like run–arounds. And worse, we weren’t getting a home. So we started looking for a new agent. My wife Jeannie wanted someone smart and hard–working and who would be patient with two high–strung East Coasters who didn’t know TIC from NAACP. I wanted a cold–blooded killer. Radhi was all of these things. She hitched us up with a TIC partnership that worked; jumped on properties that we were interested in; taught us as much as we wanted to know about the subtle black magic and math of finding and securing a place and the complex vagaries of TICs; negotiated an offer on a place that maneuvered us past numerous other higher offers into a backup; kept us in play with a difficult seller’s agent as the winning offer began to fall apart; kept Jeannie and I from falling apart out of sheer stress; leaped in when the first offer went bad; hooked us up with a mortgage broker, a TIC lawyer, a painter and even specific paints. And all the while, Radhi handled us with professionalism, class and warmth that made bewildering and risky process one that Jeannie and I came out of with most of our sanity and a wonderful home. I suppose many recommendations are filled with praises of immeasurable and ethereal attributes. But I’m a pragmatist. So I’ll end with this: if Jeannie and I ever make a single move in real estate, even if it has nothing to do with TICs or even San Francisco, we will call Radhi first. She’s that good."

SELLERS of 147–153 Ashbury

"I wanted to thank you for your perseverance and determination in successfully closing 147–153 Asbury. It was no easy task to convert our 4 unit apartment building to a building ready for tenancy in common buyers. Going beyond the traditional real estate agent role, you worked with us hand in hand to drive the remodeling of the units including picking finishes that would be attractive to prospective buyers, formulating a cohesive marketing strategy and guiding the buyers through the complicated TIC purchase process. This tenacity resulted in our building netting a staggering $699 a square foot. We couldn’t be more pleased and would be happy to recommend you others for their real estate needs."

"Last year, we decided that a piece of income property might be a good investment for our family. We had no idea what we were getting into because of the big puzzle known as SF Real Estate. After a few forays into the city to look at neighborhoods, we determined that we needed some help. Radhi Ahern was recommended by a mutual friend.

After deciding what we could afford, explaining the details of a 1031 exchange, the pitfalls of condo conversion and rent control we partnered up and started the process. Because of her experience in this market and her diplomatic style, we identified a property and made an offer. Radhi attached a letter with the offer explaining why she thought this was a fair offer and the deal was accepted within 24hrs.

Radhi made the whole process a pleasurable experience"
