San Francisco Real Estate Agent

“If you are looking for a true partner and the best person to handle your property, Oliver is the one. I am from out of state and selling a home in SF was a potential challenge. Oliver made it a breeze. He strategized with me, kept me up to date daily, and took on tasks outside of his responsibilities. All to make the process as smooth as possible for me. We had 11 offers within 7 days, all above asking price. Closed at 37% over asking price and that was due to Oliver's diligence every step of the way. From finding a liquidator, painter, floor refinisher, stager and handling inspections he was one of a kind. I have dealt with several realtors on other properties, but Oliver is #1.”

“We relied on Oliver to manage the entire selling process. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the market and the whole sales process. He is an excellent communicator who was always reachable. He kept us informed, which made the process smooth and stress-free, and he guided us to a very successful sale. What I appreciated the most was his genuine investment in our best interests.”

“We recently worked with Oliver to buy a house in San Anselmo. He was immediately responsive and quick to make appointments for us soon after we met him. He knew there would be houses that wouldn't check all the boxes, but he felt it was important to get a sense of what our priorities were, as well as a useful tool to see examples of what we liked and didn't like. It was also important to him to learn about us, personally, and our tastes. He was extremely prompt in responding to our (numerous) calls, texts and emails - his consistency and reliability were invaluable and very much appreciated. Oliver's warmth and affability made the whole process easy. Importantly, he made it a point to get to know the sellers' agents, so that when it came time to revisit a listing, they were totally open to it and made it happen quickly. His knowledge of how the negotiations would likely play out was very helpful and made it possible to get the deal over the finish line. He offered guidance at each step along the way and was there to help us navigate the somewhat daunting journey through the disclosure and escrow process. We would recommend Oliver in a heartbeat, and without any hesitation.”

“Oliver Burgelman was the consummate real estate professional throughout our selling process. He formulated a plan to make our house attractive to a wide span of buyers. He walked us through the process of preparing our property to be sold, determining the necessary improvements, assisting with resources including contractors and required inspections, and then effectively marketing our property and negotiating the highest price possible. Oliver anticipated any possible interfering factors and he communicated with us consistently and clearly. His expertise and experience were very evident and reassuring. For potential buyers or sellers he is the definitive choice, and we felt very blessed to have him as our broker.”

“We thank our lucky stars we working with Oliver. He is that rare blend of amiability and capability; not only was he consistently responsive, but he also anticipated our needs, giving us ample information and a seasoned, cool perspective. After our first phone conversation, he quickly moved our search forward, turning our feedback into promising listings. Oliver found us our house within one week of working with him and did everything he could to make the deal go smoothly. For example, the counteroffer from our seller did not cover the dry rot under our front stairs. Rather than having us counter, which would have made it possible for us to lose the house, he insisted on covering the cost from his end. We were blown away by this, and his aftercare was superb, with terrific contacts for painting and contracting. We hope to be in this house for decades to come but, should we ever need to sell it, we would work with Oliver without a moment’s doubt. In the SF market, every advantage makes a difference, and we would recommend Oliver and Mike without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell property here, as we have already to our friends.”

“I have worked with Oliver twice now (on both the buying and selling end) and would highly recommend him as an agent. What I found most helpful about working with Oliver is his ability to stay collected and sharp in any situation. In this hectic, fast-paced, and often perplexing San Francisco housing market, Oliver was extremely helpful in helping me make sense of my options in each scenario and step of the process. His knowledge of the real estate market and process is highly evident in his ability to proactively take care of pretty much everything so you don't have to worry throughout your sale/purchase. Even when my transaction became highly complicated and was in danger of falling through, Oliver pulled it together and kept me at ease! Never pushy, I always felt my interests were top of mind. Even at times when I wasn't in the market to buy or sell, Oliver still took time out of his schedule to meet up with me and chat about real estate. Oliver is extremely down-to-earth and enjoyable to work with while maintaining an exceptional level of professionalism. If you want someone who can take care of business and is a joy to spend time with, Oliver is your guy!”
