I'm happily a repeat client of Minoo's and hope to continue. She helped me to buy a condo a few years ago, and more recently, a home in San Francisco.
I've worked with other Real Estate agents in the past. When I compare Minoo to them, she is easily in a league of her own. A few defining qualities are her character, patience, and the clear value she adds.
During both of the times i've been a client of Minoo's, i've looked sometimes over the course of several months for the right place. Although I was serious about buying, at no time did I ever feel pressured to make a decision or increase my budget to make a deal.
A few specific instances of value:
-During negotiations for a property, we put in an offer which was accepted by the seller. After inspection, Minoo called me to ask if I wanted to decrease the purchase price by $10,000. We did and they accepted. Reducing the price was not something I thought was possible. I saved $10,000 only because Minoo called me and suggested it.
-Anytime I was interested in a property, she would strike up a conversation with anyone nearby to get more information. One instance was a neighbor which revealed deeper family dynamics about how and why the home was being sold, information we leveraged when putting in an asking price.
If you are seriously looking for a place, I hope you are lucky enough to work with Minoo.
