What Our Clients Are Saying

It was a pleasure to deal with people as competent, energetic, organized, and easy to deal with as your team are!

2760-2762 Folsom Street —  Seller

"Allison listed and sold my building with multiple offers in just a few weeks. From listing to close she was easy to work with and I always knew I had her on my side. She is a great choice and I would highly recommend her to any San Francisco apartment building owner."

2618-20 Balboa Street —  Seller

Working with Allison to sell the 5 unit building in on Potrero Hill that I have co-owned for more than 40 years was all I could have asked for. She was spot on determining the price point. She wrote up a great description of the building that brought in potential buyers as soon as it was listed at the price point she determined. She held up my end of the negotiations with the buyer even when those negotiations were tough. If I had another building to sell in San Francisco she would definitely be my agent.

813-817 Kansas Street —  Seller

We interviewed several commercial real estate agents when we decided to sell our family property. Our mixed use building was special to us because it had been in our family for over 80 years. We chose Allison for her energy, enthusiasm, market savvy knowledge and strategies. She was easy to work with, highly respectful and responsive to us and sold the property in record time. She was a pleasure to work with and we highly recommend her.

3848 24th Street —  Seller

"We are so appreciative of Allison's generosity and help to complete this sale so well. We really do need more people in the world like her."

303-09 31ST Avenue  —  Seller

I would highly recommend Allison Chapleau. Let’s be honest selling property especially in San Francisco is a stressful endeavor with a myriad of nitpicking particulars and potential pitfalls. Allison and her team not only were able to find a qualified buyer very quickly but were also able to expertly navigate me through the process. Her experience and knowledge in selling multiple unit buildings is impressive. I was lucky to have found her.

628 Lyon Street —  Seller

"Any agent can look at sales comps and assign a price to a property. A successful sale needs flawless timing and thoughtful presentation. Allison is a wise choice to market and sell a San Francisco property.”

2070 Fell Street — Seller

“Everything was done on time and in a friendly and professional manner. We never felt any pressure during the process. She even hired people to do the required inspections and work that needed to be done. That took a big job off our hands.”

3632 26TH Street —  Seller

"Allison was great to work with. I'm so glad she represented me in the sale of my mixed-use property. My sale was smooth, efficient, and profitable. I thank Allison and her expertise and professionalism and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell their San Francisco/Bay Area property."

4700 Mission Street —  Seller

"Allison represented myself and partners in the sale of our 3-unit building. There were multiple offers and we accepted a cash offer with a 10-day close, no contingencies. We can't say enough about Allison's work. She priced the property astutely and her marketing was truly exceptional."
