Homes by Demi

Wow! All I can say is WOW! I am simply amazed at what can be accomplished in such a short time. We met Demi less than a month ago and since then we have: moved out, cleaned up, shown our place (with a tenant still living in the second room), received offers, and SOLD our condo. We received offers with my tenant still in there, room sight unseen! It will be closing in two more days!!! It is unbelievable what dedication she has towards her clients. My family had recommended another realtor they had used for years, but we are so happy we decided to go with Demi. Not once did we question our decision on this. Demi is knowledgeable, extremely hardworking, and passionate about what she does. She really knows what she’s doing!
I also think she’s a really good person. I remember at one point I was rushing around trying to get stuff done. I met her at our condo and just started talking about our topic of the evening. She had me put my things down, gave me a hug, and said «ok, now we can start». It shows me, no matter how busy this time may be, we are people first. Her positive attitude throughout the whole process helps to ease any stress you may feel.
Needless to say… we sold our condo at an amazing price, with multiple offers, and in record time! THANK YOU DEMI!

Demi is not only an incredibly brilliant, hard-​working, responsive, caring, conscientious, thorough, and organized real agent and all-​around advocate, but also a highly effective teacher and incredibly trustworthy and principled woman. Demi recently helped me find, negotiate, and purchase a gorgeous new home at a great price. In doing so, it was clear to me that she went well above and beyond the call of duty, literally working around the clock for days on end making sure the various complicated moving parts of the closing process went smoothly. She did incredible amounts of work coordinating with the various inspectors, consultants, and other vendors behind the scenes, while educating and informing me about each step along the way, demystifying the entire process one step at a time.
Having made sure at the very beginning of the process that she thoroughly understood my underlying and deep-​seated wants, needs, and fear of uncertainty, she was always able to sense or even anticipate my concerns and would timely check in with me to talk them through. The knowledge and insight I gained from these invaluable conversations gave me tremendous amounts of comfort despite the unavoidable uncertainties of the negotiation and closing process.
As a lawyer at a big law firm with an extremely heavy workload and long hours, there was absolutely no way I would have been able to get through this stressful and intense process, and get through with my sanity in tact, if it were not for Demi’s diligence, persistence, hard work, and remarkable ability to simultaneously be both a zealous, intense, and tireless advocate and an effective, sensitive, and considerate manager of emotions and expectations.
Thank you so much, Demi! I could not have done this without you.

Demi is an excellent real estate agent. I bought my dream home and if it was not for Demi, it would not have happened. I was new to the process and did not know much about home searching or buying. Before searching for a house, Demi spent hours with me to understand my wants and needs and explained the market and strategy we should lead to find the right home for me. She patiently educated me about every step, from how to put an offer, documents to review, loan process, timelines and important issues to consider.
When we found the right house, she was great advocate determined to get the job done with the best way possible for my interest. She worked tirelessly night and day to prepare an offer, negotiated brilliantly in a multi-​offer situation for a popular property that was on the market for only one day and navigated me through the loan and inspection process.
Demi loves what she does and she is very good at it. Moreover, she cares for her clients and works with integrity. I highly recommend Demi.

Demi is by far the best agent I have ever worked with. She is very thorough, professional and patient.
I was very surprised by the fact that unlike other agents, she first sat with us and took a lot of time to understand what exactly we are looking for. She gave us questionnaires that we had to fill-​out and then answer questions and she exactly zoned in on what is it that we are looking for. Even we were surprised by some of our answers — it turned out that even we did not think about some very important questions and assumed that both of us (my wife and I) were both on the same page.
We learned so much through this process. Working with Demi gave us clarity and we ended up in the perfect house — it is exactly what we have hoped for. I was dreading the whole process signing papers, getting a loan, and all the little bits and pieces I had not clue about. Demi made the whole process so seamless, that after finally getting the keys to our first house, I have to say, that the whole process was much, much more easy on us that I have ever hoped for.
When it comes to such an important decision like buying a house, you definitely need Demi.

Demi is a very knowledgeable, flexible, and patient agent. She is genuine and I really enjoyed going to her classes. She works really hard to involve her clients so that both can grow and learn together.
Thanks!

As a lender, I work with many different agents, but rarely is it such a privilege as it is to work with Demi. She understands all facets of the industry, is very familiar with the market, is a tenacious and aggressive negotiator, is very detail oriented, and professional. However, more than any of this, she truly cares about her clients.
She’s excellent with buyers of all types, but that care and concern really shines through when dealing with First-​Time home buyers. She really takes the time to educate her clients and safeguard them from bad decisions (while suggesting good ones). In an industry where people are often seen as sales units rather than individuals, Demi genuinely wants to serve the people that come to her for help and representation. If you’re looking for a great Real Estate agent and an even better person, you need look no further!

I found my dream house and much more. We found a home (our very first) that is even better than what we thought we would ever get.
Demi listened both my needs and wants and my fiancé’s. Although we were for most part in agreement with my fiancé, we were quite peculiar with our wishes (they were not that common). Before we started working with Demi, we looked a couple of websites and it looked like we were not going to get our dream house. After meeting with Demi, everything changed. She not only found the perfect home for us but also bargained the hell out for us. I was quite impressed with the final number. She fought as if it was her home (I don’t think I could have bargained for anything that hard in my life).
Besides getting the perfect home for the perfect price :) She acts as a one stop shop, she finds the people to assess your house, get all the inspections done, link you with loan officiers (only the ones she trusts — not that you have to pick one of those (she is very clear about that)), home insurance, handyman etc. As a first time home buyer, it is quite easy to be overwhelmed with all the work and uncertainty but Demi handles everything and tells you the progress and checks with you every step of the way. You never feel like you are out of the loop but at the same time you don’t feel alone at any step; great balance.
Overall, I full heartedly recommend Demi for buying a new house. I especially can voucher for her if you are a FIRST TIME HOME buyer. She makes this whole crazy process go smoothly. Although I don’t think I will me moving from this home any time soon :), I surely will use Demi to both sell my home and get me into my next home.

I first worked with Demi in 2008 but due to various reasons I had to postpone my home purchase for few years. In 2011 when I was back in the market I had no hesitation to go back to Demi due to the positive experience I had with her earlier. There are many qualities in Demi that I like. The first thing that you would notice in her is her passion for work. She loves her job and it is very visible in the hard work she puts and the methodical approach she takes. She is very friendly to move with and at the same time very professional in her dealings. I found it very refreshing that I was able to have professional relationship with her and yet talk to her as a good friend. I wouldn’t be surprised if majority of her clients end up being her good friends as well.
Demi is also a quick learner and adapts quickly. She understood my needs pretty well and helped me narrow down the home search quickly. Also being a first time home buyer it was immensely handy for me that I could use her as a one-​stop resource for anything home related. She has a great network of people and my entire home purchase process went very smoothly. I’m very grateful to Demi for all her efforts in helping me find a perfect home but more importantly I’m also glad that I made a good friend in the process. I have no hesitations recommending her to anybody.

Demi did a superb jog helping me with the purchase of a mobile home directly from the factory and the sale of a home that required significant upgrading prior to going to market. Her attention to detail is second to none.

Demi is an excellent agent. As a first-​time home buyer, I was a bit overwhelmed by the process and piles of paperwork. Demi takes the time to get to know her clients and understand their wants and needs. She put me at ease, walked me through each step, and ultimately, helped me to find the perfect home. She is detail-​oriented, knowledgeable and perceptive. I was impressed by how quickly she understood what I was really looking for, even after I changed my mind a few times and moved my search from the South Bay to San Francisco.
Even though San Francisco wasn’t her usual territory, she quickly educated herself and connected other agents in the area to better understand the San Francisco market. After I purchased my new home, Demi helped me find movers and a painter so that I could make the necessary repairs to my rental and get my full deposit.

Just closed on a cute lil’ 1950s home in MV, and I must give kudos to my superstar realtor! If you are Type A, you will especially appreciate the way Demi takes care of business. She is on it like no other, and I don’t just mean the basics: I mean from start to finish plus every possible other thing in between! She’s extremely thorough (not to mention, smart and hard working)– so much so that you could relinquish all control and still be in great hands. But if you care to learn, she takes the time to educate and show you the how/​why. Seriously, you can’t go wrong with a trustworthy realtor like Demi. She’ll become your biggest advocate without your even asking.
That said, let me tell you straight: be ready, because no matter how you cut it, the home-​buying process is INTENSE. Thankfully, with Demi’s guidance, we made it to the other side and found a place that makes us smile.
And the absolute best part? Goodbye home owner associations! Watch and weep as I line-​dry all my clothes!
