Cece Doricko – Coldwell Banker

The best real estate person in the world! And I mean it! Cece worked smartly, tirelessly, and with incredible efficiency to sell our San Francisco Condo. She made the entire process completely painless. She is incredibility knowledgeable about the market and its potential buyers. A true professional and I highly recommend Cece.

Cece Doricko is experienced and professional. Buying a property is nerve racking, especially in San Francisco! It came down to a bidding war and without Cece we would’ve been overwhelmed. She did not want us to pay a penny more than we had to and we got our dream home! She gave great advice and was so patient. We truly enjoyed working with Cece and give her our highest recommendation!

I’m not really the Unilocal reviewer type and this is literally the first review I’ve written in years of using the service — so that alone should speak to how highly I feel about Cece. I was connected to Cece through a friend after lightly mentioning that I’d like to consider buying my first home. I knew close to nothing about this seemingly overwhelming process months ago and today I’m sitting in my first home that I adore so much I think of any excuse to «work from home».
So what makes Cece so great?
Cece is the least pushy agent out there, she’s honest, and she gives good advice. She started me off by just setting up automatic email alerts when anything that met my criteria came up so I could get a sense of the market. From there I decided I wanted to go to some open houses, but she never pushed me on any of them. It actually took months for me to find a spot that I actually wanted to bid on.
She immediately understands your taste and style. Cece would email me directly and let me know if she thought a listing stood out. She knew exactly what I wanted so I didn’t waste anytime.
Cece is very well respected in the industry. Everyone knows her and knows you’re being properly taken care of when she represents you. My house came down to a 15 offer bidding war and we won. Cece played all the cards right and was on top of it the entire day, frequently giving me updates. The seller told me many agents were disappointed afterwards because they weren’t given a chance to counter.
I would highly recommend her to family and friends. She’s really the best.

You cannot find a better agent than Cece! This is the second property she has sold for me and she did a great job on both sales. From helping to select the stager, deciding on a price, getting the pre-​inspections, working with the condo association and having her assistant meet the various trades people, she did it all. Our place sold the evening of the first showing at our target price. Her professionalism is ***** all the way!

Cece Doricko is a miracle worker!
She used her super powers to sell our house for a great price and negotiate the purchase of our wonderful new house, and both transactions closed within a few days of each other.
Cece is smart, pragmatic ethical, positive, well-​respected, a great negotiator and communicator and works harder than anyone else I know. To quote the mortgage escrow agent «Cece is on it»
We met Cece at an open house (which she ended up negotiating way out of our price range) where she was generous with her time and advice even though the showing was over and we were «just looking».
Cece was amazing, keeping everything on track and running smoothly. Things happened yesterday! She kept us informed and returned phone calls quickly. Her thorough attention to detail plus the ability to get and convey the big picture helped us focus on what was important. She got who we were and what we were looking for and made the process less nerve wracking, and yes, even fun!!!
I highly recommend Cece Doricko.

My husband and I had almost given up hope after 2 years of looking for a SFH on our own and through other agents. We were lucky to come across Cece Doricko and her business associate, John Kirkpatrick.
Cece and John were determined to work with us and find us a home despite our busy schedules, narrow scope of where we wanted to live and limited financial resources. Somehow they pulled out a miracle and we closed on our home within 6 months of our very first meeting.
I would highly recommend working with her to anyone looking to purchase a home in San Francisco. She knows the market and has a strong network with other agents to know what is happening with a specific property. Her intelligence in this area was the direct result of our ability to provide an attractive and competitive offer.

I have known Cece for over eight years and we have completed together several transactions, she is professional, thorough, fair and honest. Attention to detail is constant along with a positive can do attitude. Anyone who chooses Cece for the agent is making the best choice.

Cece help me sell my home — and Im a top agent at Coldwell banker! I needed her help, and her cool guidance was great! She is a true professional, and is amazing with every detail! I highly recommend working with her! Thank you Cece… with out your help– I wouldnt be in my great new home!
AGENT TO THE STARS!!!

WATCH OUT! I have filed a report against Ms. Doricko and other Coldwell brokers with the DRE .
I can prove the following when we hired her to sell our home:
1. Ms. Doricko fabricated clients that never existed.
2. Ms. Doricko used the MLS to cover up a pocket listing.
3. SFAR MLS refuses to answer specific questions regarding this case. The sellers are being forced to subpoena records from SFAR MLS.
4. Ms. Doricko entered a MLS listing for David Bellings after the contract with the sellers ended.
5. Mark Best allowed MLS numbers to be overwritten and has refused to answer any of my concerns or correspondence.
There is more to come regarding this story!!!

I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to update my review on Cece.
We finally purchased our first home in 2009 with Cece. She made the whole experience seemless and with the least amount of stress one could hope for in buying a new home. She is very thorough and knowledgeable in her craft. After several viewings of many homes over the years with Cece (yes years — we kept going back and forth — should we buy, or should we wait), and through all of it, Cece never pushed us, only gave us sound advice and information so we could make a decision. And when we finally found our home, she delivered. We feel very fortunate to have had her as a realtor.
Some of the excellent qualities she possesses — always follows up and responds to emails, sends properties that meet your criteria as well as expands out to other areas/​properties that you might not have considered, always thinking about your best interest, friendly, professional, and just easy to work with. She brings a personal touch that I haven’t seen with other realtors.
I have continued to keep in touch with Cece with my many referrals to her. Everyone I refer her to is pleased with the results.
Highly highly recommend!

Cece was absolutely fantastic, and I recommend her without hesitation. As our buying agent, we had looked with her at homes for about 2 years, lobbed out a few offers, lost one we were hopeful about; but in the end we finally scored our current home which was worth the wait. We opened our search to other neighborhoods, and she advised us well. Communication was very easy, I could usually reach her or at least get a call back within a matter of hours (if not minutes). She advised us at times where there might be room for negotiation, but respectfully gave it to us straight when she felt that something during the negotiation process might be in jeopardy if we didn’t respond in a timely or appropriate manner. As timing would have it, we had a particularly delayed escrow (due to ALL lenders impacted with re-fi’s after a drop in rates). The sellers and their agent became quite nasty, threatening and confrontational due to these delays (if not at times downright unprofessional), despite the fact that these delays were occurring nationwide. She handled this difficult transaction with finesse and respect, always stood our ground for us, and never blew her cool. She was very patient with us over a long period of us ‘poking around the market’, but when we finally found our house she worked very hard to close the deal and it all worked out beautifully. Thanks Cece!!!

Cece is simply amazing! Smart, strategic, super hard working, and a great communicator. I don’t know a better realtor in the city! I would work with her again over and over.
