Daniel Raffa

My husband and I were blown away by our experience working with Dan on finding and buying our first home.
Dan guided us through the home buying process from start to finish and took great care of us at every step along the way. He is knowledgable of both the process and the market, and we quickly learned to trust his instincts. He is not pushy or sales-​y at all– he listened to our needs and acted in our best interests 100% of the time. Even though he’s a busy guy and was working with other buyers (who I’m sure had a bigger budget than we did), he was so on top of things and attentive to our needs that we felt like we were his only clients.
We were looking to buy at the entry level price point in an extremely competitive area. Dan found us a property that was off-​market at the time we made the offer, and so we were able to keep all our contingencies and avoid competing with multiple buyers. As a result we were able to take our time with the sale without making any sacrifices– an unheard of phenomenon in the Bay Area these days.
I can’t recommend Dan highly enough

Daniel Raffa was nothing short of amazing at handling the sale of our condo in the Bayview. He came highly recommended from a colleague that lived in the same neighborhood and had sold his single-​family home just a few months before. My husband and I were constantly impressed at Daniel’s attention to detail, knowledge of the area, and suggestions to make our condo more attractive to prospective buyers. We expected the process to be arduous and overwhelming, but Daniel took great care to bring clarity, ease, and even warmth to the entire experience. He was patient with all of our concerns and questions. He was flexible with our timeline. He was a consummate professional. He also was able to secure a phenomenal return on our investment that was beyond what we could have even imagined. We cannot recommend him highly enough!

Dan helped me buy my first home — an old Victorian flat in San Francisco. He did a great job guiding me through the process and answering any and all questions I had. As it was my first home I didn’t know what to expect — but it was smooth and straight forward. Dan worked hard to make sure that all road blocks were removed and before I knew it I was a homeowner. Dan is patient, a good listener and cares about you — not just closing the deal.

Some how buying a house in San Francisco for $ 650,000 ended up being the easiest experience ever! The first place we looked at we met both Dan and Mike who were the relators for that house. We didn’t get the house (it went for $ 300,000 over asking price so just saying if you are looking to sell your house they seem great at that too!) but we got our relators! After this house we left for part of the summer and when we returned the neighborhood we were wanting had already shot up another $ 50k on average which put it out of our price range.
Together they comprised a list of potential places and walked us through a few of them even if they were not in our initial ideal location, or what we would have even though of. That week we looked at a few places and liked 2 of them. One Dan had to coax me into seeing a few times and I ended up seeing so much potential, I could have easily written it off and I think that’s what a lot of people do then they miss a great opportunity to buy a house.
The houses we liked they did great follow up working with the other relator even when we weren’t around.
Two weeks later we bid on one of the houses that we didn’t even think we could get AND WE GOT IT!!! We got it because of the help Dan and Mike did for guiding us on how to write offers and to include letters so they get to know us, thus we weren’t the highest bid, but they choose us due to various reasons.
After that it was the most stressful (a little under a) month ever, they kept telling us everything was going really quick and smooth, but we’ve never done this so I annoyed them with text every day all day and Dan never seemed annoyed by my annoying questions.
I can’t stress enough how much they were there for us, how low key they are, no pressure, there to help you and not make you feel bad to messaging at all hours. Just meet with them, they will actually tell you to interview other relators so don’t worry about the commitment from one meet up, and they don’t have you sign a contract to stay with them, because honestly, WHO WOULD LEAVE THESE HANDSOME GUYS?!
Happy house hunting!

We were very pleased with the quality of work and effort by Dan Raffa to sell our Daly City home. He provided us excellent advice, guidance, and support. The house sold above our asking price, it was a smooth and quick transaction. I highly recommend Dan Raffa!
