Jeff Hand

Jeff is a top real estate agent with decades of experience in real estate, development and construction. With his vast knowledge you can be assured that you are being guided with the best advice through the difficult and numerous decisions of buying or selling a home. Jeff is patient, honest and passionate about real estate; exactly what you want in in a real estate agent — someone who loves what he does, will listen to you and will be straightforward! His clients are his number one priority and I found him to always be available to answer any questions and take care of any issues. Jeff acted quickly to get my home ready for sale and sold it in a very short time. He is also a great negotiator. Jeff recommended a price higher than I initially expected and continued to believe in that price, even as others tried to negotiate the price down. After several weeks on the market, he generated multiple offers and we sold for higher than the asking price. I would definitely recommend Jeff to anyone looking for a real estate agent.

Jeff worked with me for over a year to find just the right house for my family in Marin County. He was able to show us off-​market listings that we never would have seen. One of those listings introduced us to a neighborhood that we loved. That house ended up not selling, but we got another one in that neighborhood soon after. I’m in the real estate business and I don’t need an agent. But without Jeff we would not have ended up in the house that we love. Also Jeff is experienced with renovations and was able to give us great ideas about what we might be able to do and how much it might cost.

Jeff was incredible and helped me find and buy the house of my dreams in SF (something that I thought would never happen) in about 10 days.
Not only does Jeff have impeccable knowledge of San Francisco real estate, but he took the time to educate me on everything — from how to tell the quality all the aspects of the home, neighborhood, etc., to what to consider and be aware of each step of the way. NEVER did I feel like Jeff wasn’t 100% by my side to help navigate every detail, large or small. He even helped get me in contact with trusted contractors and service providers so that I was free of the hassle of finding and vetting my own. Jeff was a tremendous asset to me, and I could not recommend him highly enough.

Jeff is a great real estate agent, the exact person you want to buy a house from. He’s super trustworthy and has managed lots of construction work himself so he knows what has been done right and what hasn’t which was super helpful for me. He can walk inside a house and in minutes tell you 100 things you otherwise wouldn’t have been able to see. If you’re looking to buy a house, Jeff is your man!

Jeff Hand is a top notch real estate agent with Zephyr in San Francisco. He represents buyers and sellers throughout the Bay Area and has sophisticated knowledge of the industry.

I’ve worked with Jeff over the last couple years and he’s always been extremely responsive, informative, patient, and professional. I recommend him without hesitation.

Jeff Hand has been a great real estate agent for us. He works at Zephyr Real Estate, and though he had many clients who were seeking homes in a much higher price range, he showed us just as much attention and care in order to find a starter that works for us. He has been patient, knowledgeable, and solid as far as keeping us up to date, informed, and ready for next steps. We had a lot of questions, and he had a lot of answers that made sense. I would highly recommend him to friends and anyone looking for a home in SF or nearby. Thanks, Jeff!

Jeff is unbelievable. We found ourselves extremely lucky to have him represented us as an agent. We started off having very little knowledge in the market of San Francisco and Marin county. But Jeff is patient, responsible, honest, and extremely knowledgeable in what he is doing. He guided us through the whole process and gave us the best advice in every scenario. In a competitive market like San Francisco and Marin, we started our search in low hopes while cash buyers are everywhere and everyone is trying to buy due to low interest rates. However, we ended our search in 7 weeks and closed in 21 days with the help of Jeff. We found our dream house in Marin! A beautiful HOME to grow our family that we would never thought we could get.
Jeff is not just an agent, he is a truthful team player with knowledge and experience in huge depth. His negotiation skills are excellent. If not because of him, we would never be able to win this battle! We had 4 other buyers to compete with and after rounds of negotiation, even though our offer was not the highest, but we were accepted as the best offer because of the lowest contingency. This is all Jeff’s advices and strategies to help us get this place within our comfortable zone. His team is amazing too. He has connections with great loan officer and inspectors, which helps us tremendously.
Everyday we drive back home with our kids and pass through the beautiful evergreen trees surrounding our house, in our eyes we see this beautiful house of ours which Jeff helped us get, we are the luckiest persons on earth and we will be forever thankful to Jeff.

So we clean our apartment and go for a walk. When we return, we discover that a cutting board near our stove had somehow ignited and caused a small fire. The fire damage was minimal, but the smoke got everywhere, so we decided to move.
Fortunately, the real estate market was rock bottom and for the first time in our lives, we could actually afford to buy in this city. We looked at a hand full of overpriced dumps, but found the place Jeff Hand was showing to be exactly what we wanted.
Not being prepared, we asked Jeff to be our agent (a dual-​agent) so we could bid on the place. I thought this might give us some kind of advantage, though being ethical, he paid another agent to handle our offers. There were at least 4 offers on the place, but we got it.
Still not being prepared, Jeff helped us find a loan. He hooked us up with two people who gave far better offers than anyone I found on my own. One loan was lost because one of the condos in the building was being rented, but the loan we got from Northern Trust, his other contact, was ridiculously good and problem free.
We knew that we could make some offers through Redfin and get some money back in the short term, but working with Jeff got us the only place we wanted and a loan we never thought possible. He’s been in the business since the early 90’s, so his experience and connections made a real difference. We are satisfied clients!
