We just bought our first home in San Francisco and could not have crossed the finish line without Silvana's help. Decades of real estate experience go a long way in a process that has many steps, especially in a market like San Francisco. Silvana always knew which questions to ask to ensure we are getting a full view of the property, was proactive in sending us listings and previewing the properties herself before having us go there in person. This has saved us much time as she knew well what our needs were. She is also connected with the lending community. This has really helped us close within a reasonable time and find a great rate. Would definitely work with her again - and already started recommending to our friends. Thank you, Silvana!
Silvana helped me to purchase the home 24 years ago and kept in touch over the years. There was nobody else who deserved selling the home more than her. She is worth her weight in Gold. Silvana is a producer and deserved more than the regular commission, because she went above and beyond the call of duty. She helped me maneuver a difficult first escrow which did not occur and helped me to rebound to continue the sale of the home.
Top notch sales person and really knows her market.
Silvana was an excellent real estate agent who was friendly, patient, and knowledgeable throughout the entire process! She did a great job negotiating with the the seller's agent and clearly was experienced with home buying in San Francisco. I'm not sure if I would have gotten my offer accepted at the price we wanted without her communication skills. This was my first time buying a home and Silvana was extremely helpful every step of the way - I definitely plan on recommending Silvana Messing to friends and family members looking to buy an apartment in the future.

I was impressed with Silvana from the day I first met her. She seemed knowledgeable, pleasant and easy to talk to. She knew all
her facts regarding properties in the Marina District.
She was excellent in all the above and plus +++ ! I never once had a problem with Silvana in any aspect of the sale.
My overall experience with Silvana is a ten. She truly is a wonderful, intelligent, courteous, knowledgeable realtor. It was great working with
her and I felt comfortable in asking any questions or comments I had. She was always ready to comply with whatever question I had
or any need that had to be done.
She held open houses and inspections always in a timely manner. Courteous and thoughtful for the tenants.
The biggest factor in selecting our agent was comfort and communication level with the agent. We felt the agent was personally invested in finding out about who we were and what we were looking for. Collecting data on our taste, location, time and price preference. It put us at ease and made the process smooth.
To be honest, our agent checked all those boxes. It's why we went with her and Zephyr Real Estate Pacific Heights group. We had a good understanding and felt they were personally invested in finding the right home for us (my wife and I) .
We were more than satisfied with the overall performance. This being our first home purchase and not knowing much about real estate purchasing, our agent explained in detail the process and what each document meant in layman terms. Additionally, we were constantly updated with the latest news/updates.
