We recently worked with Oliver to buy a house in San Anselmo. He was immediately responsive and quick to make appointments for us soon after we met him. He knew there would be houses that wouldn't check all the boxes, but he felt it was important to get a sense of what our priorities were, as well as a useful tool to see examples of what we liked and didn't like. It was also important to him to learn about us, personally, and our tastes. He was extremely prompt in responding to our (numerous) calls, texts and emails - his consistency and reliability were invaluable and very much appreciated. Oliver's warmth and affability made the whole process easy...

Oliver made us feel relaxed and comfortable with this important transition in selling our home. He listened to all of our questions and concerns and was very thorough in explaining the process. He never pressured us to take steps we didn't want to do. He supported our wish to sell the home how we wanted to and we would highly recommend him to anyone buying or selling in San Francisco. Oliver manages to know the market inside and out while maintaining genuine kindness and understanding.

Selling your home is a big deal. There are lots of moving parts and lots of decisions to make. Oliver explained all the scenarios and ramifications very well which meant that I had more confidence to make the decisions we made. Oliver is well-informed on the general market, our neighborhood, and buying and selling psychology. I feel so fortunate to have worked with him to sell our home. I have experience with five different home sales. Working with Oliver was amongst the best experiences out of those transactions. Highly recommended.

Oliver was recommended to us by friends who had a great experience purchasing their house with him and Oliver turned out to be perfect for us as well. We told him our criteria and he was the exact right mix of respect for our choices while also showing us alternatives. His many years of experience in San Francisco were great to leverage, especially when it came to the offer stage. Buying a house in the current market feels like it takes place in a whirlwind. It was invaluable having someone to guide us through it and someone we could trust implicitly to ensure our interests were being represented.

Oliver Burgelman is an outstanding real estate professional. We worked with Oliver to purchase a house in San Francisco. As a first-time buyer in California, he made the process relatively easy and enjoyable. We found a home within a month of working together, only having to make two offers and staying within our budget. He carefully listened to our needs, patiently answered every question, and went above and beyond in many ways to make sure we were happy in our new home. He even continued to check in months after we moved in to see how things were going and to share his expertise. We would gladly work with Oliver again and would recommend him to ot...

Oliver helped to sell our home in the outer avenues. The experience could not have been better. Oliver gave us the vision from the first day and over-delivered on every promise he made. He walked us through exactly what would happen with the selling process and exactly when to place on the market for maximum exposure, and ended with our well-over asking price offer which we accepted. Oliver was always there to answer questions and went above and beyond anything I could think of a realtor doing. He does care about you in selling your home or purchasing a new one. I highly recommend Oliver and Mike both as they are easy to work with, honest, and can b...

We thank our lucky stars we working with Oliver. He is that rare blend of amiability and capability; not only was he consistently responsive, but he also anticipated our needs, giving us ample information and a seasoned, cool perspective. After our first phone conversation, he quickly moved our search forward, turning our feedback into promising listings. Oliver found us our house within one week of working with him and did everything he could to make the deal go smoothly. For example, the counteroffer from our seller did not cover the dry rot under our front stairs. Rather than having us counter, which would have made it possible for us to lose the...

I have worked with Oliver twice now (on both the buying and selling end) and would highly recommend him as an agent. What I found most helpful about working with Oliver is his ability to stay collected and sharp in any situation. In this hectic, fast-paced, and often perplexing San Francisco housing market, Oliver was extremely helpful in helping me make sense of my options in each scenario and step of the process. His knowledge of the real estate market and process is highly evident in his ability to proactively take care of pretty much everything so you don't have to worry throughout your sale/purchase. Even when my transaction became highly compl...

Oliver is very professional. We were looking to sell our house in the Mission. A friend referred us to him. Oliver called us within a day and set an appointment in the same week. He always was very punctual with his appointments. He came for the first appointment with a brochure where he did a study of houses with similar descriptions of our house and tentative appraisal which was very accurate with the appraisal agent. Oliver walked the property and advised us how to make our house more "appealing" for potential buyers. Oliver with his experience advised us when we can place our house on the market. Oliver prepared a schedule plan including photogr...

We first met Oliver four years ago when we were looking for our first place, and we met him at an open house of a condo we were looking at. We hit it off, and we decided to work with him on finding a condo. He was very knowledgeable about the market, was very frank about properties that we saw (and we saw a lot), and always made sure we had all of the information we needed in order to make a decision. We were newbies back then, and he made the process smooth and seamless. Fast forward four years, and we asked Oliver to help us sell our condo and then also buy our next place, which we determined was going to be a single-family residence. The market i...

When my husband and I began looking at lofts in San Francisco, we found Oliver’s blog about the pros and cons of loft ownership. His well-thought-out, highly informative article caught our attention, as we were looking for an agent who was knowledgeable in the field. Oliver’s great customer service and professionalism really reinforced our decision to work with him. What a great choice! Oliver stayed on top of everything, moving swiftly, and making himself available to us at every turn. Oliver has an easy-going manner. He has a personable and encouraging approach that informs without insisting, always keeping our best interest, as buyers, at the for...

Oliver is fantastic to work with. He’s honest, personable, professional, easy to communicate with, and very knowledgeable about San Francisco real estate. We wouldn’t hesitate to work with Oliver again.

Oliver is terrific! My wife and I recently worked with him to buy a house in San Francisco. Throughout the process, Oliver provided valuable perspective and advice, while staying tenaciously on top of every detail. He anticipated and navigated potential obstacles before they arose, which proved crucial in the highly competitive bidding process we encountered. Oliver's responsiveness is exceptional - he was always available when we needed him and stayed in frequent contact. Even after the purchase, he has continued to offer invaluable support and assistance. We highly recommend working with Oliver if you're looking to buy a house!
