What My Clients Say

Vivian was just incredible! So amazing. We are first-time homebuyers and know absolutely nothing about how to buy a house. Vivian first hopped on a call with me and told me so much about the world of home buying and answered the millions of questions that I had. After touring a few houses she helped us put a bid into a home and bam we were in escrow. 21 days later, we became homeowners. Throughout the entire process of escrow, she helped us in so many ways, explained everything in a detailed fashion, answer my endless questions, and made the entire process so smooth. She is extremely knowledgeable and also knows a ton of great vendors. We asked her for referrals for everything and we used everyone she recommended. You will not go wrong choosing Vivian to represent you. Highly highly recommend it!

What My Clients Say

Just wanted to thank Vivian for another stellar job. She found a property in the only location I really ever wanted to live. Couple of highlights that I want to share include the offer letter she sent, and the discussions we had on the loan piece. The offer letter was probably what got the property awarded to me. I believe the smallest details there, broke any ties that I had with other bidders. From there I needed to show them the money. So on the loan piece, we had to go through quite a few different options, but the communication line stayed open and we made it happen. If there was any breakdown in communication in this phase, I would have lost the property. But everything worked out! Thanks again, Vivian! Not only have you sold a property for me in the past, but you have also found me a place as well. Keep up the great work!

What My Clients Say

Vivian is truly a great real estate professional. She is always available, extremely knowledgeable, and consistently goes above and beyond. She is honest, hard-working, and capable. When things got a little stressful with the sale of my home she was there to reassure me and calm my nerves. She also helped find good contractors that were able to complete work on a very tight timeline. This is the second transaction I’ve been represented by Vivian and I am totally satisfied. I highly recommend her for any real estate needs you have in the Bay Area.

What My Clients Say

It’s our immense pleasure to recommend Vivian Lee to anyone persons looking to purchase a home in the bay area. We’ve rented in San Francisco for 20+ years and when considering buying our first home, in this very competitive real estate market, we needed an expert. Vivian was very patient and thorough while we toured homes. When COVID-19 started she was very gracious when we decided to put our search on hold and was ready to start back up again as soon as we were. Vivian is a highly attentive agent. She made us feel like we were her only clients, although we knew that was not the case. As first-time homebuyers, we relied on Vivian’s impeccable knowledge of the bay area market. We followed her lead and were able to purchase the first condominium on which we made an offer. As a master negotiator, Vivian came up with a deal that was good for us as well as the seller. She also managed to negotiate some perks like minor fixes and a home warranty on all of the appliances. Vivian is one of the best Realtors® in our opinion and when we plan to sell our place and buy a new home, Vivian will be the first person we call.

What My Clients Say

Vivian was an extreme pleasure to work with through the entire process. Her knowledge of the area and the market were so valuable and she took the time to find out what we wanted in the process. Personally, we didn’t want to invest a lot of effort in preparing our home for the market and Vivian understood and respected that from the very beginning. She gave us options on what we could do, told us the cost/benefit of each, and worked with us closely every step of the way. During the offer review stage, she provided fantastic advice and I am convinced she was the best person to sell our home. She knew what was important to me and honored that. I would recommend Vivian to anyone who wants to pursue selling or buying a home – she will not disappoint!

What My Clients Say

We worked with Vivian since the Fall of 2019 in the search for our home and feel we have really gotten to know her personally and professionally. She is very thoughtful, hard-working, and professional yet personable and has great communication skills. Whenever we reached out she responded very quickly and always stayed in touch, even during the shutdown. She earned our trust and helped us to find and ultimately buy our home which had multiple offers in a very competitive neighborhood in the Spring of 2021. Vivian is very knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make us happy and we are very thankful to her for everything she did for us!

What My Clients Say

My wife and I have put Vivian through the wringer these last three years, having looked at over a hundred houses in San Francisco before finding the perfect house for us which we recently purchased in the Lakeshore District, with her representing us. And that’s in addition to having her list, show, and choose tenants for the rental properties we also own. Through it all, Vivian has been reliable, dependable, and very accurate in her market analysis and conditions in the unpredictable world of San Francisco real estate. She is easy to approach, flexible, knowledgeable and promptly returns phone calls, emails, and texts, and always goes to bat for us. I can’t say enough good things about Vivian and she will be our real estate agent of choice for as long as we are here and a good friend for life. Plus, our kid loves her–an added bonus. Thanks, Vivian!

What My Clients Say

After discovering a very stressful problem with a rental property I owned in San Francisco, living out of the city, I turned to the best resource I knew, a Realtor®, and luckily I found a knowledgeable professional, Vivian Lee. She was able to provide me with referrals to the professionals I needed to deal with the problem. Over six months and through my heart surgery Vivian periodically would check in to see if there was anything else she could do to assist me. It was a “God send”. Unfortunately, the problem could not be resolved and I finally decided to sell the house. Yes, I listed it with the best agent I knew, Vivian Lee. She walked me through the mound of papers surrounding a real estate transaction and a 1031 exchange. She was always available for questions and able to provide quick responses. She is a five-star agent.

What My Clients Say

My wife and I couldn’t have had a better Realtor® than Vivian. She helped us find a lender and guided us through the process in a very friendly and professional manner. Vivian worked very hard for us and kept us informed every step of the way. She pays close attention to details and her expansive knowledge was indispensable to us as first-time home buyers. Vivian was available to us 24-7 and was very prompt in responding to any questions we had. Thanks, Vivian, you are awesome!

What My Clients Say

Vivian Lee is a dream to work with. She is awesome and razor-sharp, she knows what to do, and she knows how to make things happen with ease and amazing grace. I work insane hours and she made it easy—offering to help in many ways. She is knowledgeable, educated, experienced, sweet, fun, and a real gem. The other thing is she is genuine and down-to-earth. You definitely want her on your team. She is a stellar agent and a wonderful human being.

— Janell U.

What My Clients Say

We were skeptical when we started the search for our first home. Linda and I were expecting our first child in May, but Vivian assured us we’d be able to find a home before the baby arrives. Vivian was very flexible when working with our schedules, was considerate of our needs, and always made herself available. On top of her admirable work ethic, she brings a keen eye when evaluating homes, a strong grasp of real estate market dynamics, and diligently kept communication channels clear between all parties involved throughout the transaction. Buying a home can be a daunting process, but we’re glad we had Vivian in our corner and look forward to working with her again.
