Misha Weidman

Misha is a fantastic agent. He helped me purchase my first home, and taught me all there is to know when taking such an important step.
I would highly recommend him to any buyer/​seller. Misha does more than the necessary due diligence, he is always accessible and explains everything there is to know.
Thank you again! I hope we can work together in the future.

A few months ago, Misha very successfully handled every aspect of the purchase our dream house in Bernal and the subsequent sale of our old house in Crocker-​Amazon.
San Francisco being in the throes of the toughest and most brutal real estate market in memory, we knew that we had to hire the best all-​round realtor we could find in order for us to even have a chance. Of the 3 realtors recommended to us that we interviewed, Misha was by far the most impressive and he certainly lived up to our highest expectations.
We started out with a list of pretty difficult (and in hindsight, unrealistic) requirements but Misha never pressured us, instead he patiently worked with us and opened up whole realms of possibilities with his out-​of-​the-​box big-​picture thinking. Once we found our dream home, again, it was Misha’s superb tactical thinking and impeccable timing that allowed us to prevail with our (comparatively modest) bid in this town of all-​cash offers and overbidding wars.
We can’t recommend Misha more highly: He is honest, reliable, & hardworking; has a breadth and depth of knowledge of the market; and to top it off is amiable and very easy to work with. Possibly as a result of him being both a chess master and a lawyer, he seemed to have an uncanny knack of anticipating the other side’s positions and at the same time was a master in the art of the deal once we got down to the trenches.

Misha did a wonderful job representing us in the sale of our condominium.
He was energetic, thoughtful and diligent. Because he has such a wide range of experience in real estate, he was able to guide us through the process skillfully. Most important, he put in all the time we needed to assist us and guide us through the process of marketing our home.
We are both attorneys, and it was particularly important to us that he was very careful and professional. Also, we were first time sellers and there was a lot we didn’t know. Misha was always available, and patient, with our many, many questions.
Misha provided great advise at each stage of the process, and simply devoted a lot of time and care to helping us, leading to a great result.
And, he was always pleasant and fun to work with.

Misha is a great business partner — He was the agent who assisted us for the purchase of our first home. His knowledge of the SF real estate market was invaluable, as well as his ability understand exactly what you are looking for. He is fair, smart and does not play games. We have recommended him to friends since then.

We found Misha to an outstanding partner in our move from Paris to San Francisco. Given we were living so far away it was important to be able to rely on Misha to manage the process of finding our dream home and once we did, to have his help in the process of the transaction that is complex enough without out it being also foreign and occurring several thousand miles away!
Misha’s knowledge and expertise of the San Francisco market was a tremendous help in the search. We were pretty focused on the Noe Valley area and he has a lot of knowledge on the neighborhood as well as a lot of data to add insights. He tuned in quickly to what our needs were and fortunately we were lucky to find the perfect house in Noe Valley.
He is also fluent in French with a good understanding of the local French community. For an executive moving from France to this part of the world, its great to have an agent that knows what to look for to make that transition a bit easier.

Misha has been great throughout the entire process. This was our first time buying in the US, so we had to be educated.
We also were not sure of what we wanted to buy, went through quite a bit of flip flopping about the location, or whether we would buy a single family, a multiple units, a fixer…
Misha has been very patient, very thorough and articulated. He has a very big breath of knowledge from past experience related to the real estate business — lawyer, landlord, agent, contractor.
Once we found the house we wanted, he proved to be very skilled in the negotiation stage, driving us to «win» the house amongst multiple offers.
He also went beyond what I expected of an agent, lining up contractors and experts to help us evaluate a renovation budget.
And he is also a fun guy to hang out with :)

As first time home-​buyers, my wife and I were unschooled in the nuances of San Francisco home buying. Misha was recommended to us as the best agent in San Francisco and, after working with him, we’re convinced that is true (and have recommended him to many friends).
Misha has many qualities that set him apart. First off, he put us at ease with the entire process due to his polished and professional, yet no-​pressure style. He takes a data-​driven approach to understanding the market (as analytical professionals in technology, we liked that), and he patiently educated us as to the process each step of the way through many late nights and myriad contracts and documents.
Misha also has an incredible detail orientation and tenacity in negotiation that no doubt comes from his legal background. He managed a complex team of players (the seller agent, lawyers, mortgage brokers, inspectors, and so on), and drove the process with an assertiveness that ensured the other parties delivered exactly what we needed on an expedited timeline. You know you have a great agent when even the seller agent subsequently tells you he’d never worked opposite someone who so completely had his customer’s back.
Overall, we felt completely taken care of every step of the way. Our interaction with Misha was one of the best service experiences we’ve had and we wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone considering a home purchase in San Francisco.

Easy to rate…
We bought a house in San Francisco with Misha’s help few months ago.
We are french and completely unaware of how it works here.
Misha has been very thorough, very clear, meticulous and precise in every step.
Because we were not used to the process, he made sure we understood everything! Even if it meant for him to repeat himself several times… In French and in English!
Misha’s advices were very good. He never tried to influence us in any way but made sure we had all possible options and clear information to help us decide whether to go one way or another.
I did like the way he sometimes «thinks out loud». You just listen and you see all his mind processing with all the «what ifs…» and the «if we go this way…».
The process went very smoothly and we are now happy homeowners in our new home.
Thanks Misha!
