Suhl Chin at Zephyr Real Estate

We recently had the pleasure to work with Suhl Chin in selling a condo property in San Francisco in the fall of 2015. From the very beginning, Suhl was direct, clear, responsive and efficient. She quickly took care of the preparations (cleaning, staging, photos, minor repairs) and paperwork to put our property on the market. She fully discussed the options for pricing and kept us informed throughout the showings and during the negotiations for sale.
Suhl is a very professional and experienced agent and her knowledge of the market for our type of property was key to the successful sale. We have bought and sold several properties and Suhl is the best. We enjoyed working with her and highly recommend her.

We worked with Suhl when we moved to SF and were starting the daunting process of buying a home in San Francisco. She has an expansive knowledge of all the different districts in San Francisco. The one thing we really appreciated is she took the extra time to figure out what our likes and dislikes were so that she could better direct us towards a home we would love. She also joined us on every home tour and took notes. This turned out to be very helpful with her keen eye and experience. Suhl is always very straightforward with her recommendations, and was never pushy. After a while, we finally found a home we loved and our offer was accepted. We are extremely happy in our new home and cannot thank Suhl enough for her guidance.

When it came time to help our mother sell the house she’s owned for more than 50 yrs, I called the Realtor who helped us buy our own home 14 yrs ago. Lo and behold, she’s moved away but keeps her pulse in the local market. She has become a friend and we trust her completely so when she told me that Suhl Chin would be the perfect match, we took her advice seriously. From the initial phone discussion, personal meeting at the house to be sold, dealing with inspections, handling offers, closing details, etc, Suhl was topnotch, indefatigable, and the consummate professional! Suhl provided us with resources, options, information, updates, and everything else a seller needs to have to make an informed decision. Most importantly, Suhl was responsive and communicative. Having in-​depth knowledge and an expansive network in the local real estate market is critical. But more than that, Suhl was extremely personable, affable and easy to work with. She does not seem to be daunted by pressure or extreme swings in the negotiations. Bottom line, we could not have been in better hands. Suhl’s assistance was invaluable. She will definitely be up front and center in any recommendations we may make for realty services.

I worked with Suhl when I quickly needed to sell my Pacific Heights condo as I moved to New York. Together she helped me quickly get it market ready, staged, and listed in under 2 weeks (granted, I move fast, too!). She was an excellent coach, knowledgeable, and did an excellent job marketing it.
Suhl was highly responsive and answered all of my questions in a transparent and fast manner. I can’t recommend her enough, and if I come back to SF she’ll be the the woman I call.
Finally, whenever I talked to other brokers and I mentioned that Suhl Chin was my agent all I heard was positive feedback and mutual respect from them. Having a great relationship with your clients is a solid first step, but having a great relationship with your colleagues is also just as important as this is a relationship business.

Suhl is very responsive, efficient, knowledgable, and patient.
Highly recommend!

Suhl was a great partner as I went through the intimidating process of buying a place in San Francisco. She was clear and transparent, and very willing to highlight the downsides and positives of the places we saw. She was quick to let me know about new places coming onto the market, and very on top of what could be good «deals” – e.g. tenant occupied places, off-​market opportunities, etc.
After looking for a while (with the help and visits with Suhl), I ended up getting a great loft with my first offer! I couldn’t be happier with my new place. And it all took about a month from when I moved to the city!

Suhl recently helped my wife and I purchase our first home, and we have to say, we couldn’t have hoped for a better buyer’s agent.
She quickly understood what we were looking for in a home, and was always very flexible with her schedule to accommodate our needs. For example, at some point, we found a very charming place we wanted to buy, and Suhl quickly found out that the listing agents on that property had already received a pre-​emptive offer; that allowed us to try to compete by making our own offer, which she helped us write on a Sunday afternoon, no less.
She was also very patient with us, as we were still trying to figure out which small things we could compromise on, and which traits we had to have in our home. She was also very direct in advising us against certain types of properties when her experience lead her to believe that they would be bad investments, which we really appreciated.
In total, it took us about 2 months from our first consultation with Suhl to having an offer accepted, which we think is very good considering our ambitions and how competitive the San Francisco real estate market is in the Spring.
In summary, she was efficient, organized and attentive. We strongly recommend Suhl to anyone looking to buy a place in San Francisco.

Suhl helped us in our search for a house in SF. She represented us better than anyone we could have hoped for.
My wife and I were new home buyers and Suhl was just the perfect agent to help us guide through the process, learn about all the gotchas and help make the right decision.
She stood by us for over an year until we settled on a place that we felt the most right about!
Suhl always gave us the right counsel and was always gave us an honest opinion on all our questions. She was always right in her estimate of what the price the house would eventually sell for. She always kept our best interest when representing us with the seller. She made the whole process extremely easy for us and was extremely professional. She never pushed us in making a hasty decision and tried her best to always get our questions answered
Suhl is the best agent. We were lucky to have her represent us.

I’ve worked with Suhl for years and always recommend her to my friends. She did a great job of learning what I was looking for (while I was still figuring it out) and identifying places that could be great fits. Two of the three offers I wrote with her were done while I was traveling and Suhl was great about making everything available online to make my life easy.
Suhl’s great at nudging me when I need nudging and leaving me to think things over when I need time.
I finally bought my dream house, but Suhl’s help didn’t end after close. She continued to stay in touch with me and the seller making sure that some loose ends got tied up.
Suhl also has a great network and was very helpful connecting me with an insurance agent, real estate lawyer, etc.
I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Suhl is an excellent agent in the bay area. My husband and I worked with her about an year and we have found our dream home recently! She was very attentive to our specific needs and also very diligently provided us any update on housing market.
Suhl has such an extensive real estate knowledge. She introduced us a loan broker, made quick appointments with inspectors through her connections, etc. Also, she was very quick, positive, professional, and friendly so my husband and I were able to enjoy our first-​time buying process.
Without reservation, I highly recommend her!

My wife and i were successful first-​time buyers working with Suhl. We had previously had a rough first experience with a different agent before deciding to give a Suhl a try instead, and we only wish we had switched to her sooner. She was quick, attentive, thorough, professional, and has a good handle on the San Francisco market, taking a lot of the stress out of the process. First-​time buying in San Francisco will never be easy, but this was as easy as it’s going to get.

My wife and I just purchased our first house, and we don’t know that we could have made it through the process without Suhl’s expert help. We were not in a position to buy a multi-​million dollar residence, yet we never felt like we were anything less than her highest priority clients. Most importantly, during moments of utter desperation (and there were many), she made sure that we remained positive and focused on getting not just any old place, but the right home for our entire family. We would recommend her to anyone looking to buy in SF.

Suhl is THE agent we needed. We did not have a successful partnership with a previous agent, but working with Suhl, we got exactly what we were looking for: close familiarity with the market, staying connected with the agent and the seller to keeping us in the game for a chance to counter. Excellent communication. After looking at a variety of homes, the first place we bid on, Suhl made sure we met the seller in person, stayed connected such that we did counter and, as a result got the house (competing against 17 bids). Remarkable! Thank you, Suhl.

Suhl was actually our fourth buyer agent, and she was the best one out of the four definitely. We had been looking for houses dedicatedly for about 8 months, and been super depressed when we started working with her. However, she was always being just so professional and positive that really help us to hold on to the end and got our dream house eventually. She provides more than a buyer agent has to. We are really glad that we had a chance to work with her. Highly recommended.

It was a pleasure working with Suhl this past November on purchasing our new home in San Francisco! Throughout the process, Suhl was patient, honest, and more importantly, low key! One thing I often dislike about real estate (and the SF market) is how much pressure is put on the buyer to make a decision quickly. My husband and I had ups and downs in our home search, sometimes looking with fervor and often times waiting for a cooling period. Suhl was calm and supportive of whatever our game plan was. I never felt pressure to make any decisions I did not want to. She didn’t bombard us with emails and updates on the market but rather kept it light and personal.
She gave us her honest opinion but respected our decisions. When it came time to make the big plunge she took care of all the details, making our experience simple and easy. She is easy to get along with and easy to talk to; two important traits that a person who is helping you look for a home should have. Because of her great knowledge and experience with the SF market, we got the first house we put an offer on! We are very happy with our home and we have Suhl to thank! Thank you Suhl.

My wife and I worked with Suhl this year to purchase a home in San Francisco. Being first-​time buyers, and not knowing exactly where and what we wanted, it took a little time. Suhl was extremely helpful during this process. She was patient, knowledgeable, professional, efficient, and friendly. In short, she was fantastic to work with. I heartily recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell in San Francisco.

I’ve worked with several real estate agents in California over the years and if there is one thing that sets Suhl apart is that she is 100% on your side. When you combine that with her extensive knowledge of SF and its real estate market you have a realtor that you really enjoy working with and can trust completely. Finding a house in SF can be a lengthy, confusing, and time consuming process and Suhl was infinitely patient thorough multiple offers and even a couple escrows. Never once did I feel pressure to make a move; she consistently gave solid, measured advice and helped me through all phases of the home buying process, which resulted in me buying a fantastic home in the city.
Suhl has an extensive network of people in every aspect of the real estate business and knows SF backwards and forwards. She spent considerable time understanding my tastes and needs, and making sure those were met was clearly her highest priority. It’s clear she is known and respected in the community and in countless open houses – when I would mention to the listing agent that I was working with Suhl their face would invariably brighten and they would exclaim how great she is to work with. In short, she is knowledgable, professional, incredibly helpful, personable and trustworthy. I recommend her to anyone I know looking for property in SF and will undoubtedly call her if I ever want to buy or sell property in SF again. Thanks for everything Suhl!

Suhl was super helpful and patient with my over year long search in SF. After 7 offers, I finally settled and found a great place in SOMA. Thanks for all your hard work, Suhl!

I’ve known Suhl for years. She’s the consummate matchmaker. It’s just how she thinks. The perfectly matched home for this particular person. And she’s quick. And one of the best pricers I’ve seen — she knows what the pricepoints are going to be better than any — and she doesn’t let you waste YOUR money. She helped me buy my first (and only) SF home, which has been an outstanding investment and excellent for my lifestyle.

I would work with Suhl again. She is on the mark, knew what I wanted and above all I could trust her. In fact she talked me out of 2 homes (so glad she did)!
I think the low inventory in the SF market doesn’t work in any agent’s favour. There are no bargains and hence it’s important that when you do find the right home, you GET it. Suhl makes sure of that.
