"My review for Jeff is long overdue. Last year, Jeff helped me purchase my first property in San Francisco. I was a nervous wreck with so many questions and concerns, but Jeff was a true partner and absolutely amazing at navigating me through the process. He gave me incredible, candid feedback on the different properties and questions I should be following up on. Given my budget, I took a look at several properties that would have required some work. He was fully on board and shared resources to help me better understand the opportunities and risks. When it came to the apartment I ended up buying, he was a complete professional. The selling agent was from out of town and hadn't followed the typical process, which created a lot of back and forth. He completely advocated for me when I had some concerns based on the inspections and shielded me from some nonsense that came up with the seller, only sharing them with me after everything was said and done. In the end, we were able to settle on terms that I was very happy with. I know Jeff's expertise is on the selling side, but his thoroughness, patience, and professionalism makes him a great agent on the buying side as well. Would definitely hire again!"
"Jeff is awesome! He is extremely knowledgeable and professional and so great to work with. His level of experience made what can sometimes be, a stressful experience, go quite smoothly. I would highly recommend Jeff and leverage him in the future."
"I met Jeff in 2014 as I was the trustee of my parent's home in San Francisco. Jeff had a most impressive presentation which included a hard bound book containing possible listing information and pictures of the house exterior. Although I was not ready to put the property on the market at that time, Jeff kept in touch for seven years with no pressure, but gave updates and answered any questions I may have. The property was finally ready to be put on market this year but not until we had to do fairly extensive repairs and remodeling. Because of Jeff's extensive knowledge of construction and city codes, he guided the process through many bumps along the road. More importantly, Jeff always made me feel that I was important whenever we spoke and never that I was wasting his time. When the property was approaching listing, Jeff jumped into another gear that lasted until the close of escrow, while keeping me informed along the way of possible setbacks. His knowledge and honesty was key to providing proper disclosures in the sales contract. The property sold quickly and all parties were happy with the transaction. Could not ask for a better outcome from beginning to end."
"This was the second time I've worked w/ Jeff Salgado in San Francisco; he helped me buy my house & then, 10 years later, represented me & sold my house. Jeff balances friendliness & professionalism in an effortless way, while showing his experience & knowledge of San Francisco real estate as a true star. Not only did Jeff offer advice & expertise in ways that paid off financially, he was realistic in what my limitations were. All of his recommendations for third party work were some of the best & easiest companies I've ever worked with. And his timeline for selling the house actually happened effectively. I think my house was on the market less than one week, w/ offers much higher than the listing. If you are looking to sell, or buy in San Francisco, I recommend, without hesitation, to look to Jeff Salgado, his record stands as witness, & hopefully I can be another positive reason to use him, in writing this review."
"Jeff is amazing. We first contacted him in the middle of the shelter-in-place due to COVID for selling our multi family in Bayview. We were owner occupants and needed help getting our property both ready for the sale and listed. Jeff helped us through a 8 month period, recommending vendors and contractors for various repairs at our home, and also provided us with advise for what kind of finishes to get. He is very clear with his communications and was available anytime we had questions. We listed the property and hit some snags with our initial buyer but Jeff ironed it all out and helped us complete our sale. He was very professional throughout and helped at every step of the process."
Watching Jeff sell our house was like watching a conductor with a symphony. His execution and results were perfectly in alignment with his initial pitch and projections, literally down to the dollar and day. I especially love his clear talent in psychology, not sure if he's a savant or he just happens to have mastered a second field in his spare time.

Jeff is awesome! He is extremely knowledgeable and professional and so great to work with. His level of experience made what can sometimes be a stressful experience, go quite smoothly. I would highly recommend Jeff and leverage him in the future.

Jeff is an amazing realtor. He's helped my family with three homes in SF. All three were very different, with one being a rental property. He is SO knowledgable and excellent at his job. It's very clear he knows the market, what sells, what works, what doesn't, and knows how to get his clients what they want. We were all very happy with Jeff, the work he did, and all the time he spent patiently walking us through the process. I would wholeheartedly recommend Jeff to anyone looking for an outstanding realtor. You will not be disappointed.
Helene R.
I cannot possibly sing Jeff's praises strongly enough. After owning my home for 30 years, I chose Jeff to sell it. At every turn, he was prepared, responsive, helpful, professional and highly competent. There were big decisions to make, that mattered to me (i.e. the sale price, the choice of stager, the home improvements worth making, the length of time to keep the house on the market, selecting an offer, etc.) and for each one of those, his advice was spot on. My house sold today for way over asking and he knew exactly how to make that happen. I'm so grateful to him, he is exceptionally trustworthy, and I recommend him 100%.
David M.
My partner and I went through the entire buying process with Jeff, and it was fantastic. He not only helped us identify a great lender (that could accommodate our unique situation), but he also helped us identify a couple awesome architects to choose between, a solid contractor, and he even came to our house after we moved in and couldn't figure out how the heating worked to help us with it which was above and beyond what we would have expected from the typical realtor.
Ben G.
Jeff made the whole process of getting the property ready entirely painless, and when it came time to sell, he priced it perfectly and we walked away with considerably more than we were anticipating. He gets an uncompromised 5 stars from us!
