Testimonials

After interviewing several of the top-rated realtors in San Francisco, I chose to list my home with the Montgomery + Lee team and I could not be more happy. I no longer live in San Francisco and went through the whole sales process remotely, so I needed to find someone who could handle every detail of this listing. Todd and Marcus stepped in and exceeded my expectations on every level.

First, using their trusted vendors, they oversaw a full, internal remodel of my property from start to finish. Even though I had final say on all aspects of the remodel, I consistently found myself following their design instincts every time because they know what buyers in the San Francisco market are looking for.

The marketing for the property was strategic, targeted and generated a lot of interest. Once it hit the market, it received an offer significantly higher than my asking price in just 4 days. And with the help of their amazing support team, closing on the property was so easy - even with me being out of town the entire time.

If I were selling another property in San Francisco, Montgomery + Lee would be the first call I would make.

We have had the absolute pleasure to work with Todd and his team on two occasions - first when buying our loft in 2013 and second time when buying our house in 2021. Not only did Todd provide us with his immense knowledge and true professionalism when making the offer and finishing the deal, but also afterwards. We couldn’t have imagined how much he has helped and supported us along the way! Buying a home in SF is not a trivial task at all and it can get overwhelming, especially if you don’t have a lot of experience in real estate. You have to be prepared to make big decisions in little time and that’s when you better have someone trustworthy who knows the business, can handle all the details and is able to act fast. Todd’s expertise enabled us to smoothly and successfully execute the transaction both times. From the very beginning Todd was always there when we needed him and tirelessly answered our questions in a very timely manner - he makes himself available to clients in a way that you can only admire. Todd made it so much easier to go through and actually understand the disclosure packages, contracts and everything else that is involved. His effectiveness and experience cannot be matched. On top of all that Todd is indeed an amazing person and fun to talk to. He genuinely respects the clients and offers his opinions and guidance subtly and is never pushy. Todd also has a vast network of skilled professionals in different fields so he can recommend someone for anything you might need. If you have a chance to work with him and his team, please do not hesitate. We have wholeheartedly enjoyed the process, thank you so much Todd!

Todd and his partner Marcus were fantastic to work with. They are extremely knowledgable about San Francisco, and take a data-driven strategic approach to what can often feel like a random process. My husband and I had been actively looking for a single-family-home for almost a year by the time we started working with Marcus and Todd. Thanks to their expertise, hard work, proactiveness, and impeccable networking skills, they were able to help us land an amazing place in under two months. I could not ask for a better outcome — I only wish we started working with them sooner!

We’ve worked with the Montgomery and Lee team on a number of property transactions in San Francisco over recent years and the consistency of their professionalism, expertise, integrity and confidence is second to none. Todd and Marcus have demonstrated in each instance that they place our interests above all else and seek to understand what our needs are. This thoughtfulness and integrity is coupled with a sharp understanding of the market and a decisive ability to get deals done. We first started working with the Montgomery and Lee Team in 2020 during a very tricky sale at the start of the pandemic. I was in the process of selling a loft in the Mission and within the first couple weeks of listing it, the pandemic forced the closure of San Francisco, and open houses were effectively shut down. After my property sat on the market for months without much activity, I hired the Montgomery and Lee team to take over my listing from another agent. Todd and Marcus came into the situation prepared to pivot to the new reality caused by the pandemic with a marketing strategy that leveraged technology and showcased the property virtually to a global audience. Any other team would have been intimidated by this sale, but Todd and Marcus conveyed confidence from the start and reassured me they could get it done. Within a couple weeks of taking over the listing, they were able to identify a unique buyer from their marketing efforts and we sold the property at a great price. More recently, in 2022, I enlisted Todd and Marcus in the purchase and sale of 2 single family homes in San Francisco. Again, this was an incredibly sophisticated transaction involving a 6 month rent back to the seller, something lesser experienced agents steered clear of given the tricky legal considerations and inherent risks in a transaction of that length. Todd instilled confidence from the beginning that we could make this transaction work, secure the home at a good price and work with the sellers to ensure a smooth transition 6 months later. Marcus handled the subsequent sale of our existing house and leveraged their connections to identify the perfect buyer before the first open house. Todd and Marcus’s timing and advice were impeccable. Todd and Marcus are clearly well connected across the SF real estate community and particularly skilled at partnering with other agents to navigate complex deals and facilitate access to desirable properties. It is also clear they are both highly regarded amongst their peers. Todd and Marcus are an extremely talented team bringing a command of market dynamics, competitive intelligence, cutting edge marketing tools and sharp negotiating tactics to the table. What I appreciate most of all about Todd and Marcus is that they are good people who operate with utmost integrity and professionalism and represent my best interests in all transactions. I trust them implicitly and see them as a team I will use for the rest of our home buying adventures

I worked with Todd and Marcus to sell 2 and purchase 1 property in the last 9 months (as well as a couple other transactions in years past), which was quite an adventure navigating the coronavirus world especially from right there at the beginning. If there’s one thing I'd say it's that these guys just get it done -- on both the buying and selling sides they have always just seemed to make it happen. I think the secret to their success is pretty simple - great attention to detail and constant availability for clients and buyers, coupled with expertise in the markets they work and valuable relationships with other agents. Could not recommend more.

We first started working with Todd back in 2011 when we were looking to purchase our first home and he also helped us sell the property in 2019. Throughout the process, Todd has demonstrated great patience in helping us navigate the process of both finding a great home that we loved for years but also bringing it to market when we were ready to move on. While the process can be extremely overwhelming, Todd has tirelessly taken time to educate us sharing his vast knowledge about the SF real estate market, patiently trying to accommodate our unconventional ideas while always communicating in a timely manner through email, text or voice as necessary. Todd understands to build long-lasting relationships based on trust by focusing on making his customers truly happy without taking any shortcuts. He consistently went above and beyond the expected holding himself to a very high standard. From coordinating the exit of our tenants, to cleaning/painting/staging and even moving our furniture around, he always spent time to do what was right for us while we were living 3000 miles away. Todd is a dear and trusted friend who happens to also be our real estate agent and anyone having the privilege to work with him should consider themselves very fortunate.

This duo is the most strategically adept and relentlessly effective agents we’ve ever worked with… Todd and Marcus sized this up (our unique property) and developed a customized plan that worked incredibly well. The offer we received a half a week in was far greater than we’d hoped for, setting a record for this type of housing. If you can work with these guys, you’ll be working with the best.

Todd was able to help us move very quickly to purchase our first home. He is an expert on the San Francisco market with deep knowledge about condos which was helpful for us. His whole team was very supportive and he has a great network of additional service providers. Navigating the home buying process is hard but not if you have a great agent!
