I want to take this opportunity to thank Stasi & Tori for the excellent job getting my Loft sold. Being an out of town owner can be quite challenging trying to organize all the tasks necessary to get a unit sold. We started with a tenant we had to get to leave amicably, get it inspected, repaired, inspected and ready for the market. All of these activities were done seamlessly and from my point of view without worry or hassle – given they took care of all the details.
We then discussed and agreed on the pricing and staging (which turned out to be important) and got things rolling. The open houses went well and in short order closed at our asking price – something we were not expecting.
This was probably our third or fourth time working together with Stasi, from sales to rentals, with all our experiences exceeding our expectations and afterward feeling more than satisfied.

For the second time in less than a year, Stasi and Tori's knowledge, expertise and professionalism together with their diligence and willingness to go the extra mile to insure that repairmen and others had access to the property when necessary culminated in an almost effortless (for me) closing.
Also impressive was the fact that every communication was responded to in a timely manner and included substantive details and not cursory replies.
It was a truly pleasure working with Stasi and Tori.

I have worked with many agents in the past 10 years and I was truly impressed with Stasi's professionalism & competence. Buying and selling real estate is very stressful & even though I am a not an easy person to work with she made the process a lot easier than it has been in the past. She is dedicated & knowledgeable, and has a lot of disposable resources at her fingertips. I have proudly referred her services to several of my friends & when the need comes will definably consider using her again.
- Connie M.
Stasi was very organized & very committed on my finding a home that met my needs. Her knowledge & organization skills were very useful in guiding me through the financing & buying process. Above all I appreciate her patience while I worked through my frustration with the lending & home buying nightmare. I found her to be highly response to all forms of communication & especially sensitive to my difficulty to communicate during work.
While I was apprehensive of using an agent due to my concerns that their desire to close a deal would negatively influence my purchase, I found her to be more balance than expected.
I would recommend Stasi and her organization any time.

I was referred to Stasi by my leasing agent. I met her in mid-July and knew from the start, she was the right agent to represent me in the sale of my loft. She packaged a gorgeous marketing book for my loft and the advice given was spot on, in regards to timing the market and the listing price. She and her assistant Tori went out of their way on many occasions to present and stage the unit, which I really appreciated. They are so thoughtful and work very hard to get the deal done!
The entire experience was seamless, professional, fun (yes fun!) and extremely organized. The fact that the turnaround was under 21 days, speaks highly of Stasi's incredible knowledge and understanding of the market here in San Francisco. She possesses all the great traits an agent should have: honesty, analytical, tactical, great listening skills, excellent communication, triple-checks paperwork & amazing work ethics.
I cannot wait for my next purchase, because there is no doubt in my mind, Stasi will be the person I will call to once again represent me! I wish her and her team the very best!

We have bought and sold properties over the last 30 years and we can say, without question, that Stasi Martin is the most professional, sensitive, organized and competent real estate agent that we have ever had the privilege to work with. She lays out a strategy, keeps to it, provides support when things don't work out (and frequently, it is impossible to anticipate everything that might happen!), she is there to calm us down, stay on point, speak clearly to others and make it happen.
We would recommend her as the best in her field--someone who knows real estate, knows the San Francisco scene, likes people and stays on top of everything. We were lucky to have her on our team. Her assistant, Tori Patton, is a jewel.
You can't do any better than Stasi.
- Dale & Iris G.
We are so, so happy about the apartment. It's the right one and timing is perfect as well. I wanted to thank you for all your support, patience, kindness and of course your professional assistance.
- R. Binur
I found working with Stasi to be very enjoyable & educational. Since this was my first time with selling property, Stasi provided a lot of information & was very helpful with every step of the process - from the beginning with researching competitive properties to the end with signing of the final papers. I can not express enough how grateful I am for all of the assistance.
My property definitely provided its challenges with it being co-owed with my siblings (three owners), it being partially rented with a tenant with 'protected status' (it was a two unit building), as well as other challenges with a property management company & the state of the property. Although the experience was tedious, tiresome & challenging, Stasi remained professional throughout the entire process. I admired the patience she demonstrated as we tackled many issues & thank her for that.
Selling my property was a long process, but Stasi never backed down or gave up. I felt she gave 100% with every step which was a major accomplishment as I know I was not her only client. She made herself available to discuss issues, & was very timely with returning phones calls and/or emails. I will remember this experience and will recommend Stasi to any potential buyers or sellers.
- A. Stark
We were so pleased and impressed with Stasi's creative approach to marketing our condo, her intelligence and strategic prowess, availability, caring, and concern which were responsible for a most expeditious and enjoyable experience and sale. Your team exhibited professionalism at every stage of the process. We thank you!
- I. Litt
It is rare in these days of depersonalized and computer generated services to find a person and a real estate company that it can be truly said they care about their clients, their needs and add a very special set of skills and qualities to their work. This is particularly true for Stasi Martin and her staff at McGuire.
Not only were we treated with respect and keep informed almost every moment, it seemed as if Stasi anticipated what was going to be needed in the transaction--from start to finish--she was at least two steps ahead of the process and even more from our perspective as her clients. She was professional, respectful of our tenant and made promises that she was able to keep. A rare talent in these days of financial hardship for many!
So, please count us as her fans and we would be very happy to share examples behind our words to anyone who wants to sell, or to purchase for that matter, real estate in San Francisco. We will be forever grateful for her kindness, her positive outlook and her ability to perform.

Stasi is a very knowledgeable, well-prepared and balanced agent. My wife and I just used her for a purchase and we were consistently impressed by her level of expertise regarding the buying process, understanding of the micro SF market dynamics and overall professionalism.
We have always been wary of agents, to be honest, given that they have a huge incentive to push to get a transaction done so they get a fee. Stasi, however, was very balanced in advising us on the negotiations in our transaction and we felt she always was looking out for our interests. In fact, we found her to be quite valuable to the overall process and would look to her to help us buy or sell another property without hesitation.
We also asked a lot of questions as we are first time buyers and she patiently and thoughtfully responded to all of our inquiries.
Stasi also is very responsive to all forms of communication (text, email, v-mail). And she is also going above and beyond her duty to help us find a handy man to prepare the property before move-in.

Regarding my experience with Stasi, all I can say is it has been wonderful. I’ve been working with her for over 7 years (how time flies) where she was involved with me buying two Lofts SOMA and even helped with the rentals. I’ve always found her advice right on, something we all need during these challenging times. What I like most of all is that she is dependable and accessible no matter the time of day or night, weekday or weekend.
I do know one thing, that if I were to buy or sell any real-estate in the city it would be with no one other than Stasi.
- J. Carollo
I recommend Stasi to all of my friends without hesitation, especially first-time home buyers. Stasi is very knowledgeable, helpful, and efficient, an incredible negotiator, and patiently guided me through every step of the process. Even better, she was a pleasure to work with! I am extremely happy with my first home and could not have done it without Stasi.

As a San Francisco homeowner and real estate investor in SF residential properties, it has been important for me to work with a top-notch agent when buying or selling my properties. Stasi has been my preferred agent for almost a decade. Here is a short list of the qualities that she has displayed in representing me and my best interests over the years: trustworthy, knowledgeable, intelligent, hard-working, reliable, sparkling personality, detail-oriented, a great communicator and negotiator, and more.
I recommend Stasi without reservation to anyone who wants and expects the very best from a SF Bay Area real estate agent, especially in these challenging times.
- R. Baker
Working with Stasi was truly a pleasure. I was impressed with her professionalism and her knowledge of the market. She was on top of the transaction from start to finish. Being an out of state investor/owner, it was important for me to find someone who was accessible, intelligent, and hard working. I found everything I was looking for in Stasi. Thanks to Stasi, her team, and her list of contacts, my SOMA loft received a complete facelift and was market ready in two weeks. I accepted an offer less in than two weeks after hitting the market. I will undoubtedly use her services again.
- K. Wang
I recently moved countries (out of the US), and Stasi pretty much completely handled my entire sale, from moving out to closing, while I was on the other side of the world - I think that speaks volumes.
I bought my first place through Stasi and had a great experience so came back to her for selling it. She was again awesome - awesome execution and attention to detail and keeping me informed - and I got the price I asked for. I've very happily referred her to my friends over the years.
I can't recommend her highly enough!
- J. Bailey
I bought my first place with Stasi, and am so glad I did - every last detail was handled and with alacrity and I never had the slightest worry about the whole process. This was especially important to me as I had a lot of unplanned/short notice travel during the purchasing process. When I buy my next place, I am staying with Stasi - no question.

Working with Stasi was truly a pleasure. I was impressed with her professionalism and her knowledge of the market. She was on top of the transaction from start to finish. Being an out of state investor/Realtor, it was important for me to find someone who was accessible, intelligent, and hard working. I found everything I was looking for in Stasi. Thanks to Stasi, her team, and her list of contacts, my property received a complete facelift and was market ready in two weeks. I accepted an offer less in than two weeks after hitting the market. I will undoubtedly use her services again.

Stasi is a true professional in every sense of the word. Responsive, always available, smart, insightful, up-to-date on the latest market conditions, listens and responds to the needs of her clients, friendly and fun. She kept me involved in every step of the process while taking care of all the details and requiring very little from me (although she was happy for my questions). In today’s complex marketplace, her experience and skills are invaluable. You will not regret going with Stasi!
- G. Montana
Stasi Martin is, all-around, the most outstanding real estate agent I have ever worked with. Though my wife and I had not actively considered selling our loft in SOMA, Stasi’s extraordinary level of contact with serious buyers made it possible for her to present us with a firm offer without our property ever going on the market. After a painless contract phase, she worked tirelessly to chase down loose ends and ensure that everything from close timing to title changes went smoothly. I would highly recommend her to anyone considering buying or selling property in San Francisco.
