"Bistra is "the Bomb"! She worked hard with a smile and managed to sell our big building way over asking. She was very supportive and professional helping me deal with a very difficult co-owner. Then she was there to help me find a new home in a great neighborhood. Thank you very much fabulous Bistra!"

"I worked with Bistra and her team in selling our SF home. She is friendly, and charming, has a fine eye for architecture and interior design, and helped produce exceptional marketing material for our home. Her advice and suggestions were always spot-on and in the end we were able to sell our home in record time and 300K over asking."

"Bistra is a very skilled real estate agent. Thanks to her excellent work, our San Francisco Victorian building sold for well above asking price. She was always available to answer our questions and provided excellent assistance with the daunting task of getting our place ready to sell. She was especially adept at mediating the differences that arose between my TIC partner and I regarding all the decisions to be made during the process of selling a home. She is both an excellent listener and communicator and was a joy to work with."

"The process for selling my house was a long and stressful one. William & Bistra were a rock throughout the whole process. I honestly don't know if I would of been able to hang in there with out there support and hard work. They truly went above and beyond even holding open houses every weekend the house was on the market. Thank you so much for everything!"

"Whether you are just looking or ready to consider buying, you need a solid agent on your side. Bistra has been our rock by helping us navigate the tough and at times confusing market. As you work with her, you’ll immediately feel confident that she has the experience and expertise and she is honest. Responsive and organized, Bistra alleviated the heavy lifting from us and made the buying process easy. Every single time, she had our interest at heart and she never pressured, just armed us with insight, tools, and guidance. It was all thanks to her negotiation skills that we got our dream home and we’ve been telling all of our friends and family that she’s the best! 5 out of 5 stars!"

"4 years ago, I worked with Bistra and purchased my first home - a 2 bed / 2 bath luxury condo unit in downtown SF. She was my real-estate agent, financial consultant, confidante and friend throughout the entire process.
This was such a positive experience that when my fiancee and I decided to buy our single family home together, we knew that we only wanted to work with Bistra.
Bistra is, first and foremost, a wonderful human being who just wishes you well and wants to be there to support you through an often challenging home purchase process. She is knowledgeable, has all of the right contacts, always makes time whatever the hour may be, and is honest with the guidance that she provides. This support extends beyond the actual home purchase. She will help on the legal side, with getting cleaning services and home decor amongst other things.
The purchase of my first condo was a breeze. For our single family home, because of lender issues, we ran into all kinds of complications and needed several extensions for closing. Bistra was with us every step of the way, guiding us, ensuring good communication with the seller's agent, and doing her best to keep everything in check despite all of the challenges. I'm convinced that without her help, the purchase would not have gone through.
In summary, Bistra was just fantastic to work with, and I will be referring her to friends and family every opportunity I get."

"I highly recommend Bistra to anyone who is looking to buy a home in San Francisco. We are so grateful to Bistra for helping us to buy our first home that we love.
The San Francisco real estate market is notoriously competitive, and we were feeling very overwhelmed and stressed out. However, Bistra quickly put us at ease and made us feel confident that we could find a home that we loved and could afford.
Bistra was incredibly knowledgeable about the San Francisco real estate market, and she was able to quickly identify the neighborhoods that would be a good fit for us. She took the time to understand our needs and wants and was always proactive in answering our questions.
I especially appreciated Bistra's patience and understanding. We know that we were a lot to handle as first-time buyers, but she never made us feel like we were asking too many questions or being too picky. As first-time buyers we were unsure of exactly what we wanted. Bistra scheduled viewings and worked with us to discover just that. She advised on the process of getting the best deal with the lenders, through to making the offer, negotiating the offer, and closing on the home. All the way to moving in. She always went the extra mile."
~ D. Ramgopaul, Cisco, Buyer

"Bistra is a proactive agent who is willing and capable of taking on and completing major remodeling projects in a short period of time. Project management and budgeting was an enormous task and Bistra moved those projects to completion on schedule. While some projects went over budget (as might be expected), Bistra always worked with me to ensure that costs did not get beyond what I could afford to pay while still paying my living expenses over several months. I thought we made a good team and when I was stressing she was the calm in the storm, always taking my calls and following through to quickly resolve issues at hand. I was always impressed by Bistra’s professionalism and would recommend her to anyone."

"We met Bistra in 2019 at an open house at the condo building where we were renting. That same year we bought our first home but in hindsight, we passed on a great opportunity to work with a wonderful realtor as Bistra. Luckily, we reconnected at the right time in 2021 when we were looking to sell our first home as well as buy our second home. Ours was a very unique situation given that we were trying to buy a new home before we could sell our existing home. Our budget was very tight and it involved a lot of work to find the right home in the competitive Bay area market. However, Bistra was up to the task consistently guiding us through the process, and patiently touring so many homes with us. Bistra is a very astute realtor who works on your side because there were so many instances when gave us the right input preventing us from making the wrong decision. She was fully committed to making sure we end up happy with our home purchase. Unfortunately, we could not find the home we wanted and decided to rent. However, we were absolutely sure that we wanted Bistra to be our seller agent to sell our current home. The outcome was beyond our expectations and we are so glad that we decided to work together again. Bistra ensured we did not overspend beyond our budget for home sales and priced the home smartly for maximum buyer attention. She even helped us select the right stagers with modern taste and an amazing photographer who made our home look stunning. In a soft SF condo market, she was able to get us multiple offers within the first week. We decided to hold an offer date 10 days after our listing, and the final offer was exactly what she had promised us. We would definitely be using her services when we buy our second home. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a buyer/seller agent who partners with her clients every step of the way"

"Thank you Bistra Bejanski! It was a pleasure doing business with you, for a second time. You brought the same qualities to being my realtor that I appreciated when we worked together back in 2017. You listened to my objective(s) and continually wove them into every step of this journey. Your communication was -- as before -- clear, constant and on point. I never had a doubt or concern that you didn't have every angle covered. And, I don't believe that a large percentage of realtors would have had the same drive to manufacture the success that this transaction ultimately became. Let's do it again sometime ;-)"

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Bistra when looking for my home. I can't speak highly enough of her. I met her while looking at one of her listings. She patiently answered my questions as I explained my housing budget and criteria. She helped me locate another place. She encouraged me to make an offer, even though it was below asking but within my budget. She said, let's try and it worked out. And that was just the beginning of how Bistra facilitated the whole home buying process. She found the necessary tradesmen when needed, she helped resolve issues to make the whole purchasing experience easy and stress-free. I plan to use Bistra the next time I need a new home."

"From day one, we knew we were in good hands with William and Bistra in the sale of our San Francisco home. At every step, they kept us completely informed, including about some of the more technical complexities and the glitches that inevitably arise. They are a great team, extremely trustworthy and reliable, and a delight to work with. In an uncertain market, thanks to the excellent coaching William and Bistra gave us, we sold our San Francisco home for well above our asking price. We could not be more happy!"

She was extremely responsive and helpful throughout the process -- I had many questions and she was very patient in answering them all as well as booking viewings very quickly when I was interested in a place and providing me with some very thorough itineraries for each viewing day. She was also great about helping me find different loan options with all of the litigation in SF.During the closing process, when I was stressed about certain aspects, Bistra was great at navigating various difficult situations and making me feel like she had my best interests at heart. Even after closing, she has been great at providing me with resources and information that she thinks I might find useful."

"Bistra has been the best realtor we had in the last 20 years. To illustrate how good she is, we bought the first condo she showed us on the first day of the showing. This illustrates one of her great strengths: she listens to your requirements and comes up with a list of homes that are fine tuned to what you want. She is also extremely fast in responding to your emails/texts and phone calls. She responded to all of our emails within 10 minutes. She also provided a lot of support and guidance throughout the entire closing process, making sure that everything was taken care of with various parties. We will definitely use Bistra again in the future."

She really impressed me how knowledgable she is about a real estate market. It was especially helpful that she gathered great background info for each property. She really wants to make sure that you are happy with what you purchased! She is incredibly detail-oriented when reviewing the agreements. She has been very helpful and responsive all along the way.

“We've worked with Bistra in the last 3 years from fine-tuning what we want to the point of finalizing the purchase of our own home in San Francisco. What stood out was Bistra dedication, and we felt confident as would catch problems we might have overlooked. We felt assured when she would draw attention to critical details in the offers we made. She has proved we can trust her in the intricacies of the bidding process for properties we liked, and at the end she guided us in the barrage of documentation that an actual purchase had involved. We highly recommend Bistra and plan to work with her again.”

"If you're looking for a property and you need an agent, look no further. Bistra is the best. - Bistra is an extraordinary communicator. She responds immediately, about everything and anything you need to know. She makes sure you always know what's going on and her explanations are clear and concise. - She's organized and thorough. We get every document from her in a timely manner that allowed us to make smart, well-informed decisions. She provides extra value above and beyond her competitors. When we didn't have time to talk to contractors, inspectors or our lenders, Bistra advocated and negotiated on our behalf with numerous third parties. As we all know, buying or selling a property is an excruciating process and she beares most of the burden for you. Highly recommend!"

"We were introduced to Bistra about 3 months ago for a property we were buying with some partners, and since then she has been an amazing resource throughout! She's been incredibly responsive and consultative. Even after the property closed she's continued to go out of her way to keep in touch and offer her expertise/advice in helping us set up an HOA and rent out to tenants. She also took some amazing pictures of the property in her free time on her professional camera to help us out after the fact. I can't say enough great things about my experience working with Bistra and would be happy to refer her to any of my own friends"

"Bistra is very dedicated, knowledgeable and professional agent. We are a first time home buyer and didn’t have any experience with the process of purchasing a home. She not just helped us with the house hunting and putting an offer together but as well, connected us to a loan agent who was able to get us 0.5% lower interest rate. Bistra is very well-informed about the housing market and was able to guide us every step of the way, providing us with all the possible choices so that we can make the best decision. She demonstrated incredible negotiation skills that got us the best deal. I highly recommend Bistra to anyone who wants to buy or sell a property! Without her, my dream home wouldn’t be a reality. "

"Bistra is amazing!!! She is by far the most hardworking, kind, and wonderful agent out there! I am a first time home buyer in this crazy SF market, and Bistra has been scouting 4-5 houses a week (sometimes more!!). She is available day or night - by phone, email, even text. I've never once had a message go unanswered - and often her responses are within 15 minutes! She is super knowledgeable about the housing market, how to make an aggressive offer, and putting together a good packet for sellers. She also has lots of connections - to contractors, financial planners, and mortgage lending firms. She is a true advocate and I feel always has my family's best interests at heart. After 9 long months of looking due to my tiny budget, Bistra helped me find my dream house!! Just closed last week and I couldn't be happier. I cannot recommend Bistra enough!! Definitely work with her if you get the opportunity - she will work her butt off for you! Thank you Bistra!!!"

"I originally came across Bistra at one of her open houses. We had a short casual conversation about my goals. I was interested in the unit, but it wasn't the right time for me. I didn't think anything of it as realtors appear to be a dime-a-dozen, (sorry realtors). Apparently, she made a mental note of everything I said in that brief conversation and soon began to engage me - not with what I can do for her, but feeding me anecdotal observations across her existing real estate transactions which quenched my thirst for unique insights into the market. Soon she approached me with an off-market property that was very intriguing, and timely as my finances fell into order. Again, providing value. I saw the property once and we soon started the long dance of negotiations with the seller. Here is where her talents really took over. Despite the differences and personality of the seller and myself, she has the talent to keep the conversation going. I think at times both parties were ready to walk away, but she kept introducing idea and logic into the negotiations. I believe she also shielded me from some of the negativity - she made for a great filter for a need-to-know. But maybe most importantly, she never let me wonder. She never left me guessing. She never let one of my text messages or emails go unanswered for more than 45 minutes. Every time I tossed a question at her, sometimes stupid ones, she answers immediately. When she had an action item for the seller, she executed it amazingly quickly. For my personality, that's important. I expect my representative (of any industry) to be an extension of myself, and that she did. Now I'm a proud owner of a property in SF. Thank you Bistra for nurturing my goals from window shopping to reality."
