Valerie managed to do the impossible: find the perfect home in our dream very competitive neighborhood AND help us win it in our budget.
The SF market is a little crazy right now, but this was a stress free process. Valerie handled everything: scheduling private showings, disclosures, inspections, coordination with lending team, offers, comp analysis, negotiations, etc. Valerie was easy to reach, communicate with, and work with. She was our direct contact for everything.
Valerie caught things in disclosures that I wouldn’t have thought of and encouraged buyer inspections/due diligence if certain things weren’t provided by the seller. It felt like she truly had our backs the entire time.
Valerie and the Krishnan Team have a stellar reputation which clearly was evident in our discussions with listing agents and throughout the process. I would highly recommend Valerie. We had an amazing experience with Valerie, her colleague Sam, and the rest of the Krishnan Team.
I began working with Yesenia Beatriz of the Compass Krishnan Team at the beginning of this year after several years and countless unsuccessful offers trying to land a San Francisco property. We knew from our first zoom meeting with Ruth Krishnan and her team that this was a polished group. Yesenia, who became our agent, assured us that most of their buyers get into contract with their first or second offer, a claim we doubted at first given our prior experiences, yet that is exactly what happened with us, as we just recently closed with our second offer in a very heated San Francisco market. In our case, Yesenia used her savvy in talking to the seller’s agent to ferret out a price the seller would accept. Yesenia, throughout the searching and contract process, knew the market, steered us to properties within our reach, made certain we understood the entire process and all the voluminous documentation, was always available and quickly responsive, and has continued to be available to us for any advice on hiring tradespeople to do desired upgrades on our new purchase. We highly recommend Yesenia and The Krishnan Team for their personalized professionalism!

Ruth Krishnan is incredibly professional and deeply knowledgeable about the San Francisco real estate market. From market insights to offer strategy and everything in between, we felt confident and well supported from day one. Choosing Ruth and the Krishnan team to help us find our home was one of the best decisions we made.
This wasn’t our first time buying in the Bay Area, but Ruth brought a level of structure and insight we hadn’t experienced before. One standout was the “past sold” exercise she guided us through. It helped us clearly define what a true 10/10 home looks like for us, where we’re willing to compromise, and how realistic our expectations were within our timeline. It was thoughtful, practical, and genuinely useful in shaping our search.
Throughout the process, Ruth’s experience really showed. She had a sharp sense of pricing strategy, knew when a home was intentionally under or overpriced, and guided us on exactly how to position our offer.
We always felt taken care of. When we wanted to see a home quickly, she made herself available, even rearranging her schedule, and when she couldn’t make it, Madeline stepped in seamlessly. She also gave us access to off market opportunities, which was a huge advantage, and we ended up purchasing one of them.
Communication was smooth and consistent. Ruth was always responsive and clear over email and text.
Her attention to detail is exceptional. When we received disclosures and inspection reports, Ruth organized everything into a clear, easy to follow summary table and highlighted the key points. She also created a detailed property Q&A document for the listing agent and seller, which helped us stay organized and make sure we covered all the right questions. She took the time to walk us through everything and made sure we felt comfortable at every step.
Her team was just as strong. They were quick, organized, and easy to work with. When we needed to schedule a tank inspection, they handled it right away and kept communication clear throughout.
What we appreciated most was Ruth’s honesty. She is straightforward, gives real advice, and isn’t afraid to say what needs to be said, even if it’s not what you want to hear. That level of trust is rare.
When we arrived at our new home for the first time, her team had left cleaning supplies, a gift, and a welcome mat. It was such a thoughtful touch and a great way to start this next chapter.
In the end, we only had to write one offer and it was accepted, which says a lot.
If you’re looking for a top real estate agent in San Francisco, I highly recommend Ruth and her team.
We had an incredible experience working with Lauren Neuschel and the Krishnan Team at Compass for our home purchase in San Francisco. From the very beginning, Lauren stood out with her highly data-driven approach. When we were evaluating our condo, she provided extensive, detailed data on comparable sales within the building, days on market averages, and the historical relationship between listing times and final sale prices. She always made sure the data supported our decisions, which gave us tremendous confidence in a complex market.
Lauren is also incredibly patient and deeply informed. We had a lot of questions about the process, the property disclosures, and the HOA documents. She took the time to hop on calls and carefully walk us through every single page of the disclosure packets and contracts so we fully understood what we were signing. Even when we had moments of doubt and considered walking away from a property, she was completely supportive and never pressured us, prioritizing our comfort and long-term happiness above all else.
Negotiation definitely wasn't our strong suit, but Lauren was an absolute lifesaver. She helped us craft a smart, competitive offer strategy, advising us on how to carefully structure our contingencies to make a lower offer much more appealing to the seller. Thanks to her expert guidance and on-the-ground intel, we successfully secured our home on our terms.
We cannot recommend Lauren highly enough. If you want a realtor who is knowledgeable, endlessly patient, analytically sharp, and fiercely advocates for your best interests, she is the absolute best person to have in your corner!
I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Yesenia Rogers of the Krishnan Real Estate Team. A few weeks ago, Yesenia successfully sold my home in San Francisco under extraordinary circumstances that exceeded every expectation I had for the process.
From the moment I engaged the Krishnan Team, their "turn-key" service set them apart from every other agent I interviewed. Unlike traditional agents who leave homeowners to manage repairs and preparations themselves, the team has an in-house network of trusted contractors and vendors. Under Yesenia’s direction, they completed targeted upgrades on my property that enhanced its appeal without unnecessary delays or hassle. This seamless coordination was an exceptional advantage and directly contributed to the outstanding results we achieved.
Yesenia and the team brought my home to market on an impressively quick timeline, perfectly positioning us to capitalize on current market conditions. The marketing, staging, and professional photography were first-class in every respect — sophisticated, high-quality, and far superior to anything I had seen from other agents. The listing presentation, copywriting, and overall visual impact made my property stand out immediately.
The results spoke for themselves: my condominium home received three competing offers right at the first open house. Yesenia’s sharp negotiation strategies secured the highest offer, and the transaction proceeded with a strong cash buyer who closed escrow in just one week. The entire process ran with remarkable efficiency and smoothness, from start to finish.
What truly impressed me was Yesenia’s personal involvement and professionalism. Despite the size and strength of the Krishnan Team, I never felt passed off to an inexperienced assistant — Yesenia was my consistent point of contact and clearly a seasoned professional who thought on her feet and navigated every detail with expertise. I always felt genuinely cared for, and it was evident that she consistently placed my interests above all else. Her integrity, calm demeanor, and ability to ease the natural stress of selling a home made the experience far more pleasant than I anticipated.
Having worked with other agents in the past, I can confidently say the difference was night and day. The Krishnan Team’s design background proved to be a significant asset, informing thoughtful upgrades and staging decisions that added real value. The entire team operated with the highest level of coordination and support, making me feel supported every step of the way.
In short, Yesenia Rogers and the Krishnan Team delivered an exceptional experience that not only met but significantly exceeded my expectations. I received outstanding service, achieved a strong financial outcome, and felt completely confident throughout the process. I recommend Yesenia without hesitation to anyone looking to sell (or buy) a home in the competitive San Francisco market. 4-24-26
