Client Reviews

Moved to SF knowing little and found a home we love – Cody P.

There are great real estate agents, and then there are those rare individuals who fundamentally change what's possible for their clients. Janice Lee is one of those people. I genuinely believe we'd still be searching for a home in San Francisco without her.

When we decided to move to San Francisco, we knew little about the neighborhoods, competitive housing market, or unique pricing and offer practices. We also needed to move quickly. After contacting several realtors, Janice immediately stood apart. She called us almost instantly and spent 40 minutes patiently explaining the market and helping us understand our options. That extraordinary level of care and expertise continued throughout our entire experience.

Janice combines exceptional San Francisco real estate knowledge, strategic judgment, and responsiveness with something even more valuable: a genuine commitment to her clients' best interests. She took the time to understand our lifestyle, priorities, and budget, quickly recognizing which homes and neighborhoods would truly suit us. Her honesty was invaluable. She never simply tried to sell us a house—she wanted us to find a home we'd love, feel proud to own, and know was a smart financial decision. Her extensive renovation experience also helped us evaluate properties beyond appearances and understand their true value. We never questioned whose side she was on.

Her dedication is unmatched. Janice was consistently several steps ahead, proactively obtaining disclosures, arranging video walkthroughs, connecting us with an outstanding lender, and making herself available whenever we needed her. She ensured we were informed, prepared, and positioned to make a strong, competitive offer when we found the right home. Even after closing, she continues to connect us with trusted professionals and help us settle in.

What makes Janice extraordinary isn't simply that she's an exceptional realtor. It's that she treats your home purchase with the care, integrity, and discernment she'd want for her own. Regardless of budget, she makes you feel like her highest priority.

Without Janice, I sincerely believe we'd still be searching, potentially compromising on what mattered most. Instead, we found a home we genuinely love, are proud to own, and feel confident was the right purchase.

If you're looking for a San Francisco realtor or buyer's agent, Janice Lee is the person you want representing you. She doesn't just help people buy houses—she helps them make one of life's biggest decisions with confidence. We couldn't recommend her more highly.

An incredible offer just one day after hitting the market – Joel L.

The ultimate San Francisco real estate expert.

Janice Lee is an outstanding San Francisco realtor. From our very first meeting, she came fully prepared with a detailed package of comps for our property. Janice inspected the home and made excellent, strategic recommendations to maximize our sale price while keeping our out-of-pocket staging and repair costs to a minimum.
Her listing strategy paid off seamlessly—we received an incredible offer just one day after hitting the market! Her execution was flawless throughout the entire closing process, her communication was always prompt, and her local market knowledge is unmatched. I highly recommend engaging Janice as your listing agent if you are selling real estate in San Francisco.

A first-time buyer guided through every single step – Rebecca L.

Because of the raving reviews, I decided to ask Janice for help in purchasing a new home. I'm so glad I made that decision. Janice is a true professional. I knew nothing about real estate transactions and she guided me through every step of the process. She pointed out things I needed to pay attention to when viewing properties, spotted defects I would not otherwise be aware of, helped set competitive offer price, assisted with review of tons of documents, and much more. Now I am so happy and excited about my new home, thanks to Janice and her team's hard work. Hands down five star service!

Top-notch local knowledge, strategy and negotiation – Heidi A.

A dedicated advocate every step of our home sale – J. L.

Five all-cash offers well over asking within 10 days – Dennis L.

The real estate market in San Francisco is crazy, like in crazy expensive and unpredictable. When I inherited my parents’ rental duplex in San Francisco and decided that I didn’t want to be a landlord, I enlisted the help of Janice Lee to help sell the property. I picked her because of her excellent Google and Yelp reviews, and also because her office was in the same general neighborhood as the property. At first, I nearly gagged on the cost of real estate agent commissions, but at the end Janice turned out to be worth every penny. After at least 50 years as a rental, the property was in rough shape and needed a lot of work to get into an attractive enough condition to sell. On top of that, the former tenants left behind a lot of stuff that needed disposal. Janice pretty much took care of everything, from cleanup to repairs to needed renovations. She not only located and hired the contractors but even picked out the colors for painting (both interior and exterior) and flooring. It was like she had a sixth sense for what buyers wanted. The only work that was done, and it was a lot, was whatever would pay off when the property sold. The work took over a month, but it was all needed, and I really didn’t have to lift a finger. When the property was finally ready to price and sell, Janice took careful note of both the surrounding market conditions and her perception of buyer sentiment at the time. The timing was good, and within 10 days we had five all-cash, no contingency, offers in hand, all for well over the asking price. We accepted one of the higher offers and the deal closed quickly. As an example of Janice’s careful attention, the buyer reported a possible smell of gas on the property. It turned out to be just the smell of fresh paint, but Janice went to the property in the middle of the night (so I wouldn’t have to) to meet the PG&E tech, check everything out, and get an all-clear. Janice handled all the closing paperwork, from escrow to county filings, in a precise and timely manner. It is now one year after the sale, and there have been no problems whatsoever.

I highly recommend Ms. San Francisco Real Estate to anyone looking for trustworthy and top-quality real estate services. Absolutely deserving of 5 stars!

Responsible, responsive and professional – Winnie C.

Wonderful service. Highly recommended. Janice and her team is responsible, responsive, and professional!

Won the house with no counter offers on her pricing advice – Len F.

Janice was amazing to work with. She helped set our expectations on the house and view we wanted with amount we had to send. Once we found a house we wanted, Janice brought in her contractor to meet with us to review items in the inspection report before we made an offer. We took Janice's advice on the offer price and we got the house without any counter offers. Janice was also very helpful when the sale of our old home caused delays in buying our new home. We would definitely use Janice again if we are looking for another house.

A no-drama, highly efficient approach – Vern N.

Janice was super helpful and most
Importantly very efficient. I have bought and sold lots of houses so I appreciate her no bs, no drama approach. She did very well

Six months of patient searching to find our dream home – Mike S.

We just moved into our dream home, and we couldn't have done it without Janice. Her communication skills, attention to detail, negotiating skills and dedication to the client are so, so great. She patiently worked with us for over 6 months as we toured homes and condos. Her advice and feedback on each property really helped us throughout the process. If you have the chance to work with her, do it! We'll be using her for any future transactions we have here in San Francisco.

Professional, calm and never pushy – Danson L.

Janice Lee – Highly Recommended Realtor This is my first time writing a review about a realtor — or anyone, really. I worked with Janice Lee and had a great experience. She’s professional, calm, and never pushy. Janice offers thoughtful suggestions and knows how to negotiate effectively without any pressure. What I appreciated most is that she respects your independence — she doesn’t try to babysit you. She’ll give clear advice, encourage you to visit open houses on your own, and once you find something you like, she’ll step in and do her best to make it happen. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, honest, and experienced realtor who truly looks out for your best interests. — Leung

Renovated and sold our rough investment property – Wilson M.

We had an incredible experience working with Janice Lee as our listing agent for an investment property. The house was in rough shape after the previous tenant left, but Janice went above and beyond what most agents would do.

From the moment we handed her the keys, she took full ownership of the process. She coordinated everything — from hiring a contractor and overseeing the renovation to staging, marketing, and ultimately closing the sale just five months later. Janice was always on top of every detail, proactive with updates, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free.

Her professionalism, dedication, and hands-on approach truly set her apart. Selling a property can be stressful, but Janice made it effortless. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again for future real estate transactions and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and exceptional agent.

Beat out over a dozen offers in the Richmond District – Breccan L.

Buying my home in the Richmond District was a dream come true, and I owe it all to Janice Lee (Ms. San Francisco)! She’s hands down the best real estate agent in San Francisco. In a competitive market, Janice knew exactly how to navigate the market, prepare us to compete in price and terms and write a clean and compelling offer. She communicated with the listing agent to keep us in the running. There was a multiple counter and with the information she gathered, we were able to beat out over a dozen offers. If you’re looking to buy a house in San Francisco, Janice will help you save money and get the home of your dreams.

Found our view home and made the whole process easy – Callum D.

I’ve kept in touch with Janice for years when we would occasionally come across a property we were interested in. We only wanted a home with a view so we were pretty particular about the location and condition. We saw the home at the open house and liked the home. She scheduled a private showing to point out different things about the home. Her lender she referred to us was patient and closed on time. After closing, she introduced us to her cleaner too. Janice made the whole process easy. During our final walk through, she made sure everything was in the same condition as when we made an offer. If you’re searching for a local real estate agent in San Francisco or Daly City, look no further than Janice!

Got our North Beach view condo for a lower price – Ronan V.

I met Janice at an open house and I liked her straight forward personality. She tells you the truth and the pros and cons of properties. I’m beyond grateful to Janice Lee for helping my wife and I to purchase our view condo in North Beach walking distance to work! She pushed us to move fast to avoid the competition. We were able to get the condo for a lower price because other buyers didn’t come to the table before we got in contract. She’s not only the top real estate agent in San Francisco, but our advocate, negotiator and friend. Janice’s knowledge of San Francisco neighborhoods made the decision to buy easy and enjoyable. She’s nice and likeable. Other agents want to work with her. I highly recommend Janice to anyone looking to buy a house in San Francisco or an amazing condo like mine!

Multiple offers in under two weeks in Miraloma Park – Celeste H.

Hundreds of thousands over asking for our inherited home – Micheal E.

My siblings and I inherited a home in the Sunset and as the trustee, I had to find the best real estate agent to help our family get the highest price for the property. We also needed the expertise of a local expert. Hiring Janice Lee to sell the family home was the best decision we made. The home was in original condition and had carpet. We left the property with furniture. Janice got her team to haul out the garage, rip up the carpet, refinish the floors, paint, update the kitchen and bath to prepare the home for sale. After Janice finished with beautifying the property, one of my family members who did not like the condition of home originally fell in love with the remodeled home. Janice’s knowledge of San Francisco market and her marketing expertise got my family home sold quickly and at a great price. We received multiple offers and hundreds of thousands over asking and significantly above the market comparables. Her dedication, clear communication, and negotiation skills really set her apart. Highly recommend Janice if you’re looking to sell a house in San Francisco.

An effortless sale with four trustees and siblings – Ivy T.

Selling my home felt like a big challenge with four trustees and siblings, but Janice Lee made it feel effortless! From our first conversation, she came prepared with a strategic plan and a sharp understanding of the Outer Richmond market. She’s the best real estate agent in San Francisco. Our family chose to work with her since she knows the Richmond District. She went to our alma mater Washington High School. Once our family hired her, Janice managed everything. She helped get her vendors to paint the home, coordinate with the neighbor to replace a shared fence, staging, marketing, showings, and negotiation. If you’re looking to sell a house in San Francisco, she is an expert. She handled the challenges with our lawyer and lender. This wasn't an easy one, but she managed to keep everyone calm and close on time.

Janice did an outstanding job assisting my sister and I in selling our Mother's home.

Patient guidance for our first home in the US – Jon C.

We were also very fortunate to have Jaince as our realtor two month ago. She is so professional and efficient to help us to find our first home in the US. Being a new immigrant family from Taiwan, Janice was very patient listening lots of questions from us and very responsive to answer our questions and to give us helpful advices. We are also very satisfied with her great services especially in the complicated process of property transaction which our family haven’t experienced in our life. We would highly recommend her to anyone as your realtor and we also believe she will also be your good friend in the end like us.

Her pricing intuition was always dead-on accurate – Kevin J.

Janice is superb at every aspect of her job. She has a ton of expertise in the Bay Area market and it shows-- her intuition about pricing was always dead-on accurate. She is kind, super practical, and no-nonsense. We started working with her having no experience in real estate at all, and she helped us through all aspects of the home-buying process. Her advice on offer price and timing was absolutely critical in getting us the house we wanted. She has my highest recommendation.

Found our first home even when inventory was low – Michelle J.

I can’t say enough great things about Janice! We were searching for a home when the housing inventory was low. Janice was still able to find us several houses to look at on our first meeting so we could get a sense of different styles/layouts of houses in our desired neighborhoods of Daly City and South San Francisco. She is direct, concise, and knows the market very well. Every time we asked her what she thinks the actual selling price would be for a house she was correct. Janice is amazing! She works so hard for her clients and is willing to accommodate our different schedules. As first time home buyers, we leaned on her for guidance and she did not disappoint! She has a no-nonsense, cut to the chase personality. With her expertise we were able to get our desired home! We were extremely satisfied with the timing of our offer, the price, the location, and the speed of closing and escrow process. Her referral for a lending agent was a godsend and everything just fell into place. Her quickness in putting in our offers and her readiness to negotiate and deal with the selling agent was terrific! Thank you Janice! You made everything happen for us!

Sold one commercial and one residential condo for me – Vitaly L.

The right house in the right neighborhood for the right price – Mansoureh T.

We were so fortunate to have been introduced to Janice a year ago. As our realtor, she helped us find the right house in the right neighborhood for the right price. she was so patient and was always on our side working to make our house purchase process as simple and successful as possible. The best part about working with Janice was that she was always focused on answering our questions, giving us good advice, and finding homes that met our needs. We felt pretty confident throughout the whole process that she was protecting us and making sure that we were well-informed with her nitty-gritty advises. Among the characters that would separate Janice from other agents is that she would go out of her way to address any of our concerns as quickly as possible even if that meant working late night or early morning. She was also very patient with us knowing that our home search process might have taken so long. So we would highly recommend her to anyone as she would treat you like a family.

Sold our condo and bought a house at the same time – Wenhan Q.

Janice was the agent who helped my wife and me to sell a condo and buy a house at the same time when the market was so unpredictable and competitive in September. She was extremely helpful, transparent and reliable through the whole process. Thanks to her, the entire process was seamless! We really appreciate her help and would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a top real estate agent in the bay area.

The right offer, no more, no less, and it was accepted – Richard

Janice was the perfect realtor for us. My brother and I have been looking to purchase our first home around the Bay Area and Janice was of great help. She has strong connections in the industry, she has the knowledge, she has the expertise and negotiation skills, and she works really fast and is tech-savvy.

She has a well-developed real estate system. Janice sent us a lot of tailored properties in a daily basis. As soon as we found our dream home listed, we attended an open house on Sunday and decided to place a strong offer for the home the same day after listening to Janice's suggestions and recommendations based on Janice and her team's research. We placed the right offer. No more, no less. A few days went by and Janice called us saying, "your offer has been accepted!". It was a great moment. Very emotional. Everything else was easy as she helped us navigate through the process.

In short, Janice is an amazing and super knowledgeable realtor. She truly cares about you and wants to build a lifetime relationship. She is very dedicated and I think she works 24/7 - you can contact her anytime and she will get back to you very quickly.

THANKS JANICE!!!

Very responsible as the seller's agent – Chen W.

Found my home of choice in a very short time – Beverly C.

Not being very knowledgeable about real estate in the bay area, I was lucky to be referred to Janice, who in a very short time, explained to me the key things about the home buying process.

In addition, she also referred me to a top-notch loan agent who is very professional, extremely helpful, and easy to work with.
