Charity

Philanthropy and community involvement are very important to our team. Through volunteer efforts and charitable donations we are committed to giving 5% of our income each year to a wide variety of local organizations, and have been doing so since our first sale.

From shelters to school arts programs, from food drives to counseling, we contribute to the organizations that make a positive difference in our community and beyond. If you have a favorite organization that you support, please share it with me.

"We always felt like Lauren truly had our best interests at heart. She showed a high level of integrity and professionalism, and we never once felt pressured, only supported. If you’re looking for a Realtor who is strategic, knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely cares about her clients, Lauren is exceptional." -P.L. Buyer

★★★★★
"We feel so fortunate to have worked with The Krishnan Team recently to sell our house in San Francisco. Yesenia in particular, but the whole team was so professional every step of the way. Their communication was always very clear, they were hyper-responsive, and their advice was spot on both in how to market the house and the timing of putting it up for sale. The quality of the vendors they engaged with - painters, stagers etc. was top notch. They made the process as easy and fun as you could hope for. Could not offer a stronger recommendation." -B.G., Seller

★★★★★
"From our first Zoom meeting, Valerie stood out right away. She’s professional, organized, and really listens. She understood exactly what we were looking for and made the whole process feel clear and manageable. She’s incredibly proactive and always one step ahead. We always felt supported and informed.
Her communication and negotiation skills are truly impressive. She knows how to read the situation, explain options, and move fast when it matters. Everything went so smoothly that it never felt overwhelming, even as first-time buyers. With her smart strategy and guidance, we actually got our dream home on our very first offer!
" -G.K., Buyer

★★★★★
"Ruth and her team did an outstanding job of selling our Pacific Heights home. From beginning to end, she guided us to our goal of getting a fair price (actually more than expected) for our home on a timely basis. For our part we did very little. She planned, organized and executed a plan to prepare our home for the market. Her marketing plan was outstanding. She and her team are professional, experienced, tenacious and easy to work with." -P.D., Seller

★★★★★
"After a terrible experience buying a house in LA, working with Ruth and Maddie was a refreshing lesson in how this process is actually supposed to work.
My wife and I went into this nervous about the market, but their approach to education changed everything. They took the time to walk us through the "past sold" data in deep detail. This didn't just give us information; it gave us confidence. By the time we were ready to move, we understood the market so well that we felt comfortable making a move on a property sight unseen.
The proof of their method is in the result: We wrote exactly one offer and got into contract immediately. No endless cycles of rejection, no wasted time—just a smooth, incredibly efficient path to success.
A few other things that stood out:

  • The Team Approach: You feel the support of the entire unit; nothing falls through the cracks.
  • Design Eye: Their background in design is a massive asset in evaluating a property’s true value (and potential).
  • Integrity: I always felt our interests were placed above their own.
Ruth and Maddie are high-integrity operators who made us feel genuinely cared for. Highly, highly recommended." -E.L., Buyer
