Madeline Gibson is a Buyer’s Agent with The Krishnan Team, where she has spent the last four years helping guide clients through San Francisco’s competitive real estate market. Having supported more than 360 successful transactions alongside the team, Maddy brings a deep understanding of the buying process, strong market knowledge, and a calm, solutions-oriented approach to every client relationship.

Before transitioning into sales, Maddy played an integral role in the team’s operations and buyer support systems, working closely with clients from initial search through closing. Her background in technology sales, lending, and transaction coordination gives her a well-rounded perspective that allows her to anticipate challenges, communicate proactively, and advocate effectively for her clients.

A former Division I collegiate athlete at the University of California, Santa Barbara, Maddy thrives in fast-paced, collaborative environments and brings the same discipline, work ethic, and competitive drive to real estate that she developed through athletics.

Outside of work, living in the Marina neighborhood with her fiancé, she takes advantage of the Presidio and waterfront trails for running, cycling, and hiking. She also enjoys going out to eat in San Francisco’s vibrant food scene, traveling, concerts, and cheering on the Los Angeles Dodgers — despite proudly calling San Francisco home.

"I can't recommend Ruth, Maddy and their team for buying in SF highly enough.

I often joke that Ruth is the Queen of San Francisco real estate. The truth is, she's more earned the title. She brings decades of SF real estate experience, unmatched market knowledge, and a design background that proved invaluable during walkthroughs and comps pointing out details I missed. Moreover, she is universally respected among SF agents. Every time I mentioned at an open that I was working with Ruth, the other agent's response was always some version of: "I love Ruth—she's incredible..." or "Oh wow, you're working with Ruth?!" That's the kind of agent you want advocating on your behalf on offer day.

But Ruth is truly the Queen because she combines being consistently exceptional with being a caring, genuine, and fun person. She takes the time to learn not just what you are looking for in a home, but who you as a person. Because of that, her advice was always grounded in what was actually important to me, even when I could not articulate it myself. She talked me down from listings that weren't right for me (even at the expense of a higher commission) and helped me with unmatched patience, a fierce determination, and lots of laughter to find the perfect home for me. And when we found my perfect home, she had the expertise and know how to guide me during every step of the process to secure it ahead of other offers.

The San Francisco market is incredibly competitive. You need someone smart, strategic, responsive, and deeply connected. Someone who knows the nuances of each neighborhood and the personality of the agent sitting across the table. But just as importantly, you need someone you love working with, who makes it her mission to practice happy real estate for herself and her clients. Ruth does both beautifully; I couldn't imagine buying with anyone else here.

Thank you so much Ruth and Maddy!"

"After a terrible experience buying a house in LA, working with Ruth and Maddy 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 Maddy are high-integrity operators who made us feel genuinely cared for. Highly, highly recommended"
-Eric L., Buyer
