About Nina
With over 32 years of experience in real estate, Nina Hatvany has represented clients
in over $4 billion dollars in sales transactions. Her in-depth knowledge of all aspects
of San Francisco real estate is truly unmatched. From 2008-2015 and again in 2017,
2018, and 2020, Nina has been ranked the top individual agent in San Francisco, and
has been recognized in the Wall Street Journal as one of the top 35 sales agents by
volume nationwide across all companies for 2009-2015, reaching as high as #9 in that
time span.
In 2016, Nina formed Team Hatvany with her three adult children, two of whom are
attorneys, and one a former New York City real estate agent. Together they represent
all property types and price-points in San Francisco; both buyers and sellers of
houses, condominiums and apartment buildings. In 2021, Vanessa's husband, Aaron Sagin, joined Team Hatvany as a sales agent. In 2017-2021 Team Hatvany was the
Top Producing Team in San Francisco! Team Hatvany was also named the #12 Small
Team in the United States in 2020 by the Wall Street Journal (as measured by
transaction volume) and #15 in 2021.
Nina is single-minded in her pursuit of her clients’ desires, whether to sell at the best
possible price or to buy the perfect home; she makes it her business to get her clients
what they want. Her incredible work ethic is complemented by her gracious, even-
keeled demeanor and her commitment to exceed expectations in every
transaction. Nina’s interest in real estate sales stems from her 30 years in
development, building townhouses in Palo Alto, refurbishing and operating apartment
buildings and renovating 20+ homes in San Francisco. Along the way, she acquired a
contractor’s license. Previously, Nina was a Professor at the Graduate School of
Business at Columbia University. She holds an M.A. and Ph.D. from Stanford in
Psychology with a Business concentration, and is widely recognized as one of the
best-trained negotiators in the business.
Nina has resided in San Francisco for 35 years with her husband and has raised their
three children in the City. She is active in the community and a board member of the
San Francisco Housing Accelerator Fund, an organization dedicated to putting together
innovative financing for low- and moderate-income housing projects. She is also an
Honorary Board member of Larkin Street Youth Services, an organization that serves
homeless youth. Nina is consistently sought out by the WSJ, New York Times and SF
Chronicle, among others, for her insight on today's market.
