HERE’S WHAT OUR
SELLERS SAY ABOUT US
SELLER - “When we met Colleen, we immediately felt really warmly towards her. We felt that Colleen was really in tune with the conflicting feelings we were going through about selling a house that was not only our livelihood but also had a lot of history and memories. She was so patient and helpful and guided us the whole way without giving us any pressure. She and her team (special shout out to Zoe) were with us every step of the way. We feel that Colleen really had our best interest at heart. In the end she was able to find us a buyer who we felt would love and treasure the house as much as we did.”
SELLER - “My husband and I were referred to Colleen from a friend who had nothing but good things to say about her. We were not disappointed! Colleen and her team are incredibly knowledgeable, professional, warm and appreciative. Although they discussed everything with us before doing anything, we knew we were in good hands and could trust their judgement. They have a team that can handle everything you need to sell a house (painter, handyman, hardwood floors person, stager, etc.). They were able to do everything beautifully but in a very cost conscious way. We never felt we were being gouged and knew we could trust them 100%! We sold our house for much more through her guidance and experience. I would 1000% refer Colleen Cotter.”
SELLER - “I was a first time home seller and Colleen and her team were wonderful to work with. The sale of my house ended up being quick and as painless as it could have been. They have strong relationships within the industry, they know the SF real estate market so well, and they are amazing communicators (sending regular updates and quick to respond). I was, without hesitation, able to fully to rely on their advice to get the best buyer for my home. Colleen along with the team are great to work with, and I can’t recommend them enough! I look forward to working with them again.”

THE POWER OF VIDEO

Being a YouTube Silver Creator award winner is no small feat, and the video views speak for themselves. According to current projections, by 2025, video consumption is expected to dominate internet traffic, with estimates suggesting around 80-82% of all consumer internet traffic will be video-based, indicating a significant shift towards video content as the preferred medium for online information consumption. A large portion of this video traffic will be attributed to short-form videos, with platforms like Instagram and TikTok continuing to see significant growth.
