Testimonials

We had an amazing experience working with Todd Montgomery and his team at Montgomery & Lee when looking to buy our first home on the Peninsula. We worked closely with the fabulous duo of Todd Montgomery & Rob Smith and they were able to help us find the home of our dreams in 7 months. After a few weekends together viewing homes they understood our visions and the aspects of the home that were important to us. As first time home buyers, we found comfort in knowing they were available at all times of the day - and no questions were too small to ask. Todd and Rob were always there to keep our spirits high and when it was time to put in an offer we knew they had our best interest in mind and we wholeheartedly appreciated their guidance. Todd & Rob are professional, kind, personable, communicative, available, and are truly with you every step of the way - even after they hand you the keys to your new home. They are the best in the business and we cannot recommend them strongly enough.

I worked with Todd and team to sell my apartment. He worked very hard to make each step of the process easier… and was always available for questions. Todd gave me very good advice at several crucial points in the process. I recommend him as someone you can trust.

We've worked with the Montgomery and Lee team on a number of property transactions in San Francisco over recent years and the consistency of their professionalism, expertise, integrity and confidence is second to none. Todd and Marcus have demonstrated in each instance that they place our interests above all else and seek to understand what our needs are. This thoughtfulness and integrity is coupled with a sharp understanding of the market and a decisive ability to get deals done.

We first started working with the Montgomery and Lee Team in 2020 during a very tricky sale at the start of the pandemic. I was in the process of selling a loft in the Mission and within the first couple weeks of listing it, the pandemic forced the closure of San Francisco, and open houses were effectively shut down. After my property sat on the market for months without much activity, I hired the Montgomery and Lee team to take over my listing from another agent. Todd and Marcus came into the situation prepared to pivot to the new reality caused by the pandemic with a marketing strategy that leveraged technology and showcased the property virtually to a global audience. Any other team would have been intimidated by this sale, but Todd and Marcus conveyed confidence from the start and reassured me they could get it done. Within a couple weeks of taking over the listing, they were able to identify a unique buyer from their marketing efforts and we sold the property at a great price.

More recently, in 2022, I enlisted Todd and Marcus in the purchase and sale of 2 single family homes in San Francisco. Again, this was an incredibly sophisticated transaction involving a 6 month rent back to the seller, something lesser experienced agents steered clear of given the tricky legal considerations and inherent risks in a transaction of that length. Todd instilled confidence from the beginning that we could make this transaction work, secure the home at a good price and work with the sellers to ensure a smooth transition 6 months later. Marcus handled the subsequent sale of our existing house and leveraged their connections to identify the perfect buyer before the first open house. Todd and Marcus's timing and advice were impeccable.

Todd and Marcus are clearly well connected across the SF real estate community and particularly skilled at partnering with other agents to navigate complex deals and facilitate access to desirable properties. It is also clear they are both highly regarded amongst their peers.

Todd and Marcus are an extremely talented team bringing a command of market dynamics, competitive intelligence, cutting edge marketing tools and sharp negotiating tactics to the table. What I appreciate most of all about Todd and Marcus is that they are good people who operate with utmost integrity and professionalism and represent my best interests in all transactions. I trust them implicitly and see them as a team I will use for the rest of our home buying adventures.

2020 Review

Todd is, hands down, the best real estate agent I've worked with in San Francisco. He is professional, data driven, creative, ethical, business-minded and an incredibly skilled deal maker. I had a listing in the inner mission that went on the market with a different agent shortly before covid and the shelter-in-place restrictions. After having no offers for almost 60 days and now faced with a citywide shut down, prospects were looking grim. I hired Todd to change our selling strategy. Todd and Marcus came prepared with a detailed strategy on how to navigate the Covid-impacted real estate market - leveraging technology, virtual tours, better photos, a revamped marketing strategy and creativity to target the right buyers for our property. Within 2 weeks of changing agents, we had accepted an attractive offer and sold our property within the month which I'd say is nothing short of a miracle. Todd turned an extremely stressful situation for me into one where I felt confidence in Todd that he would manage every aspect of the deal and the relationship with the buyers in a way that had my best interests in mind and took the pressure away from me to manage the details. As a person who has bought and sold many properties in San Francisco over the last 2 decades, I would say that Todd is amongst the best of his profession and I will trust him with all my future deals.

We've worked with Todd & Marcus on three different transactions (one purchase & two sales). Not only are they experts on the SF market, but they are very responsive and make the process a breeze. They absolutely knocked it out of the park on our most recent sale -- we handed off the keys and they handled everything from supervising the loading of the movers to preparing our home for sale. Five weeks after we moved across the country they brought us 8 offers and we closed 10 days later.

Search no further for the best real estate team in San Francisco! I've worked with Todd, Marcus and their amazing group (Sandy, Brad) on 3 real estate transactions in San Francisco (2 purchases and 1 sale). In every case, the process has been seamless from beginning to end thanks to their deep knowledge of the market, smart strategy on offers, and ability to move quickly with their strong relationships across the industry. Most recently, I purchased a single family home in Eureka Valley, in the most competitive price segment. Todd and Marcus not only helped strategize on the best offer to get the home over several other strong offers, they helped ensure a tight 19 day close without any issue!

I cannot sing the praises of The Montgomery & Lee Team loudly enough. If you're navigating the often-overwhelming world of buying or selling a home in the San Francisco market, look no further than this incredible team. From my initial consultation to the day The Montgomery team sold my home in a very short period of time. My agent, Rob, was an absolute superstar. His in-depth understanding of the local market trends, combined with their genuine care and attention to my needs, made what could have been a stressful process feel remarkably seamless. I had to relocate to New York City for work and with Rob's amazing guidance, we were able to market and list my home in under a week with the final sale coming a week or so after. This was an incredible turn around! Rob also went above and beyond at every turn. He was incredibly responsive, always addressing my questions swiftly and thoroughly. His proactive communication kept me informed and confident throughout the entire journey. When it came to negotiations, Rob was a fierce advocate, ensuring I got the absolute best deal possible. What truly sets The Montgomery & Lee Team apart is their unwavering commitment to client satisfaction. I never felt like just another transaction. The entire team was supportive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. They patiently guided me through the complexities of the process, breaking down confusing jargon and ensuring I understood my options. Selling a home under a time constraint is quite stressful and they made the process as smooth as possible. Because of Rob and The Montgomery & Lee Team I was able to sell my home over ask. If you're serious about finding or selling your perfect property, I wholeheartedly recommend Rob and The Montgomery & Lee Team. Their professionalism, market expertise, and genuine care for their clients are unmatched in the industry. You won't regret placing your trust in this exceptional brokerage.

Marcus and your Team (shout out to Sandy Ta) could not have been more professional, knowledgeable and thorough in every detail involved in the recent sale of my condo in a very difficult market. They arranged vendors and offered me options to consider. They stayed on top of the work being done and kept me informed at all times. I highly recommend Marcus for being able to gauge the current market conditions and complete the sale in a very timely and non stressful way. Thank you again. Outstanding service.
