Seller

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.

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 had a somewhat unique property sale of a very large, luxury condo in Noe Valley that had some challenges attached to it. Todd took care of every aspect of design, marketing, and finding the perfect buyers for the property. He and his team were detail-oriented and extremely responsive throughout the process. I think both us and the buyers are going to be happy with the final outcome which is the ideal outcome for all of us. Strongly recommend this team.
