SUE MAHLSTEDT & RUNA MAGOWAN TEAM

Great experience working with this team on consecutive transactions! Petra handles the front end of deals and is extremely proactive and insightful about how to set up a sale as well as how to find and evaluate purchase prospects. Sue deals with the back end and is prompt and precise with getting all the endless paperwork done. Both are always available and communicative when you need a second or third or fourth opinion or just want help finding your way through the insanely and uniquely complex maze that California real estate has become. But above all else, Petra and Sue are as honest, open and empathic as an agent can be when you're looking at a property and you're not quiiiiite sure how to proceed. I found them to be great judges of character who are able to key in on what their client actually wants, needs, and doesn't want or need in a property. That's the kind of trustworthy team you need behind you when you dive into this market!

DREAM TEAM!  Simply stated, I would not have my new home without Sue and Petra's keen understanding of the Bay Area market.  I was a 10% down buyer in a market where cash buyers and preemptive offers are king.

Sue personally presented my offer to the listing broker and seller, and she stayed with them at the property until the deal was signed (literally hours!).  I'm convinced that had she left without a signed contract a preemptive offer would have come in and I wouldn't have been able to compete.  

Sue and Petra are simply amazing. They helped us find our first place. Things moved very quickly - and they instantly provided all their support to get everything in order. They are master negotiators and helped us get our dream place within our budget. What I love about them is that they will not push you to make a decision. They always listen to your needs. I think that is very important and instantly builds trust. Being first time home buyers we had tons of questions and they patiently walked us through everything. They were available to us anytime for any question and wanted to get us very comfortable as we were closing. Plus they both have such a positive personality which makes it great fun to work with. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell their place.
