Testimonials

I was very impressed with Eric’s knowledge of the San Francisco market, the quality of properties that he presented, and his research of future developments that could have an impact on the value of the properties we toured. His organized presentation of the different properties we visited was excellent. Eric’s communication skills and friendly personality were a great asset in our dealings with the sales agents of the condominium properties we selected. He was able to negotiate a price that met our investment requirements. I am very pleased with the end result.

Eric Johnson could not have done a better job in representing me as both a seller and a buyer. First during the selling process, Eric helped me time the market just right and maximize the value of my house. He also guided me through the closing process without any issues even-though we were working with a extremely difficult buyer. Then during the buying process, Eric's knowledge of the market helped me land a luxury condo at a price well under market. Eric actually renegotiated the deal three times during the closing process as the market softened. Eric knew when and how to leverage this information to my advantage.

My faith in Eric Johnson, as a result of the work he did for me, is evidenced by the fact that I referred my parents to him in their purchasing of an investment property in the San Francisco. Eric again used the same steadfast approach and helped my parents purchase a very well performing rental unit.

I will continue to use Eric Johnson as I buy and sell properties in San Francisco. Having worked with other agents before and thinking I was getting good service, I now know what great services is and will not go back to using other Realtors, I will stick with the best, Eric Johnson.

I had the privilege recently of using Eric Johnson as my realtor in both the purchase and the sale of my residences. There truly are not enough superlatives in the English language to describe how wonderful this working partnership with Eric turned out to be! I have already referred 3 friends to Eric, and will continue to do so. As one who has bought and sold many properties, and worked with many realtors, I can say with some experience behind me that none has ever come close to providing the extraordinary and professional service that Mr. Johnson and Afi Real Estate provide. From plant purchases for staging (all on his own!) to spackling picture hook holes before closing.....from speeding up the close to suit my scheduling needs, to making sure every "t" was crossed, and every "i" dotted on all the volumes of necessary paperwork...from dealing with market fluctuations properly to being ever accessible to an overly involved client (me), Eric Johnson is simply the best! Eric managed to keep my hopes high by being the hardest working, most adaptable and persistent agent ever. Multiple offers are his forte on the selling end. Making sure the buyer is absolutely sure and comfortable with the offer is his strong suit on the buying side. I could not be happier with the process or the end results in both of my transactions, thanks to Eric's hard work, great aesthetic sensibility, high intellect, excellent communication skills, and ability to close a deal!

Just wanted to thank you for all of your hard work in helping us get this done. Your professionalism & thoroughness gave us a lot of comfort and confidence in going forward with the purchase. We really felt like you sought to protect our interests and always seemed to go the extra mile. We would recommend Afi + Associates without hesitation.

Stan Phillips helped me buy my perfect home in the East Bay. Stan listened to what I wanted and then used his experience in the industry to seek out my specific home. As I was in the market for a very specific and somewhat unique property, the process was challenging; however, Stan made it look effortless, spending multiple weekends with me looking at houses and letting me choose the path we were going to take so that I could see what was on the market, yet knowledgeably guiding me toward what I had described as my key interests. I quickly became aware of how fortunate I was to have a real estate agent that had worked both on the developer side for new construction in urban areas as well as had worked on the builder side for residential construction in suburban areas. Stan's expertise allowed him to issue spot items he knew were or would be of concern to me within 5 minute of being inside a home – which saved a lot of time. His foresight and insight forestalled what otherwise could have been potential hiccups during the home buying process. Stan's industry knowledge coupled with his keen ability to negotiate and bargain on my behalf, allowed me to find my perfect home with the confidence that I would be happy in it for years to come.

Stan Phillips sold my home in San Francisco in record time. Stan's cognitive presence and forethought were evident in the manner in which he went about researching how to perfectly price my home to create a flurry of activity in such a short period of time. His expertise in the SOMA and other San Francisco areas is unparalleled. I was thoroughly impressed by his knowledge and enthusiasm for what he does. In my opinion both of these elemts are key and made all the difference in the sale of my home. It was obvious to me that real estate, and everything about it, is not just a job, or even a career, for Stan. Rather, real estate and everything about it is is his passion. Stan's countless hours of pouring over comparables, trend statistics, market data and other research yielded me the result I wanted and I am very grateful to Stan Phillips.
