About
Whether you’re looking for a new home in San Francisco, or getting ready to sell your current one, I’m here to be your partner throughout your real estate journey. Keen on detail, I take the time to answer every question and fully understand your needs so I can help you achieve your goals. As a former family law attorney and mediator, I'm an experienced negotiator, strategist, counselor, and creative problem solver. As a Realtor, I view my role, not as a salesperson, but as a trusted advisor helping people navigate one of the most complex decisions of their lives. Buying or selling a home involves a range of legal, financial, and personal issues, and I'll work hard on your behalf to to take as much stress out of the process as I can so that you can make the move that's right for you.
I'm happy to be a member of the team at Kindred SF Homes, a quality boutique agency backed by a powerhouse tech and brokerage company called Side. As a result, Kindred is a beautiful blend of the finest aspects of a mega-brokerage and an on-your-block real estate shop. Like me, Kindred SF Homes is devoted to San Francisco. Our philosophy is that real estate is primarily about fundamental human needs, and that kindness in thought and action – toward ourselves and toward those we serve – is an essential qualification for our work. Kindred, after all, begins with “Kind.”

Originally from New Hampshire, I received my B.A. from Yale University and my J.D. from UC Berkeley School of Law. I've made San Francisco home for more than 30 years. When I'm not helping clients, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, wrangling our active Boston Terrier dog, exploring San Francisco restaurants, reading, and volunteering in the community – most recently as a court-appointed special advocate (CASA), mentoring and supporting a foster youth in San Francisco, and on the board of our local community garden.
Testimonials
Natalie B.
"We've now bought three homes, and by far, Lisa was the most responsive, helpful, and knowledgeable agent with whom we've worked.
The sale of our home actually involved a complicated legal disclosure and an atypical contingency from the buyers. We wouldn't have been able to navigate/successfully close, and do so above our asking price, without Lisa's insights and expert guidance throughout.
We can't recommend her enough as an agent for buyers and/or sellers!"

"Lisa helped us through every step in buying a home we love in San Francisco. She is very knowledgable of all the unique real estate details of the area. We felt empowered having her as our realtor and she made the whole process a great experience."
Jessica E.
"I HIGHLY recommend working with Lisa! As a first time home buyer, I knew NOTHING about the process and felt very overwhelmed. Luckily, I was in good hands with Lisa. She has ample knowledge on the housing market and gave valuable and helpful advice throughout the process. She is friendly, personable, and a pleasure to work with."
Lindsey B.
"Lisa helped me find exactly what I was looking for in SF! I'd highly recommend working with her -- she did very thorough research and took time to understand what I was looking for, then helped walk me through the entire process."
