Seller of 1586 Spinnaker Lane, Half Moon Bay
We can’t begin to express how pleased we were choosing Element Real Estate for our recent listing. Matt & Melanie Haugen along with the Element team were a delight to work with throughout the entire process. Having been raised in Half Moon Bay, Matt’s knowledge of the local market was essential and the fact that they are an independent brokerage helped us make smart decisions in a timely fashion. Element is adept at leveraging technology throughout the entire process to maximize exposure, attract more potential buyers and streamline the process. In today’s market once the “for sale” sign goes up it all happens very fast. Matt and Melanie were so responsive and never left us waiting for an answer to our many questions. From coaching us on pre-listing strategies to make certain our house was looking its best to negotiating a multi-bidder sale their service was consistently friendly and professional. Sellers have a lot of eager and well qualified brokers to choose from in Half Moon Bay so it was a careful decision to trust our listing with Element. We could not have been happier with the outcome and encourage anyone buying or selling a home to consider their services.

Buyer of 270 Amador Avenue, San Bruno
I've worked with Janice twice now: once to help me get my first home in San Francisco in 2018, and again for a home to start a family in San Bruno in 2020. Janice has been incredible to work with in both cases. She's incredibly responsive, with a turnaround time of less than an hour in most cases. She's insightful and learns how to predict your dream home quickly; both times I've bought were ultimately recommendations of hers, and they came after only attending 3-4 open houses with her. Her experience with remodeling for a new look or for adding additional dwelling units is extremely helpful as you go forward, and lends to her ability to immediately flag concerns as you tour houses and review disclosures. Her ability to negotiate with sellers and run comparisons will ensure you pay a reasonable price (and she won't pressure you to pay more unnecessarily). Lastly, she's downright fun to work with and brainstorm with! I wholeheartedly recommend her as a partner when looking for a new home and for the ownership lifecycle beyond.
