I think Shaban is exceptional at what he does, and he got us a great deal on a wonderful house. At every step in the process he was guiding us wisely, encouraging us to think of every angle, smoothing the way for the next step, advocating on our behalf and holding the vision for our family living in this house (even when we couldn’t!). He made a very stressful and complicated transaction go as smoothly as possible. I cannot imagine that there is a better Realtor out there, and I cannot imagine working with anyone else.

Shaban recently helped us purchase a home in San Francisco, and we’re eternally grateful for his help throughout the entire process. As first time buyers we had many questions and sometimes weren’t sure what to expect or do. Shaban answered all of our questions, and guided us through the entire process from start to finish. He also connected us to his network of lenders, insurance agents, contractors, etc which helped us before, during, and after the purchase. Shaban, thank you so much!

Shaban is awesome. We bought our home in SF with his help, and 6 years later when we moved out of town he helped us make it happen. He has a great sense of the market and very wise advice, but he’s never pushy. Really just the perfect partner in a real estate transaction because he can get everything done, communicates quickly and exactly the right amount, but also takes care of lots of things without us having to think about them. Highly, highly recommended.
Jake and Holly
It was a pleasure working with you. I have dealt with many realtors / brokers over my many years in the business. You are among the best I have worked with…. I hope we can do some more deals very soon.
Barry
We have both bought and sold residential and commercial properties with Shaban and have found him to at all times act in the best interest of our family. In addition, he has lawyering skills that are very helpful in the evaluation and completion of real estate transactions. We give him our highest recommendation as he goes above and beyond for those he represents.
Isa and Tony
Over the past five years, we’ve had the pleasure of working with Shaban as our buyer’s agent on two separate occasions. His expertise proved invaluable throughout both transactions. Shaban was always incredibly responsive and available to answer our questions, providing the insightful advice we needed to secure a good price. His dedication and strategic approach were key to getting our first offer accepted in both purchases!
Wahbeh and Matthew
We worked with Shaban to buy our condo in San Francisco. He was always quick to reply, suggested great homes to check out that we may not have found ourselves. When we found the right home, he was quick to act and helped us get our offer accepted on the first home we made an offer on! He was great to have in the space with us as he could visualize ways we may remodel as well. We’re lucky to have had Shaban to help us find our home! I would recommend him to anyone.
Leslie and Sarah
A consummate professional, Shaban is an excellent real estate broker who both helps identify value in properties and who also aggressively advocates on his clients’ behalf.
Matt Metzger
We received 6 offers today and your terms were identical to another offer. We will accept your offer because I am confident that you will close the transaction smoothly.
Listing Agent at Corcoran Brokerage
Intelligent. Capable. Agile. These three words immediately came to mind when describing our experience with Shaban. His ability to quickly grasp the essence of what we were looking for in a home allowed us to target specific and relevant open houses. He is extremely capable in presenting the unvarnished truth in an appropriate and helpful manner which is exactly what we needed during our offer and contract process. Shaban found us a house that inspires dreams and he skillfully guided us and hammered out a winning agreement! He is cool under pressure and absolutely can be counted on to hold things together during tough negotiations and intense loan processes. Without a doubt, we would work with Shaban again!
Sui Lin and Dave
Shaban expertly guided me, a first time home buyer, through the purchasing process despite many external difficulties in the transaction. Throughout the process, I knew Shaban had my best interests in mind and was confident in his ability to advocate for me every step of the way. I was lucky to have him for a deal I think other agents would have walked away from.
Bryan
Thanks for all you’ve done for the school over the years. I won’t soon forget the afternoon you walked into my office and said ‘We got it,’ referring to our accepted offer on Maple Street. That changed the school’s history. Thank you.
Scott Duyan, Former Head of Presidio Hill School
Shaban was very helpful in shepherding the sale of our house (in a very difficult market) from inception to completion. His advice, counsel and follow-through were instrumental in helping us achieve a closing price that significally exceeded our most optimistic expectations. It was a fee that was well earned.
