REVIEWS
- We cannot say enough wonderful things about Miesha Morgret!! My husband Chris and I just closed escrow on our first home, and we are so grateful for Miesha’s knowledge and professionalism throughout the process. From the start, Miesha was a class act. As first time home buyers, we had no idea how to even begin to navigate the home buying and home search process. Miesha was extremely accommodating and personable and spent hours with us discussing our wants and needs and helping us understand the entire process. She was always available via call or text for our last minute questions, and she worked closely with our mortgage broker who spoke so highly of their working relationship during our real estate journey. Miesha went above and beyond on so many occasions, and we were thrilled to find the home of our dreams with her help. Miesha, thank you so much for making our dream of becoming homeowners come true!! You are wonderful at what you do, and we couldn’t recommend you more highly!!
Britta G.
- Miesha helped us when we were stressed out home sellers trying to downsize. She gave us so many great ideas and suggestions. She works really well under pressure and pays attention to details. She is also a joy to be around. She gets excited about properties and I highly recommend her.

- I bought my first home (condo) with Anna and Dennis in 2016 just before my husband and I got married and needed a place to live in SF! The experience with Anna and Dennis as my buying agents was so fantastic that when it came time to sell the property, there was no question that we wanted Anna and Dennis to represent us. It was a no-brainer and easily one of the best decisions we ever made. BUYING EXPERIENCE: Anna spent every weekend with us, driving us around to different areas of town to look at properties and familiarize us with SF. I was amazed at how much Anna and Dennis cared to find us, not just “a” property, but the RIGHT property for us. They weren’t interested in just making a sale, like so many agents, they really cared about our needs and boxes we needed to check. In fact, the added bonus of them having experience developing homes, proved invaluable. They were wise on foundation and structural issues, what areas were considered earthquake zones, what properties were finished well, which ones were not, etc. They wouldn’t let us buy a home that would have been a mistake, even if it would have been a big sale for them. I felt I was in such good hands and I could really trust them. After looking around, Anna and Dennis found us a home that was simply perfect, and the closing process was a breeze. Anna and Dennis made an exceptional team. Anna gave us a lot of her personal time and is such a caring person. Dennis is stellar at the numbers. They both are really sharp and have great intuition. Together, they make the perfect team. SELLING EXPERIENCE: In, 2019, Anna and Dennis got us an all-cash offer for well over our goal price and we closed within 15 days. need I say more? Selling can be an emotional process and Anna and Dennis made it as smooth as humanly possible. SUMMARY: I’ve heard horror stories about the buying and selling of real estate process and I have to say, I can’t relate. If you have the right agents, it can be an awesome experience. As long-term SF residents, Anna and Dennis know the city and the market very well. Their natural instincts were always spot-on. Their negotiating, communication and “reading people” skills were on point. We tended to agree on most things and were also able to have great and productive dialogue to discuss points of difference. You’d be missing out not to work with them!

- If you’re looking for an outstanding team of real estate agents to help you navigate the San Francisco market, look no further. Anna and Dennis are a dynamic duo, and their experience, savviness and network is evident from the get-go. These two will help you find the property that is right for you and fight hard to help you get it. They understand that buying and selling a home is both an emotional and financial decision. As such, they make sure to listen to your needs, while working hard to educate you on value and risk. If you’re looking for a team who will dedicate the time needed to find you the perfect home and make you feel secure in your decision, you’ve found them!
Raffi N.
- Anna and Dennis are great people. They worked with me to buy my condo here in SF after moving here from Seattle. They’re both great on follow through, knowledge of the market, negotiation skills and they’re well connected if you need a mortgage broker or people to help you in moving or anything else you might need when buying a home. I could not have been happier and would recommend them wholeheartedly.
Robert H.
- Arevik is outstanding at her job. We just sold my condo last week (and she was my agent when we bought it 12 years ago)! Arevik knew what we needed to do to show my home in the best possible way, and patiently took me through all the steps. She was available for every question I had, and if she didn’t know the answer, would find it immediately. What was especially helpful was being able to use her contacts to take care of the necessary repairs. She really does stick with you during the whole process. Arevik is smart and trustworthy, and is truly dedicated to her clients. We got a fantastic price for my condo. I highly recommend her for your buying and selling needs.
Julie
- Anna is trustworthy, friendly, professional and a go-getter real estate agent who is always looking out for YOUR best interest. We felt so comfortable working with Anna (my sister referred my husband and I to her and her partner, Dennis) as she is brutally honest about properties and how/whether they will hold their value. She is truly passionate and dedicated about her work and the outcome of her work shows. Everyone wins in the end! I highly recommend working with Anna and Dennis– you really can’t go wrong! She’s great with kids too.
Sach W.
- If there were six stars to give, I would. I recently bought my first building with Anna and Dennis, the experience could not have been better. I had very specific real estate goals in mind (investment property that I could fix up myself over time), and it took multiple years to find exactly what I was looking for. Anna and Dennis never flinched and were there by my side at every step of the way. Anna, a former teacher, explained the nuances of San Francisco real estate to me in a way that I could understand while Dennis helped me see the potential for development and growth in many buildings. Both of them helped me identify significant problems in a number of buildings, and steered me out of a few of properties when they identified issues. On one occasion, after I’d entered into contract, they identified significant problems with the building during our due diligence and helped me get out. I could not recommend them more highly, they taught me an enormous amount, always put my priorities first, were a pleasure to work with, and ultimately got me the exact property I was looking for.
Connor S.
- Anna and Dennis are the absolute best. They taught us tons about the San Francisco real estate market (it was like a mini business school education!) and ultimately helped us find our first home, which we love! They made us feel like we were their only clients, always getting back to us quickly, taking time to answer our questions (sometimes even before we knew what to ask!), helping us make the best decisions for our budget, and going above and beyond to help us with every step of the process. Despite never having bought a home before, we never felt like we were floundering or clueless because we had Anna and Dennis on our team. These two know what they’re doing, they’re fantastic humans, and I recommend them with my whole heart and soul.
Megan B.
- I have purchased homes in the past and now that I have met Anna and Dennis, I will never consider another real estate agent in the San Francisco area again. In real estate, the rule is “location, location, location”. However, I would add that without a good agent on your side, you will never get the location that truly fits you. Anna and Dennis work as a team and compliment each other really well. They both pay attention to your needs and bring you choices that fit and go a little beyond. On top of working very hard to find you the perfect house and always thinking what values they could bring to their clients, their strengths also include: 1). Able to think beyond what’s shown – their knowledge in each of the SF district, engineering background, and understanding of construction cost, they can help you envision the potential of a property. 2). Strategic positioning – to get your dreamhome, it’s not always about paying the highest price. There are a few places to negotiate and Anna knows exactly how to position your deal so that it is a win-win situation for both buyer and seller. 3). Wide network of great resources – they have a network of great resources who can help you move the deal along. These resources work with Anna and Dennis at a personal level so when something is urgent, they first give you all the attention. Best of luck in finding your home.
Dragonfly L.
- I cannot overstate how incredible Anna and her partner Dennis have been, in our (successful) quest for home ownership in SF. They have an amazing established network and reputation plus boundless skills, energy and knowledge. My husband and I have bought property elsewhere but this was our first foray into the complicated, overheated and often irrational property market in SF. Anna was our main guide throughout the house search and purchase and we truly couldn’t have done it without her. When we got caught up in the never-ending spiral of crazy bids and 100% cash offers – not ours! – she helped us find a solution that worked for us. Anna is a tireless ‘dealmaker’ who did not rest until we had a home. Dennis seems to know every detail of what’s going up and down in this town… “that Walgreen’s lease expires in 2015 and so it will be replaced by a new building …”. Anna and Dennis’s partnership is a force to be reckoned with and they taught us so much along the way. Anna was always available to meet, easy to reach and proactive. Anna went well beyond the call of duty by advising us on construction works, reviewing our house plans, recommending services that were outside of her scope etc. I would wholeheartedly recommend Anna and Dennis to anyone seeking a new home in San Francisco. We can’t thank them enough!
Marzena K.
- Arevik Makasdjian did an excellent job on researching the property values based on the recent sales in our neighborhood to come up with the best selling strategy for selling our apartment and it all worked in the best way. She also did an incredible job on negotiating the price and conditions with our buyer. We were truly impressed and greatful. Arevik Makasdjian did a wonderful job advertising the property weighing the community, to the agents in her office, recommending a great mortgage advisor we were extremely satisfied with and made the closing easy and breezy. With all that, Arevik also has a great attention to details, always being able to foresee the potential road bumps and preventing those with professionalism and class. Arevik Makasdjian was pleasure to work with throughout he whole selling-buying process. She always condated the process with professionalism, understanding and class.
Tatiana
- Working with Anna and Denis turned out to be a dream come true. Their expertise mixed with tenacity for what they do resulted in our family buying our dream house. Anna and Dennis both listened and found us the perfect house and they negotiated an amazing price. The house we ended up with was the very first house they showed us, they really zeroed in on our criteria. They helped us remodel and create the house we wanted but could not afford. Anna was able to see the potential and guide us towards a huge real estate success story. Having both of them working in tandem was brilliant, they bring different skills and they each know what part of the process to focus on, their teamwork is efficient and pleasurable to work with. This team has keen knowledge of the market and expert interpersonal skills among many other attributes that keep them at the very top of their profession. There is no need to use any other Realtor® if you are looking in San Francisco.
Chaney S.
- We were referred to Anna and Dennis by a friend, and we are so happy we worked with them. At our first meeting, they gave us a good idea of what we could afford and where we should start looking, and they quickly had a few properties for us to tour early. After looking at several with them, we actually ended up going with the first house they showed us. They had it right from the start! Plus, they were super responsive to all our questions and explained everything clearly. With their tremendous help, we were able to buy our first home in the location we wanted at an affordable price. They walked us through the entire process and are just such sweet people (but skilled agents too!). We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Bay Area. You’ll be getting the best!
Wes S.
- I first met Anna at an open house that she was hosting in the Mission Dolores neighborhood. I was immediately impressed by her warmth, charm and market savvy. Two years later, I hired Anna and her partner Dennis to help me and my husband purchase our dream home in Noe Valley. Anna is smart, sophisticated and down-to-earth, in my opinion and experience a remarkable and rare combination of qualities to find in a real estate agent. We bought our place (a TIC interest in a 2-unit building) from a wack real estate agent who was married to the seller (a problematic scenario by any measure). Anna found a TIC partner for us (seriously, she advertised and found him herself), and with Dennis’s support, she closed the deal under extremely stressful and challenging circumstances. I would recommend Anna, without reservation, to anyone looking to buy or sell residential (including investment/rental) real estate in San Francisco. She is awesome
Rob D.
- Number one: We bought something in 2013! We could not be happier because it is not an easy job to break into the SF market and that makes Anna your top choice. You will, with Anna’s savvy, get the job done. This was very important to my husband and I because after literally years of lollygagging about, pretending to be buying something with very convincing sorts of behaviors, like signing contracts, applying for loans … we never got anything. Finally, I called Anna, because I had met her 10+ years ago when she was just getting her RE legs and I was just getting interested in buying something. We crossed paths on the edge of the Big RE world then I lost contact as she shot off and basically, she shot to the top of her game. So of course by the time all these years passed working as if I was buying something, I was a bit intimated to call her for help thinking that with her impressive resume of sales she probably would not be interested in helping us with a modest first home purchase. That could not be farther from the truth. Anna took up the call to help us with gusto. She got to work and boy does she work hard from sun up to late at night. After 20+ years of being a SF renter we bought a place in less than 3 months, thanks to Anna, and her very warm and smart partner, Dennis. I will warn you, Anna is the real deal, a real person who is passionate about her work and passionately warm and funny! I hope to work with her again. I hope you enjoy her as much as we have.
Bronwen
- My husband, Don and I had an excellent experience working with Arevik. She was on top of things throughout the process, provided regular communications and created a high level of transparency at all times. She was very much an advocate for us and acted on our behalf at all times, making the experience very seamless for us. I would recommend Arevik and Zephyr to others without reservation and would not hesitate to go to them as the experts in the San Francisco market. Great results all around!
Aarthi
- Anna and Dennis are truly a dynamic duo. The “Yin and Yang” of real estate in SF, I say this because they are are so different and able to cover all aspects of your needs with their incredible skills and personalities. We were not the easiest clients as we searched long and hard for the perfect place but they never wavered and their patience is a testament to their professionalism. At the end of the day Anna and Dennis will get the job done and you be in good hands from beginning to end, I can’t recommend them enough.
Alexander G.
- If you are looking for a Realtor® in the Bay Area, look no further. Arevik Makasdjian is the best. I truly appreciated her attention to detail, quick replies, and knowledge of California’s real estate market. She knows which buttons to push at the correct times to ensure you have the best opportunity for getting the deal you are looking for. Arevik was a real pleasure to work with in terms of professionalism, knowledge, and responsiveness.
Sabina B.
- Miesha is trustworthy, knowledgeable and experienced. I wish her all the best!
Jeanine H.
- You are so super awesome! I will certainly recommend you when given the chance. And will definitely hit you up if we ever decide to sell.
James C.
- It’s official. The house is sold. Now we have two months to find a new one. Thank you to Miesha for all your help. We couldn’t have done it with out you!
Valerie H.
- Miesha is highly competent, experienced, and professional. I would definitely recommend her service to anyone needing help with buying or selling a house.
Thierry A.
- MIESHA IS AMAZING!! Buying a house can be arduous, but Miesha makes the whole experience more positive. She has been great about answering our MANY questions through the whole process and is VERY knowledgeable. She helped prepare us for every curve ball because she has been in the industry for so long and she does not hesitate to go the extra mile. She is truly fantastic at what she does and we would highly recommend her!
Tyler F.
- I have known Miesha for a long time. I am a General Contractor and she was working at the TIC group, about 10 years ago. She has been very knowledgeable in the areas she works on, property value, cost of construction, loan process, and following planned budgets for construction upgrades. Now that she is a Realtor®, she has the advantage to understand the potential and real value of a property, as well as the process to guide you and obtain the best option property for your needs and budget. Also, she will guide you to properly prepare your property to place it on the market in the best position. I highly recommend Miesha Morgret for any and all your needs when you want to sell or buy a property.
Ignacio C.
- Miesha successfully negotiated the purchase of our first house. We found out later that the seller chose us not because we were the highest price but because of the terms we offered and Miesha gave us the confidence to offer those terms. She spoke several times with our Mortgage Advisor and then explained to us every option we had while making our offer. She also described how the Seller might view each choice we made and how they would be compared to other offers since she knew we were in a multiple offer situation. I think it was because of her willingness to take the time to both thoroughly understand our financial position and explain to us each item of our offer, that got our offer accepted over many others. It was that attention to detail that helped us finally win after such a long journey and got us the home of our dreams. My family and I are forever grateful, thank you Miesha!
Rajeev M.
- The San Francisco real estate agents Anna Spathis and Dennis Stavropoulos of Sterling Homes are absolutely worthy of trust. I had a couple of moments of doubt, but Anna Spathis and Dennis Stavropoulos earned my complete faith. They both are experts in the real estate industry. I’ve seldom worked with a team in any endeavor who were so skilled at listening to a customer with very little understanding of the depths and nuances of a situation, and talked them through with me in a way I could process and make an informed decision about. Anna and Dennis are empathetic at all times, hard-nosed when called for, communicative, personable, knowledgeable, savvy, thoughtful, practical, funny, effective real estate agents and that’s what I came up with without needing to go to my thesaurus. If you are planning to sell/ buy your dream home in the San Francisco Bay Area I just can’t recommend them enough. I was lucky to have them as my team, and wish others that kind of good fortune.
David L.
- Absolutely “straight-shooters!” real estate agents. The San Francisco Realtors® Anna Spathis and Dennis Stavropoulos of Sterling Homes will not hesitate to have the adult conversations with the hard truths about the sale. Staging the unit, while costly, can be incredibly helpful, and doing so as long as necessary may be an answer. If you are planning to sell/buy a home in the San Francisco Bay Area, I would recommend Sterling Homes without hesitation, and it would be difficult convincing me why you would use anyone else.
D.A.
- Realtors® Dennis Stavropoulos and Anna Spathis are both experts in the real estate industry in San Francisco Bay Area. They complement each other perfectly with persuasion and knowledge that will help you stand out in a crowd of homebuyers. They encouraged us to be assertive with our offers when it was needed. Real estate agents Dennis Stavropoulos and Anna Spathis complement each other perfectly. Their expertise in real estate gave us an upper hand when visiting homes with issues that others simply do not look for. For example, Anna found a drainage issue with a home that looked excellent otherwise. As a result, we were confident that our final purchase will be flawless and enduring. Anna Spathis and Dennis Stavropoulos are a great team. They are straightforward, assertive and will give you an advantage that other Realtors® cannot
A & G
- This was my second home purchase with San Francisco real estate agents Anna Spathis and Dennis Stavropoulos of Sterling Homes. The first was in Noe Valley in 2008. Both times, Anna Spathis has proven herself to be smart, informed, capable, likable and trustworthy in her profession as a real estate agent in San Francisco. If you are planning to sell/buy a house in the San Francisco Bay area, I would recommend Realtors® Anna Spathis and Dennis Stavropoulos without reservation.
R. D.
- We trusted Arevik Makasdjian 100% and are so happy to have had her as our San Francisco real estate agent. Arevik is very knowledgeable and honest. If she didn’t know an answer, she did her best to ask the right people and get us an answer right away. She gave good advice without being pushy. We feel so fortunate to have had Arevik as our Realtor® when purchasing our first home in San Francisco. Arevik is dedicated, knowledgeable, and excellent at her job. As first-time home buyers in San Francisco, Arevik helped us navigate the home-buying process amidst a pandemic and a hugely competitive San Francisco real estate market. She was so patient with us throughout the entire home buying process. Her personable nature makes her very easy (and fun!) to work with. She also has very good relationships with others which is such an advantage in this market. Arevik seems to have found the perfect balance between giving good advice and not being pushy. We truly felt she wanted the best for us and did everything she could to ensure we got what we wanted. Eventually, we found and were able to purchase our dream home! This would not have been possible without Arevik. We trust her completely and would undoubtedly use her if we ever decide to buy or sell again. If you are planning to buy/sell, we wholeheartedly recommend real estate agent Arevik Makasdjian to anyone looking for a Realtor® in San Francisco.
A & T
- I have purchased several homes in the past with various real estate agents. I can honestly say that real estate agents Anna and Dennis of Sterling Homes are the best agents that I had the pleasure of working with. I never received so much information, updates and personal support. Anna and Dennis did not simply try to sell me a house, but were constantly looking for a great deal for me. Every walkthrough, they showed me good and bad and provided actual suggestions. After I purchased the house, they continue to check in as I go through my remodel and provide advice. You cannot possibly ask anything more from your agents and I recommend Realtors® Anna and Dennis to anyone looking to buy/sell/renovate your home in San Francisco.
Paul K.
- As the lender involved on the transaction, I appreciated her communication and timeliness, especially on a quick close. Great communication and strategy to win the deal.
Dan A.
- I wish to thank you Arevik for doing such an excellent job regarding the sale of my real estate property at 239 Seneca Avenue. Your professionalism, your dedication in helping me understand the current real estate market, and your work ethic were above my expectation. Also, it was all the little things that you took charge of that made it easier for me to prepare my San Francisco home for sale and marketing.
Richard S.
- As a first time home buyer in the Bay Area, I was thrilled when Arevik Makasdjian helped me make my dream of homeownership come true. It was wonderful to have Arevik’s help and market knowledge to guide me. Arevik is the kind of Realtor® you hope to find: extremely knowledgeable about the market, and very detail-oriented. Amidst COVID 19 challenges, she was there every step of the way, asking questions I never have thought. She tried to point out the good and bad as we looked at numerous homes. This made me feel confident about trusting her judgment because she seemed so knowledgeable about the home-buying process. I have excellent experience working with Arevik Makasdjian. She was friendly, never minded answering my questions, made me feel like I’m the only client, and has all the time in the world for you, when in fact she is busy! She let me know about off-market homes and made sure to show me when it was the right fit. I’ve just met the most wonderful Realtor® in San Francisco, Arevik Makasdjian! I highly recommend her to all my family and friends.
K. T.
- Miesha was great through this very foreign process. We really enjoyed working with her and would recommend her to friends and family!
Chris R.
- I’m a first time home buyer, buying my first ever property in the crazy San Francisco real estate market. I’m so glad a colleague recommended Anna and Dennis! Throughout the process, I felt very supported, through hundreds of pages of disclosures and aggressive counterbids. Anna held my hand through the home buying process, starting with condos and ending with a multi-unit purchase. Dennis’s construction expertise was invaluable, and even after the purchase closed, he helped me find folks to do some pre-move work. I highly recommend working with both of them!
Elizabeth K.
- Anna and Dennis were the perfect team to shepherd us through the absolute insanity of looking for a home through the last year. Between the tumultuous market and all of the uncertainty of the pandemic, they were excellent at keeping us focused on what OUR goals were for the perfect home. They made sure we didn’t get distracted by flashy but problematic properties, that we weren’t discouraged by the bidding process, and that we were the first to hear about potential opportunities that might fit our needs. Their patience and encouragement were absolutely essential. After all of that, I thought the hard part was done when we moved into our gorgeous new home. It turns out that we needed even more support while selling! Based on our experience buying, we trusted them completely and were thrilled with the value in/value out we received. They shepherded us through negotiating offers, a bump or two in contract, and we crossed the finish line exactly as promised. I would strongly recommend them without any hesitation to anyone in the Bay Area real estate market!
Amit S.
- Arevik helped us to buy our current house in San Francisco – which we absolutely love. To give the context – moving from out of state we were both remote and under enormous time pressure to make the purchase within 1-2 months. I could only visit the Bay Area several times during that period and had to heavily rely on Arevik to find the potential fit and to compete with other buyers in a fairly aggressive seller market. We finally succeeded thanks to Arevik’s professionalism, persistence, and personal sacrifice. She did a great job finding the best deals slightly before it hit the general market, and giving us time for a sneak preview. She also helped us to put in the right bid to win the house. We will definitely use her services in the future as well.
Vahe A.
- Back when my wife and I decided to purchase our first home together, Arevik helped us navigate the daunting real estate market and we ended up with a wonderful condo in San Francisco. Years later, when it came time to sell that condo, the first person we turned to was Arevik. She is professional, savvy and got us a price that exceeded even our highest expectations. She went above and beyond in preparing for the sale, even bringing plants from her own garden to enhance the deck. We would recommend Arevik to anyone looking for a skilled, trustworthy Realtor®!
Chris & Emily
- Anna and Dennis were the perfect agents to work as first-time home buyers in this crazy market. We learned so much about the San Francisco housing market from them. They were very detailed and quick when it came to writing up offers that ensured that we showed up as strong buyers. We felt taken care of throughout the whole buying process. With their deep understanding of the San Francisco housing market and their dedication, we managed to secure a house in a neighborhood we never dreamed of getting a house in. Anna and Dennis are truly a joy to work with and I’ll be recommending them to anyone I know looking to buy!
Sonya
- I can’t vouch for Dennis and Anna enough! As first time home buyers in the Bay Area, my husband and I really had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. Anna took the time to walk us step by step through the entire home buying process and didn’t bat an eye when we changed our home search location from San Francisco to San Anselmo, three months in. They were patient, super responsive, and have an amazing understanding of the market. Their years and years of industry experience and knowledge proved extremely insightful. And because they also buy and renovate their own properties they also have insight into how to best add additional value to an existing property. Outside of all this, Anna and Dennis were a joy to work with. Their determined, realistic, and good-humored demeanor was appreciated! They helped us find the home of our dreams and I am forever grateful.
S.M.M.
- Anna and Dennis were a dream to work with! They really know their stuff. With the competitive market we’re in today, having experts like these two is critical to any home purchase decision. Their knowledge of pricing strategy, home value, and the “tricks of the trade” that other agents often leverage gave us an edge that allowed us to win our first offer! Plus they’re a joy to work with always available for a quick phone call, and willing to answer any question you have — no matter how silly. 10/10 would work them again!
A.M.
- We worked with Miesha to purchase our first home and would highly recommend her. She stuck by us for (literally!) years as we went through the process of determining what we were capable of affording, got a grasp on the San Francisco market, and finally started looking in earnest. She patiently and thoroughly walked us through every step of the purchasing process. We appreciated her strategic approach to securing a home, employing data and her strong relationships with other Realtors® along the way. She’s responsive, professional, and comfortable to work with. We will be in touch when we are ready for our next home and have already recommended her to friends.
Buyer
- My husband and I just moved to the San Francisco Bay Area about 10 months ago, and we realized that we wanted to live and buy our first home in Marin County. We started looking on Zillow and inquired about a home. We were lucky enough to have been connected with Dennis Stavropoulos and Anna Spathis of Sterling Homes – San Francisco Bay Area real estate agents. They invited us to meet them on Zoom and talk about what it would take to buy in the current market and helped us to understand what to expect in the current market, which was especially daunting for first-time home buyers. They told us they would commit to working with us if we agreed to commit to working with them. After our first tour of homes together, we agreed to work with them and are so grateful that we did! They taught us so much even before we went out to view properties. They hooked us up with a great loan officer, and once we found the perfect home, they helped us write the winning offer in a multiple-offer situation. They helped us get the home of our dreams in San Rafael on our first try and we could not be more thrilled! We trusted their advice and valued their experience in San Francisco Bay Area development and construction. We now have a home for our family of five (two people, two dogs, and a cat). We are grateful to have had these great San Francisco Bay Area real estate agents guide us from beginning to end. Anna and Dennis even bought us a year’s worth of home warranty and free unlimited 30-minute legal consultations for different real estate concerns. We know they will be there when we need them. They are only a phone call away! Thank you again, Anna and Dennis!

Elise B.
- For more than 10 years now, Dennis Stavropoulos and Anna Spathis have helped us buy and sell four San Francisco Bay Area homes. They just helped us sell our Oakland Hills home and we are so grateful that they did. Even before the market started to shift, Anna and Dennis would keep us posted on the week’s activities – what buyers were saying about our home and what challenges we were facing. When the market seemed to shift, they kept us posted and let us know what they were doing to bring fresh attention to the property. Their strategy worked and the weekend after that conversation, the property received a great offer from wonderful buyers and everyone is very pleased. We have trusted them for 10+ years and we would trust them for another 10+ years. They are straight shooters, great communicators and ready to negotiate on your behalf while working with you to get the best possible price. Whether you are buying or selling, I highly recommend them and believe you will feel like you have a great team working on your behalf.

- It was a pleasure to work with Arevik. She is an excellent agent who is patient, and knowledgeable. She is hard working, professional, and very efficient. She is generous with her time and advice. She is very well informed and up to date about market values and was extremely helpful in setting a fair market price for our property. Her guidance was very much appreciated. I highly recommend Arevik for any real estate transaction.

- We met Dennis Stavropoulos and Anna Spathis over 10 years ago. They have since helped us buy and sell four different times San Francisco Bay Area homes. They first helped us buy and sell a home in San Francisco and now the same in Danville. Our timing for the sale of our home in Danville was delayed and we felt the shift in the market. Anna and Dennis understood how to help us navigate through the times. We always knew what the activity was for our showings and what the buyers were says and why. Once we were in contract, they made sure we were on top of what we needed to do making the process as stress free as possible. We always felt we were in good hands. We always appreciated how they would deliver the hard truth even if we didn’t want to hear it. They helped us find a great buyer and managed the escrow smoothly. Our only regret is that they can’t help us now that we have moved out of California. We trust them to take care of us and guide us through our real estate investments. We would certainly recommend them and can honestly say you are in good hands when you let Anna Spathis and Dennis Stavropoulos guide you through the process of buying and/or selling real estate in the San Francisco Bay Area or anywhere in California.

- We were referred to Sterling Homes Realty from some good friends. From the moment we spoke, my partner and I knew that we were in good hands with Anna and Dennis. They prepped us on what to expect in the home buying process and provided us with the tools we needed to make informed decisions. Our search began in Lafayette, Orinda, Moraga and Walnut Creek but as we began narrowing down our wants and needs we ended our search in Alamo where we found our dream home. I am so grateful we went through our home buying process with Anna and Dennis. They really listened and encouraged us as we navigated the Bay Area housing market and sure enough, just as they said time and time again, each house that didn’t quite fit would just bring us closer to “the one”. If you’re looking for professional, experienced, trustworthy people to assist you in finding your dream home, Anna and Dennis are the realtors for you. I cannot thank them enough for all they’ve done for us.

- We recently had the pleasure of working with Anna Spathis and Dennis Stavropoulos as our real estate agents during our condo purchase in Fremont, California.

They never pressured us into making hasty decisions or settling for less than what we were looking for. Instead, they guided us patiently through the process, assuring us that our satisfaction was their top priority.

Their expertise was evident in their effective communication, timely updates, and thorough explanations of every aspect of the buying process. They were always available to answer our questions and provide guidance, making us feel supported and confident throughout the entire journey. Despite not physically seeing the condo before purchasing it, we felt completely comfortable making such a significant decision. Anna went above and beyond to provide us with detailed information, giving us a comprehensive understanding of the property. Her transparency and honesty were truly remarkable and helped us trust in her judgment. Overall, we wholeheartedly recommend Anna Spathis and Dennis Stavropoulos to anyone seeking exceptional real estate services in the San Francisco Bay Area.

- What you look for in a real estate agent is clear and timely communication, a good working relationship, negotiation skills, knowledge and trust. In the past several years, Anna and Dennis have walked me through 5 real estate transactions - both buying and selling property. As a buyer and seller, I’ve experienced different stress and anxiety levels which often takes me through an emotional roller coaster. I especially appreciate Anna’s calm, sensible and practical approach to guiding me through indecisive moments, doubt and even fear. I thank both Anna and Dennis for all the successful transactions I’ve had in this often unpredictable market.
