Bay Real Estate Group - Your First and Forever Home

Our buying agent was Margot L. who works with Gail–who’s like the queen bee of Cambridge real estate, and the seller’s agent was Robin. All were fantastic, courteous, professional, and connected to everything going on. Never did we feel pressured, pushed, misguided, tricked, or deceived. They even gently but assertively steered me away from a…

I met Shirley for the first time while she was having an open house showing and I was immediately impressed. She knew everything about not just the unit, the building, but also the entire area and market. She was the most knowledgeable agent I had met when it was already 6 or 7 months into…

The beau and I have met many real estate agents, the majority of which don’t even bat an eye / get out of their chairs as they happily look over the bowl of agents cards they’ve already received during their open house. This is what sets Shirley apart. We met her when she was showing…

During the search, she found a lot of good options that were within my price range. She was never too pushy, and focused on helping me understand the market and find the best fit. After I made a selection, she was very helpful in the negotiations with the owners, helping me save a significant amount….

I have worked with many real estate agents throughout the years and can confidently say that Shirley has been the best, by far! She will present you with the best and most recent real estate options available in the market, and will work with you throughout the whole process of acquiring or renting a piece…

As a first-time homebuyer in a new and unfamiliar market, I had a lot of questions and concerns in regards to purchasing in the SF area. Shirley proved to be a great help from the beginning as she was very knowledgeable about the area, having worked here for many years, and by answering my endless…

I could not speak more highly of Michael Baldasarra. He is one of the most responsive agents with whom we have had the pleasure of working. He is thoughtful, resourceful, kind, and a true professional. He cares, and it shows. Michael was our rental agent many, many years ago. We stayed in touch all this…

Evan is a saint! Anyone who is willing to deal with us a newbies is deserving of a medal and perhaps a bottle of wine! The good news is newbies we are no longer. Evan was so helpful, answering calls and emails at all hours, he worked diligently to keep the transaction moving, even when…

Let’s be honest, SF is a sellers market. The beau and I have met many a real estate agent, the majority of which don’t even bat an eye / get out of their chair as they happily look over the bowl of agents cards they’ve already received during their open house.This is what sets Shirley…

We met Michelle when we were having some … trouble, let’s say, selling a very unique home. She took over for two other Realtors, and it was one of the best decisions we ever made. Some of this, of course, is luck, but we had three offers roll in pretty quickly. What isn’t luck is…

We wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed working with Margot. She was absolutely outstanding. We have already owned two condos, and therefore have worked with other buyer brokers in the past. Never again! Margot made us feel so comfortable, and was extremely professional. It is clear how much she loves her job, and…

I recently had the pleasure of working with Michelle Balog and William Crum at Bay Real Estate Group.  They guided us (multiple co-owners from multiple states) through the selling of our family home in the midst of COVID restrictions.  Michelle was extremely knowledgeable about the housing market and offered many useful suggestions to prepare the…

Michelle Balog rocks! She represented me in my first home buying experience last year, and she made the entire experience go smoothly and without a hitch. From the very start of the search process through to closing, she was professional and on it.

Margot Lubin was a huge asset in our search for the perfect new home. She worked tirelessly with us for almost 2 years to make sure we got exactly what we were looking for and helped us prioritize our wish list and our budget. Her knowledge of the local real estate market and her relationships…

I worked with Margot for 6 months, selling one home and buying another with her. She is an amazing realtor! Margot carefully explains and handles all aspects of real estate–she transforms the whole experience into a logical, manageable, and enjoyable experience. When selling my home, Margot helped advertise, promote, and stage my house for optimal…

As first-timers, my girlfriend and I were overwhelmed at the prospect of buying in SF, but Evan helped us through each step of the process to land us our dream home! On just our first bid together, Evan coached us through making our offer as strong as possible. It’s hard to stand out in the…

Michelle is the best around. This woman works 200% for her clients. We listed our house with Michelle and had multiple offers within 3 days of going on the market! Michelle has 1 focus: doing the best job for her clients. The best!

A new home search can be an exhausting and emotional journey. We always felt taken care of with Evan. He made the process of finding our new home an enjoyable one while offering expert advice along the way. I would recommend Evan to anyone looking for a home in the Bay Area. He provides a…

Margot went above and beyond the call of duty on numerous occasions. Unlike many brokers with whom we had spoken previously, Margot did not push us outside our comfort zone with respect to submarket or price. Her honesty was also much appreciated; she never sugarcoated things and she was the first to point out potential…

Margot was a dream to work with! She was always available and eager to answer any questions we had. She helped us buy and sell our homes and coordinated everything so that we could concentrate on our big move. We really felt that she had our best interest at heart throughout the entire buying process….

With one degree of seperation most of us know at least 2 or 3 realtors…How do you choose who to work with so many options: your co-wokers spouse, the nice parent that also has a kid in the same class, your neighbor…Time and time again I have decided to use Michelle becuase of her experience…

She is a dedicated realtor that goes above and beyond for her clients. I would highly recommend Michelle to anyone who wants to purchase or sell a property in San Francisco.
