Aloha! My name is Lauren Imada, and I am a born and raised Hawaii girl who considers San Francisco to be my second home. I specialize in helping first-time homebuyers navigate the exciting yet complex process of purchasing their first home in this vibrant city. With over 3 years of experience in the industry, I’ve developed a deep understanding of what it takes to make the dream of homeownership a reality, particularly for those new to the process. From educating clients on the ins and outs of the homebuying journey to explaining disclosure packages and purchase agreements, I make sure my clients feel confident and informed every step of the way. I take pride in offering personalized, hands-on service, whether I'm guiding buyers through their home search or helping sellers prepare their properties for the market. For sellers, I provide recommendations for repairs and touch-ups before staging, and I market listings through both digital platforms and print advertising. I also leverage my background in graphic design and marketing to create compelling, visually appealing marketing materials that capture the essence of each listing. I host open houses and provide feedback and attendance reports to keep sellers informed and empowered in their decision-making. My expertise lies mainly in San Francisco condos. Over the past couple of years, I’ve honed my knowledge of the South Beach and Rincon Hill neighborhood, which boasts newer developments with top-notch amenities and easy access to the Bay Bridge, public transit, and waterfront views. Whether you're drawn to the convenience of this part of the city or exploring other areas, I’m here to help you find a home that aligns with your needs and goals. I’m here to offer guidance, support, and local expertise to make your real estate journey smooth and successful. Let’s work together to achieve your real estate goals!
