Meet Ron

Success Stories/Testimonials
Helping people realize and achieve their dreams about buying a home or selling their home is my passion. Read what some of my clients have to say about their experiences have been.

"As first-time buyers in the bay area, we were prepared for the same discouraging experiences we had heard so much about from others. Fortunately, we discovered Ron.

Taking the time to get to know us and helping us define our goals, Ron guided us through every step in the process as if we were his only clients. His personal dedication and depth of knowledge and experience were absolutely invaluable – traits rarely found in any profession today.

Ron took all of the pain and confusion out of our first home buying experience and we ended up with much more than we had ever hoped for. In such a competitive and often complicated endeavor, everyone should be so lucky as to find a gem like Ron Whitney!"

Thanks, Ron. We love our new home!

"I was lucky enough to meet Ron as part of a herculean effort to form a TIC partnership. Although we were outbid on that particular Noe Valley Victorian, the silver lining for me was finding Ron Whitney. Ron smoothed every step of the process with unerring intuition, optimism and humor. He immediately grasped my situation and meshed his approach to incorporate my needs and work style.

Having previously bought and sold three properties outside San Francisco, I know how daunting the Bay Area real estate market can be. Working with Ron gave me access to a new realm of resources and options, and the critical advantage of collaborating with a strong negotiator who understands what I want and knows how to get there.

I strongly recommend Ron to anyone interested in buying or selling real estate in San Francisco. Whether you're a hard-core real estate junkie like me - or just testing the waters - Ron can help focus your goals and navigate the sometimes tumultuous local real estate market. Don't give up! Your dream home is out there waiting for you."

"Selling my home was a major decision and I was seeking someone who would guide me through the steps. After meeting Ron at the Zephyr booth at the Bernal Heights Fiesta on the Hill, I knew this was someone I could work with. During the 7 months from our first meeting to the final sale of my home, Ron consistently showed professionalism and expertise in the San Francisco real estate market. Ron's friendly nature helped make the process less stressful and more human. I would highly recommend Ron Whitney for anyone seeking a real estate professional."

-Nancy Wickman

"This was my first time buying a house, and I knew very little about the process. Ron worked patiently with me from the very beginning, helping me formulate what I really wanted and coaching me through many moments of indecision, until I found the perfect place. Not only does Ron have a wealth of local real estate knowledge, but he's also a joy to work with. I couldn't have asked for a better real-estate agent!!"

-Christian Galindo

"As first time buyers we were looking for a real estate agent with a good feel for the market and the numbers, and who we could trust and respect--Ron Whitney is all of that and more. He is very friendly, patient and personable, and he has a ton of contacts in the industry. More importantly, he's become a great personal friend after our purchase!"

-Kim Duncan and Joe Castorena

"I would recommend Ron Whitney in a heartbeat to anyone who wants to buy a home in San Francisco. Just by chance, he was the first person I met when I walked into the office one December afternoon. What luck!!! I was a first time home buyer and was quite uncertain as to how to find my way through the San Francisco real estate market. Ron demystified the entire process for me. In what I think may have been the most efficient process, in one weekend I was able to bid and win on a Pacific Heights Condo that I had been eyeing for years. Ron was with me every step of the way from the bidding, to inspections, to closing-- always ensuring that I understood the terms and was comfortable with the deal. He is truly in service to the customer and is someone who you can trust to help you find the home of your dreams!"

"Ron is an exceptional realtor. His commitment goes far beyond just selling a home. You can count on Ron for bruscetta recipe (once a professional chef), plumber recommendations and updates concerning your neighborhood, even years after you've made your purchase."
