★★★★★
"I strongly recommend Jamie to anyone looking for a real estate agent. Jamie sold our condo on a very tight timeline to great results. She is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. Best of all, Jamie is a calm presence during a very stressful process. I especially like that she is also an attorney and genuinely understands fiduciary responsibilities and how to negotiate." Andrew S.

★★★★★
"I can't say enough great things about Jamie! She is organized. Thoughtful. Patient. Timely. And so much more, which is exactly what we needed during the process of selling a condo and buying a house, during a pandemic. Highly recommended.." Jeni Y.

★★★★★
"My husband and I loved working with Jamie! We have worked with Jamie twice and it's been a wonderful experience both times. She helped us buy a new home in San Francisco. We were so happy with the experience that we worked with her again to sell my mother-in-law's condo. She is extremely organized, professional, knowledgeable of the market, and has a great network of people to work with. Overall, a true professional. Can't recommend her enough!" Kathryn L.

★★★★★
"If you're thinking of buying a place in SF, working with Jamie Lawrence is the best decision you could make. Jamie was recommended to me by a friend who'd had an amazing experience working with her, and Jamie surpassed all of my highest expectations. It's rare that you find an agent who is incredibly business savvy AND trustworthy AND likable at the same time " Young J.

★★★★★
"I cannot recommend Jamie highly enough! If you're looking for an agent, stop now, because Jamie is the one. We had been on the hunt for a house for more than a year, but literally weeks after our first meeting with Jamie, we closed on our dream home in Oakland. Jamie is brilliant: she listened, asked the right questions, and understood what we were looking for immediately. (In fact, I think she know what we wanted/needed better than we ourselves did.) We were first-time buyers, so naturally a bit anxious about the process. But Jamie explained everything clearly and expertly--we went from zero knowledge to really understanding everything about home-buying after an hour chatting with her." Emily T.

★★★★★
"We loved working with Jamie! She's calm, collected, and smart. She works extremely hard, responds to emails at all hours of the day. She is very straightforward and patient. She has a great sense of what houses will go for in this crazy market. She helped us find a house that we absolutely love living in! I highly recommend her!" Chelsea Y.

★★★★★
"We had a fantastic experience working with Jamie. She has excellent communication skills, technical knowledge, and understanding of Bay Area real estate. With her help we always felt we could make informed decisions. Her professionalism and responsiveness were top notch, and with Jamie's personal touches of humor and generosity we couldn't imagine being as happy working with anyone else."Alex E.

★★★★★
"Jamie makes everything as simple and stress-free as possible. What I particularly appreciate about her is her frankness. She's not trying to upsell you or shoehorn you into something that isn't quite the right fit. Instead, she is straightforward and honest, and will let you know whether she thinks you are making a smart decision. She gives you room to breathe, but will not hesitate to provide you with sound advice when requested and needed."Michael F.

★★★★★
"Jamie really is as good as it gets. Buying a house in SF is a stressful and disheartening business and takes a lot of time, but Jamie was always available to chat, able to turn around documents quickly and guide us in a no-nonsense way that was so valuable to us as first time homebuyers. " Ara S.

★★★★★
"My wife and I would have been completely lost without Jamie. She made the home-buying process in an otherwise chaotic San Francisco housing market smooth and streamlined. Highly recommended!" Jason K.

★★★★★
"This is someone I would highly recommend to anyone seeking to find a place. She is wonderful, works magic within her skills from communication to being the most active listener. Her assessment skills are perfect. She is one of a kind. I will always feel the greatest sense of gratitude within her feedback to me and her ways in appeasing me during a time where this is not always easy! You cannot go wrong with Jamie - she will find you your perfect heaven on earth!" Valerie G.

★★★★★
"It sounds strange because buying or selling a house can be such a stressful experience, but with Jamie as your agent, you can relax. Jamie capably and efficiently takes care of all the details so you don't have to worry about them yet she keeps you up to date and as involved as you want to be." Erin N..

★★★★★
"Working with Jamie is as good as it gets. As first-time homebuyers in this crazy Bay Area market, our learning curve was so steep. She walked us through everything, and spent time at the beginning of our search (when we didn't even have a loan approved) to get to know us, what we wanted, what we could compromise on or not. She sees the potential of properties, and educates her clients throughout the process." Sarah W.


About Jamie
I joke that while I am a lawyer, I try not to act like one. Cheap shots aside, my legal background means that I take my fiduciary duty very seriously.  Your trust is what I value most, and I deliver exceptional results with integrity.
 
After graduating from Harvard with honors, I worked in New York City, then moved west to attend Stanford Law School. The eclecticism of the Bay Area drew me in. I love places that combine the historical with the experimental, where deep-rooted communities and newcomers interact and evolve together. My appreciation of the quirky comes partly from growing up in New Orleans.

I got into real estate after practicing corporate law in Silicon Valley, and I’ve seen our market’s highs and lows. No matter the conditions, I am successful by putting clients first and always remaining curious. I’m curious about the market, industry best practices, and most of all, my clients’ needs.  

I am privileged to work with amazing technologists, business leaders, public servants, lawyers, scholars, artists, scientists, teachers, and writers.  They are busy, smart people who want expert guidance and precise execution from an agent they can trust.  

I bring a unique combination of candor, humor, strategy, and heart to this process because real estate is as much about hopes and dreams as it is about price per square foot. I’m proud that more than 90% of my business comes from repeat clients and personal referrals.

When I’m not working, I enjoy reading fiction, traveling, and spending time with my wife, Samantha, and our pound puppy, Peanut.
