Shanti Minkstein

★★★★★ "We had an excellent experience working with Shanti as our realtor. She guided us seamlessly through the home-buying process, demonstrating expertise and dedication. Shanti's attention to detail and commitment to finding our perfect home made the entire experience stress-free. We're grateful for her professionalism and highly recommend Shanti for anyone in search of their dream home." - Elnaz J.

★★★★★ "We couldn't have had a better experience with Shanti and her team. As first time homebuyers we really wanted someone who understood the buying process and knew how to help us navigate the local market. We could not be more grateful for her help and guidance. Shanti went above and beyond throughout the entire process; from our initial meeting and even beyond the closing date. She truly took the time to understand our wants and needs and found us the perfect fit. We highly recommend Shanti and her team!" - Claire T.

★★★★★ " My wife and I are very fortunate to have chosen Shanti as our agent in our quest for a new home on the coast of California. Our new location was limited and very few options were available. Shanti guided us thru a very quick purchasing process and we were able to secure the property. Shanti's knowledge of the area and real estate expertise made our dreams come true. This agent rocks and knows her stuff! " - Junichi Steven F.

★★★★★ " Shanti did an amazing job helping us buy a home in HMB. She is so knowledgable about the area that it took her very little time to identify the right home for us. She was always on the ball, always listening, never pushy. She inspires a lot confidence and trust, and her advice during the negotiations was very precious. I have been buying several homes in the area and she is really top notch. I highly recommend Shanti if you are looking for a home in the Half Moon Bay area. " - Nico P.

★★★★★ "When you first meet Shanti, you'll recognize immediately that she is personable and openly committed to wanting to understand your needs and desires in a new home purchase. As you work with her, you'll learn that she has in-depth knowledge of the Half Moon Bay coastal area. Being a local and well-integrated into the real estate community, she uses this knowledge to your advantage. She provided insight into properties soon to be coming to the market, best price offer recommendations, and was able to quickly negotiate with other realtors to get to see properties on our schedule. Shanti seems to know everyone in the area. This is hugely valuable to get acclimated into the community and helpful when needing recommendations for various services. Communication was always easy and concise with Shanti. By phone, email, texting, and in-person. She always accommodated our schedule. Shanti spent quite a bit of time showing us around to make sure we became familiar with the area. She is a really cool and pleasant person to hang out with. The staff at the realty company was also supportive and helpful during the purchase process. Shanti is now my go-to person for buying or selling real estate in the Half Moon Bay coastal area. She should be yours too. " - Kevin H.

★★★★★ " Shanti impressed from the start. She returned my initial text and email within one minute and over time continued to be consistently responsive and available to me as I navigated both the seller's and buyer's side of local real estate. Shanti goes above and beyond, and does many things that other agents just don't do. For example, helping me sell and/or dispose of unwanted items, sharing personal connections to service providers, and gracefully and patiently responding to obsessive and peculiar questions. Further, she is extraordinarily positive in her outlook, kind and compassionate. Bottom line: Shanti Minkstein is terrific!

★★★★★ "We were cruising Open Houses in Half Moon Bay using Zillow and just missed a prime candidate as the open house had closed. The Zillow call support contacted Shanti and she was there in minutes! She gave us the tour while concurrently and gracefully conducting a comprehensive needs based analysis for my husband and I. We continued to run the Open House circuit for coastal homes from Capitola to Pacifica only to come up empty. As a local Shanti was able to get us into houses pre-listing and some choice ones at that. Our little bungalow by the beach hit the spot and we were hooked. Her personality, local expertise, process and team were top notch. We are looking forward to our new home and joining the El Granada community. " - Josephine R.

★★★★★ "Shanti was our buyer's agent for purchasing our new home. She was extremely responsive (she actually met us on the first day to do a walkthrough of the house, pre-open-house, with less than an hour's notice!) and very helpful. Our process had some significant timeline snags and difficulties, including a lender who threw last-minute requirements into the closing process, and Shanti navigated them all with a great, positive outlook and communicated well with us. Even after the sale was closed and there was no more "money on the table", Shanti continued being available to us for a few months to help us transition through a rent-back period, communicate with the sellers-turned-renters, and navigate finding contractors to do some fix-up work in the new city we don't know our way around very well. I highly recommend Shanti for buyers (and probably sellers too, I just haven't had her sell anything yet).." - A.M.
