Testimonials
"My husband and I had a stellar experience working with Sheldon Rilliet to buy a condo in Lower Pacific Heights, San Francisco. Sheldon is knowledgeable, very familiar with the different neighborhoods in the City, honest, organized, and fun to be around. He and his colleague, Serena, were an absolute pleasure to work with. From recommending movers to insurance brokers, Sheldon was instrumental in keeping things running smoothly with a quick closing escrow."
-Dani Johnston | SF BUYER
"Sheldon brought great expertise and professionalism to our home sale process. After a careful review of all aspects of our property, he shared an insightful vision for the project. He then managed this seamlessly and gave updates as appropriate. He was available and transparent, and adapted well to shifting market conditions to optimize our sale. I would work with Sheldon again and can highly recommend his services!"
- DR. RICH RANA | SAN MATEO
"Sheldon is truly an expert in Bay Area real estate. He guided us through the entire home purchasing process and helped us navigate the ever changing real estate landscape. On top of all Sheldon’s knowledge and expertise, he was also easy to talk to and made an often stressful process enjoyable!"
NATASHA BOURBONNAIS | SAN MATEO
"We have worked with Sheldon to buy our starter home, and then sell that home and buy a larger one as our family expanded, and finally sell that one when we had to move across the country. We could not have had a better experience. I have recommended him to everyone I know who is buying or selling a house. On the buying side: he is super responsive and enthusiastic, and provides feedback and guidance without being pushy and without imposing his own preferences as we figured out what we wanted and what we were comfortable offering. He put up with our challenging schedule and ferried us around to house after house until we found the right one, and then helped us put together competitive offers that were accepted.
On the selling side: he took care of everything, and did it well. We sold our second home from across the country so weren't able to be around, but felt totally comfortable leaving Sheldon in charge of getting the house ready, drumming up interest, showing the house, and coordinating offers. He put a lot of thought and analysis into setting a listing price, and for both houses we were incredibly happy with the outcome.
In working with a Realtor®, you end up spending a lot of time with that person, and Sheldon became a friend very quickly. He is a lot of fun to be around and made all parts of this process - which can be intense and stressful in the Bay Area - much more bearable and even enjoyable. Would very enthusiastically recommend working with Sheldon!!"

-REBECCA KLINE | SAN MATEO
"Sheldon made recommendations to prepare the property for the market, and was absolutely correct in his proposals. The property was priced well, and we received 23 offers. This is our second property sale with Sheldon over the last 18 months and he has been correct in his advise, marketing, and market assessment both times. I can’t recommend him highly enough."
-LARRY EDWARDS | BELMONT
"Shel is an empathetic, earnest and results-driven real estate agent. Shel creates an outstanding image for his clients and is a model of customer service professionalism.
Shel always takes the time necessary to learn the details of market dynamics and buyer/seller relationships to ensure his clients are informed and well positioned for success. We greatly benefitted from his wise counsel and his creative ability to solve disagreements and engage others involved to get the quickest and best solution.
We would highly recommend Shel to all our friends and family and consider him a lifelong friend."
-SANFORD WU | HILLSBOROUGH
"Sheldon stayed on top off things to coordinate a seamless interaction between painters, flooring, and staging crews to get my property ready to sell. The transformation was remarkable and led to receiving multiple offers. Despite many complicating factors, with Sheldon’s help, we closed a great deal and everything sailed smoothly. Sheldon is a solid straightforward agent with the experience to get it done!"
-MARK DENNIS | WOODSIDE
“Working with him (Sheldon) was a welcome change... "My husband and I had worked with many agents before finding Shel. Working with him was a welcome change. He supplied us with all the information we needed to make the right decision for us. Shel is easy to work with, extremely witty, but most importantly empowers his clients with knowledge to make a decision using both their heads and their hearts. Now we are in our dream house, but we will use Shel for all our future real estate needs, and have also referred him to a few of our friends." -Tami ”
“A Great Listing and Buyers Agent! "Sheldon is simply the BEST! He is very knowledgeable, hardworking and honest! I would highly recommend him for your real estate needs!" - Natalie”
“Sheldon is no stress, hard working, very detail orientated, and has a lot of knowledge about the areas you are looking. I was actually sad when we bought in the south bay because I wanted to work with Sheldon all the way to the end. If you haven't worked with Realtors® yet, they aren't always as client focused and professional as we are in the legal profession. Sheldon is the opposite and is so dependable. He made my life easier during the house hunting process.”
