I have known Emily for 25 years. She is as kind and genuine as they come.  When selecting a Realtor, you should select a Realtor based on the time and effort that they dedicate to the purchase or sale of your property.  She did this time and time again by working with me to purchase and sell multiple properties. I have referred several of my friends and family to her and she successfully helped them buy and sell properties as well. You would be hard-pressed to find a more dedicated Realtor. Looking for a great Realtor can be very challenging.  How comfortable do you feel with making the biggest financial investment of your life?  Emily’s background as a real estate attorney gives her the experience to go over purchase and sale contracts with a fine-tooth comb and to catch details, which truly adds value to her service to clients.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Emily Tam for over 20 years. Having several friends who are also successful Realtors I never had a doubt that I would be going with Emily as she has always kept others’ best interests at the forefront. As a first time home buyer I was very green to the experience. Emily was very patient throughout the entire process making sure that I saw all types of listings within my price range, so that I could get a full understanding and experience of one of the most important decisions in my life. All the while she would also give me her insights regarding the market, and her honest opinions about each listing, and what it would take to submit a top offer when we saw something I liked. The fact that she wasn't in a rush to find a house for me, but to find the right fit and best available place were key. She looked beyond my initial criteria to make sure we didn't miss anything, and I ended up buying outside my desired city, because she found a place still close by with an extra bedroom! When we put in a bid she would give her honest feedback about what she thought it would take to win, and would explain what the seller would be looking for in those bids. Real Estate in the Bay Area is not an easy proposition, but Emily was able to find me a terrific starter home larger than I could've imagined in a short period of time! Her knowledge, attention to detail, client care, and transparency are so important to the process, and those are the reasons why I would give her my highest recommendation.

I would highly recommend Emily for anyone planning to buy a home in the Peninsula or anywhere in the Bay Area. Her local knowledge is super impressive and she knows the ins and outs of all the areas! She ALWAYS responds in a matter of minutes/few hours and is very prompt to follow up. (Sometimes too fast!) With the way the market is so competitive, I was starting to get dismayed after seeing so many properties go for way above asking. She was very patient with me, and when I went in another direction and purchased a new construction home, Emily helped there as well and even helped negotiate a rather large discount that I definitely wouldn't have gotten without her. Two thumbs up!!

My name is Jim Rau and I have been investing in the real estate market in the Bay Area for over two decades. For almost a decade, Emily has represented me with several purchases and sales of single family homes, multi-unit apartments, and she even assisted me with selling a 184 acre ranch. With her assistance, I did several 1031 exchanges and I have successfully closed several millions of dollars in real estate transactions. Emily has always done a great job for me, she is very professional and knowledgeable, and she is just a very nice person. Thank you Emily. I have more than doubled my rental income, as well as gaining huge equity in all of my investments.

I was living in Los Angeles and I wanted to move to San Francisco.  As an out of town client, Emily and I spent a lot of phone time reviewing listings before I would fly to San Francisco to look at properties.  Emily guided me through the process with such ease.  She never showed me a property that didn't meet my "must haves".  As a San Francisco native, she really knows the city and which neighborhoods would provide my preferred lifestyle.  When she found "the one", she was very persuasive that I get on a plane ASAP.  She had done her homework, and she knew what it would take to close the deal.  The place was perfect and Emily was amazing with handling all the details of inspections, walkthroughs and everything else that needed to be accomplished to complete the sale.  I am now living in my perfect home thanks to Emily's skills, knowledge, and passion for her work.

My family and I were in need of a good realtor who could really serve our needs and sell our homes at a rate desired in a short period of time.  Before we met Emily, one of our homes was listed with another realtor for almost a year and it did not sell. When we started working with Emily, she stepped forward with an action plan to promote and spread the word that our homes were for sale.  She prepared postcards, fliers, and email announcements.  She disseminated them to her vast clientele of investors, flippers, and buyers looking for a new residence.  Before showing the homes to the responders of the announcements, she mobilized a team of contractors and haulers to clean and prep the homes before they were seen by potential buyers.  From the time we accepted Emily as our agent, communication was ongoing. We were never in the dark as to where she was in the process of selling our homes.  We were always kept in the loop.  Lastly, she sold our homes in a short timeframe and at a great price which we were very pleased to see happen.  I cannot thank Emily enough for her hard work and dedication to selling our homes for us.  It was truly a blessing to work with Emily who knew what to do and knew how to get our property sold fast.  Thanks Emily!!!

We couldn’t have imagined a better or safer experience selling a home during the pandemic than the experience we had with Emily Tam as our realtor. Emily was diligent to explain every step of the selling process to us and provided regular updates and reminders.  Her constant guidance, as well as her knowledge and expertise in realty, gave us the ability to feel at ease and make informed decisions.  We never felt hurried or pressured as we worked with Emily. She coordinated more than 70 showings for our property during Covid and helped us acquire an offer well above our asking price.  Thanks to Emily’s incredible talent and tremendous efforts, the selling process went unbelievably smoothly and we couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. If you are looking for a realtor who: -  is honest, extremely organized, and attentive to even the most minute details  - responds in a very timely manner with clear and concise explanations   - always makes time for your questions—big and small - possesses an impressively strong work ethic - and who always has your best interests in mind especially during this unprecedented time of Covid, then Emily Tam comes with our highest recommendation for top-notch service.  Emily has real estate down to a science and provides you with concierge service from beginning to end, making you feel as if you are her only client.  Your experience will be second to none if you choose Emily as your realtor.

“Thank you Emily for your time, talent and expertise that you gave to the Collier Family during the selling of our home in San Francisco.  She made the difference between a regular Real Estate Agent that just takes the first offer that is presented and a SUPER Real Estate Agent that cares about her client’s best interest and naturally the best price for the sale. I can truly say Emily worked with us and to our surprise she almost got double the listed price for our home.  She kept us in the loop from the start of the sale all the way to the closing of the transaction. Emily’s ideas, input, and enthusiasm were most helpful and she was very clear in her instruction during the sale of our home. We were overly joyed with her professionalism that we also recommended her to our friend in the sale of their home. Again, thank you Emily for your contributions, time and efforts through the sale of our home.

"Emily is a sharp and talented real estate agent. She helped my Mother-in-law and Father-in-law sell their home in San Francisco for $50,000 over the price they had hoped to get. San Francisco is her home base and she grew up in the city. Emily took a lot of steps to make sure the home was listed and marketed properly. She took a look at the home before it came on the market. She made suggestions on making changes to the home to make it more appealing to Buyers. Then she worked with the stager and photographer to design the home and to prepare the home for sale. She also assisted my husband and I with our home purchase in the Bay Area. The real estate market is very competitive with multiple offers. She sent listings to us based on the criteria we had given her. She was very prompt in responding when we wanted to view a home and she set up many appointments for us to take a look at the homes. We ended up buying a home we really loved. She helped us negotiate with the Seller’s Agent and she was able to get our offer accepted as the top offer even though there were other offers that came in at the same price. I recommend Emily if you are either selling a home or buying a home in San Francisco and the Bay Area. She will work extremely hard to get you the price you want when you sell your home or help you purchase your dream home that you would like to buy!”

“One of our close friends referred Emily Tam to assist us with selling my family’s condo in the Bay Area. When we met with Emily, she was very professional and personal. Emily made me feel really comfortable with the entire process and she helped me every step of the way. She was always available to answer any questions that we had about the home selling process since it was our first time selling a home. She was honest and upfront about how to market the condo and with how we can get the best price for our home. After marketing our condo for about a week, we received an all cash offer with a very quick close. I highly recommend Emily to anyone looking to do any real estate transaction. I would definitely work with her again! Thanks so much Emily for all your help!”

“Buying and/or selling a home is a big decision, the process and outcome can be life altering. It’s important to make the right decisions along the way, and the first one starts with your agent. I met with dozens of agents, but Emily stood out from the rest. With her, I gained more than an agent, but a true partner in life changing process. I benefited from her vast experience and knowledge, and as a San Francisco native, she knows each neighborhood intimately. Her guidance with selling my home ultimately helped me make one of the best decisions in my life. She gives frank and honest advice, even if it is not to her benefit. Emily will be my only Bay Area real estate partner, and I intend to work with her in my next real estate transaction.”

Tracy O'Hara San Francisco

“The first time I met Emily was at an Open House in San Francisco. Although that transaction didn't work out for me, Emily stayed in touch and kept updating me of available listings that might suit. She was always very professional, knowledgeable and helpful. Since then, I have had multiple transactions with Emily. Her communication was outstanding. She is very hands on from inspections to marketing to staging. Very knowledgeable of the San Francisco and Bay Area real estate and current trends. I highly recommend her.”
