"Eileen is very knowledgeable about the SF real estate market and has an excellent understanding of the different neighborhoods . She was also very prompt, be it for in person house showings or communications via email. Also, even in this crazy sellers market she never pushed me to bid higher than I was comfortable. On the house that I ended up buying she showed me the comps and actually encouraged me to bid lower than what my initial thoughts were. Eileen truly works in best interest of the clients even when that may result in a lot more work for her."

"Eileen helped us buy the property we were selling this time, and we’re so glad we chose her to represent us again. She is incredibly good at her job—she knows the SF market inside out, this is clearly her passion. Eileen was always on call and able to handle our concerns from our initial meeting to choosing stagers and walking us through inspections, offers, and escrow documents (we couldn’t have wished for a smoother sale). She is extremely professional but always calm and collected with a great sense of humor. We highly recommend Eileen, she’s a joy to work with!"

"I could not have been happier with Eileen’s support of my condo sale. She navigates the tricky SF market conditions expertly. She was patient with my emotions as I prepared to sell my home, she was strategic about necessary and unnecessary improvements to support the best price at the lowest cost She was on time and over-delivered. I would love to work with her again! My sale went beyond expectation with 7 offers and way over asking. Eileen was a true partner and leader. I cannot recommend her highly enough."

"We just purchased our first home with Eileen Bermingham, and cannot recommend her strongly enough.
Eileen worked with us for over 2.5 years while we searched for our dream home in San Francisco. She was infinitely knowledgeable about local neighborhoods, architecture and property law. She was also incredibly patient with us as we figured out our own tastes and priorities, and as those evolved over time, and quickly took on new information to adapt her advice and search strategy. We found her to be always accessible -- we would often email her at all hours of the day with random listings we’d seen, and promptly hear back with well-researched information and thoughtful opinions. She has an extensive network and was often able to get us additional information very quickly directly from the sellers’ agents.
Eileen was often available on very short notice to attend open houses and, more recently, to set up individual visits to listings during COVID. She was frank with her opinions but never imposed her own tastes on us. At the same time, she was always willing and able to send us resources to help us educate ourselves on the pros and cons of various options.
Going through the process of making an offer with Eileen was a calm, reaffirming and stress-free (as much as first-time home-buying can be) experience. She was able to source and book a structural engineer for an inspection on less than 12 hours’ notice. During the escrow and closing process, she was constantly on top of next steps and calmly held our hands through a few minor bumps.
Even after we’d closed, she had ready recommendations for movers and contractors.
We definitely hope to work with Eileen again in the future!"

"We've had the pleasure of working with Eileen on two transactions, 14 years apart. She was our agent when we purchased and sold our house. With the sale of our house Eileen was able to skillfully navigate through some complicated permit issues and develop a proactive plan to move forward. She was perfect on her communications and sales strategy for the house enabling us to receive the best possible offer. With challenges brought on by the pandemic and our relocation she never missed a beat and took care of everything, even our high maintenance requests. Without a doubt we would recommend Eileen to anyone looking to buy or sell a house in San Francisco. She is hands down fantastic!"

"As a first time buyer in an already volatile market during a pandemic, I was nervous about the process. Eileen went over the top in addressing all of my concerns and questions. She was available at all hours of the day (and nights/weekends) and showed tremendous expertise and experience in helping me navigate through the entire experience from start to finish. She provided multiple top-notch contacts for all of the services I needed and I am beyond happy with my purchase. Even though the Covid buying experience was new to her as well, she went the extra mile to make sure everything went as smoothly as possible. She will definitely be the first person I call when it is time to move."

"This is the fourth real estate transaction in which we have had the distinct privilege of working with Eileen over the past decade. Eileen knows the local market well, and more importantly, is well versed in the local idiosyncrasies of negotiating and trading homes in San Francisco. She again has demonstrated herself to be impeccably organized, unfailingly punctual and responsive, but most importantly consistently honest.
In a very busy time of our lives, Eileen was able to help us purchase our dream home, prepare and sell our previous home, and navigate some thorny contract issues, all with us barely even taking notice. And after the dust settled on all the activity, she remained engaged to tie up any and all concerns and details that were left hanging, no matter how minor.
Choose her as your agent and she will be your ride-or-die. I could not possibly recommend her more!"

"In the highly charged atmosphere of the San Francisco real estate market it was critical for me to work with an agent who would have a comprehensive knowledge of the market and be able to embrace and work with my personal situation and needs. Which meant I needed a quick turnaround during less-than-peak time of year for sales. Eileen perfectly priced my property and selected the most advantageous time to market it given the time of year. And I ended up with a result that far exceeded my expectations in every regard. With the bonus that Eileen is brilliant at what she does and extremely personable and a joy to work with. I could not be happier!"

"We found Eileen Bermingham through a family friend who's a real estate agent. She came very highly recommended. After our first phone conversation with her, we were totally impressed. Eileen is ultra competent, sharp, detail-oriented, honest, and straightforward. She made what would have otherwise been a very complicated and stressful process feel totally manageable. She set clear expectations with us every step of the way, so we always knew what was going on. It was clear she understood our priorities and our needs, and we felt very taken care of from start to finish. She was an incredible guide and advocate for us throughout the whole process, and we're so grateful for the role she played in helping us find our dream home."

"Eileen Bermingham helped us buy our home in 2014, and sell in 2019. In both instances, she went above and beyond every step of the way. The selling of our home was somewhat complicated, since there was a lot of preparation to do before the sale, and we had already moved out of state. We completely trusted Eileen to be our point person with all of the vendors doing the work, etc. She communicated with us daily with updates and handled everything with utmost professionalism. We are very pleased with the purchase price, and there were absolutely no issues with the sale. We really couldn't be more satisfied customers."

"My family and I have worked with Eileen multiple times over the past decade on various home purchases and sales in San Francisco and could not possibly give her a stronger recommendation.
We have consistently found her to be an excellent, punctual communicator (even with midnight texts when she is traveling abroad!), and unfailingly honest. Several times she has talked us out of making an offer on a property, or strongly advised us to offer less despite all the incentives and economic factors pushing her act in the opposite direction. Eileen is exquisitely organized and brings a tremendous amount of experience and knowledge to the table; and is both a strong advocate and negotiator.
Most recently, she helped us purchase our dream home in an off-market transaction. This type of sale was new to us but she provided expert guidance, support, and advice throughout the entire process. She gets full marks from us and certainly recommend Eileen for your next home sale or purchase!"

"This was our second time working with Eileen Bermingham, both as buyer and seller, and she continues to exceed expectations. You'd think maybe we just got lucky the first time after she got our very first offer accepted out of nearly 20 offers as buyer; but after delivering high quality offers that exceeded our expectations and a smooth, successful sale years later as seller, it is clear that none of it was luck. Highly recommend Eileen and look forward to working with her again."

"I'm so happy I found Eileen! She was always open, straight forward and knowledgeable. I cannot imagine going through my first time home buying process with anyone else. Eileen was patient with me and helped me understand and learn about the real estate market as a complete novice and was excellent all the way past closing-- always responsive and available. I highly recommend her as a trust worthy and expert real estate agent."

"Eileen did an absolutely stellar job as our buyer's agent in SF. We couldn't have wished for a more knowledgeable, helpful, and responsive real estate professional during the rather involved, multi-month process of buying our first home, during most of which we were still living 700 miles away, in Seattle.
We knew that trying to buy a house in SF's crazy market would require a high-caliber, smart, reasonable, hands-on, and well-connected advisor just like Eileen. We discovered her through her blog (insidesfre.com) and Yelp reviews. We interviewed six prospective agents on the phone, about an hour each. From the start, Eileen stood out as someone who seemed exceptionally knowledgeable, trustworthy, and willing to understand and cater to our needs. Several other agents we interviewed (all highly-rated, by the way) made claims like "I never write more than 1-2 offers", effectively demanding that we'd work on their terms to boost their numbers. Eileen, on the other hand, never tried to push us or sell us on anything. Instead, her approach was much more customer-centric: She'd be available 24/7, providing expert advice, while we would make the decisions– a true partnership.
We spent several months exchanging listings many times a week, and several weeks viewing houses in person. Since we lived in Seattle at the time, Eileen arranged many private showings on weeknights to align with my schedule (I was traveling to SF for business almost weekly). We wrote a total of three offers, on our terms, ultimately winning our dream starter home. Eileen guided us every step of the way, answering emails, texts, and calls effectively around the clock, always making time for us. Her data-driven approach and matter-of-fact-ness helped us make sound decisions and keep cool throughout this highly probabilistic, high-stakes, highly emotional process. We highly recommend Eileen and would absolutely work with her again in the future."

"Eileen Bermingham is a superstar! I had already moved to NY when I decided to sell my Pac Heights condo, and she handled every aspect necessary to prepare the property for sale - including a fairly complicated toilet replacement project involving two toilets and marble work. She kept me updated on developments throughout the process and converted documents to DocuSign so that I could execute them remotely. Eileen’s positive attitude and sense of humor made the entire process enjoyable and I would certainly work with her again. I highly recommend Eileen!"

"Eileen is an amazing buyer's agent! She is honest, responsive, organized, and very knowledgeable of every kind of house and neighborhood we looked at. Eileen played an important role in helping us find the houses that we were interested, sharing her honest thoughts on the pro's and con's of each property. We would often send Eileen a list of properties that we were interested in, and she would respond quickly with detailed information about each one -- sharing her honest thoughts that we may have otherwise missed. We were able to buy a wonderful house on our 2nd offer."

"I wish I could praise her more. She really did it all!! I super appreciated her prompt replies and her coaching us through the process. She was integral in helping us analyze our options and make informed decisions. Her vast SF experience from both a geographic and market perspective is invaluable. And, she is beyond organized so you don't have to be! Her knowledge extends beyond the property side and into all aspects of your purchase including close coordination with our lender prior to and during closing. Also, once you seal the deal, she has an amazing network of professionals to refer you to for any new home services you may need. Again, SHE IS THE BEST!!
Thanks to Eileen, my SF native family gets to stay in the city we love."

"Finding and purchasing a home in San Francisco is difficult and overwhelming especially for first time buyers like us. Bidding wars and all cash buyers is only the tip of the iceberg that would discourage you from moving forward. But with Eileen, she can guide and tell you where and what to do. With 15+ years of experience she knows the ins and outs of the market. She was very patient with us and educated us during the entire process. Because of her we were able to buy a place that we now call home. She is one of the best and SHE IS FABULOUS!
Thank you so much, Eileen!"
