Testimonials

We are so happy in our new home and we wouldn't be here without your perserverance and gentle care guiding us through. Thank you!

Finding a real estate agent you can trust is a daunting task especially when buying your first home in a market like San Francisco. Sue brought unparalleled expertise to our unique home purchase process, taking time to patiently explain each step along the way. She always worked with diligence to ensure no deadlines were missed and passionately to help us realize our dream. When it's time to move again there is no doubt who we'll be working with!

You were superb in the negotiations and we could not have found a better real estate specialist. Thanks for all of your hard work. We are so very pleased with the results. We will most certainly call you when and if we decide to sell the place in the future....But for now, we are staying put! Thanks again for all of your hard work!

In the end it is all about the relationship and trust -- and Sue exceeds expectations in these areas. Not only with her customers, but just as importantly with other key players involved in the process of a real estate transaction (other agents, brokers, lenders, etc.). I highly recommend her services

Sue is a dedicated professional who knows the inside and out of the industry and is pleasure to work with! She is tenacious and listens to her clients needs and takes this information to heart when looking to sell or purchase a home for a client. Sue as well as all of the professionals at Paragon work diligently as a team. I recommend her highly!

Sue acted as my agent when buying my first home in San Francisco this summer. Not only did she have expert knowledge of the market, but also she advised me with honesty and my best interests at hand. Her continued patience and due diligence throughout the process was top notch - not to mention the fact that she negotiated a fantastic deal! Her work ethic is exceptional, and I could not recommend her more highly!

Thank you to Paragon and specifically to Mike and his team of Real Estate professionals. They provided sound guidance and support throughout the buying process - which was all very comforting for first time buyers like ourselves. We feel very good about the property we purchased and look forward to working with Mike the next time we go down this path.

We had an exceptional experience working with Sue Schultes and Mike Murphy both as buyers and as sellers. They have a lot of experience in the Glen Park area and I recommend them without hesitation. We appreciate the partnership they have as agents and their service was seamless.

Sue and Mike helped me find my first home and were able to protect me from a special assessment by negotiating with the sellers to keep money in escrow for the pre-existing building issues. Plus they’re personable, honest and made me feel like I was their only client!

I chose Mike and Sue as my agents because of their excellent communication skills. They always responded quickly and professionally and offered solutions. I had them and one other agent look at the property to give me an appraisal. They replied the next day, suggesting to upgrade the bathroom and other small improvements. They quoted a selling price of $45K higher than the other agent, sent me supporting documents and comps. I never had to ask for information. They were always a step ahead of me - whereas the other agent replied days later with the quote and nothing else. I have recommended Mike and Sue to my friends.

I was referred to Sue by a friend who was pleased with the new home she helped him buy. Sue and I started working together when the market was very unpredictable, and we bid on numerous homes until finally finding the one that outshines them all. Throughout the process, Sue was persistent, committed and always had her eye on the ball. She new my taste and needs and anticipated my questions and concerns. Her instincts were precise and her understanding of my purchase needs flawless. She continues to go above and beyond the call of duty, even after the purchase is complete. I can’t think of a better experience than the one I had with Sue.

If you or anyone you know is looking to explore the San Francisco Bay Area's real estate market, Mike and Sue are the two you need to work with. They’re patient, great listeners and take the time to get to know their clients and their needs/desires. Thanks to Mike and Sue, I am a happy new home owner!

Sue and Mike are two of the most professional people I have ever worked with. During the sale of our San Francisco Marina district condominium, there were several unanticipated and complicated issues regarding commonly shared space and repair of shared building use with owners of another unit. Sue and Mike handled every situation calmly, clearly and with the utmost professional and respectful manner. They went above and beyond their duties as our real estate agents by being so communicative and understanding during a difficult transaction. Additionally they were very detailed oriented and knew precisely what it takes to make an already beautiful home even more attractive to a buyer. With their input and great connections, our home looked better than ever and it got asking price. They’re mature, responsible, and very enjoyable to work with and we would recommend them to anyone.

Mike has helped my wife and me with some of the biggest decisions of our married lives: The purchase and sale of both our first and second homes in San Francisco. Mike's unparalleled level of professionalism, integrity, and intensity helped us through these negotiations with the piece of mind that we were working with the best. We really appreciate Mike's calm, confident, objective, and level-headed approach that keeps even difficult deals running smoothly. He knows the market and works hard for our best interests. We wouldn't use anyone else in Northern California.

I would like to commend Mike Murphy and the entire Paragon Team for the world class real estate support provided to us. Our monumental effort required cross country coordination through multiple contractors to ensure the structural fire insurance repairs were completed to the exterior, living room, kitchen, bathrooms and basement. Other work required landscaping upgrades, fence repairs, termite work, sewer line corrective work and final staging preparation. Through Mike Murphy's attention to detail, all efforts and sale milestones were expertly coordinated with absolute professionalism. Despite a down housing market and other properties for sale in the same neighborhood our house had 2 offers within a few weeks. We sold the house within a month thanks to the Paragon Team's awesome marketing plan, total professionalism and keen salesmanship ability. If you want results, Mike Murphy is the best.
