The "Little Real Estate Agent That Could"

"If you want to buy or sell a house in San Francisco, Natalie Pelc of Hill & Co. is just the person to help you. Natalie understands what it takes to buy or sell your home in the crazy Bay Area Real Estate market. We've used her services three times now, all in hectic markets. She helped us buy our first home in the red-hot market of a few years ago, and then more recently helped us again with a sale and buy combination in the bleak markets which are increasingly more common today. In every transaction, we've been amazed at what she was able to do for us. There is no question that she is an agent with great skill, competence, and interpersonal skills.

Natalie is 'the little real estate agent that could'. Don't be fooled by her small stature or voice. She gets the job done, and fights for you in any way that she can. When you have committed to buying or selling a house, she is there for you whenever you need her, and advocates the deal that works best for everyone involved, but never sacrifices what's best for you. She works hard to be sure that she understands your needs, and works within the boundaries you're comfortable with.

We are happy to -- and indeed have -- recommended Natalie to anyone who is looking for a real estate agent."

A Strategy That Secured Our Dream House

"Natalie Pelc has had a tremendous impact in our lives, both as a friend and a realtor. She helped us find and secure our first house in San Francisco, which appreciated greatly in value. This gave Natalie a chance to help us again, with a strategy that secured our dream house in San Francisco! She is patient and understanding of her client's needs, and willing to assist at any level of the process. Natalie's agility, positivity, and technology skills are irreplaceable just like her smile."

Someone I Could Trust Completely

"I worked with Natalie Pelc as my realtor this summer and it was one of the most satisfying experiences I could have imagined. From the beginning, I felt Natalie was someone I could trust completely and this was hugely important considering how terrifying a first-time home purchase can be. Natalie was always on top of everything, giving me a sense of what was coming up next so I was always well prepared. Her knowledge and experience in the SF housing market really served me well in guiding me through the entire process.

Beyond that, Natalie was available post-close for issues that came up and was just as attentive and responsive during that time as prior to the purchase, she always followed up with whomever was necessary to fully close out an issue. I am ecstatic with the home I purchased and have Natalie to thank for helping make that happen. I can't recommend her highly enough, anyone would be lucky to have Natalie by their side, she was a joy to work with! "

A Cut Above the Rest

"I would just like to write to express my appreciation of the great job Natalie did selling my house in the Mission this year. We wanted an accelerated time frame...and Natalie managed to help us stage the house, show it, and have an incredibly great offer accepted in less than two weeks. She managed the whole process like a movie producer, keeping all of the various players (stagers, contractors, inspectors, buyers and us) on the ball and making sure the ball was always moving forward. Even at the blinding speed at which everything progressed, I always felt like I was in the loop and that Natalie had everything under control.

I really admire her dedication to and obvious love of her work. She's definitely in her element in real estate, works like crazy to get the best deal for her clients while never failing to share a genuine smile. Her care, concern and respect for everyone involved were always obvious, but I always felt like my concerns, as her client, were paramount and that she was always working with my best interest in mind.

In the end, she managed to get us a far better price than I originally expected, and far more quickly than I would have ever imagined possible. She stayed actively involved all the way up until the close, making sure that everything went as smoothly as possible. We looked at working with several agents, but I'm glad we decided to go with Natalie, she's a cut above the rest."

Sparkling Personality and Positive Attitude

"We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Natalie Pelc for her excellent work as our real estate agent. Finding an affordable home in San Francisco is no easy task and Natalie handled it with aplomb. When we started looking for a home...we knew it would be a challenge to find everything we were looking for. We were looking in a very specific price range, and we also had very specific needs.

From the beginning Natalie was always very encouraging. She personally showed us many properties, listened extensively to our reactions to each place, and helped us form a clear idea of what we were looking for in a home. She was extremely diligent and expedient in sending us the newest listings, ensuring that we saw the best ones as soon as possible. Natalie checked in with us on a regular basis, even when she didn't have any properties to show us, which made us feel like we were always a top priority. Additionally she was always available for us, willing to meet at any time of the day or night, at our convenience. With our busy schedules this was essential to the success of our search.

In the end we were able to find the perfect home that met every one of our criteria. We can honestly say that we would not be in our beautiful home if anyone but Natalie were our real estate agent. She helped us make the right decisions throughout the bidding process and worked her magic to make the sale close in record time, which was the most important factor to the sellers. Not only is Natalie a professional and diligent agent, her sparkling personality and positive attitude made the entire process fun and virtually stress free! We would not hesitate to recommend Natalie's services to anyone. We will certainly call on her to help us with any real estate needs in the future."

The Driving Force

"I wanted to take the time to thank Natalie Pelc.

Natalie not only helped me find my house, she was also the driving force in selling that same house after my renovations were complete. I had some very specific requirements that I needed to address when I was looking for my new home because I wanted something I could redesign and then turn around for profit quickly.

Natalie pursued this purchase through thorough research and amazing dedication, finding me the perfect home and negotiating a very favorable deal with the selling agents. From the beginning of my project to the end, a time period spanning over a year, Natalie was helpful and involved. I always knew that I had Natalie to turn to for answers and for support.

When the time came to sell the house, Natalie was instrumental in preparing the home for marketing. She then followed through with brochures, ads, showings, and the other various facets of home marketing. She again found and negotiated a fantastic sale even though the housing market had taken a turn down.

I will definitely continue to rely on Natalie for my future projects."

A Pillar of Strength Throughout the Process

"When I began my search for a house that would make my grandmother proud, I asked Natalie Pelc to help me. As we talked about what I wanted and needed in my first home, I was immediately put at ease by Natalie's calm but determined demeanor – she knew this was important to me. She was also confident that we would find the perfect home, and she was right.

The first day we looked at houses together, I distinctly remember Natalie keeping a sharp eye out for the details I had mentioned, and even some I hadn't. Sometimes Natalie turned down a house even before we entered the premises! She was discerning, intuitive, and wouldn't settle for less than what I wanted or what she thought my money could buy. I felt comforted in the knowledge that even though I did not necessarily know what to look for in a house, my real estate agent did.

Even if it mostly goes well, buying a home can be incredibly stressful. Sometimes I felt scared and intimidated by the process – I even wanted to give up at points. Never pushy or demanding, Natalie listened to my frustrations and never asked me to bite off more than I could chew. She respected my feelings, responded to my concerns, and really remained a pillar of strength for me throughout the entire process.

A professional through and through, Natalie was reliable, organized, enthusiastic, and ambitious. Because of her, I had a terrific experience getting a loan, I felt informed and secure throughout the process, and I was able to get a home that more than met my demands.

I would recommend Natalie to anyone looking for a home, and I'm sure if my grandmother was alive today to see my house, she would agree."
