““I recently had the privilege of working with Angelo Cosentino to sell my home in the Diamond Heights area of San Francisco. I interviewed several other “top” Realtors®, but it was clear from the beginning that Angelo possessed a wealth of local knowledge and is an industry expert. At the first meeting, we spoke about a plan to get the home sold and Angelo was very upfront and provided realistic expectations. Angelo had the place professionally staged and it looked amazing, both when showing the home and for the pictures. I got lots of compliments from friends on how great the place looked after the staging was done and how beautiful the pictures looked.
My condo may have been a challenge to sell as the rear lot was approved for low income housing and many potential buyers didn’t want to take on the additional perceived risk. Also, our old buildings needed retrofitting for the SF mandatory Soft Story Seismic Upgrades, another buyer risk. But that didn’t stop Angelo from getting the place sold for over asking price! He’s truly an expert at marketing, and he found the perfect buyer. I was blessed to have Angelo as my Realtor, I really don’t think it would have sold if I didn’t use him.” ”
““Angelo is a top notch agent! Our family was so lucky to have an agent with such professionalism, knowledge, and most importantly, heart. We highly recommend Angelo’s outstanding service!” ”
“Dear Paragon Real Estate Group,
I wanted to give a big thank you to Angelo Cosentino, one of your agents. “I am impressed beyond expectations”. He did an awesome job selling my house. When you’re selling your biggest asset you want somebody with experience who knows San Francisco real estate. He has excellent knowledge and negotiation skills that are key in a multiple bidding situation. My house was marketed under value to garnish interest and develop offers which of course happened. He is very honest and a no nonsense kinda of Realtor®and has the ability in any setting to communicate with all types of buyers and Realtors® He was also always available when I had questions or something came up. I was always kept in loop right up to the hour the house closed escrow at title company. I would highly recommend him to anybody selling or buying a house in San Francisco or Marin County County.
Sincerely,
Eric Braverman, Owner

““When it was time to sell our house in Bernal Heights, San Francisco, there was no one else we’d have chosen but Angelo. He handles the fun parts of buying and selling real estate as well as the complicated parts with equal ease and expertise. “ ”
““Hi Charles E Moore, just wanted you to know that we are receiving First Class treatment from your/our thoughtful and highly professional listing agent Angelo Cosentino and today, the delightfully warm and welcoming Shenna Moe helped with the Open House. The marketing materials are stellar, really the best I have ever seen...even the sign outside is classy...w/ lights at night! Truly, you make listing with “M” an uplifting experience...even during this emotional, stressful time...we feel that we are in such good hands! You have created an EXCELLENT company...McGuire Real Estate is the best!” [shared via Facebook to CEO of McGuire Real Estate, Charles Moore.] ”
““5 stars is well-deserved for Angelo. He’s a straight to the point, no non-sense Realtor®who gets things done. Moreover, he’s very relaxed and easy to work with. I recently closed escrow with him on a home in San Rafael. As a loan officer, it is refreshing to work with Realtors like him. Angelo came through for our mutual client and made it easy on my end. Go Angelo!” ”
““We recently hired Angelo to help us with the sale of our family home in Novato. My siblings and I were not living in the area at the time, so it was important that we hire an experienced agent, and someone we could trust to help us. During the process, Angelo visited the property repeatedly to ensure that our home was being prepared and was on track. Angelo offered his insight throughout the process, helping guide us so that we could net the most for our home. He is extremely knowledgeable about the complexities that go along with selling homes. He is highly professional, and great to work with. “”
““My wife and I greatly enjoyed working with Angelo on our home purchase in Tiburon. I was a skeptic in terms of the value that real estate agents can add to the home buying process, but working with Angelo made me fully appreciate what an experienced professional can do. Angelo is a San Francisco native and has been involved in countless transactions both as an investor and an agent representing his clients. He not only has a solid understanding of property values in Tiburon and Marin, but also has the experience and skill to develop a strategic approach to negotiating each phase of a transaction. In my opinion, his expertise in this area is critical and it helped my wife and I buy the home we wanted in Tiburon, and we saved a tremendous amount of money. Knowing how and when to negotiate and keep a transaction alive is truly where Angelo can help. He is also extremely professional, attended every meeting and inspection, and can provide the guidance needed on every aspect of home ownership, including financing and taxation. Whether you are buying or selling a home, I would recommend Angelo to any person that is serious about optimizing one of life’s most important personal transactions.” ”
““I have had the pleasure of working with Angelo over the last year as his stager and he is an absolute pleasure to work with. He’s trustworthy, engaged, attentive, thoughtful and very calm, even under extreme pressure. He knows the market inside out. I’ve seen him interact with his clients and co-workers and his unflappable, friendly attitude paired with knowledge of the market makes him a cut above the rest. You will not be disappointed with his work!” ”
““We had an exceptional experience with Angelo! He is extremely insightful, responsive, and has a passion for being a Realtor®. He put our needs first.” ”
““Thanks guys, it’s been a pleasure working with both of you. I have zero hesitation referring either of you. Purchasing a home, particularly in the Bay Area, is a stressful and competitive process. I truly feel we had the best on our side, to make this a very smooth transaction. Thanks again.” ”
““We’ve worked with Angelo over many years and trust him representing us both as a home seller and as a home buyer. He is superb! Not only is Angelo very experienced, knowledgeable and helpful, but he is also honest and up front on what is realistic in the market today. We would highly recommend him to others and would use him again ourselves. He is competent, no-nonsense, professional and insightful - what more do you need?!” ”
““Angelo is a fantastic agent - he helped us purchase a home in Marin County. We were able to find a terrific property and negotiate a great deal. Angelo is very knowledgeable about homes in Marin (he lives in San Anselmo!), and had a good read on the market in these uncertain times. He made the paperwork understandable and the process was well organized. I would highly recommend Angelo to folks looking to sell or buy a property.” ”
““Angelo worked with us to buy our first home on the Peninsula, caring about us every step of the way. For us, buying our first home could have been very stressful without an experienced agent - - - since it was a particularly competitive time in the housing market, and we were pregnant with our first child. Angelo guided us through the process and we always felt well informed and very comfortable. For one thing, it took us almost a year to find the right home and Angelo was extremely patient, all the while working closely with us to understand what “right” meant to us and then showing us home after home that matched our definition. It didn’t matter that “right” changed as time went on…he was always there for us…and continued to be after we moved in and continues to be to this day. Angelo really understands that it’s about relationships and the principles that successful ones are built on.” ”
““We had the pleasure of working with Angelo in two different capacities. The first was that we (enLuce Photography) were honored in taking his head shots!! It was a very fun afternoon. Angelo is one of the funniest, warmest people. The afternoon was filled with pictures, sandwiches, and humor - definitely not a dry eye. And the second one was that we referred some of our good friends to him. Being that Angelo services both Marin and San Francisco, he was able to help our friends that were undecided on where to look for homes!! He knows both markets very well and has business relationships with Realtors®all over the Bay Area. This was very helpful to our friends. In the end, he found them a beautiful home in Mill Valley and they can’t say enough about him. He was not only very detail oriented and timely but made the whole process very fun. Riding around in a car looking for real estate could be very boring and tedious....but not with Angelo. With the experience my friend’s had, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Angelo to anybody looking for a realtor in San Francisco, Marin, or anywhere in the Bay Area.””
““Angelo helped me find my first and current house in San Francisco. We looked at only a handful of listings before we both knew he had found the perfect house for me. The home was a little beyond my price range but eventually, when the price dropped enough to fit into my budget, he jumped into action and helped me through the process of purchasing my first home. Having never bought a house before, I was a little intimidated by the process but he - and the people he recommended to help along the way- made it a ridiculously easy procedure. His advice and suggestions were always genuine and beneficial. He was there to help me step by step and has even been there to help well after I moved in. I will definitely be calling Angelo when the time comes to upgrade to my second home!” ”
““Angelo helped me buy and sell in Bernal Heights, San Francisco. He did a great job both times. He is always available for advice when I need it and is always happy to help out in anyway he can. I highly recommend him. Top qualities: Great results, personable, high integrity.” ”
““Angelo has helped us buy and sell several homes in the San Francisco Bay Area. We were so glad we found him! He has offered us lots of insight about various properties, and fully understands the San Francisco real estate market. He not only helped guide us in a large home purchase, but he has helped us sell two other properties. He is a GREAT negotiator and really represents YOU. He is also super friendly, and a true real estate pro. Angelo prides himself on knowing all about the current homes on the market inside-and-out, and also really understands the inner workings of homes. Angelo will walk you through every step of the home buying process, and he will even be there for you after. I will continue to recommend him to all my friends in SF!! You would be LUCKY to work with him!””
““Angelo knows his way around the real estate business - he has a friendly relaxed style that is very calming when the home-buying process heats up. He is an expert in all aspects of real estate and won’t steer you wrong. He helped us moved from San Francisco to Marin, and has helped friends and family buy and sell as well. There’s no one else we’d trust with such a huge event.””
““Angelo helped us buy our home in San Anselmo, after having owned abroad previously. He was really fantastic. He was patient and listened to what we wanted and we saw properties that we were truly interested in culminating into our present home. We knew he always genuinely had our interests at heart and never felt he was pushing us in to a purchase. We have recommended him to friends who have also been extremely happy with him and found homes they love. The results he achieves for people are testimony to how great an agent he is!” ”
““I give Angelo Cosentino my highest recommendation. The process of buying a house can be daunting, but Angelo made it an incredibly positive process. He was there for us whenever we had questions with professionalism and an easy manner. Angelo made a huge difference, and we would not hesitate in using his services again.” ”
““My wife and I relied on Angelo in every way when we bought our first home in San Anselmo, and he came through! When a friend referred us to Angelo, we knew almost nothing about the real estate market, or the buying process. We faced a steep learning curve, and needed an agent who was both extremely knowledgeable about the market, and who would be patient with us and make us feel comfortable taking this huge financial leap. Not only did Angelo know every single one of the neighborhoods we were interested in — both in San Francisco and in Marin — but he seemed to have spent considerable time in each one. He knew short cuts, and schools, and had all sorts of little insights about the character of each community that helped us narrow down our search and identify the places we felt would be the best fit. But more importantly, Angelo was a patient steward for our process. He never tired of explaining, and then re-explaining, (and sometimes explaining again!) each intricacy of the process, whether it was about closing or taxes or negotiation. He was always in good humor, spent way too many late evenings listening to our questions and walking us through yet another home, and never showed even a hint of the sort of anxiousness or impatience that could have made us feel rushed or uncertain. Angelo guided the process itself excellently. He helped us choose professionals to work with in our inspections, accompanied us to every meeting, simplified all the legal paperwork, and helped us make sense of the inspection results and make smart negotiating decisions based on the outcomes we faced. When our negotiations, at one point, got rocky — We felt Angelo was firmly looking out for our interests, and not just trying to make another sale. That trust gave us the confidence to buy our new home. I would wholeheartedly recommend Angelo, and especially to first-time home buyers.” ”
