Rubi Kawamura – Coldwell Banker

I attended a seminar on real estate investment given by Rubi last year and I was very impressed by her expertise and helpfulness. I especially appreciated the fact that she gives the seminars in Japanese and English as my native language is Japanese.
More recently she connected me with a mortgage broker who helped me refinance my condominium. I’ve always found her to be really efficient and prompt to answer my questions and concerns.

A few years ago my wife and I decided to relocate from our long-​time single-​family residence in the Outer Richmond due to my retirement. We knew Rubi a bit and explored our options with her. From then on the experience could not have been better! She guided us through the entire process — house improvement, permits, list price, marketing, presentation, bidding, closing — with expertise, efficiency, good cheer, and ultimate success. We were especially impressed with her knowledge of the local market, her wise strategic advice, and her boundless enthusiasm. Five stars, without reservation. If you’re thinking of selling your home in San Francisco, talk to Rubi!

Rubi helped us find our new home, a process that took months and months. She worked tirelessly and professionally to help find us a place that we loved and met our needs, which was a difficult and time-​consuming undertaking in this market. She explained every step in the process thoroughly and provided helpful guidance. We really feel like she spent a lot of time and effort to ensure we were happy. She has good instincts, thorough knowledge and works very hard. Very highly recommended.

My partner and I go open house hopping on weekends to see what is out there and because we are nosy. That is how we met Rubi when she was showing a co-​op in San Francisco over 2 years ago. She was welcoming, warm and professional. Not to mention we fell in love with the unit as well — perfect size, big patio and above all LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!
We were first time home buyers and our knowledge were limited to what we’ve seen on HGTV, but we knew instinctively we wanted Rubi to represent us, even though she was representing the sellers as well. She was thorough with everything and sat with us, patiently answering all of the questions we had. She was always available and returned our calls and emails right away. The transaction couldn’t have gone any smoother, and even though it was the biggest purchase of our lives we were comfortable every step of the way thanks to Rubi.
Last year we had to temporarily relocate to New York for work and had to rent out the co-​op. Rubi was there to help us again — screening the prospective tenants and drawing up the lease. Again, she was very thorough and patient. She is one of the most detail oriented and professional person I’ve met.
I would recommend Rubi to every prospective home buyer. She will be there for you to answer any question and guide you to the light. She is simply a wonderful person!

Rubi was great from start to finish, and the start was almost 10 years ago…
My husband and I wanted to buy a home for many years now, and every time we put our toes in the crazy SF market for the last 8 or 9 years, Rubi was there to answer our questions and help us determine if it was the right time for us and what the market was like.
Finally, this year we were able to actually purchase our first home and it was with Rubi. She was professional, courteous, responsive, supportive and knowledgeable. She made sure to put our needs first and to make sure we understood everything about the transaction.
A home purchase is a very big decision and not to be taken lightly. Rubi gets that and supports you where you are at and helps you get what will suit you and your needs.
Highly recommend Rubi for your real estate needs. We couldn’t be happier with our new home purchase and owe much of the search and success of the transaction going so smoothly to Rubi.
