Ali is a great partner starting from my house search to closing the deal. He is very responsive on calls, and very very accommodating on my requests. I had a pleasure of working with Ali in my buying the house.

Ali is super responsive, quick turn around time. We have lots of questions and Ali is very patient. If he doesn't know the answers he would find out for us. We really enjoyed working with him and his teammates at Redfin.

This is the second home I’ve bought with Ali. He’s honest, strategic and a delight to work with. He’s incredibly quick & responsive, and this was key for us winning our preemptive offer. 10/10 would recommend!

Though we were able to get into contract to sell our home with Ali after ~10 days and was responsive when we wanted to get in touch with him, it did not feel like Ali made much of an effort to help us get to the best selling price possible. The general theme of Ali's approach was tell us how terrible the San Francisco market was for a condo like ours, how our condo wasn't a fit for majority of buyers, and that we should essentially be happy with any offer. We walked away feeling like our agent wasn't doing justice to our home, but because we wanted to close quickly and knew it was unlikely any additional actions from Ali/Redfin would help us get a better outcome, we capitulated to the initial offer we received. There were also a couple ideas that Ali had shared that in retrospect, I'm... Show More

Ali is unbelievably responsive and knowledgable. As a first-time buyer, I was biting my nails at every step of the process, but I could always count on Ali to explain what was happening, what I needed to do, and, most importantly, calm my nerves. I don't think you could find a better agent.

Ali responds shockingly fast to any message and is really available to you any time of day. Our home purchase went through some ups and downs with negotiation and Ali made the deal happen by proactively reaching out again and again to the listing agent. Only small negative is that it would have been great to see him in person more often, but he was very personable when we did meet. As a benefit since you'll be speaking to him a lot during purchasing: he's also funny!

Many realtors said they knew Ali and he’s clearly familiar with the network. He’s also a great at customer service. He kept us timely informed and was happy to speak on the phone at any time. Going with Ali and Redfin is a great decision.

Highly recommended agent! Redfin assigned Ali as our agent during our search for our property, and he was amazing from start to finish. We are first time homebuyers so we needed someone who can guide us through the entire process. He was professional, knowledgeable and provided sound advice on multiple properties. He saved our thousands of dollars from recommending us to make the right offer price that ultimately seller accepted. He is super responsive from morning till late evening, and always available for us! We couldn’t have asked for a better agent. He is the best. I would recommend Ali to my friends and friend for their real estate transactions.

Ali was fabulous to work with and we truly feel we couldn't have gotten our home without him. From the beginning of our search, he was an invaluable source of "real talk" SF real estate advice, which is so key in the current intense market. He worked with us to identify our priorities and make sure we were looking at the right properties. When it came time to make an offer on the home we fell in love with, Ali was relentless -- he was in super close contact with the listing agent from the time the home went on market, and because of this we were able to make a preemptive offer that was ultimately accepted. When we were touring the property after mutual acceptance the listing agent told us that Ali was crucial in getting us the property. In fact, every single person that has come by the... Show More

Amazing is simply not enough of a compliment from me on how Ali (and Jane, who staged my condo for sale) handled the entire process! You may need help to get the best price or get your place looking it’s best for a possible sale. Well, look no further than Ali and his team. I’ve been in business for over 25 years and I’ve got to say that he will over deliver (both when it comes to attention and negotiation). Look no further and work with the best!

Ali was a fantastic partner in this journey! Ali is empathetic, understood our needs, provided very helpful feedback and guidance, always had an opinion and shared honestly. Ali knows the market in SF and has an intuitive sense for value. And when it came down to it, Ali moved quickly and guided us through an offer process that enabled us to buy an amazing house. Once we went into contract, Ali was responsive and incredibly helpful in guiding us to a close.

If you are looking for a luxury condo in SF, Ali is definitely your guy! This is what I was looking for, with sky high requirements and within my budget. Ali helped me shortlist and tailer down to relevant options. He is highly connected, and helped me find a property that was not yet on the market. Skilled negotiator, reads people well, and he tried to make my dollars work for me every step of the way. Thank you, Ali!

We benefited from Ali’s deep knowledge of the SF market and expertise in closing the deal in a competitive market. He is a great communicator who not only takes the time to explain things every step of the way but also provides his insights which we valued greatly. Ultimately we were able to get our offer accepted as Ali worked tirelessly around the holidays. Ali is simply the best and we would recommend all our friends and family to work with him!

Ali was the perfect match for us in buying our very first home! He is direct, pragmatic, and has a great sense of humor. He takes an investment approach to evaluate properties and is thoughtful about what things are actually worth - which we found incredibly helpful in making the biggest purchase of our lives. As a first time home buyer, I really appreciate how through our conversations I became more confident about what we were doing and even what our priorities were. He is also great at closing the deal - we fell in love with the last house we toured, paid less than listing, and live there now! Thank you, Ali!

He also provided thoughtful strategies per scenario we were in and provided the roadmap of the whole buying process. He helped provide useful advice during the negotiation process and more.

Ali was great to work with throughout the process. I was a first time homebuyer and he taught me everything I needed to know. He put me in touch with a fantastic mortgage broker. He was always available when I had questions; the night before I put in my first offer, he was responding to my nervous texts at midnight. Searching for a house during COVID was complicated, but he always prioritized my health while finding ways to keep the search moving. He helped me navigate a complicated multi offer rebid and we ultimately won against several other bids. Lastly, his sense of humor kept the whole process fun and light. I'd gladly work with him again.

Dude is just great. Extremely responsive, no BS, and felt like a fierce warrior on "Team Me" in my first house buying experience. Two shining examples of his ingenuity: - When relocation company on seller's side was dragging feet, Ali came up with and convinced all parties to agree to prolonging closing period to 6 weeks, giving us two more weeks of time to optimize finances. - When the title company failed to spot a solar loan on the books, Ali suggested a prolonged escrow holding till tax bill came out to protect all parties. After initial scoffs from title, they eventually agreed Ali's original idea is the best way to go. Ali literally did the title company's job for them.

Ali is the best! If you are looking for an agent to help you look for property in the San Francisco area, Ali is your guy. I chose Ali on Redfin as my agent because of all the positive reviews that he received. After my experience, I can see now why Ali is rated so highly. Ali is a very straightforward person. During our initial conversation, he was very frank with what he does best: getting you the best deal and being as responsive as possible. He was also upfront with what he was not going to do: handhold you like a traditional agent and drive you around to see each and every property (I don't think anyone using Redfin should expect that). Ali gave a list of actionable items to do to be competitive buyer in the San Francisco market and that was very helpful. I looked at several... Show More

From the moment we began engaging with Ali, we knew he was entirely on our team. He made himself available to answer questions both big and small at all hours of the day and night. He is THE reason our offer was accepted. He gave us incredibly helpful advice and support every step of the way. He was funny, attentive, and knowledgeable. We couldn’t have asked for a better realtor!

I met Ali when I toured my first property through Redfin. At that time, I didn't have a full sense of what I was looking for. Location, size, price, features -- all of the main criteria were still fungible in my mind. Over the next few months, Ali worked hard to help me ultimately find the right property. Ali is friendly and is great at making you feel comfortable through the process. He's direct, honest, and never wasted my time by pushing me in misguided directions in my search. Once we found the right place, Ali helped guide me through the offer process, giving me a comprehensive rundown of how to weigh the different approaches and outcomes that may come from the offer process. The path from contract to close was as smooth as it could be. Ali was always quick to respond, attentive,... Show More

Ali was a super star throughout this buying process! He answered all my questions honestly. He didn’t push me to do anything I didn’t want to do (I.e. offer when I wasn’t ready, try to convince me of the value of the property, sway me one way or the other). He overly communicated and always picked up my calls no matter the time of day. It was such a pleasure working with him and would recommend him to all of my friends.

Ali was absolutely fabulous, he helped us throughout the entire process and was available at any time to chat through options, discuss how we felt about places we viewed, or just answer questions we had about the process. He made everything simple and easy from touring homes through to our first offer, and this continued once we started the closing process. We couldn't be happier here and we're so grateful we had Ali there to guide us through the process. We'll recommend him to any of our friends who are interested in buying in SF.

Ali was great throughout all stages of the buying process. We were first time home buyers and Ali helped us set realistic expectations and timelines for the neighborhoods we were interested in. He made sure we understood our options in terms of financing and contingencies so that we were ready to make a strong offer when the time came. He had great insights on all the properties we saw and was always available and quick to respond when we had questions. Most importantly, he helped us beat out multiple offers and counter offers to get the house we wanted. He made sure the the closing went smoothly and communicated clearly with us throughout the process He also had lots of great recommendations for home service professionals. Ali really demonstrates the value of having a buyer's agent. I... Show More

The first time I talked to Ali, I was suspicious and uncomfortable with his speed and efficiency. I had just started my home search, didn't know anything about the housing market, and he immediately transferred me to another agent in the East Bay (the transferring was protocol since I was initially looking in the East Bay). However, after I started getting used to the housing terminology and the process of buying a house, I was incredibly satisfied with working with Ali. His speed and efficiency led to a very smooth process and I learned to just trust Ali. You can question him and he will explain whatever you're interested in having explained, but for the most part he knows what he's doing. He has been in the industry for a long time and he's always looking out for you as a client. Ali... Show More

Ali worked with me for 10+ months helping me find the PERFECT new residence. He listened to my (hundreds of thousands) of needs/requirements and found the perfect condo for me! He was responsive 24/7 (working with a 3 hour time difference, and answering calls/emails while he was on vacation). Ali is a fantastic person who genuinely cares about his clients and is more than willing to go the extra (several) mile(s) to get the job done! Would not want to buy a property with anyone else -- hard stop.

Little over half a year ago, we were a couple, who had decided that it's time that we get our own place and were reluctant to let go of our San Francisco lifestyle. Armed with knowledge acquired from Internet research and many a war-stories, we braced ourselves for a relatively grueling year of house hunting. We are proud homeowners now, having bought a beautiful place in San Francisco, we cannot help but be amused at how much we enjoyed the whole process and how far off we were in our initial estimate. Curious, we decided to introspect and more we did, we realized our first decision was also the most important. As technologists, who believe in its promise, but all too aware of its constant failing; choosing Redfin, was a no-brainer, but we also had tempered expectations as a result of... Show More

Ali went above and beyond in every way possible. As a first time homebuyer, I constantly called and emailed him with questions throughout the process. I don't know how he got anything else done in his two months of working with me (or how he never got fed up with me), but Ali answered all of my questions, calmed my anxiety and made me feel like I was his number one priority. He also proactively provided advice - which was especially helpful since I often didn't know the right questions to ask - and always respected my opinions and decisions. In addition to helping me win an offer in one of the most competitive real estate markets in the country, Ali also recommended a local lender who gave me rates lower than my credit union, dealt with a difficult seller's agent and out-of-state seller...

Ali was diligent, hard working, and ultra responsive during our entire experience. He seamlessly guided us through our purchase with no issues. Even though we decided to switch our lender midstream, we remained on schedule for a quick 30 day close. Ali was always available by phone and able to arrange meetings in person very quicky. We highly recommend Ali for your SF real estate purchases!
