Ruth Krishnan - San Francisco Real Estate

Ruth Krishnan and her team are the best! We worked with Valerie for our first home purchase in San Francisco. Valerie was extremely patient, listened to our needs, and thoroughly educated us about the home buying process. We were able to win on just our second offer! Valerie and Ruth's whole team are extremely connected in San Francisco in the real-estate community which was very beneficial during this hard market and as first-time buyers. We felt like we had a leg up with Valeria and trusted her throughout the whole process. She paid extensive attention to detail and took the time to sit down and walk us through every detail throughout the process. We would highly recommend Valerie and anyone from Ruth's team and hope to work with them again in the future! Thank you Valerie!!

We full so fortunate to have worked with the Krishnan team recently to sell our house in San Francisco. Yesenia in particular, but the whole team was so professional every step of the way. Their communication was always very clear, they were hyper responsive and their advice was spot on both in how to market the house and the timing of putting it up for sale. The quality of their contractors they engaged with - painters, stagers etc. was top notch. They made the process as easy and fun as you could hope for. Could not offer a stronger recommendation.

We had an incredible experience working with Lauren Neuschel and the Krishnan Team at Compass for our home purchase in San Francisco. From the very beginning, Lauren stood out with her highly data-driven approach. When we were evaluating our condo, she provided extensive, detailed data on comparable sales within the building, days on market averages, and the historical relationship between listing times and final sale prices. She always made sure the data supported our decisions, which gave us tremendous confidence in a complex market. ​Lauren is also incredibly patient and deeply informed. We had a lot of questions about the process, the property disclosures, and the HOA documents. She took the time to hop on calls and carefully walk us through every single page of the disclosure packets and contracts so we fully understood what we were signing. Even when we had moments of doubt and considered walking away from a property, she was completely supportive and never pressured us, prioritizing our comfort and long-term happiness above all else. ​Negotiation definitely wasn't our strong suit, but Lauren was an absolute lifesaver. She helped us craft a smart, competitive offer strategy, advising us on how to carefully structure our contingencies to make a lower offer much more appealing to the seller. Thanks to her expert guidance and on-the-ground intel, we successfully secured our home on our terms. ​We cannot recommend Lauren highly enough. If you want a realtor who is knowledgeable, endlessly patient, analytically sharp, and fiercely advocates for your best interests, she is the absolute best person to have in your corner!

Ruth Krishnan is incredibly professional and deeply knowledgeable about the San Francisco real estate market. From market insights to offer strategy and everything in between, we felt confident and well supported from day one. Choosing Ruth and the Krishnan team to help us find our home was one of the best decisions we made. This wasn’t our first time buying in the Bay Area, but Ruth brought a level of structure and insight we hadn’t experienced before. One standout was the “past sold” exercise she guided us through. It helped us clearly define what a true 10/10 home looks like for us, where we’re willing to compromise, and how realistic our expectations were within our timeline. It was thoughtful, practical, and genuinely useful in shaping our search. Throughout the process, Ruth’s experience really showed. She had a sharp sense of pricing strategy, knew when a home was intentionally under or overpriced, and guided us on exactly how to position our offer. We always felt taken care of. When we wanted to see a home quickly, she made herself available, even rearranging her schedule, and when she couldn’t make it, Madeline stepped in seamlessly. She also gave us access to off market opportunities, which was a huge advantage, and we ended up purchasing one of them. Communication was smooth and consistent. Ruth was always responsive and clear over email and text. Her attention to detail is exceptional. When we received disclosures and inspection reports, Ruth organized everything into a clear, easy to follow summary table and highlighted the key points. She also created a detailed property Q&A document for the listing agent and seller, which helped us stay organized and make sure we covered all the right questions. She took the time to walk us through everything and made sure we felt comfortable at every step. Her team was just as strong. They were quick, organized, and easy to work with. When we needed to schedule a tank inspection, they handled it right away and kept communication clear throughout. What we appreciated most was Ruth’s honesty. She is straightforward, gives real advice, and isn’t afraid to say what needs to be said, even if it’s not what you want to hear. That level of trust is rare. When we arrived at our new home for the first time, her team had left cleaning supplies, a gift, and a welcome mat. It was such a thoughtful touch and a great way to start this next chapter. In the end, we only had to write one offer and it was accepted, which says a lot. If you’re looking for a top real estate agent in San Francisco, I highly recommend Ruth and her team.

Lauren and the entire Krishnan team are the best. At initiation, they provide well-packaged information, including scene-setter videos for first-time buyers in San Francisco. Lauren walked us through every milestone and stayed engaged right through to post-CoE, demonstrating integrity and empathy throughout. The past sold exercise helped us establish clear criteria early. We worked in tandem in the evenings and over weekends to choose which properties to see, which to eliminate, what to aim for, ultimately landing a positive offer without considerable effort. The extra touches felt special: a gift bag of moving-in essentials at key handover, recommendations for painting and flooring ahead of move-in, and takeout delivery on the move-in day. Thank you, Lauren and team!
