We had a beautiful home but wanted a place that was a little more spacious and conveniently located. Omar was showing another unit in our building and we appreciated his openness and warmth. When we decided to take a shot at making our move, we reached out to him and we couldn’t be happier with how the process went. We had high expectations, tight financial constraints and, before we were done, a raging pandemic to navigate. He walked us through the process, knew how to structure the transactions in ways we wouldn’t have thought of, and tirelessly managed both our sale and purchase with our interests in mind while making it all go much smoother than we’d have imagined. We’re very happy with the outcome. If you’re looking for a someone you can trust and that you can be comfortable having represent you, he is your guy.

We listed our apartment for sale with Omar Maissen and Ryan Fay. They met us at the home and were completely prepared with suggested pricing as well as a detailed market assessment. We were quite impressed with their presentation. Both Ryan and Omar were always available to address questions or concerns with us. It was also comforting knowing that they were in our place for the showings and broker opens. We could not have been happier with our experience.

We bought our new home with Omar's help. He found a perfect listing that matched every our expectation - location, budget, size and extra features. I felt very comfortable communicating with Omar while discussing our needs or asking questions about the process of buying property as a first time home owner. He was always on time, never too late to respond, extremely professional, he offered us some really helpful insights, and just really made us feel confident about our decision.

Omar was a joy to work with. His responsiveness made the process smooth and arguably, the quickest way to get through a 7 day escrow! Without fail, he answered every single one of my many calls on the first or second ring. This helped the negotiation process move along at a rapid pace and ease the nerves as emotions were running high. Omar kept his cool and remained professional, this was noticeable and appreciated. We would recommend Omar!

I would recommend Omar to ANYONE. He was truly fantastic. We were buying from out of state and were nervous about navigating the process of buying in SF. However, with Omar as our agent, everything was so easy and successful. He was really flexible and always available for tours whenever we happened to be in the city. When we decided to buy, he fought for our interests and made sure we got a good deal. He’s really knowledgeable about the market and refused to let us accept a bad price. Overall, I found him genial, transparent, accessible, and dedicated to helping us. I hope that when we eventually move out of this place he is still working and can be our agent again.
