Client Reviews

⁕⁕⁕⁕⁕

 "Florian is absolutely fabulous! She walked us through the whole process step-by-step beforehand so there were no surprises. She was in constant contact and made finding our house a top priority. Once the right house was found she used her vast knowledge and experience to negotiate a great deal! We were worried we could never find an affordable house or could be competitive enough, but with Florian it was a "snap"! We love our home and feel like Florian is part of the family! We highly recommend Florian to all potential buyers or sellers! "

 "Florian Santos helped us like an angel. Our landlord was selling the house we had been renting for 22 years and Florian came through for us, realizing the stress and pressure that we felt. She found an affordable house for us before our deadline to move, gave us very helpful instructions about all the many items involved in the purchase of a home, negotiated a lowering of the price for us. and now, thanks to her, we live in a beautiful home. We would recommend her highly and we feel very grateful for all her help."

Hello. 

I'm Flo, short for Florian. I came to San Francisco with my Filipino parents nearly 60 years ago. I grew up in the city of San Francisco, and later made the leap to the East Bay, where I raised three daughters, mostly on my own. Now, married and a grandmother of eight, I am able to devote my time to what I love: helping others. 

I do this in two ways: 

One: As a mother, educator, entrepreneur, and Certified Strategic Life Coach, I share the resources I’ve developed with others so that their life’s challenges can be overcome. 

Two: As a Realtor, I bring an uncanny ability to tune in and listen for my clients’ real desires. My instinct for knowing what type of home will be the best “fit” guides me unerringly. Also, being artistic and highly visual, I love to help sellers prep and stage their homes inexpensively. 

I’ve had my real estate license since 1987. Since then, I’ve saved multiple homes from foreclosure, sometimes negotiating with banks up to the last day. And as a former loan processor, I understand in depth what’s involved in loan approval. 

Clients benefit; there are no surprises. That’s what makes for a smooth transaction and peace of mind. And should challenges arise, I remain unruffled. My clients can count on calm clarity throughout the process, whether buying or selling.

When I’m not house hunting or staging for a sale, you’ll find me drawing, or playing guitar. I enjoy great conversation, and dancing disco or Motown with my beloved. I look forward to hearing from you!

All the best,

Florian Santos
