• #23 Wall Street Journal's "Top 100" (by sales volume) - 2010 |
|
Nina Hatvany has consistently been TRI Coldwell Banker's #1 or #2 top producing agent for 20 years. TRI/Coldwell Banker is by far the highest producing office in San Francisco, especially at the high end. In the year 2010, Nina was once again San Francisco's top individual residential agent with over $100 million in sales. She was also named by the Wall Street Journal as the #23 agent in the United States, based on sales volume, and she was #9 in 2009. She represents both buyers and sellers of luxury homes, condominiums and apartment buildings. Naturally, she is among the top 10 of Coldwell Banker,s agents in California. Nina is single-minded in her pursuit of her clients' desires, whether to sell at the best possible price or to buy the perfect property. She makes it her business to get her clients what they want. Her interest in real estate sales stems from her 30 years in real estate development, building townhouses in Palo Alto, refurbishing several Bay Area apartment buildings and, most particularly, restoring and rehabilitating several homes in San Francisco herself. Along the way she acquired a contractor's license. Before her extremely successful real estate career, Nina was a Professor at the Graduate School of Business at Columbia University and later the Graduate School of Business at Berkeley, California. She holds a M.A. and Ph.D. from Stanford in Psychology and is widely recognized as one of the best-trained negotiators in the business. Nina has resided in San Francisco for thirty years with her husband. They have three adult children who have had the wonderful experience of being raised in the City. Nina is active in the community and is a former board member of both Big Brothers and Sisters of the Bay Area and Women's Forum West, and is a current board member of Larkin Street Youth, which provides services and shelter to homeless teens. |

"Your determination and skill, expertise and candor are great gifts for which we are very grateful. Thank you again. " | |||
"Truly, I have no proper words to thank both of you for an incredible job. I am not naive about what a difficult and arduous deal this was, and I am 100% certain that no other agents could have handled it with such aplomb and grace. Your expertise, professionalism, and patience were exceptional, and I learned so much from you in the process! Especially being so far away, I can't being to express my gratitude and how much I appreciate all that you did for me. " | |||
"Thanks Nina and Natalie! Nice and clean transaction." | |||
"Nina and Natalie, | |||
"Nina, Natalie and Courtney did wonderful work for us on our purchase and our sale. We are so glad we chose Nina and would work with her again in a heartbeat. Beyond the obvious benefits of her extensive experience, what we appreciated most about working with Nina was the quality of her communication and advice. Conversations were effective and efficient and we always felt that we were connecting with her on all the issues. She listened to us well, and always had solid reasoning for her points of view. For example, when choosing stagers, she brought in two great options and to help make the decision she looked at selling price vs. listing price of past sales to see if one stager was yielding better results than the other. Because she was involved in so many transactions in the area (Pacific Heights) she had our full confidence that she was choosing the right offer price for our property at that moment." | |||
"You gals did an amazing job. Thank you!" | |||
"Thanks so much. As I said to Nina on the phone last night, it has been an absolute pleasure working with you. You probably don't need more but we will be a great reference." | |||
"Hi Nina, | |||
"Many thanks. Couldn't have done it without you! Really appreciate all the hard work of Team Hatvany. | |||
"We were looking for the right real estate agent and happened upon Nina's sign a couple of blocks from our house. She came over mere days before Natalie's wedding, and we knew she would be great for us. She sold our home in what a friend called 'a minute and a half', and found our new condo.
| |||
"Nina, | |||
"Thank you Nina! | |||
" We were dreading the idea of selling our Pacific Heights home! The market was slow and, although gorgeous, our home was complicated due to its co-op structure. Additionally, we are demanding clients with busy lives. If the real estate world offered a Nobel prize, Nina Hatvany and her team undoubtedly deserve it! Nina and her team handled the staging of our home, created a multi-faceted strategy campaign for selling our property, and designed a fully integrated end-to-end marketing campaign with which to execute this strategy. In parallel, Nina began working her deep network of contacts to personally locate qualified buyers. As a result, through Nina's experience and heroic efforts, we received a list price, all cash offer the first day we were on the market! We completely closed the transaction, including all co-op approvals, in less than three weeks. Nina's entire team was wonderfully professional, exceptionally competent, continually responsive. Their service model is exceptionally well-designed and works efficiently and seamlessly. Nina is the top agent in San Francisco for a reason: she is a consummate expert in every aspect of the business. We cannot recommend her highly enough!
" | |||
"You have made your fee and more. You'll have an easier sale with us the next time. And a lot of referrals from us in the interim I hope.
" | |||
"Thanks very much for all your help! Our friends told us often as we explained the ups and downs of the deal that we were very lucky to have an agent we could trust. Indeed we were. Now, anyone want to come over and help paint?
" | |||
"Dear Nina, Natalie and Courtney, | |||
"You guys have done such incredible work for us and we're so grateful. It's been a challenging 58 days, but here we are... and we're thrilled." | |||
"I know we're not quite finished, but we wanted to say thank you for all your help in buying our first home! I know it wasn't easy, and there were lots of ups and downs, but you were all awesome. We really appreciate it!! You'll have to stop by for a drink once we're settled in." | |||
"I think we had a very successful partnership throughout this crazy transaction, and we really appreciate you and your team's local knowledge, and efficient flow of information. One of my early concerns when we chose you to co-list with us, was whether we would be able to easily reach you when needed. You have been outstanding in your timely response by phone and email to all of our concerns." | |||
"Many thanks, once again, for guiding me through to another closing! Best wishes to you, Natalie and the rest of your crew, for a happy and healthy holiday and new year! | |||
Dear Nina, "We are deeply appreciative of all the effort you and your team put in to help us sell 2121 B'way. Your is TRULY high class service. Thank you." | |||

loved working with you. | |||
Nina and Natalie, "Thank you for all of your help on this house purchase. We really appreciate all of your advice, information, referrals and fun sense of humor. Hope to keep in touch. | |||

We are confident that we ended up in the house that is perfect for us. Nina, thank you for being patient with us during our long search and for always guiding us in the right direction. | |||
Dear Nina " Inger and I would like to thank you for the exceptional work which you did recently in representing us on the sale of our Cow Hollow Home. We had tried to sell the house a few years earlier with a different agent and that process had been unsuccessful, so this was no "slam dunk" assignment. The first decision we made was about which stagers to use. You found us exceptional stagers who actually cost less than what we had paid the previous time, and who also delivered a much better outcome. With the staging behind us, we took your advice about how to price the property and about how to negotiate, and the house was on and off the market in much less time than we initially expected. Your attention to detail and availability at all hours enabled us to get the transaction finalized very quickly. | |||
" You are doing such an excellent job.. and we could not be happier to have you as our agent. Your updates, outlook, strategy style and encouragement are unsurpassable. We feel very lucky. " Casey F. | |||
"Thank you...for your brilliance in handling this sale. It's clear that your track record of success is based on not just intelligence but sensitivity and common sense." Lily C. |
|||
Ladies, "Thank you for helping us sell this property and for making it such a smooth process. It's a bit hard to believe that it went so easy. I know you worked hard behind the scenes to ensure that there were no hiccups. Thank you!. |
|||
" I would be happy to be used as reference any time. I can't say enough about Nina's goal oriented sales program. The marketing was top notch and the follow up was immediate. Both she and Natalie surpassed our expectations." Raul S. |
|||
Nina and Natalie, " And thank you for your perseverance, support, advice, and staying by our side. What a journey this has been for us." Leslie |
|||
" I truly appreciate your expertise, your?exceptional team work and attention to every detail. My heartfelt thanks." Marilyn |
|||
" Once again, as we said at the closing, thank you for your creative, persistent, and straight-ahead professionalism during the marketing and transaction of our house.
All the best, " |
|||
" We sincerely appreciate all of your guidance, advice, help and honesty throughout this process. You are an absolute pleasure to work with. Cheers," |
|||

|
|||

|||
"Thank you both so much for your help with this all. It was a pleasure working with you both again as usual. I'm extremely happy with the outcome. All the Best," |
|||
Nina, "Let me just say how happy I am with the level of service you provided during the purchase of 2832 Union Street. As a veteran of many real estate transactions as both buyer and seller, I can say that you provided the best service I've experienced from an agent and you truly fulfilled your role as a strong advocate for us during what turned out to be a somewhat complicated transaction. Best," | |||
"Amy and I are so excited about our new home. Thanks so much for all of the hard work. Our experience with you was truly fantastic. Balancing buying a home with planning a wedding is a bit like a high wire act and I'm certain that your efforts helped us be successful on both fronts. We look forward to working together when we're ready for the next move." John J. |
|||
"Dear Nina Thank you! All the best" |
|||
"Thank you both so much for your help! I really appreciated having an amazing team on my side that I could count on for sound advice and assistance. You're both wonderful, and I hope to work with you again in the future. Best," |
|||
"Thank you so much for the champagne. We will drink some tonight to celebrate! And thank you so much for all of your help both transactions. We are so happy to be in the new house, and to have sold the old one so quickly and smoothly. The purchase here on 6th was a challenge for all of us, and we appreciate you helping us through that nightmare. Thank goodness it is done! With appreciation," |
|||
Nina, "It turns out that there are few things more anticlimactic than the purchase of a home with a 30-day rentback. We are homeowners without a home! And so it only belatedly occurred to me that your job is done, and that I had never properly thanked you for the fine job you did for us. I do want you to know how much we appreciated your wisdom, your savvy, and especially your patience throughout this process. Having heard many a horror story from friends who had offer after offer rejected, we recognize how fortunate we are to be one-for-one in this game. And, all things considered, it was a very easy process. Thank you for everything. I anticipate that our
paths will one day cross again; in the meantime, we'll send our friends your
way." |
|||
"THANKS SO MUCH Nina for all your incredible professional assistance and, importantly, friendship!!! Warmly," |
|||
"Amy and I would just like to say thank you for your help and advice over the last few months. It has been a rollercoaster experience, but it has been much easier for having your guidance. We are really very happy to have found such a nice place and made it in successfully. Sincerely, thank you" |
|||
"We're still spoiled by the new house. Happy as kittens here. Thank you again for taking great care of everything, top to bottom, with us this year. We've worked with many agents over many states and moves these past several years. You've the best of them all, and that's saying a lot. If ever we have people we can put in touch with you, they're coming your way. If we can ever praise you to potential clients or coworkers, we'll gladly do so. Take care & Happy New Year," |
|||
"Josh and I wanted to formally thank you for all of your help and guidance in listing our home recently. While the end result was not what we had hoped due to market factors, we feel that we could not have been in better hands throughout the listing process. We are still quite amazed at how quickly and efficiently you were able to coordinate so many vendors to prepare our house for sale in a short timeframe, and we had total confidence that everything would run smoothly while we were out of the country back in October. We appreciated your immediate and honest feedback following the open houses, and had the utmost faith in and regard for your recommendations during the sale negotiations and opening of escrow. Your reputation certainly precedes you, and we now understand why. We will not hesitate to recommend you to our friends in the city, and when market conditions improve and we decide to list our house again, we hope that you will be open to working with us. Your professionalism, candor & insight are truly unrivaled. We wish you both a very happy holiday season and a wonderful new year, and look forward to working with you again in the future. Many thanks. Best regards," |
|||
Dear Nina, "Lizzie and I want to thank you for orchestrating the sale of our home this past August. The transaction could not have gone more smoothly thanks to your expertise. As you remember, our house sold over asking price in about nine days despite deteriorating market conditions. You have not only a great feel for market timing and pricing but also the ability to bring in on short notice all the other resources needed to get a home ready for showing. These include painters, stagers and packers. We were duly impressed by the quality and professionalism of your network of providers. The fact that you were able to prep, stage, show and sell our house while we were on vacation was fabulous and made things much easier for our family. Lastly, it was a good feeling having you on our team during the negotiation process. Your skill and experience were obvious and invaluable. Overall, it was a job well done and we can not thank you enough. Have a wonderful holiday and all the best for the new year. |
|||
"I am glad that I could find an incredibly great agent like you. |
|||
"…. we were glad to sell our home to such a warm and appreciative young couple. Makes us feel good to transfer our treasure over to them. From what I continue to read, we were very lucky to have made the sale and our thanks to you both We wish you all the best in the future. |
|||
Dear Nina, "Just a note of thanks for our wonderful home! You really made a happy home here on Vallejo and we have so benefited from all your hard work on the renovation of this house. We just can't express enough how happy we are each summer when we come to live here for 3 months. And it really is thanks to your vision for this home & your gracious nature. You really thought of every aspect of living when you designed the flow of this house and it is just perfect for our family so we thank you! Also you were delightful to deal with for the sale & move in you made everything so easy for our family. And we so appreciated your many calls of support over the first year when we initially moved into our home. You are a great Professional. If we can ever be a reference of any kind please know we would love to sing your praises. We think of you often and hope you are busy making more beautiful homes in Pacific Heights ... Thanks again & give our best to your husband & kids hope your summer is full of fond memories. Thanks Again... & Best personal regards

|||
Nina, "We really appreciate your help in
this closing process, you've really helped educate us through the
scariest financial decision we've ever made. We can't wait to be
enjoying this house, thanks to your help!" |

Nina and your assistant, All our best, " |
|||
"Thank you so much for your continued patience and perseverance with us – we realize that our home search has been quite laborious! You have been so fabulous to work with and have always understood our changing wants and needs. Your honesty and commitment to us is sincerely appreciated and it has been a pleasure to get to know you better throughout our 3 year home search! We are very excited to move in tour first “family home” and look forward to making it our own. Thank you – for all of your efforts." |
|||
"You are the best!!!!!!
Imagine. You have now been successful in getting homes for not
just one family member, not two, but three!!! Thank you, thank
you, thank you. |
|||
"Thank you for insight and foresight!" |
|||
"It is indeed cause for celebration,
and I want to thank you for helping us achieve what we thought
was the impossible. Without you we would have never had a chance
to call 2872 Pine our beautiful home. I can't thank you enough." |
|||
"Great work all. We're very excited
and sincerely appreciate the dedication and professionalism of
your team." |
|||
"As first time home buyers, this has
been a tremendous learning experience for us and appreciate all
the time and expertise you have provided us with. Look
forward to a continued and long relationship. |
|||
"You were invaluable in getting this
done, and we'll be glowing references for you just as so many
of your clients were when we were asking around about brokers.
Have anyone call us anytime and we will rave about our wonderful
experience with you. |
|||
"Thanks for everything on this. You have
been the most wonderful agent that any buyer could imagine. Please
thank your support team for Gordon and me as well. Everyone has
been exceptional." |
|||
"...and many, many thanks for another wonderfully
smooth transaction. Our only disappointment being that you were
not our realtor for the Los Angeles purchase! |
|||
"Now that we have officially closed on
the sale of 1655 Chestnut, we just wanted to thank you both for
all of your efforts during the buying and selling process. Steve
and I could not have been happier with the services you provided,
which went above and beyond what we expected. You were both always
courteous, professional and prompt in dealing with issues that
arose, even when we, the other party or other individuals involved
in the process were being less than cooperative. You made our lives
much easier during this relatively stressful time and we appreciate
that very much. Please let us know if you ever need a reference
or recommendation. We would be more than happy to help out. Best
regards" |
|||
"What a great result! Thank you for all
that you did to have it go so well. We really appreciate it. |
|||
"Thank you so much for a fantastic job
on this deal I hope to continue working with you in the future,
and thank you for your expert advice, counseling throughout this
process... I have really appreciated that I feel that you have
always had my best interests in mind in all situations." |
|||
"...and thanks Nina for all of your efforts. I’m guessing it wasn’t
the easiest purchase you’ve ever done nor shortest in the
making (6 years?) but we’re thankful you didn’t jump
ship along the way although I’m sure we tempted you." |
|||
"Hope the market is heating back up, but judging by where pricing is coming in these days, it does appear pricing seems to be softening (all the more impressive in how well 581 Eureka did with your feel for the market, marketing skills and great timing). THANKS from both Kirsten and myself. Best of
luck, and we definitely plan to recommend you to our friends. |
|||
"Thanks to both of you for your responsiveness
throughout this process. You made it so easy!" |
|||
"Thank you for your help on this sale.
I certainly appreciate your professionalism, candor and positive
spirit!" |
|||
"I will be happy to give you a good reference
any time. Have anyone call!" |

in more ways than one and we're glad to have had you on board." |
|||
"Thank you, Nina, for doing such a fine
job with the sale of Mason. You are a terrific realtor and most
effective negotiator. |
|||
"We can't thank you enough for all of your
advice and help in getting us this home. You've been absolutely
terrific and thoughtful throughout this entire process and we've
really valued your input and advice. We're thrilled to have closed
and we'll be even more thrilled when we move in! |
|||
"Thanks for everything Nina. Your flair,
skill, expertise and patience with my recuperation. Can I pick
'em?" |
|||
"Happy New Year! We
wanted to finally take the time to thank your for leading us
through our home search. At times we thought we'd never find
a home to suit us, but your knowledge and patience really helped.
We love our new home and have enjoyed working with you." |
|||
"Nina, you were the
Pollak family's "woman of the year" for doing such
a great job for us. Thanks again!" |
|||
"Thank you so much
for helping me purchase my first home! It was an absolute pleasure
being able to work with you over the past couple of months and
I certainly feel very fortunate to have had your assistance.
My lawyer and my accountant were equally impressed with your
hard work and consummate professionalism. Your expertise made
the entire process worthwhile." |
|||
"Most importantly thank you for
a quick and successful transaction! I will be happy to mention
the fine job the "Dream Team" did for us. |
|||
"Thank you so much for your help
through the whole sales process. We were incredibly well looked
after. I can't say enough wonderful things about you both personally
and professionally. It has been our absolute pleasure to have
the chance to work with you. Hopefully, if we ever move back
to the city, you'd be the first call that we'd make! " |
|||
"...and on Nina, she's the best
we've ever had. (And as you know we've had a lot, this is house
#11). She is a professional, and has a very keen sense of urgency
that both Roger and I appreciate. I just can't thank you and
especially your wife for giving us her name. As you know, moving
can be stressful and Nina made this part of it a true pleasure." |
|||
"Dear
Nina, |
|||
"Thank you so much for astonishing results
in the sale of our home. We are ecstatic!" |

"I would like to thank you for making
my first home buying experience a great one. Your patience, diligence,
candidness and personality made it much easier for me. It was a
pleasure for me to work with you, to be sure, I consider it my
privilege to have worked with you." |
|||
"May I tell you how wonderful it was having
you as our agent? You were so efficient, on top of everything,
patient and witty besides. You made the whole "scary" episode
an exciting adventure!" |
|||
"We now have a roof over our heads. You
are truly extraordinary. Many, many thanks." |
|||
"Thank you for all the work you put into
our project. I know it was not an easy one to pull off, but you
managed it. At times is seemed to be a bit of a nightmare. Now,
looking back on it, it seems to have been a success, in no small
part because of your efforts. It was a pleasure working with you." |
|||
"Rick and I want to sincerely thank you
for doing such a marvelous job selling our condominium. As usual,
we feel enormous confidence in you as you guided our nervous buyer
so expertly and with your typical flair." |
|||
"I interviewed four realtors and ultimately,
Nina was my pick. It was probably the best decision I made in the
process of purchasing a home. Throughout my working relationship
I always felt that my best interest was her highest priority. She
was always accessible, prompt and maintained a consistent line
of communication. I will strongly recommend her to any of my friends
who may be in the market to purchase a home." |
|||
"Nina thank you for all your help with
our new house. You are an Ace!" |
|||
"Thank you for your patience and persistence." |
|||
"Dear Nina, It has been a pleasure working
with you. Thank you so much for making our first home buying
experience such a wonderful one!" |
|||
"I'm sure that you are fully aware of this...YOUR ASSISTANT IS FANTASTIC. I have built a custom-designed home with awesome architects, and I have overseen several laboratory renovations...... and in my experience, I would say that, as a project manager, your assistant is incredible!! She handed things beautifully and gave me shoulder to cry on during the process. I look forward to our continued adventure in selling this one and buying another. Thanks," |
|||
"THANK YOU! You have been very patient with us first timers, and we are thrilled about the house. We are so grateful to you for your sound advice and help every step of this process. We will raise a glass of champagne to both of
you tonight!"
