They advised us on how to stage our house at the beginning. The advice they gave us helped us price the house and get what we wanted. They kept us on schedule and closed the deal quickly for a great price. They were always responsive when we needed answers and a joy to work with. We are so happy we chose them. We would use them again in a nanosecond! Thanks again!! **★★★★★ — Justin Chen, June 2017** > I couldn't have asked for a better agent to have on my side. Steven has a lot of experience in the area, and I always felt like he had my best interests in mind. I was extremely grateful that Steven made the entire process less stressful than it should've been (based on my previous real estate transactions), offered incredible insight and transparency through everything, and ultimately made sure I found a place that was best suited to my needs. He was always easy to contact, always professional, and in the end, made sure I was well taken care of. **★★★★★ — Jacob West, Dec. 2016** > Dan and Steven couldn’t have taken better care of us! As first-time home buyers with very specific requirements, the guys helped us understand what tradeoffs made sense for us and made sure we were always able to act as well-informed buyers. They stood by us as we shopped for the right property and worked closely with us during every step of the purchasing process. We recommend Dan and Steven 100%! **★★★★★ — Kain Qiu, Dec. 2016** > Steven and Dan are really great agents! They helped me in the whole process from finding a house to purchasing it, even after I purchased the property, they are also very patient and responsible on answering any questions I have. > They explained all the details to me before I purchased, and are very knowledgable in their fields. They also provide great suggestions with regard to other house related services, like insurance, repairing company and etc. > > I highly recommend working with them if you want to buy a decent property in San Francisco. **★★★★★ — Tim Cherna, Aug. 2015** > Dan and Steven helped me find the perfect home in Mission Dolores. I had my eye on moving for about a year and got serious near the end of 2014. My criteria was really tight and Dan and Steven gave lots of leads and help as we waded through the inventory to find the right place on the second offer we made. I highly recommend them. **★★★★★ — User, July 2015** > Buying a house anywhere is intimidating. Add in being a first time homebuyer plus the crazy insane San Francisco real estate market, we needed a ton of help. Dan & Steven took care of us and quickly brought us up to speed on how to navigate this market. > > They were always available to answer questions, find more information about properties we were interested in, and guide us through placing offers & negotiations. They also have a deep bench of fantastic bankers, contractors, and inspectors that helped us get through closing. Dan & Steven are the most professional, kind, and proactive agents in the city. > > A massive thank you for their expert guidance. We highly recommend contacting Dan & Steven. They're the best!! **★★★★★ — kathleen\_ting, Dec. 2014** > Dan Risman Jones knows the San Francisco housing market well - accurately advising us on what price points would make a winning offer, a strong offer, and a competitive offer. > > We made our first bid at Dan's recommended competitive offer price and it tied the other highest bid. We got the first house we put an offer on with our first bid! One shot, one kill. > > Before moving in, we needed contractor recommendations to get the floors refinished and a woodboring beetle infestation checked out. In both cases, we used contractors recommended by Dan and and are quite happy with the quality and cost of the work done. **★★★★★ — ozkanboyar, Dec. 2014** > Dan is a great person in terms of understanding the needs of the customer. He totally makes a good match. > > He is very communicative, friendly and respectful. He does his best at every stage (house visits, closing period, moving period). **★★★★★ — mhesher, Dec. 2014** > We were looking for a house in San Francisco while living in New York. We stopped at a real estate office and met Dan. What a stroke of luck! Dan quickly understood what we were looking for and called us each time something appropriate came to market. He would then give us a Face Time tour. Dan found our house before construction was completed and before it had gone to market. He walked us through every step of the bidding process and gave us great insight into comps, market trends, what other bidders might be considering, etc. Once the offer was accepted, Dan visited the property at least once a week to give us live views of the construction progress, offer suggestions on changes, and answer any questions we had. > > Dan was there through the whole process and to this day, we still go to him when we have questions about repairs or projects in our new house. He has really gone over and above in every respect. I would definitely recommend him for anyone seeking a property; he's fantastic. **★★★★★ — Solomon Cordwell Buenz (SCB), Dec. 2014** > Looking for a new place to live for the first time is a terribly difficult and daunting process. When my partner and I started the search we turned to Dan to help us look at properties. he first took time to show us a range of options in various parts of the city and he helped us to understand the merits and detractions of various properties and neighborhoods. Dan ALWAYS painted a balances and realistic picture of each place we looked at. > > What we especially appreciated was work Dan did to show us places that were just about to hit the market, or that were only being shown privately. He kept a head for what we could afford to purchase and searched diligently. Dan kept a keen eye for the type of house we were looking for, AND was always on the watch for opportunities in our preferred neighborhoods, which we previously has ruled out as too expensive. > > His hard work paid off and we are in the process of moving into a home that will allow our family to grow AND keeps us conveniently located to all of the things we love. > > I highly recommend Dan - you could not find a better agent. **★★★★★ — jlam2912, Oct. 2014** > I've known Dan for many years on a personal basis (I'm friends with his sister), but got to know him professionally when he helped me and my husband to purchase our home in San Francisco. I am normally hesitant to mix business with personal, however Dan has shown me that it is possible that you can combine both. Dan is really great to work with and very helpful. He took us around when it wasn't even clear if we were ready to buy. We did find a house that fits our needs and Dan made sure the process went smoothly every step of the way. > I highly recommend Dan would definitely use him again for our next purchase. **★★★★★ — kellipiet, Aug. 2014** > Dan was absolutely great to work with during all phases of our home purchase. Dan knows the market in SF really well and worked with us closely every step of the way. Dan showed us ~20 houses and was really patient throughout the entire process. We also felt that he had a really good gauge on pricing - i.e. what was overpriced vs. a good deal and what threshold an offer needed to be in order to be accepted. We ended up buying a multi-family unit building and Dan was also incredibly helpful providing us information about being a landlord in SF. We have kept in touch with him since buying our home two years ago and he continued to give us great advice about home improvements, refinancing, property taxes, and more. We would absolutely recommend Dan to anyone looking to buy in SF. ## Selected projects - [1160 Mission St \#1508](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/1160-mission-st-1508-pj-vj~1538655) - Location: San Francisco, CA - Photos: 32 - [75 Sierra St](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/75-sierra-st-pj-vj~263430) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 21 - [90 Sanchez St](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/90-sanchez-st-pj-vj~263367) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 19 - [2001 McAllister St \#222](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/2001-mcallister-st-222-pj-vj~263360) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 [See all 4 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/real-estate-agents/dan-risman-jones-pfvwus-pf~1006893405) ## Ideabooks - [Living Room](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/23471965/list/living-room) — 2 ideas - [Bathrooms](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/3827290/list/bathrooms) — 21 ideas - [Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/3827362/list/kitchen) — 54 ideas - [Staircase](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/23472451/list/staircase) — 7 ideas - [Dining Room](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/23472302/list/dining-room) — 5 ideas - [Bedroom](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/13216837/list/bedroom) — 8 ideas [See all 6 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/ascendrealestate) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
