Joey Hersh – Zephyr Real Estate

I looked for a house in San Francisco for 7 months with Joey. He showed me some great homes but unfortunately the prices were steadily increasing as I looked. When I came to the conclusion that I might have to start looking in Oakland, Joey passed me off to a colleague who was more familiar with Oakland neighborhoods. 4 months later I was the owner of a house in West Oakland and all through that process Joey was checking in with me to make sure I was being take care of (I was).
It was nothing but a pleasure to work with Joey. Both thumbs up!

Joey was a key player in making my husband and I lots of money! We sold our San Francisco condo this summer and Joey was there to assist us through the process. He has a great eye for detail and understands how the business works. If you want someone who is really personable and knowledgeable, Joey’s your man!

I first met Joey when he was showing a place in Soma back in the summer of 2013. He was extremely professional, friendly, and knowledgeable and within just a few minutes I knew I wanted to work with him as my own broker. Joey quickly got to know me, my preferences, and what type of place I was looking for — within days he was already off to the races in finding me my perfect home. Just a short few weeks later, Joey showed me the place I now live in – he literally found me my dream soma loft. It was the first offer I actually put in, and when he called me to say I got the bid, I was shocked! It turns out he found a way to connect with the seller’s broker and developed a relationship with the seller’s side to give me a leg up. Joey was with me through every step in the process and made my first home buying experience awesome.
Joey still checks up on me regularly to see if everything is going well with my place, and to see if I need anything that he can help with — if that’s not excellent customer service, I don’t know what is! I would recommend Joey to any of my friends — in fact I have and he already got one of my best friends her place as well.

I can not recommend Joey enough! He was so helpful in my first home shopping purchase, in fact, I learned so much from him that one time at an open house they thought I was the realtor by all the professional questions being asked. If you are in the market for a realtor who will listen to your needs and take their time to find the right place he is the person for you!

My husband and I worked with Joey twice recently, first to sell our condo at the Radiance and then to purchase our new home in the city. We were in absentia for both transactions and Joey was indispensable! He was incredibly helpful getting the condo through to sold, including ferrying our castoffs to the local goodwill and supervising the fix of a potentially disastrous leak from the unit upstairs midway through escrow! During the hunt for a new home he spent an entire afternoon driving us to look at house after house after house, telling us about the neighborhoods along the way. During the purchase process Joey scheduled inspections, kept us informed and constantly up-​to-​date regarding all the inspections and helped negotiate the required fixes. I would work with Joey again anytime, and highly recommend him if you are looking to buy or sell a property.

I had the privilege of working with Joey last fall for a home purchase. He provided me great insight into the properties in the area and was very willing to provide support, answer questions, find and get me into properties even before they were listed. My questions were all over the place but he never balked and either had or found the answers I needed. After looking at a multitude of properties in a short period, I found my perfect place. My first! bid, competing against another 7, was successful, which speaks alot to his role in helping me with sizing the market and establishing the price. But I believe his relationships in the market, especially with other realtors really helped in me winning that bid because he could tap insider information that I would never have known. He’s also just a genuinely nice and entertaining guy that made the experience that much more pleasurable.
