Lorraine Meier – Zephyr Real Estate

My wife and I recently signed Lorraine Meier to represent us as a buyers broker in our search for a house in SF. She was extremely helpful and generous with her time, looking at houses with us, providing opinions, and putting us in touch with some really helpful professionals to assist when a particular question was outside her area of expertise. When we ran into difficulties with our first mortgage broker she provided us with a referral to the excellent Kenny Heller at Wells Fargo who made a huge difference. He and Lorraine worked together as a team and made everything much easier for us.
We ended up making a successful offer on a single family home in the Outer Sunset, and the sellers noted how organized and well put together the offer package was. Lorraine did a fantastic job communicating with the sellers. Once our offer was accepted she continued to stay involved and was there for us at every stage of the process as we signed the dozens of necessary forms.
Thank you Lorraine for all your support and help!

when the time came to sell our condo and buy a SFR our choice for a realtor was an easy one… lorraine has everything someone would want in a realtor and more.
she is incredibly knowledgable with the real estate market in sf. she has a lot of experience in both the buying and selling markets.
without a doubt, lorraine has her client’s best interest at heart. she was incredibly attentive and mindful to our needs, preferences and requests. in the selling of our condo she found us a great buyer on the very first open house, for a significant amount over asking. she also helped us negotiate a reasonable price for the home we bought which likely could have gone for quite a bit more.
lorraine made sure the business side of everything was smooth and clear and as straightforward as could be which was very comforting given how unfamiliar we were to the process.
to top it off, lorraine is fun, warm, engaging and personable and makes looking for houses feel enjoyable even when you’ve looked at more than you can count!
i highly recommend lorraine.

Wow!
My landlord was trying to kick me out of my apartment, I winded up beginning a very reluctant house/​condo search in SF. In the process, I randomly met Lorraine at an open house, I told her about my situation, she handed me her business card and the following day we had our first meeting. I was very impressed by the depth of her bay area real estate knowledge. When it came to educating me about what I needed to do as a first time homeowner, she did not hesitate to telling what I needed to know or sending me informative documents. She pretty much gave me all the possible scenarios based on my financial situation.
Once I got all pre-​approved and pre-​qualified from the bank, Lorraine already had a list of places she wanted me to see. During the process, she was constantly communicating with me about every details of the buying process. Once one of our offers got accepted in SF, Lorraine was once again on top of things. She was constantly communicating with the seller to make sure they fix all the issues raised after the inspection. During this process Lorraine was an excellent adviser as to what steps I needed to take. What blew my mind the most, was her extreme attention to detail and how well she is organized.
It was a pleasure working with Lorraine and I cannot recommend her enough to anyone who wants to buy a property in California. This woman knows her stuff!
She is very assertive, very meticulous and also a great communicator.
She treated me in very protective fashion, always making sure that I was happy.
Folks, don’t waste your time just give her a call, she’ll have your back!

My husband and I met Lorraine while she was diligently selling a home near our Ingleside rental.
Unlike other realtors, who wouldn’t give us the time of day once I mentioned I was a USMC Veteran looking to use my housing benefits to purchase a home for the first time in San Francisco, Lorraine didn’t hesitate to take us on as clients.
Lorraine is assertive and direct. She ensured that I was able to use my Veteran’s benefits even when the sellers of the property tried to steer us into the hands of a traditional lending option.
Lorraine is patient and persevering. She worked with my husband and I for 6, seemingly long months while we navigated through the oodles of government paperwork to finally purchase our new home.
We’re grateful to Lorraine for taking the time, effort and having the wherewithal to be our advocate and friend while still maintaining a professional relationship with us.
Keep up the great work, Lorraine! We appreciate you.

All positive. Lorraine is absolutely phenomenal.
I wandered into her office after deciding I wanted to check out something like five apartments that had already been sold, with no idea they weren’t on the market, and I’m so happy I did. And stumbling over from the East Coast, I knew nothing about San Francisco. She explained everything to me and we started looking at apartments later that week. We closed on the perfect place in less than two months.
I was not looking to spend much and that did not impact her commitment at all. She’s genuine, understanding of odd needs and schedules, and very patient. She even checked in after closing about repairs, insurance, smoke alarms, notably eclectic neighbors… the list goes on. I can be hopeless and she made sure not to leave me hanging. Took her out for a fabulous, much needed celebratory drink after everything, and consider her a friend.
And of course, I LOVE my apartment. Could not have hoped for a better, more suitable place.

Lorraine is fantastic! She was recommended to me by several people when I started shopping for my first home. She understood not only where I wanted to live, but how I wanted to live, my style and my budget. Without her, I never would have been able to navigate through this crazy SF housing market without losing heart. She never stopped looking out for my best interests and in the process, became a great friend.
We found the perfect house for me in less than 3 months, in a DEAD market. Lorraine was on top of things from start to finish, even when the loan officer, bank and everyone else was dropping the ball. I’ve already recommended her to other friends and will of course work with her again, should I ever decide to move.
