"I worked with several people at Ascend because, due to Covid, there were no open houses! So, I got to meet a lot of the team for individual property tours. My primary realtor was Dan Risman-Jones who was great to work with. Dan and all his team members were always professional, helpful, positive, and courteous. All of my requests for viewings, questions, and concerns were answered within the same day. I felt confident that they all knew the market, the legalities and processes, and that they were always being upfront, factual, and honest with me. There were no selling tactics, only helpful information, support, and service. While I certainly couldn't afford my dream house, Dan and Ascend helped me find the best possible place for me right now and I'm very happy in my new home!"

"Daniel was, more than anything else, patient. Our buying journey took... probably two years? Maybe three? I’m sure there were several times where he could have said “these people are not serious, I will ignore them”. And yet, he did not! And then when we actually found our dream place, he was entirely and completely on the ball—responsive, helpful, clarifying, everything we could have wanted, even during some late nights and in a weirdly complicated financial situation. We’re very glad we met Daniel and would happily recommend him."

When it was time to make a bid, he was explained the process, made sure we had all the documents signed, and went over the all the disclosures and flagged anything concerning for us, and guided us through the entire escrow contract process. Definitely would recommend."

"My husband and I just bought our first house with Dan. He was great! Walked us through the whole process, drove out to the East Bay many times with us despite being based in SF and my saying we were initially looking for SF places."

"We had a great experience with Dan. At first we weren't as serious in the search and never felt any pressure from Dan. Dan was also extremely responsive with any questions and would take care of any issues that arose in process. When it did come time to make a bid, he gave good advice and looked out for us to get a good deal. We now have a home ..."
