Awards and Designations • #23 Wall Street Journal’s "Top 200" (by dollar volume) |
|
Nina Hatvany has consistently been TRI Coldwell Banker’s #1 or #2 top producing agent for 19 years. TRI Coldwell Banker is by far the highest producing office in San Francisco. In the year 2009, Nina was San Francisco’s top individual residential agent with over $100 million in sales. In 2008, Nina closed the most transactions, and was involved in nearly $95 million worth of home sales and purchases, which resulted in her being ranked as the company’s sixth most successful agent in the nation for 2008 sales volume. She represents both buyers and sellers of luxury homes, condominiums and apartment buildings. Naturally, she is in the top 1% 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 home. She makes it her business to get her clients what they want. Her interest in real estate sales stems from her 29 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 both a contractor’s license and a real estate sales person’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 twenty-eight 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. |

Best," | |||

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, and thank you to Rebecca, for everything. I anticipate that our
paths will one day cross again; in the meantime, we'll send our friends your
way." |

|||
"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," |
|||
Nina & Rebecca, "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 and Rebecca 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. |
|||
"Congratulations Nina, on getting this to close! Again, I want to commend Rebecca for being ever so available, efficient, smart, gracious and friendly about everything... she made my life so much smoother because as you know the details are critical and can drive one nuts!" |
|||
"…. 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. |
|||

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

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!"
