I have lived and worked in the San Francisco Bay Area for almost thirty years and know that this is one of the best places in which to live. Yes, the home prices tend to be higher than in other parts of the country, but there's a reason for this - temperate climate, beautiful views, a bustling city with smaller communities nearby...what more could one want? I am committed to listening carefully to your needs and providing the appropriate service and information in order to help you fulfill your real estate goals. I will work diligently to make sure your home finding or home selling experience is a memorable one. I specialize in buying and selling homes in Millbrae, Burlingame, San Bruno, South San Francisco, Daly City and throughout the Peninsula, with specific expertise in Millbrae. A California native, I first came to the San Francisco Bay Area in 1985 to study Biochemistry at U.C. Berkeley. Like many others, I fell in love with the Bay Area and have been here ever since with my husband and two daughters. My passion has always been to help others, especially in the area of education. I served for two years as the Director of Impacting Asian Communities for Tomorrow (ImpACT), where I planned and supervised various academic enrichment programs for under-privileged Asian youth and elementary school students in inner-city Oakland. At Taylor Middle School in Millbrae, I took on a variety of responsibilities as Volunteer Coordinator, Newsletter Editor, Communications Chair, and Executive Vice President. Moving on to Mills High School, I had the privilege to be the Recording Secretary, Corresponding Secretary, and Co-President, as well as being the chair person for the annual Mills Mania Fundraiser event for several years. Every year, I have continued to volunteer as an "alumni parent" and host a Shredding Party to provide free shredding services to the community while raising money for Mills High. I served on the Bayview Homeowner Association Board since 2011, and have been on the Millbrae Planning Commission since 2013. Although challenging, both of these positions have been especially enriching and helped me to develop a more well-rounded perspective on real estate beyond the sale. As a real estate agent, I understand that buying or selling a home is so much more than a business transaction. For many, buying a home is one of the largest investments in one's life, and not a decision to be rushed into or taken lightly. It can symbolize a new phase in life or the realization of a hard-earned dream. Likewise, selling a home also marks a major transition in life, sometimes exciting and sometimes difficult. Whatever the situation, my goal is to help make the transition as smooth as possible for you.

For nearly 20 years, Craig Ackerman has been adding value to his clients’ home sales. He likes to present options for broadening a property’s appeal through quick, strategic cosmetic resurfacing. Most clients follow his plan, allowing him to deliver the highest possible selling price.

Craig developed a keen sense for where to spend to attract buyers and how to negotiate so everyone wins. Since then, he has earned a contractor’s license; has bought, refurbished and sold his own homes; and has guided the refresh of hundreds of San Francisco and Bay Area client properties. To his great satisfaction, he’s helped homeowners, investment property owners and developers, generating millions in additional profits for them.

Craig enjoyed working with people across borders and absorbing cultural nuances. He also acquired sophisticated marketing, team management and interior design skills that have served him and his clients all through his professional life.

I am great at my job because I can’t get enough of San Francisco - the people, the neighborhoods and, of course, the intricacies of our housing market. I have made a lifelong study of the trends, neighborhoods, and life of this city and I write about them on my blog at Living415.com. I’ve even named a neighborhood. The results of this enthusiasm are incredible: I have consistently been in the top 1% of San Francisco Realtors, and in 2017 I was in the top 10 agents in the city out of 4700 (for closed transactions; #21 in terms of closed dollar volume). This helps my clients because the more transactions I do, the more data points and relationships I can leverage to get their business done.
