Becky helped us buy a home in Bernal Heights in August 2015. Throughout the process I kept thinking we'd won the lottery with her -- she was such a pleasure to work with. Our friends had recommended her after she helped them buy their house in SF.
She set our expectations at the right level from the start -- buying in SF is hard. She helped us figure out our budget, priorities, and neighborhoods. Each week she'd send a curated listing of properties we'd be interested in, weeding out a lot of others that had looked promising on Redfin but actually weren't (e.g., had brick foundation

We bought our place with Becky in late 2014 and can't recommend her highly enough. Becky is knowledgable, reliable and a genuinely nice person. Her prompt and thorough communications made us feel as though we were her only client, and she never failed to provide a detailed response to our questions, no matter how insignificant.
Becky truly cares about your best interests and will treat your money as though it were her own. We made eight offers over four months, which was a little overwhelming, but Becky's conservative approach helped us stay grounded, and her predictions about how successful

I couldn't be more enthusiastic about Becky. It is easy for a real estate agent to encourage you to buy buy buy and spend more. Becky, however, guided us to make savvy decisions and never pressured us in any way. She'd obviously someone who's found her calling and delivers on the personal and business ends of her job in spades. She's found homes for several of our friends. Highly recommended.

We recommend Becky Layton very highly to anyone thinking of buying or selling a home in San Francisco. We loved working with her this year to buy our first home in Bernal Heights after looking all around the city.
Others have already commented about how knowledgeable she is: she was able to give us more detail about neighborhoods we already were looking in and suggest places we hadn't thought of yet. When it came to making offers on houses with low list prices, she could predict the sale prices very well. Prices vary dramatically within the real estate microclimates of SF, yet Becky was always

Becky is a Rock Star!
We live in SoCal and the unit we sold is in San Francisco. Becky took care of everything from start to finish. We mailed her the keys and never once had to come up to take care of business. She managed significant renovations, selected colors/materials, staged the unit, listed, showed the unit, and closed. She was super professional during the whole complex process and we were extremely elated by the end result.
And the results speak for themselves:
12.5% over List
32.9% appreciation from original purchase price 7 years ago (summer 2006)
Completed renovations in 3 weeks

To say this was a daunting process for my husband and I as first time home buyers would be putting it extremely mildly. We had so many concerns, questions, and inaccurate assumptions about the process and the market we were buying into, and were gravely in need of an experienced broker/agent to guide us through the process. Becky Layton was a godsend. Not only is her knowledge unmatched - we interviewed other brokers/agents and she was clearly the most educated, informed, and experienced - Becky continually relayed the information in a manner that provided important, technical information in

Heard of Becky because she came to our firm and w/ a rep from BofA
So why Becky:
1.) Listens/Patience - she truly does listen to what you say and pays attention to what you are looking for. Like the details (i.e., type of kitchen). And love that she is not pushy. If you don't like anything you have seen...no worries.
2.) Strategic advice/Education - She provides strategic advice about re-sell to offers. Also, if you're first time homebuyer she walks you through the process.
3.) Makes it easy - She truly did make it an easy experience and really appreciated that esp. being so busy.

I found Becky on a property she was listing, and while NOBODY calls me back when I inquired about their listings, Becky responded within hours - even though that property was no longer available. She was courteous - wished me luck in my search and offered her assistance. When I asked if she would like to represent us, Becky came to our house and pretty much did a presentation of her services and her duties. Now, I don't know about you but I 've heard enough sales pitches and empty promises in my day. Still, I was impressed at how Becky was able to focus on the needs of all 4 decision

Becky Layton will be our only Realtor going forward. I was a first-time home buyer who purchased a two-unit house with my partner and another couple who are our close friends. Becky was hands down the best Realtor we could have ever used. Why?
Becky is an expert in her field and is extremely knowledgeable
She is professional, friendly, and has a considerate nature
She is extremely well known in the community and has an excellent reputation (we were proud to tell seller's agents that Becky was our buyer's agent because it got their attention)

After having difficulty finding condo, I found Becky through Yelp. She was quick to respond to my first phone call and arranged an in-person meeting a couple days later. She was well prepared with information about recent sales in the areas that I was interested in. In the weeks that followed, she provided me with a steady stream of information about new listings. On several occasions Becky met with me to tour properties. After a few months of looking, we finally found a condo that matched my requirements. Becky helped me get an offer accepted for a purchase price under asking. Becky was

I highly recommend Becky as a real estate agent for both sellers and buyers. She tirelessly helped us look for properties in the city, sometimes even watching my kids as I went to open houses. She plays the San Francisco real estate game with tactical precision, knowing when to low ball, when to sweeten the deal and when to walk away. And as soon as the ink dried on our new home, Becky swung into action to sell our previous property, tapping her huge network of excellent, reliable service professionals. We got 9 offers in the first week! My husband used to work with Becky in her previous life at

Becky has been the best real estate we have ever worked with. She was able to understand our needs, helping us learn and get educated to help make the best decision for us which we were comfortable with. Only after working with other real estate agents you realize how Becky is ahead of her peers. Also, she has continued to help us even after the purchase of our house and makes us feel like she is always there.

Becky is quite a rockstar. She got to know our interests so quickly and then pounded the pavement looking at places for us, making great suggestions, and preparing itineraries so we can make the best use of our time during open houses. We had been searching for a place for months...then working with Becky we found our gem in just two months. She not only came up with suggestions but provided different strategies that we had not considered during our extensive search process. It paid off in the end with a fantastic place that we love.
Beyond just searching for a home, she always made herself

If I could give Becky six stars, I would. She made buying a property in San Francisco downright pleasurable. She is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and straightforward. We worked with her for months as we searched, and she was with us every step of the way - never pressuring, always helpful. We sent her to the far corners of the city looking at properties and she never hesitated. She is very thorough and does things by the numbers - she carries a calculator in her purse to do ad hoc calculations - which made evaluating our options very clear.

Becky is a very professional, friendly and knowledgeable real estate agent. We're clear that we wouldn't have gotten our beautiful home without her! She guided us through every step of the buying process and responded quickly and thoroughly to all of our many (!) questions. We felt very well taken care of. Becky has a very friendly and straight-forward personality which we loved (no talking around the truth). Because of that and because of her efficient and upbeat work ethic we felt like we could trust her from the very beginning! Thanks, Becky!
