I have purchased several homes in the past with various agents. I can honestly say that Anna and Dennis are the best agents that I had the pleasure of working with. I never received so much information, updates and personal support. They did not simply try to sell me a house, but were constantly looking for a great deal for me. Every walkthrough, they showed me good and bad and provided actual suggestions.After I purchased the house, they continue to check in as I go through my remodel and provide advice.You cannot possibly ask anything more from your agents and I recommend them to anyone looking to buy/sell/renovate your home.

As a first-time home buyer in the San Francisco Bay Area real estate market, my experience working with Anna Spathis (and her husband Dennis Stavropoulos) of Sterling Homes has been rich with thoughtful planning, education, communication, and care.Anna’s home buying approach fit perfectly with my basic understanding of the real estate purchase process. She took me by the (virtual) hand and guided me through the various elements I needed to understand. Her experience as an educator, real estate agent, and strong sense of her client’s needs all complement each other perfectly. This coupled with Dennis’ strong real estate analysis skills, understanding of construction, plus their well curated network of professionals, make them a powerful real estate team.I appreciate the journey we went through together starting with a lakefront home in wine country to going under contract for a multi-unit building in San Francisco and finally ending with the purchase of a 2-unit building in San Rafael. The real estate lessons learned overall have been invaluable and partnership unforgettable.

Im not sure how to say this without sounding dramatic, but meeting Anna Spathis and Dennis Stavropoulos has really changed our lives. We cannot recommend them enough as real estate agents, and more than that, counselors about how to get the best return on investment.We first met Anna and Dennis through friends, after we had been living in San Francisco for about a year, and were looking for our first house in the San Francisco Bay Area. The process of purchasing a house was daunting at the time-- while we had been homeowners twice over in the DC area, the San Francisco Bay Area market was something we had never experienced before, given how highly competitive the real estate market was. Anna and Dennis were amazing. They helped us understand the real estate market and assess a wide variety of homes in different areas. They ultimately helped us purchase a wonderful home in Noe Valley.After we had been in our Noe Valley home for about a year, we started thinking through how we might expand the size of the house for the future. Even though we had no plans to sell the house, Anna and Dennis spent quite a bit of time with us while we worked through the architectural plans over many months. They not only guided us on the ways that we could fully maximize the value by expanding our Noe Valley house, they met with our architects and dramatically improved our plans, pointing out a lot of problems that we hadnt noticed. After over a year of planning, and work to obtain approvals for the expanded house, we learned that we were expecting twins (in addition to a 2-year-old we already had running around the house) and realized we needed a larger home asap. Under a time crunch, Anna and Dennis again helped narrow down the real estate listings, took us to open houses with our very young son in tow, and helped us find the perfect San Francisco home. All the while, they helped us to sell our Noe Valley home with approved plans for building expansion, for top dollar (far above the average price per square foot in Noe Valley at the time). Amazingly, they made the process easy -- accommodating our hectic busy schedules and communicating with us efficiently. We consider ourselves truly lucky to have met Anna Spathis and Dennis Stavropoulos, and even luckier that we have the privilege of calling them friends.

I highly recommend realtor Anna Spathis. My husband and I were first-time homebuyers and had already exhausted one agent when we met with Anna. She answered our many questions patiently and comprehensively, and explained that home buying is more than just what you can afford. Anna was always available to check out listings with us, even at a moments notice. Within just a few months we had our dream home at a great price! The house we settled on needed some work and Anna helped us determine what needed done immediately, and develop a plan for tackling what could wait.We have referred several of our friends to Anna; both buyers and sellers. Like us, they appreciated having a realtor that want the best for their clients and willing to work around the clock to take care of them.
