My Client-First Philosophy

There are many qualities and skills that go into being an excellent real estate professional - integrity, in-depth community and market knowledge, marketing savvy, effective negotiation skills and a high-quality professional network, all of which are hallmarks of how I work.

That said, in my experience as a San Francisco, San Diego & San Mateo real estate professional, I've also found that providing the very best service is essentially about putting my clients first. This means keeping myself accessible, being a good listener as well as a good communicator, and responding quickly to your needs.

This "client first" philosophy has always been my approach and it requires me to continually improve my skills and ways of doing business. In addition, I've found that the latest technologies are enabling me to do everything I've always done, only much more quickly and efficiently. They've also helped me to extend the range of services I provide to my clients.

Originally from Southern Iran, I moved to Southern California in 1974 and I have been a San Francisco/Bay Area resident since 1993. I have 20 years of combined experience as a real estate broker and a successful financial executive for many financial corporations. Only naming a few are: Chief Financial Officer at Security Financial Management, Inc., Director of Finance & Administration at Triton Funding Group, Inc., Controller at LVL Communication , Inc. , Corporate Treasurer at AMS Aviation Systems, Inc. , Accounting Executive at Countrywide Funding, Inc. and See's Candies Inc. ( where I met my husband John).
I have a Bachelors degree in Finance /Accounting as well a Masters degree in Business Management.

Recognized as a skilled negotiator and results-oriented innovator, I have the expertise, patience and drive to ensure that the real estate needs of both buyers and sellers are fully realized. My experience in finance, sales and marketing allows me the ability to offer the best deal for your investment decisions. Whether you are a first-time buyer or an experienced investor, my goal as a Realtor is to bring your dreams to life and to make the process of buying or selling a home easy and successful. The firm's core values of honesty, integrity and objectivity are the foundation of my relationship with my clients .

I was raised in a family of entrepreneurs.  I was very close to my father and his success as an influential businessman is my  role model.  I keep my father in mind whenever I make a creative business decision.

As an entrepreneur, I am not only known for my innovation, but also I am known for my patience and humor. I listen closely and carefully to my clients needs to make the best use of their time. I speak honestly, set realistic expectations, and help make educated decisions. I learned a great deal in the years I've spent working in client driven and service oriented industries. I know how important it is for your broker to be fully committed to your needs.

I am very family oriented and I value my employees and clients the same way I treat my own family, including two children and three grandchildren. In my spare time, I enjoy spending quality time with my family and love to cook and bake. I can also be found bike riding through the city with my husband John (Yianni).

I am a member of the Better Business Bureau (BBB), The Professional Property Management Association of San Francisco (PPMA), member of National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO), member of the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the California Association of Realtors (CAR), San Mateo Association of Realtors (SAMCAR),  San Francisco Association of Realtors (SFAR). Finance & Budget Chair of the Women’s Council of Realtors (CA WCR) State of California, Treasurer of the Women’s Council of Realtors (SF WCR) San Francisco Chapter, Audit Chair of the Women’s Council of Realtors (SF WCR) San Francisco Chapter. Additionally, Manzar has considerable experience serving on the Board of Directors for several other companies and volunteering for local 501(c)(3) non-profits as a board member and Treasurer.
