Working With Mia I am dedicated, dynamic, and diverse. I take being responsive to my clients very seriously. I have a strong intuition for favorable pricing and marketing. I bring together a team of consultants for optimal results. I build stong relationships with my clients and focus on their long term goals.
Mia is a South Beach Realtor-in-Residence and is known as a Realtor to Silicon Valley Tech Startups. With the tech boom in SF, many of her clients rely on her to relocate their SF hires. Her speciality of selling properties in the South Beach area has made her an asset to the tech startup community. With her specialization in High-Rise Condos and Lofts in South Beach, SoMa, Financial District and Mission Bay, combined with her extensive experience in assisting investor clients with their income property acquisition, Mia is a valued member of the Keller Williams San Francisco team. Mia earned a Masters Degree in Business Administration-Investment from California State University with honors. Her multilingual skills and ability to understand different cultures has helped many clients during the negotiation process. Dear Friends and Neighbors, By 2020, there will be thousands of new and recently constructed condominium homes in the South Beach/Mission Bay neighborhood. Interest in South Beach/Mission Bay is gaining worldwide attention. I specialize in residential real estate transactions in South Beach /Mission Bay and am growing a community to network around the exciting dynamic in the new downtown.

With our professional guidance and marketing capability, we can significantly enhance the value of your property. Buyers, build your property profile with me now and I will call you when new and off-market properties come up that match your criteria.

What Her Clients Are Saying
“
I’ve got to know Mia through an open house she hosted in one of the lofts for sale in 2009. I was impressed by her in-depth knowledge of the South Beach area which I was primarily interested in. You sense a different level of confidence when an agent knows every single building development on the block and all future opportunities presented by the market. I subscribed to Mia’s mailing list and never regretted it. Over years she used this opportunity to provide me some quick market updates which were always timely and valuable. Interesting enough I left my email to many other agents, but Mia was the one of a very few agents who actually was consistent throughout the years and kept this communication channel active. Six years fast forward, I decided to sell my property. I interviewed a couple other agents besides Mia. She came prepared with a complete marketing plan, the best understanding of the market conditions and a quite aggressive strategy. Those are key elements you wish your selling agent would have. Mia got it all and beyond. She also recommended a few upgrades to my condo that would bring 5X on the investment.
“
Long story short, everything worked out well and according to the original strategy. Mia put tons of energy into negotiation. With her efforts we got the best offer on the market. She was on top of things through the closing and very helpful communicating with all parties involved (escrow, inspectors, the other broker, etc). Mia is killing it all across the board and you want her to represent you as a real estate agent. - Vadim Oss, Seller - 18 Lansing

“
Mia Takami is the best Realtor that I have ever worked with. Let me give you an example of how professional, strategic, and caring she is. I own a restaurant in the SoMa area. I live in Southern California and I travel to SF on a weekly basis. I asked Mia to find a condo close to the restaurant. Knowing that I was a former professional baseball player, she found me a beautiful condo across the street from AT&T Park. It had a living room view of the stadium. I was elated. She negotiated my offer and we closed shortly after. What a pleasant experience. She took care of everything. How did she know m passion was baseball? Amazing! - Jeremy Umland, Buyer and Seller - 207 King St Founder & CEO, Ozumo SF & Sonoma Wine Garden
“
I have owned a recruitment company in Silicon Valley for twenty years. Technology is our speciality. Part of the recruitment process is relocation of the candidate. If the wife and family are not happy with the results of the relocation process, we lose the candidate. With the current tech boom in SF, we have relied on Mia to relocate our SF hires. Her experience with other tech companies in SF made her the obvious choice for us. We are happy with her services. She truly understands the SoMA/South Beach area as well as the real estate process. The Millenials relate well to her and she understands the needs of this new generation of wealth. She even found a rental property for a candidate. Her specialty of selling properties in the South Beach area has made her an asset to the tech startup community.

Getting Your Home Sold Our proven sales strategy Selling a home for the highest possible price in San Francisco requires a cohesive strategy, deliberate process and a talented team. We follow a strategic plan to get your home sold for top dollar, as quickly as possible. First, we analyze both market conditions and the property to determine how best to position it in the current market. Based on our analysis, we develop a marketing plan and execute it with the intention of generating quality offers from qualified buyers. Then, we negotiate fiercely on your behalf and when both parties agree on price and terms, we proceed to the closing process.
Let’s look at each of these steps in greater detail.
Analyze and Position For a fast, efficient and profitable sale Market fluctuations, time of year and inventory will all have a direct impact on pricing your home. For a fast, efficient and profitable sale, I will provide you with a detailed report outlining the latest market trends, a full market valuation of your home and a Comparative Market Analysis. No matter how hot the market might be, simply placing your home on the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) is not enough. I will consult with you on how to best position your home for sale and attract the right prospects to your doorstep. Price Should you price your home at or below market? It depends. Pricing your home in a manner that will attract multiple buyers who will compete with each other, and not you, requires experience and a thorough understanding of the market. I will advise you on the most appropriate pricing strategy.
Preparation It is a psychological advantage for prospective buyers to see themselves living in your uncluttered home. For this reason, painting, deep cleaning and depersonalizing are crucial elements to a quick sale. I will manage the preparation of your home in a manner that suits your comfort level. Key cosmetic fixes are also important. Should you refinish your cabinets, change out the sink in the guest bathroom or invest in a new front door? I will advise you on changes that yield the greatest ROI. Presentation Staging can be crucial to obtaining the highest price and fastest sale of your home. According to a survey by the Real Estate Staging Association, homes spend 78% less time on the market after being staged. I will advise you on how to stage your home or provide a professional who can do it for you. We have a broad repertoire of interior designers and stagers to meet just about any budget.
Marketing Bring the right buyers to your doorstep For maximum exposure, I use a proven Cross Media Marketing Strategy utilizing multiple online and
print mediums, my extensive agent network and the advantage of Keller Williams’ global presence. Your home will be featured on Keller Williams Listing System, or KWLS. This proprietary, exclusive system ensures your property is marketed online 24/7 through more than 350 of the most popular search websites. As the largest real estate franchise in the world, Keller Williams offers “My Listings, My Leads,” wherein every single Internet inquiry on your property comes directly to me, allowing immediate follow-up with potential buyers. We distinguish ourselves from other agents with the breadth and depth of services we provide and our goal is to make selling your home painless, profitable and predictable.
We proudly offer our sellers with the following a la carte services: • Individual property website that is both mobile and desktop friendly • Cross-platform social media exposure on both Keller Williams sites and my personal sites • Professional photography, video and 3D walk-through • A detailed floor plan included on the site and print marketing • Print marketing - beautifully crafted postcards, brochures and property statements to showcase your home
Staging and Professional Photography Prepare and present your property
It has been studied and shown that both the length of time on the market and sales price are positively impacted by a beautifully staged and photographed home. These are powerful tools not to be overlooked or underestimated. Selling a home is part science, part art. Beyond analytics and market conditions, there is the human element to consider. Every buyer is trying to imagine themselves living in the home they are viewing. Through the magic of staging and photography, you can ignite the flame of desire in a potential client to want to own and live in the space you are selling, and now call home.

Online Marketing & Social Media Property Websites, Video / 3D Walk-Throughs, Social Media and Keller Williams Listing Service Social Media: There is no denying the power of positioning your home in the midst of a strong social media campaign to create interest. Your property will be included in a well-crafted and consistent program. Keller Williams Listing Service (KWLS): The Keller Williams Listing Service is a powerful search engine that will further propel your property into the farthest reaches of the internet and gain additional exposure to serious and qualified buyers. Individual Property Website: An address specific site is useful for marketing your home online to generate interest and foot traffic. Video & 3D Walk-Throughs: Similar to the magic of photography and staging, video is another way to fuel buyer interest. Unique features of your property can be highlighted and brought to life. Video can be very useful for out of town buyers.

Your Open House Let buyers experience your home
Open houses provide a potential buyer with the opportunity to be in your home and imagine themselves living in the space. It is one of the best ways for buyers to discover and explore your home. We will design an open house program convenient for you that may include weekend events, broker and twilight tours, private showings and agent-only lockbox access. Additionally, every open house will be promoted on the MLS which syndicates to major portals such as Zillow, Trulia and RedFin. To capture local traffic, each event will be well marked with directional signs on key street corners.
