The market
doesn't wait.

Neither do I.
San Francisco Bay Area real estate is not for the timid. I specialize in the moments where the stakes are highest — and where precision, relationships, and strategy separate the outcomes that disappoint from the ones that define.

Your Advisor

Most agents show you homes. I show you what they're actually worth.

My clients don't just close. They win. As part of Team: Cece Doricko & Associates, I bring the depth of a top-performing team's network, data, and resources — with the singular focus and accountability of a dedicated advisor who knows your situation personally.

The SF Bay Area market punishes hesitation and rewards precision. After years negotiating on both sides of this city's most competitive transactions — from first-time buyers entering a brutal market to sellers who need to move fast without leaving money on the table — I've learned that timing, relationships, and strategy matter more than any listing algorithm.

I specialize in the Noe Valley, Pacific Heights, Mission Dolores, and Hayes Valley micro-markets — as well as Marin County and East Bay.

SELLERS

What's your home worth in
today's market?

San Francisco Bay Area real estate pricing is hyper-local. A block can mean six figures. Get a precise, data-driven valuation, not an algorithm estimate. Based on current comparable sales, your property's specific attributes, and real-time buyer demand in your neighbhorhood.  

  • "Knowing your number is the first move in any smart negotiation."

No spam. No Pressure. Just a real honest number. I typically respond within 12 business hours.

Why Mimi

What working with me
actually means for you

A real estate transaction is one of the most consequential financial decisions you'll make. Here's how I make sure you come out ahead.

01

Market Intelligence, Not Market Opinion

I run the numbers before we make a single move. Comparable sales, micro-neighborhood absorption rates, DOM trends, price-per-square-foot by block — you'll have the full picture, not a gut feeling dressed up as advice.

02

Relationships That Open Doors Before They List

Some of San Francisco's best transactions never touch the MLS. As part of a top-producing team with deep broker relationships across the city, I have access to off-market opportunities and early previews that the general market never sees.

03

Negotiation That Protects What Matters

Most agents present offers. I architect them. Every term — price, contingencies, timeline, inclusions — is a lever. I know which ones to pull, when to hold firm, and when to move fast. My sellers average 8% over asking. My buyers don't overpay.

Client Stories

They didn't just close.
They won.

"Mimi and her partner did a great job preparing my home to sell, including great staging and painting partners, excellent marketing which included a surprise piece in the local paper, and a well-done website. She was available practically 24/7 throughout the process, and we were able to sell very near to my target price. I'd highly recommend her and her team."

Brian M.

"I worked with Mimi last year when I was searching for my first home in SF. As a first-time buyer, I was incredibly impressed by her knowledge and transparency throughout the entire process. From a passive house searcher to a proud homeowner in SF, Mimi made sure every step was clear. She was proactive, always followed up on documents, and answered every question. I highly recommend Mimi to any first-time buyers."

Rishi S.

"Coordinating the sale of our old home and the purchase of a new one simultaneously sounds like a nightmare. Mimi made it feel inevitable. She managed every moving part, negotiated both sides expertly, and we never once felt out of control. I highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed."

Process Section

The Process

How I engineer
your outcome

Every transaction is different. But every great outcome follows the same disciplined approach — preparation, precision, and no surprises.

1

Strategy Session

We start with a 30-minute no-pressure conversation to understand your goals, timeline, and situation — not to sell you on listing or buying. My job in this conversation is to listen, not pitch.

2

Market Analysis

You receive a custom, hyper-local market analysis — comparable sales, absorption rates, pricing psychology, and a clear positioning recommendation. Data-driven, plainly explained.

3

Execution

Whether we're listing, searching, or negotiating — you have one point of contact, daily communication, and total transparency. No hand-offs to assistants. No radio silence at critical moments.

4

Beyond Closing

The relationship doesn't end at the key exchange. You get access to my network of contractors, designers, lenders, and tax advisors — and a standing commitment to answer your calls, even years later.

Ready When You Are

The right move starts
with the right conversation.

No obligation, no pressure, no pitch. Just a direct conversation about what you're planning and whether I'm the right person to help you execute it.
