Lance helped us purchase a foreclosed condo in Hayes Valley. The listing agent being less than capable and very unresponsive, Lance essentially had to manage the transaction on his own under increasing time pressure. He also identified an issue with the title that 2 previous buyers (and their title insurance companies!) had not detected. Lance knows his business extremely well and takes the time to know his clients just as well. He knows enough about construction to help you not waste time on properties that aren't worth it, and is extremely resourceful to help you get "the" place when you've found it. He's also been very generous with his time and advice since the purchase. We absolutely recommend him!

Lance worked with my wife and I on both the buying and selling our San Francisco residences. Lance's expert knowledge of this market was of great value for both the purchase and sale. His hands on manmagement and excellent communication with us made this stressful process much easier. Also Lance's knowledge of construction and renovation costs were very helpful and much apopreciated. It was a pleasure to work with Lance and his team!! Ken and Linda Weber

Lance did a great job finding the right property, evaluating any issues with the property we needed to discuss with the sellers, and then negotiating those issues to a successful completion for us. All in all, I thought he did a great job. He greatly simplified the process for us we and will use him again if we choose to move.

Lance King is savvy, smart, a bull dog when he needs to be and knows the lay of the land. He'll steer you in the right direction and addresses complex problems as well as knows how to address complex sellers/buyers. He's realistic, efficient, hard-working, and experienced. I highly recommend him.

Jon Phillips Client, Buyer

Working with Lance King and Fixed Rate Properties allowed us to purchase our home at the perfect time. Lance is an expert and the rest of his team are brilliant - both knowledgeable, personable, and humorous. They will guide you through all aspects of your purchase, explain all pieces to you and most importantly, give you space to make a decision. My wife and I needed massive amount of education and training in the fierce San Francisco housing market. Lance taught us the ropes and put us on the proper path to finding the perfect space for us.

Also, where Lance shines is in finding information that he might not have on hand or as it pertains to a specific situation. He went above and beyond expectations of a realtor to confidently answer our questions and introduce us to other affiliated businesses he works with regularly.

We strongly recommend Lance and Fixed Rate Properties for purchasing property. We look forward to working with him in the future a s well, but only after we get to enjoy our lovely condo he helped us purchase at the ideal time and under the ideal circumstances.

Steve Shapiro Client, Seller

I recently sold my live/work loft in San Francisco using Lance King and Fixed Rate Properties as my selling broker. The fixed rate concept saved me thousands of dollars as compared with a conventional broker. Lance and his organization were extremely efficient and very pleasant to deal with.The property received an "over asking" offer within days of the listing and Lance and his group followed the transaction to completion and skillfully handled some of the "bumps" in the road that these transactions always seem to involve. I wholeheartedly recommend Lance and his organization.

Lance helped me sell in an impossible market. I doubt anyone could have sold this unit that quickly. Very happy with his unique approach

Having been an active contributor to Trulia for the past couple of years I've come to know a few good folks that I would feel comfortable recommending in their area should the opportunity arise.

I don't know Lance personally, however, I've tracked his comments, feedback and information during the time i've been involved with Trulia and find him very knowledgable and informative. He's a very serious and sincere member of Trulia and has always given very accurate and concise information to those seeking advice from this venue.

It's RE professionals like Lance that keep the ball moving successfully down the field and though the up rites.

Betsy Client, Buyer

I've dealt with a lot of Real Estate people in my life, so when I was ready to buy again I talked with lots of agents before selecting one. I chose Fixed Rate Properties for many reasons, and I'm grateful I did. I was drawn to them because of the owner's experience successfully buying, rehabbing, and selling multiple properties in San Francisco, but throughout the buying process I was pleasantly surprised by their patience and willingness to discourage me from purchasing properties that had flaws but that I was still considering. Negotiations on the property I chose were ridiculously complicated, but they took care of everything with skill and care, looking out for me every step of the way.

Chris Client, Seller

Lance King managed to sell the unit above mine in a very difficult-to-sell-in building in SF, so I hired him to sell mine in early 2011. He and Jon Iddings were both incredibly helpful in guiding me to do what I needed to do to get the place sold, including suggesting updates to the unit, staging, etc. Very down-to-earth, patient and practical during what I think is always a stressful process. I got an offer that I accepted the first week it was on the market. I highly recommend Fixed Rate Properties and will be hiring them again when we're ready to purchase a home.
