ENDORSEMENTS
Mariano Cassisi
Now that we are somewhat settled in our new home, I want to take this time to thank you for what a great job we did in finding the perfect home.
Yes, we looked at loft condominiums and single-family homes both in San Francisco and Oakland. We made several offers too. But they just were not quite what I wanted. And then, when we found a single-family home in Bernal Heights, my then neighborhood, I just had to have it. And we got it with a great mortgage rate.
The garden is exceptional. We look forward to inviting family and friends to dine with us al fresco. And, of course, in the future adding an extension to the back.
You stood by me and what I wanted for over a year. For this I am truly grateful.
First I must say Anne was and remains an absolute joy to work with. Anyone who has looked for commercial space in San Francisco knows that it is an incredibly difficult market. We had a very specific set of needs for location and within two weeks of contacting Anne she had found a space that met our needs and was under our budget. Her creativity and out of the box thinking is what made this happen.

I want to thank you for your assistance in helping our firm relocate to 12 Geary Street. Your professionalism and insight into the building, the process and right approach with the landlord was invaluable in us securing our lease.
I truly appreciate all of your help throughout the process in keeping us on track to execute the lease before someone else could snatch it up!
Sincerely,

It was a pleasure to work with such a professional and talented agent. You were able to secure a five year lease with an international design team and you were persistent in presenting me with several offers. Your skilled knowledge of negotiation with all parties made this lease possible.
Thank you,

We have had the great fortune of working with Anne Lawrence of Vanguard Properties for leasing a retail space on 2146 Union Street. This was a tough project where due to the short term nature of the lease, most tenant candidates did not want to occupy the space for less than two years. Anne’s resilience, proactive search, and diligence paid off. In less than one month, Anne found us a tenant who was willing to lease out our space with the terms we’d previously agreed on. She took ownership of the whole lease process from A to Z. That kind of ownership made our lives much easier.
After our experience with 2146 Union Street we commissioned Anne to help us lease 46 Otis Street. This is a light industrial warehouse space in mid market location in San Francisco. We originally thought the space was not leasable due to its condition. Without having us spend a dime on improvements, Anne once again found us the perfect tenant in exactly the terms we were hoping for in less than a month.
From these two transactions we’ve observed that Anne is very creative, proactive, and hard working. Unlike other agents we’ve worked with, she is not shy of picking up the phone and making hundreds of phone calls until she finds the right tenant. We found her to be an excellent asset for helping with our leasing needs. She is a great listener and an excellent negotiator.

"As newlyweds and first time buyers we were very motivated to find a home where we could build our life together. With Anne’s help we won out and arrived in the perfect neighborhood at the right price.
We are so very happy to have a single-family home, where we can entertain and welcome visiting family and friends from out of town.
Anne was there for us all the way, always providing needed information to guide us through the process.
We look forward to referring Anne to our many friends.

“Ms Lawrence is the best, most professional leasing agent we have employed in the past 25 years. She applies the same energy, creativity, and enthusiasm for a listing regardless if its a very small, single office room or an entire office floor in the building. She is the only agent of whom I’m aware that actively stages the office space to make it attractive to prospective lessees.
In the past, leasing agents would agree to list available office space for us and simply rely on a “for lease” sign on the exterior of the building to bring prospects. Invariably, we would never hear from them. In contrast, Ms Lawrence uses the best websites available to appeal to a wide base of prospective leasees and clever marketing brochures and signage to generate interest.”

“Aura Fire Safety worked with Anne Lawrence to secure a new office space in San Francisco in October 2015. We were on a specific budget and a tight time-line. But from the first phone call, Anne had put us at ease, she assured us that the space she had in mind would be perfect for our construction company needs. On our first visit, the office rental had exceeded our expectations. Anne had staged the space with welcoming rugs, flowers and paintings. More over, after we had signed the lease, which was immediately, Anne let us keep some of these lovely décor items. Anne Lawrence is a dream-come-true realtor. She is an industry veteran and has fantastic connections. When we need a Feng Shui specialist to set up our new office, Anne made a valuable reference, for which we are grateful still. If you are fortunate enough to work with Anne, know that your business will prosper”

Anne has represented my wife Shirley and I in the leasing of both our commercial and residential properties for the past four years with success. Her marketing, with the use of photographer Clay Seibert, website development with Tour Factory and listing on LoopNet, CoStar, Apartments.com, Linked-In, Instagram as well as SFAR MLS assured that the property was seen by a broad spectrum of potential tenants.
It is my pleasure to recommend Anne to represent the rent or sale of your properties.

I am pleased to recommend Anne Lawrence for your commercial leasing services.
My office suite in San Rafael went on the market and was leased within two months, an unusually short period for getting into lease at this time. I feel that the marketing, including professional photos, website and listing on the commercial website as well as MLS had a lot to do with this. Anne showed it to many a five-year lease with a Pilates and Motion Group that is well suited for the suite.
