Partner Agent reviews here

Since 2014, award-winning Realtor® Joe Polyak has been one of the top producers in the San Francisco Bay Area. He brings integrity, honesty, and a bespoke approach to real estate that ensures each transaction goes as smoothly and quickly as possible while providing the best customer service in the industry.
 
Joe specializes in luxury property sales, probate, and trust sales, senior transitioning, and first time home buyers. He’s been licensed since 2010, and with his extensive experience and a personalized approach, Joe delivers excellent customer service and unmatched results. He gets to know each client and then develops a marketing and pricing strategy that is in line with their goals.
 
As an agent who deals with a high-volume of transactions, Joe was inspired to design an infrastructure that efficiently handles high volumes of listings and sales. Because of his commitment to his clients, Joe is constantly striving to improve himself. He attributes his success not only to his passion for real estate but also to his understanding and in-depth study of human psychology.
 
Drawing on the Japanese business ideology of Kaizen, which translates to “continuous improvement,” Joe has dedicated himself to mastering real estate and acting as an expert professional resource for everyone on his team. His No.1 focus both personally and professionally, is to excel. To that end, he regularly reads books and attends seminars centered on the topics of real estate, marketing, and negotiation to improve his efficiency and bring more value to clients.
 
As a Bay Area native, Joe has an intimate understanding of its neighborhoods, and he goes above and beyond to help his clients settle in. He’s a connoisseur of good food and fine wine, loves to travel, and is always enthusiastic about giving recommendations for local restaurants—especially in Belmont, where he lives. Joe’s passion for real estate and providing a professional and holistic approach to each transaction spills over onto his off-time hobbies, which include fitness, nutrition, philosophy, and self-improvement. He can also be found volunteering for Habitat for Humanity, lounging by the pool, and learning more about business operations and investing. Joe is a member of the Peninsula Estate Planning Council and Top Agent Network.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

I wish I could’ve given Joe more stars than 5. WHAT A REALTOR®!!!!! He did a great job. It started off with us not being super satisfied with our original realtor® choice. So my wife called Joe and when she hung up the phone we were scheduled to view an off market listing in 3 days. We walked the property on a Sunday night (which Joe was happy to do) and put in an offer right there. 4 days later the sell...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Where do I start. I’m a plumber in San Bruno and I’ve worked with Joe on quite a few homes he’s bought and sold. So I chose him to represent us in buying our first house. Joe is all around amazing to work with. Out of all the other real estate agents in the San Mateo and San Francisco bay area that I’ve worked with in the past Joe is by far most dedicated to his business and clients. He’s very fast to re...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Joe is a absolutely amazing! My father and I travel to San Francisco often to visit relatives and friends so we have been exploring the option of buying a 2nd home in SF. A friend of ours in San Francisco recommended Joe as she has purchased her house through him.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Joe and his team are amazing!! I initially met Joe at an open house for a home he had for sale. I wasn’t really looking to buy at that time I was more so just dipping my toes in the water.We later met at Joe’s office where he taught me about the home buying process and the local market, then we went to go look at homes. From the very beginning I told him I was a year out from buying a house at least.Afte...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

BEST real estate agent around! Joe is incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and driven which makes him a phenomenal real estate agent to have on your side. He put in the time to drive my husband and I around the neighborhoods we were thinking of buying in so that we could get a better understanding of which neighborhoods fit us best. He also found us an incredible off market listing through sheer determi...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

My husband and I purchased our first home in our dream neighborhood in Pacifica – during a pandemic no less – and it’s all thanks to Joe! From the beginning Joe was a joy to work with, he is friendly and knowledgable and have been super patient with us. He is extremely attentive and communicative, it is his efficiency that ultimately got us our dream home. We plan to stay at our new home for a long tim...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Joe and his team exceeded all of our expectations when we sold and later bought our new home. Joe does not only have a strong understanding of the current market but he also takes the time to listen to his clients’ needs and goals when it comes to selling/buying a home. He was always available to answer all of our questions (and we had a lot of them) and he was an absolute pleasure to work with, both per...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Joe helped us with acquiring our first home in Burlingame lately. We enjoyed working with him: he is professional, friendly, communicative and very knowledgeable. We started trying to buy our first home in San Mateo, Foster City area in late 2018 and met Joe at that time. As a first time buyer, we had a lot of questions at the time, and much back and forth on where to look and what types of home to buy....
