Discovering
your piece of
San Francisco
together

Sandra HESLA
strives to make your journey in SF Bay Area real estate one to be remembered…
for the good reasons.

Sandra doesn’t “sell” real estate. She talks it through with you—clearly, honestly, and without the usual pressure.

Before real estate, she drove a taxi in San Francisco. What she loved most wasn’t the driving—it was the people. Figuring out where they needed to go, reading the moment, and getting them there the best way possible. That instinct never left. These days, real estate is just the vehicle. 

Her background spans design, rental management, finance, and home staging—including running her own company, Fresh Home Staging, through the highs and lows of the San Francisco market. She’s seen it all, navigated it all, and knows how to keep things moving without the drama. 

Sandra has a degree in Industrial Design from California College of the Arts, which shows up in how she sees homes—and how she helps clients see them too. Every situation is different. Every client is different. There’s no script. 

Working with Sandra feels less like being “handled” and more like having someone sharp, intuitive, and fully in your corner—walking you through decisions, not pushing you into them. 

The goal is simple: to get you exactly where you want to go, and make the process feel a whole lot better than you expected.

About…Sandra Hesla

How we can help you…

Buyer Representation

Working with buyers is such a genuine treat. The discovery of the obvious and hidden needs and wants of the buyer, plus the broad research to uncover listings and properties that may not show up at first glance. Honing in on ‘must-haves’ and getting as many boxes checked on a client's list gives me a boost of joy every day to help them in the process and make it as stress-free and streamlined as possible for them. Utilizing the Compass Collections and database gives us every advantage.

Seller Listing Agent

The sell side of a real estate transaction offers the chance to utilize my design and marketing skills for prepping a property to promoting the project and negotiating on your behalf. We can get a read on the market with the Compass Coming Soon feature before transitioning to a fully live listing. You’ll be informed and included in the market activity and while taking the weight off your shoulders, you’ll always have final say in how the transaction proceeds.

Rental Search & Guidance

Relocating to San Francisco Bay area or already calling it home… searching for rentals can be exhausting. Much like searching for properties to buy, there is usually a checklist with the ‘absolutely got to have it’ and then other wants lower down that list. Efficient use of your time & private listings info is just some of where we can help. Video tours are available if you’re out of the area and need to make a decision from afar. Corporate clients welcome.

Exceptional Service Beyond Expectations
I met Sandra by chance at an open house, and she immediately impressed me with her professionalism and dedication. When I mentioned my daughters were looking for a two-unit property, she took the time to understand our specific needs – location, size, parking, and more. Going above and beyond, tirelessly searching and refining her recommendations until she found the perfect fit was not the end of it. Throughout the entire process, Sandra's expertise and guidance were invaluable. She expertly navigated us through making the offer, negotiations, and closing, keeping everyone informed and up-to-date every step of the way. Even with one of my daughters out of town, she ensured the transaction was seamless and stress-free. Sandra's commitment to our satisfaction was truly remarkable. She didn't stop working for us until our purchase was complete, and we couldn't be happier with the result. I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking a real estate professional who goes the extra mile with unwavering dedication.”

Tireless Efforts - Industry Relationships
“Sandra helped us sell and then buy in a short time frame and in a hot market. There were many times when we felt intimidated by the fiercely competitive market, but Sandra kept her eyes on the prize and reminded us of our goal to live in a bigger home. Through her tireless efforts and established industry relationships, she got us into a new home we love and within our budget. I highly recommend Sandra for all your buying and selling needs.”
