When it comes to success in the competitive San Francisco real estate market, nothing is more important than sound training. With more than thirty years of experience in the real estate business between them, the partnership of Karen Duggan and Ronni Garfield offers the most reliable, well-rounded service in the industry.

As agents with San Francisco based McGuire Real Estate, Duggan and Garfield chose to pool their impressive talents in an effort to offer home sellers and buyers a balanced and comprehensive service. Their efforts have paid off in a variety of ways. From Live/Work Loft Developments in the South Beach Area to investment properties in Presidio Heights, these two agents have established themselves as a team that can be trusted.

As Top Producers at McGuire, the team has been recognized among the “Top 10 Real Estate Agents in the City” by the San Francisco Business Times and were most recently noted in an article titled “Residential Real Estate Deals of the Year.” Duggan and Garfield easily exceeded the efforts of many of their colleagues, selling more than 70 million dollars of San Francisco real estate in the past eighteen months. They are well known for selling “Showcase” properties and have succeeded in obtaining unprecedented sale prices for their listings.

Duggan and Garfield’s service is unique; by partnering they are available for their clients virtually twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. They are quick to stress that when one has the day off, the other is always available. “By simply offering better service, we have been able to increase our success rate exponentially,” says Karen Duggan. “Our colleagues are very qualified and able, but they simply cannot cover the ground that my partner and I, working together, can cover”.

Duggan and Garfield came together shortly after meeting in a Merrill Lynch training program sixteen years ago. Both energetic and hard workers, individually they had been putting in an average of 60 hours per week before starting their partnership. While the results were fabulous, both Garfield and Duggan felt they were being drained of vital energy. The two were correct in thinking that by combining their talents they could accomplish more and offer more to their clients.

“In addition to great service, it’s important to know we are also consistent; says Ronni Garfield, "when either Karen or I begin working with a client, that person is the client’s primary contact. The key to our service is that when one of us is not available, the other can always be reached. It’s more like we’re a company within a company.”

Together Duggan and Garfield offer their clients expert advice on property selection, marketing, contract negotiations, inspections, and home finance.
