Get To Know Ilana

Ilana is a top producing REALTOR® having reached the top 1.5% of REALTORS® nationwide. She is a distinguished San Francisco resident, boasting over twenty-four years of intimate connection with the city, rendering her an unparalleled authority in local real estate. As a second-generation REALTOR®, she inherits a legacy of excellence from her father, a prominent figure in the real estate realm of the US Caribbean for over thirty years. Her DNA is infused with a passion for real estate and a relentless pursuit of exceptional service.
 
Prior to immersing herself in real estate, Ilana honed her skills in the competitive world of marketing, lending her expertise to prestigious brands such as Rolling Stone, Starwars, Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and San Francisco Magazine over two decades. Armed with a Bachelor's degree in Communications from the University of Florida, she brings a distinctive blend of marketing acumen and strategic insight to the real estate arena.
 
Ilana distinguishes herself through her tenacity, mastery of negotiation, unwavering integrity, and meticulous attention to detail, consistently delivering outstanding results for her clients. Beyond her real estate prowess, she embodies resilience as a two-time cancer survivor and channels her strength into philanthropic endeavors, actively volunteering and fundraising for multiple cancer survivorship organizations and advocating for rescue dogs, particularly through her efforts with Family Dog Rescue, where is a board member.
 
With Ilana, every real estate transaction transcends mere business; it symbolizes a meaningful step toward a brighter future. A portion of each transaction supports Family Dog Rescue, reflecting her dedication to making a difference. When not engaged in real estate or philanthropy, Ilana can be found exploring the city, wine country, and beyond with her cherished 10lb canine companion, JoJo Wigglebutt.
 
Ilana's mission is unequivocal: to redefine the standard of working with a real estate agent. Whether navigating a first home purchase or the sale of a tenth property, her commitment is unwavering to not only meet but exceed expectations. For Ilana, the goal extends beyond a single transaction; it's about fostering enduring partnerships in real estate for life.
