Don’s objective is to provide his clients with the highest quality of service available. From day one, he will work in your best interest in the purchase or sale of your home. His unique combination of business savvy and negotiating skills are guaranteed to get results:

“After my first phone conversation with Don, I knew I was making a good choice to go with him over the many other agents I’d been referred to. And that was just on the phone! After Patty and I met Don in person, we really felt we had a chance to buy a place in San Francisco. You just felt, ‘This guy is going to close a deal!’ And guess what? Don made things happen. But what makes Don really stand out from other agents is his personality. He’s your agent but he’s also your friend. Don makes you feel good about what you’re doing but he also lets you know his opinion. If you want the best player on your team, pick Don Woolhouse.” – Ross & Patty Stevenson

In addition to his real estate career, Don participates and works with a close associate in motivational and personal growth seminars.

Stefano is an energetic agent who draws upon his varied experience with property management, multi-unit real estate investment, and single-family home development to assist clients in looking at different options for buying and selling. Having bought and sold several of his own homes in San Francisco, he understands the opportunities and challenges of real estate in the city as well as how important each transaction is for everyone involved.

Stefano brings wide-ranging professional experience and extensive community involvement to his work in real estate. He previously taught social studies at a public high school. In addition to teaching, his professional experiences have included directing a national non-profit organization, guiding the formation of charitable foundation, performing as a professional musician, and researching and writing a book on international volunteerism. As part of his commitment to building stronger communities he makes a charitable donation at the close of every escrow to a community organization selected in consultation with his client.

As the son and grandson of San Franciscans, Stefano’s love of the city is in his blood. Currently a homeowner in Noe Valley, he has lived in several different parts of the city and has a deep appreciation and extensive knowledge of the city’s diverse neighborhoods. He enjoys working closely with people, and is just as comfortable helping a first time homebuyer get a foothold in the market as he is facilitating an experienced buyer purchasing a dream home.

Stefano is a graduate of both Stanford University and the University of California at Santa Cruz. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Politics and Community Studies as well as a Masters of Education and Single Subject Teaching Credential.

As his past experiences suggest, Stefano is a people-person who thrives in situations where he can facilitate and advocate for others.
