SEAN SPANEK
Real Estate
Sean was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area and has been a licensed Realtor since 1999. As the son of an entrepreneurial family with a real estate legacy and brokerage dating back to 1969, Sean has established strong industry relationships, created by an abundant track record. He’s served countless software engineer clients from some of the most reputable Silicon Valley tech companies in the world, as well as business professionals from just about every industry imaginable. He’s also a Managing Partner with the #1 Pro Athlete real estate and relocation company in the country called SportStar Relocation. This niche has helped him secure his place as a preferred Realtor of the San Francisco 49ers and the San Francisco Giants for their executive management team, coaches, players and staff. Sean’s unique Realtor network touches “every” major real estate brand in the country which creates unmatched marketing exposure for his luxury listings, while simultaneously providing consistent “off market” access to his buyers and local home builders. Wealth firms from some of the most recognizable brands in the world also rely on Sean and his team to exclusively service their private and discreet clientele locally and nationally.
Sean’s also built a team of vendors who strive to save his clients’ money. These industry experts include inspectors, stagers, handymen, painters, electricians, landscapers, architects and many more. Knowledge, ethics, trust, mastered negotiation skills and hard work have all been Sean's perfect success recipe to create an ideal client experience. And while Sean is motivated by being mentioned as one of the top agents in the Silicon Valley, navigating his clients through the complex home buying and selling process, ultimately “winning the game” at the highest level is where Sean is truly fulfilled.
Eugene and Samantha Reyes – First Time Homebuyers
“We can't say enough positive things about Sean Spanek as our Realtor. From the moment we started our home-buying journey, Sean went above and beyond to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. One of the things that truly stood out was Sean's responsiveness. He was lightning fast in getting back to us, whether it was answering our questions or setting up viewings for potential homes. It's clear that he values his clients' time and wants to ensure they have all the information they need. What really impressed us, though, was Sean's dedication to understanding our specific needs and preferences. He took the time to sit down with us and listen carefully to what we were looking for in a house. It wasn't just about the number of bedrooms or bathrooms; he wanted to know our lifestyle, our must-haves, and even our wish-list items. And boy, did he deliver! Sean managed to find us a house that felt like it was custom-made for our family. It checked all the boxes and even included some delightful surprises we hadn't thought of. He didn't just find us a house; he found us a home where we could envision making countless memories. Throughout the entire process, Sean's expertise and knowledge of the housing market were evident. He guided us through negotiations and paperwork with ease, always keeping our best interests in mind. Thanks to Sean, what could have been a daunting and stressful experience turned into an exciting adventure. We're now proud first time homeowners, and we owe it all to his hard work, dedication, and genuine passion for what he does. If you're in the market for a Realtor who truly cares about finding you the perfect home and reducing the stress of home buying, look no further than Sean. We couldn't be happier with our experience, and we wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone embarking on their home-buying journey.”
Sam Hou – President/CIO, True Arrow Capital Management
“My wife and I met Sean and his father at an open house for one of their luxury listings in Saratoga and what immediately stood out to us was their honesty and full disclosure. There was a pretty unpleasant passing that had happened in the property a few years back and rather than hold back the details, Sean and his father told us the full story and left it up to us to decide our overall interest level in the property. We truly loved the layout of the home and while we were well aware of the passing, we had several remodel modifications we planned to make to eliminate any bad juju (so to speak). Even after closing escrow on the property the Spaneks never considered their work done and were always proving their value by providing reputable vendor resources to us to interview. We truly appreciated a first class experience!”
Travis Henry – Wealth Advisor, Cresset
“Our wealth advisor firm represents over 350 plus A-list celebs and entertainers nationwide, as well as high net worth individuals from all industries. We were introduced to Sean by the San Francisco Giants after learning he was their preferred Realtor for over a decade. While his experience and track record in the real estate industry obviously stood out, his national Realtor network covering every major city was highly intriguing to us. Our clients have very complex real estate portfolios and it’s important we give them accurate real-time data when they’re considering buying or selling a primary residence or investment property. Not only has Sean successfully helped numerous Bay Area clients of ours but he has been our go-to phone call when needing a top producing Realtor anywhere in the country. Because his network touches every major real estate brand in the country, he’s been able to help our clients maximize their exposure when selling and his off market access through those same brands has truly separated him from any other resource we’d ever consider. When we think about Sean, we don’t just think local….we think National!”
Jon Tattersall – President, Northern California, Thomas James Homes
“We were introduced to Sean by one of his real estate partners in Southern California at the end of 2018 just as we were opening our Northern California office in Redwood City. I personally had the task of handling all of the Bay Area acquisitions for Thomas James Homes in our first year and knew I needed the market knowledge and experience of a Realtor who could guide us on where to buy and why. The homes we ultimately build and sell require great neighborhoods with great schools and high demand with close proximity to all of the top Silicon Valley companies. Sean toured us through several up and coming neighborhoods near companies like Apple in Cupertino and Facebook in Menlo Park where we knew our home model would thrive and together we successfully closed over 20 transactions with him. His experience, off market access and attention to detail helped us scale quickly in the Bay Area and remain the #1 one-off home spec builder in the country.”
Jessica and Angeline Zucker – Family Members
“Sean was a no-brainer as our Realtor choice as he had already helped a number of our family purchase and sell properties in Santa Clara County. We decided to sell our home in Santa Clara during a very hot market and it was important we sold it for the highest absolute price since we were relocating our family to the Rocklin area. We had a great collective discussion with Sean to price our home “right on the money” which helped us achieve multiple offers and a sales price 100k higher than where we thought we would have ended up, purely off of his great negotiation skills. Because Sean’s Realtor network is nationwide he was also able to help us with our home purchase in Rocklin in a brand new community where we’ve really settled in. We can’t thank him enough and will continue to refer him to other friends and family.”
Player Engagement – San Francisco 49ers
“Not just any Realtor can work with a pro athlete. They have very unique time sensitive needs and Sean’s skillset was a match for our executive management team, players/wives, coaches and staff from day one. His white glove approach with countless referrals we’ve sent his way has been very appreciated and it’s great to know he’s our preferred SportStar Relocation resource locally and nationally. Players and their families really have to trust the experience level of their Realtor including the private and discreet nature of their home selling or buying journey and Sean has always understood that. His availability and off market home access have also been huge positives for our organization, especially when time is of the essence. He’s truly part of our 49er family.”
Sam and Alice Huang – Montessori Schools
“Sean has helped us with numerous sale and purchase investments in Santa Clara County for our real estate portfolio and what initially attracted us to him was his market knowledge and excellent communication skills. He also always seemed to have “the inside track” on what was coming to the market before anyone else and always priced our properties well when selling to attract multiple offers. His network is also second to none in our opinion as we truly felt our properties were exposed to unique buyers that other Realtors simply can’t reach, including pro athletes. We would highly recommend Sean to anyone who is considering selling or buying in the Bay Area.”
Andrew Fernandez – Apple
“My wife and I were introduced to Sean during one of the hottest selling markets in Bay Area history when the buyer competition was fierce. We shared our specific home buying criteria with Sean and he located the perfect “off market” home for our family in Saratoga, giving us total exclusivity to make a decision. In addition to a seamless escrow process and fantastic communication skills from start to finish, Sean was also invaluable with his trusted vendor home remodel resources. The equity upside with our purchase was also an unexpected bonus since we were able to avoid multiple offer activity. We’re excited to raise our young children in a home where they can walk to school and can’t thank Sean enough.”
