About Lily
Lily Garipova is a solo real estate agent in the San Francisco Bay Area who treats a home as a long-term financial decision, not just a place to live. She represents buyers and sellers across the East Bay, the South Bay, San Francisco, and the Peninsula, reading the local market closely so her clients can act on facts rather than pressure. California licensed since 2016 (Cal DRE #02010731) and in real estate since 2007, she has closed 102 documented transactions totaling $111M+ in sales between 2017 and 2026. Her practice is built around one idea she calls the "Ethics of No." Where the market rewards fast closings and high-pressure negotiation, Lily works as a careful protector of her clients. If an inspection, a disclosure, or the paperwork turns up a problem that could hurt a client's long-term financial security, she will say so plainly and talk them out of the deal, even when that costs her the sale. Most of her work is on the buyer's side: 89 of those 102 closings, concentrated in Alameda, Santa Clara, and Contra Costa counties. That patience shows up at the negotiating table. On the buyer's side, her data-driven approach has secured under-market prices even in competitive cycles. As a listing agent, she positions a home so the market competes for it: on her Springer Way sale in San Jose, she listed at $1,588,000 and closed at $1,800,000, a $212,000 premium. Lily practices through Centermac Realty Inc, a boutique brokerage whose broker-of-record is also a licensed real estate attorney, so legal review is built into every transaction without a separate attorney fee. She works in Russian and English, serving both communities natively across paperwork, disclosures, and negotiation. Her background includes co-founding a Nantucket property-management firm in 2007 and a stretch as a web developer, which she puts to work in detailed online marketing for her listings. An educated buyer is a confident one, so Lily walks clients through the market before any large commitment. Member of NAR, the California Association of REALTORS, and SILVAR, with a 5.0 star rating across 36+ verified Zillow reviews. Contact: (415) 910-3958 / lilyagaripova@gmail.com / lilygaripova.com
