(vēvr') v. [Fr.] to live; to experience.

"Vivre" is a French verb meaning "to live and to experience life." Their name reflects the joy they feel as they assist clients in making intelligent, thoughtful real estate choices about their home and investment portfolio, whether this is their first or 30th real estate transaction.

Vivre Real Estate isn’t your typical real estate firm—and that’s by design. Founded by top-producing agent Danielle Lazier, Vivre is a boutique San Francisco-based brokerage that blends local expertise, personalized strategy, and a design-forward sensibility to help clients navigate one of the most competitive markets in the country. With deep roots in the city’s unique neighborhoods and architecture, the firm stands out for its commitment to authenticity, education, and client experience.

Whether helping a first-time buyer land a condo in Noe Valley, or preparing a meticulously marketed sale of a mid-century modern home in Bernal Heights, Vivre Real Estate is known for a refined, personal touch. At its core, the firm believes real estate is about more than transactions—it’s about helping people live well, wherever they are.

Philosophy

Vivre Real Estate approaches every client relationship with clarity, empathy, and intention. Their mission is to demystify the real estate process while delivering elevated results. The team understands that buying or selling a home is one of life’s biggest decisions—and they treat it with the care it deserves. Their approach combines hard data with intuitive guidance, design-savvy marketing with honest advice, and a local's understanding of the city with a global-level professionalism.

Above all, they believe that real estate should feel empowering—not overwhelming. This ethos has earned them the trust of generations of clients, and positioned them as one of the city’s most respected boutique brokerages.

Team + Recognition

Led by Danielle Lazier, a San Francisco Realtor with over two decades of experience and more than $1B in closed sales, Vivre is powered by a team of collaborative, creative professionals. Agents like Robyn Kaufman, Joshua Ortiz, and Katie Funk Moss bring diverse expertise across design, negotiation, marketing, and client care—allowing the firm to support a broad range of buyer and seller needs with equal precision.

In 2023, Vivre was named one of California’s Top Small Teams by RealTrends + Tom Ferry’s America’s Best Real Estate Professionals list—an achievement that reflects both their volume and their consistency.

Expertise in Mid-Century and Architecturally Distinct Homes

While Vivre works across all property types, the firm is particularly attuned to homes with architectural pedigree—especially mid-century modern residences, vernacular Victorians, and thoughtfully renovated urban homes. Their deep appreciation for design and sense of place shines through in the way they market and position each listing, with customized staging, compelling narratives, and buyer education built into every sale.

Community + Content

Vivre’s impact goes beyond property lines. Their website, blog, and newsletter are filled with accessible, insight-rich resources: from neighborhood guides and market forecasts to articles about San Francisco architecture, buying strategies, and local lifestyle.

The firm’s commitment to education and transparency is part of what sets them apart. They believe clients deserve not just results—but context, confidence, and a sense of partnership along the way.
