Choosing a Burlingame Real Estate Agent | 3 Agents to Consider

Say you've just decided to sell your house a few blocks off Burlingame Avenue. Or you're ready to buy your first home in town. Your first move is probably asking neighbors for a Burlingame real estate agent recommendation.

The names you hear will have reviews scattered across Zillow, brokerage pages and rankings like RealTrends. This guide brings together what public profiles show for Jenn Gilson, Raziel Ungar and Mike Bohnert. You'll see ratings, a recent local sale for each, real client words and a short list for your first call.

Who's the Right Real Estate Agent for Me in Burlingame?

Who's the right real estate agent for me in Burlingame? There's no single winner, but three good options are Jenn Gilson, Raziel Ungar and Mike Bohnert. It comes down to your home, your goals and the kind of help you want. All three are among the most active agents in town, and each has a long record of local sales.

What to Look for in Agent Reviews

Look Past the Star Rating

Stars blur together fast. The reviews that help most describe a real sale: the street, the timeline and the problem the agent solved.

A Steady Stream of Reviews Shows a Pattern

One great review could be luck. Dozens spread over many years point to a habit of good service.

Rankings and Recent Sales Show Results

Reviews tell you how clients felt. Rankings and closed sales show what the agent delivered. You want both before you choose.

Jenn Gilson | Golden Gate Sotheby's International Realty

Jenn Gilson works out of Golden Gate Sotheby's International Realty on Primrose Road in downtown Burlingame. She holds a 5.0 rating on 86 reviews on Zillow.

In the 2026 RealTrends Verified rankings, she places second among Burlingame agents by volume. That's $167.55 million across 38 sides in 2025. A 2026 press release on the ranking noted she's the highest ranked woman on the city list.

Her biggest recent deal sits just over the line in Hillsborough. She represented Villa de Verano, which closed for $70 million in August 2026, a record for that town.

A Burlingame owner who used her to find a tenant said she "got my home polished, posted, and rented quickly, and at top dollar."

A client selling a parent's home in 2025 wrote: "From day one, she was incredibly communicative, organized, and compassionate." She added that Jenn "brought so much kindness and calm to a situation that could have easily felt heavy and stressful."

Her family also founded Gilson Development, a builder, and her Zillow bio credits that background for her read on property values.

Raziel Ungar | Compass, The Raziel Ungar Team

Raziel Ungar leads The Raziel Ungar Team at Compass, with an office at 1440 Chapin Avenue. His team holds a 5.0 rating on 113 reviews on Zillow, the most among the agents in this guide. His profile lists 21 years of experience.

A recent sale on his profile is 2835 Hillside Drive in Burlingame. It sold for $3.95 million in September 2026, with his team on the seller side.

A 2026 Burlingame buyer wrote that "Raziel was incredibly knowledgeable about the Burlingame market, thoughtful and strategic when it came to negotiations, and had great relationships with other local agents."

A Burlingame seller that spring called the team "organized, proactive, and genuinely fun to work with."

His Compass profile describes him as the #1 Realtor in Burlingame every year since 2014.

Mike Bohnert | Coldwell Banker Realty

Mike Bohnert joined his father at Coldwell Banker's Burlingame office in 2001 and has worked from there since. RealTrends ranks him third in Burlingame by 2026 sales volume, with $120.08 million across 38.8 sides in the 2025 data. On Zillow, he has seven reviews and a 4.4 rating.

His profile shows a $3.2 million sale at 5 Belvedere Court in Burlingame, closed for the seller in early October 2026.

A Burlingame renter wrote, "He is very responsive and always helpful."

A local property owner added, "Mike is genuine, responsive and made sure any concerns we had about our rental property were addressed."

His Zillow bio says he was named Rookie of the Year for all of Northern California in his first full year.

What a RealTrends Verified Ranking Means

RealTrends Verified lists agents two ways: by sales volume and by transaction sides. Volume is the total dollar value of the deals an agent closed. Sides count each buyer or seller they represented, so one sale can be one side or two. The 2026 lists use 2025 sales data and show city, state and national ranks. A high volume rank with fewer sides often points to pricier homes. Ask each agent what their numbers say about the homes they handle.
