Bio
Lily Garipova is a Bay Area real estate professional representing buyers and sellers of residential and small-investment properties throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. With 11 years of California practice and 99 closed transactions totaling $105+ million in cumulative sales volume, Lily has built her practice as "The Meticulous Protector" — a buyer's and listing agent whose differentiator is the willingness to counsel clients away from a purchase when inspections, disclosures, or contract terms reveal long-term financial risk. Long-term client protection comes ahead of a faster closing.
Practicing through Centermac Realty Inc — a boutique Bay Area brokerage whose broker-of-record is also a licensed California real estate attorney — Lily provides her clients legal-grade transaction review without an outside attorney fee. She is bilingual in Russian (native) and English (fluent) and serves both populations natively across consultation, paperwork, and ongoing relationship.
Lily's practice spans the East Bay (Fremont, Castro Valley, Hayward, Concord, Walnut Creek, Union City, Pleasanton), South Bay/Silicon Valley (San Jose, Sunnyvale, Palo Alto), Peninsula, and San Francisco. With a recent 12-month average transaction price of $1.1-$1.2M and a career range of $365K-$2.8M, her practice is genuinely range-flexible — neither luxury-only nor starter-home volume.
Before transitioning to real estate in 2015, Lily co-founded About Your House, a Nantucket, Massachusetts property-management firm serving high-net-worth clients with investment and summer residences. Her prior career as a web developer and active membership in Women Who Code informs how she markets listings digitally and how she audits transactions for risk. She maintains 36 five-star Zillow reviews (5.0 average) and is a member of the National Association of REALTORS®, the California Association of REALTORS®, and the Silicon Valley Association of REALTORS® (SILVAR).
For Russian-speaking Bay Area buyers and investors, Lily Garipova operates as one of a small number of agents who can serve every touchpoint — consultation, paperwork, webinar education, and ongoing relationship — natively in Russian.
