About
This is arguably the most important purchase of your life. It's time to elevate what you expect from your agent. You deserve, and quite frankly, you can't afford anything less. Simply put, our team delivers this excellence....every day....every time!

I am a community member. I am a parent. I am a wife. And I am a homeowner. I understand what its like to make that purchase that will better define your life and the way you live.

My mission is to provide the BEST real estate experiences through a combination of high skill, and next-level tactics governed by the guiding principles of personal authenticity, community service, and respect for the human spirit. I joined Element Real Estate to manifest this vision and in doing so redefined what it means to be "a great agent".

I currently live in El Granada with my husband and two daughters. If you don't see me working the housing market, you surely will see me hiking our trails or putting my naked toes in the sand.

A big thank you to Shanti Minkstein for being the best real estate agent on the Coastside! She helped me navigate a major real estate transition after my divorce. Shanti supported me through both the sale of my previous home in Moss Beach and the purchase of my new home in Montara, and her professionalism, market expertise, and steady guidance made all the difference for me to feel supported and grounded throughout the whole process.

She was always available, always honest, and always looking out for my best interests. She talked me off the ledge quite a few times as a single parent buying my first home! Shanti is the perfect mix of knowledgeable and truly caring. If you’re trying to make a Coastside move happen, she’s the realtor you want in your corner.

Shanti understands the unique pace and details of buying and selling in Half Moon Bay, Moss Beach, and Montara, and she kept everything organized, clear, and moving forward. I highly recommend Shanti to anyone looking for a trusted realtor on the Coastside.

We had such a great experience working with Shanti! She made selling our home and buying our dream spot on the coast feel so much easier. Her kindness and flexibility really stood out, she was always ready to adjust plans or answer our questions, no matter what came up. She helped us feel confident every step of the way.

She’s super personable and easy to talk to, which made the whole process feel more like working with a friend than a realtor. Plus, her connections in the area really helped us get the inside scoop and access to great opportunities. She knows the market really well and helped us get great deals on both our sale and purchase.

If you want a realtor who’s smart, caring, and easy to work with, Shanti is the one to call. We’re beyond grateful for all her support!

We recently bought a house with the wonderful help from Shanti Minkstein, our Realtor, who helped us look across coastal areas such as Half Moon Bay and El Granada, to mountain areas like La Honda, Kings Mountain, Woodside, Skylonda, and eventually in the home we chose in Los Gatos. She is so warm, down to earth, and really understood what we were looking for. Shanti has helped our family with two home purchases now and we recommend her to anyone looking for a smart, efficient, and friendly realtor that will go to bat for you.

With housing affordabiliy as stretched as it is, here on the Coastside, the search can be daunting. The quest for the right home here is not for the faint of heart, so you'd best show up with a professional who knows the market, the players, the timing and the right strategy. Shanti Minkstein brought all that and much more. As a seasoned Half Moon Bay and Coastside realtor, Shanti brings her A-game. Throughout the process of a number of offers, she both guided and listened. When we got discouraged, she brought confidence. This lady has skills, and whether you're looking to buy or sell, I couldn't recommend her more highly.

We had to sell our Half Moon Bay house quickly, and did not want to undersell our house. Shanti knew exactly what we had to do, and helped us organize it all, quickly and efficiently. Our house sold above asking price in days! Seriously! It would not have happened without Shanti's expertise and all of her local contacts.
