What buyers and sellers ask me most about San Francisco real estate
Cole Valley, Ashbury Heights, Noe Valley, Eureka Valley, Dolores Heights, NoPa, Hayes Valley, Bernal Heights, Parnassus Heights. Not the whole Bay Area, not citywide averages. Block-level knowledge, built over 26 years living here.
Yes. San Francisco's process moves fast: disclosures, contingencies, competitive bids. I walk you through what's coming before it happens, not after.
Skipping the inspection to win a bid faster. Underestimating HOA dues, transfer tax, and special assessments on condos. Both are avoidable with the right prep before you're mid-negotiation.
Current comps, not last year's, and not the citywide median. What's active on your specific block right now, and what it tells us about timing.
Negotiation and marketing. I spent two decades in marketing before real estate, working with brands like Rolling Stone and San Francisco Magazine. That shows up in how your listing gets presented and how I negotiate on your behalf.
Yes. CA DRE# 01894439. Vanguard Properties, San Francisco.
