SellingYour Home
Whether you’re selling a single-family home, a condo, or a duplex, the fundamentals are the same — and I handle all of them personally:
- A professional market analysis grounded in real, comparable San Francisco sales
- A customized marketing plan, including professional photography, virtual tours, and extensive online exposure
- Honest guidance on what’s worth fixing or updating before listing, and what buyers will happily take on themselves
- Skilled negotiation from offer through closing
- Coordination of every detail of the transaction, so you have one point of contact throughout
Buyingin San Francisco
San Francisco’s market moves fast, and competitive offers require both preparation and local knowledge. I help buyers understand neighborhoods, pricing dynamics, and how to put together an offer that’s competitive without overextending.
- Guidance on neighborhoods, pricing, and property types across San Francisco
- Help preparing strong, competitive offers
- A steady, experienced presence through inspections, contingencies, and closing
Condominiums& Duplexes
Condos and duplexes each come with their own considerations. For condos, that means reviewing HOA documents and reserves; for duplexes, it’s understanding shared systems and coordinating around any existing tenants. Either way, I help buyers and sellers navigate the details clearly.
What My ClientsAre Saying
Preparation usually takes two to four weeks depending on how much cleanout, repair, or staging is involved, the active marketing period is typically two to four weeks, and escrow generally runs thirty days or fewer when a buyer is financing. Cash purchases can close considerably faster. The preparation stage is the part sellers most often underestimate.
Usually not fully. A fresh coat of paint and a thorough declutter accomplish most of what a larger remodel would for many properties, particularly older homes where the numbers on a renovation do not pencil out before closing. The right answer depends on the specific property and what buyers in that neighborhood expect, which is worth an honest walkthrough before committing to any spending.
By a market analysis built on real, comparable, recent sales rather than an automated online estimate. San Francisco pricing varies block to block, so the comparables have to be genuinely local to be meaningful. Pricing correctly at launch matters more here than in most markets, because the strongest buyer interest arrives in the first two weeks a home is on the market.
Most sellers complete a Transfer Disclosure Statement describing the property’s known condition, together with a Natural Hazard Disclosure Statement and other standard disclosures. San Francisco adds local requirements of its own. Sales by a fiduciary in a probate or trust administration are commonly exempt from the standard TDS, though the duty to disclose known material facts still applies. Getting disclosures right protects the seller after closing, not only during the sale.
A condo sale involves the HOA: buyers and their lenders will want to review governing documents, reserves, and any pending assessments, and problems there can affect financing. A duplex brings shared systems and, where a unit is occupied, tenant rights and coordination around showings. Both are routine, but both need to be handled earlier in the process than sellers usually expect.
Full loan pre-approval rather than pre-qualification, a clear sense of the neighborhoods and property types that fit, and disclosure packages reviewed before writing rather than after. Competitive offers here are as much about terms, timelines, and contingencies as they are about price.
This is a general overview, not legal or tax advice — every estate has its own facts, and a California probate attorney should guide the legal steps.
