Off-Market Access

See San Francisco homes before they are listed.

A meaningful share of the city’s best homes change hands quietly, through relationships rather than listings. If you only watch the public sites, you are seeing what is left.

How a quiet sale actually works

An owner is ready to move but not ready to be on the market. No sign, no open house, no photographs circulating. The house is mentioned between agents who have worked together for years, and it sells to whichever buyer is already standing there.

Nothing about that process is secretive. It is simply faster than public marketing, and it rewards being known to the right people before the moment arrives.

A recent one

519 Hickory Street

3 Beds  |  3 Baths  |  Purchased off market

My buyers were in the room before anyone else arrived. We negotiated from there, with no competing offers to bid against, and closed at more than $400,000 below the original asking price.

What happens when you register

  • We have one short conversation about what you are actually looking for, including the things you would not put in a search filter.
  • You hear from me when something fits, before it is publicly listed, not as a mass email.
  • Nothing else. No drip campaign, no automated alerts, no passing your details on.
