“Successful negotiation is not about getting to ‘yes’; it’s about mastering ‘no’ and understanding what the path to an agreement is… The secret to gaining the upper hand in a negotiation is to give the other side the illusion of control.” – Christopher Voss, former FBI hostage negotiator
Moving your home forward in the sales process from marketing to being in escrow with a signed purchase contract requires you to review and accept an offer or offers. Negotiating on your behalf for the best price and terms is perhaps the most critical part of our job. Which is why it helps that we love to do it!
Market conditions will dictate the approach we agree upon to handle offers and negotiations. From time-limited marketing periods with an offer date to reviewing offers as presented, we’ve created a strategy and negotiated for sellers in every type of market and can provide you with the best advice for your situation.

When people ask us if we’ve seen a property or know a neighborhood, the answer is nearly always a resounding YES, because we live, breathe and eat real estate in San Francisco.
We understand that San Francisco is not an easy market, regardless of the direction it is moving. Because we’ve been through the cycles and know the City, we understand how to use market dynamics to our seller’s advantage. We know not just what’s on sale today, but what’s coming and which developments will affect your property values. That enables us to position your property against neighborhood competitors at the right price and the right time — even if the market is super-heated or headed into a swoon.
We strive to go beyond the standard client/agent relationship; our clients become our friends and neighbors. We don’t just care about getting a transaction done and moving on, never to be heard from again. From monitoring the market to answering questions as they arise, we’re there. Always.
We are expert negotiators. We understand which levers to pull to make a deal happen in San Francisco. In a room full of sweet offers, we can advise you how to make it sweeter. Yet we’re more than sharks; we won’t compromise our principles, or our client’s financial health, to make a deal.
Speed and who you know matter.
