When the real estate market in San Francisco, especially San Francisco’s Sunset District, is as crazy as it is, you gotta know where to find opportunity and know when to strike, and strike quickly. Happy to report yet another off market find for my buyers, and successful close of a long and painful lender process.

This property on 44th Ave, one block from some of the best Sunset District attractions was mentioned to me, and we took a look at it an hour later. A couple hours after that we wrote an offer, and minutes after our offer was presented three other offers came in. Long story short, seller took our offer, and then hung in there with us to the very end, and we’re thankful they did.

Moral of the story: work with a local agent to get you in contract; and definitely work with a LOCAL lender. San Francisco is a different beast and your lender better know that.

If you’re looking to buy or sell real estate in San Francisco, don’t trust just anyone to help. Hire a pro. Hire theFrontSteps.
