$1 for $1 Match When You Donate To Protect Our Winters

thefrontsteps Leave a comment

In case you don’t follow me on Instagram, I thought I’d share this “Giving Tuesday” pledge here too, after all, ’tis the season of giving, and I’m giving $2500 to Protect Our Winters (POW). I want you to give too, so I can match your donations (up to another $2500)!

Spread the word, check out Protect Our Winters, and donate by following this link. It is a pledge for “Giving Tuesday”, but I don’t care if you donate today or in 3 months…I’ll match it. Just mention theFrontSteps (you can add it to your first or last name) when you donate, and consider it done.

As a reminder, not only am I donating to POW in this pledge, but I give 1% of ALL closed transactions back to the planet through 1% for the Planet, so let’s get some property sold and keep breathing fresh air, surfing clean oceans, and skiing great mountains without man-made snow!

Had to just do a quick blog post to congratulate the buyers and sellers of this sweet little gem I just sold off market.

Another amazing off market opportunity for my dear readers…not going on MLS for a few weeks, but definitely available for immediate purchase and viewing.

Like some of my other listings at the moment, this is off market, so we don’t have pictures to share. You gotta see it in person.

SOLD! | Haight Ashbury Victorian | $1,500,000

thefrontsteps Leave a comment

This is one of those properties that took me for a whirl. We spent 5 weeks of marketing and open houses before getting an offer. I had countless calls and showings, but ultimately the property did not sell where we expected ($1,650,000 or more). In the end, sellers are happy and moving on, and buyers are thrilled. Did the market hiccup right around the time we listed, or did the “Summer Doldrums” come early? Time will tell…stay tuned by following theFrontSteps.

This turn of the century Top Floor two plus bedroom, two bathroom, south facing Victorian Condominium checks all the boxes in the most ideal Upper Haight/Ashbury location.

I’ll get back to blogging about our exciting, confusing, astounding, basically mind-boggling real estate market soon enough, but for now I’m pleased to have represented the buyers of this really incredible Outer Parkside home (not like any you’ve seen out that way) at 2695 43rd Ave.

The Pacific Ocean greets you every day: smell the salt air and soak in the sun! Open, updated and filled with natural light!

SOLD | 2695 43rd Ave | Outer Parkside | $1,710,000
2695 43rd Ave | $1,710,000

Approaching this 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom corner-lot in the Outer Parkside, you will take in the simple, clean, and streamlined Art Deco lines. On the main level the ultimate chef’s kitchen is fully equipped with Thermador and Bosch appliances; a U-Line wine cooler; a counter-depth built-in refrigerator; and a pot filler wall faucet. Intelligently selected tech systems give you the custom home edge with Nest 3 thermostats; a Ring Pro video doorbell; Schlage keyless entry; solar panel system and more! Exceptionally efficient floor plan, 6 skylights, hardwood flooring and very high ceilings, deck, firepit and garden.

We closed a couple weeks ago now, and my clients couldn’t be happier.

$1,150,000 Ocean Views On San Francisco’s Ocean Beach

thefrontsteps Leave a comment

I have officially wrapped up another Ocean View (Ocean Beach) listing, in which we knocked it out of the park for sure. Congratulations to my friend/client on the successful sale of this wonderful top floor condo where the city ends and the great Pacific Ocean begins. Multiple offers were received, but there can always only be one winner.

Got a place in the ‘hood with similar views? Call me, I have a buyer for you. :-)

From the marketing…

Situated at the edge of the city (and continent for that matter), this top floor two bedroom, one bathroom condominium is supremely located for the outdoor enthusiast, lover of incredible views and ocean life, or person looking for sanctuary in our bustling city (yet easy access to Downtown, Southern, and Northern commutes).

Four Testimonials I Just Had To Share

thefrontsteps Leave a comment

It’s always nice to know all of this hard work isn’t going unnoticed. My clients, friends, and family are the best, and I couldn’t do anywhere near the amount of sales I do without everyone in my circle…that includes my awesome readers/followers. Usually I post testimonials one at a time, but since my excellent clients just hooked me up all at once, here you go…

Alex is a rock star! He guided us through selling our house off-MLS, which we preferred, and found us the perfect buyer offering a quick close. This was a first-time house sale for us, and Alex answered all our questions patiently, promptly, and thoroughly. We couldn’t be happier!
-Ricki Ellen and Charly

Alex is as good as it gets! It was a pleasure working with him to purchase our large San Francisco investment Property. He is extremely professional, has clear communication, clearly laid out important dates of the transaction and made sure we were taken care of. Would recommend Alex Clark to anyone looking to sell or purchase a home in the San Francisco area and beyond as he is very knowledge about San Francisco and the outer areas.
-Leslie Kanis

Alex is a blessing to the Church Of The Living God PG of T. His personal, hands on approach helped me as well as our church members feel comfortable with the whole process of selling the Church and all that would be required from us. His professional attitude helped us get through periods of uncertainty during the process. He also went to great lengths to get us the time we needed to prepare for the move that will be required. I am proud to have him be apart of the COTLG family. Thanks Alex for all that you do.
God bless
-Pastor McBride, Mary Nelson

As an investor in San Francisco, I have relied on Alex to bring me quality projects. He is incredibly well connected in the SF Real Estate community and knows how to get stuff done. His laid back demeanor makes him very easy to work with, however he is tenacious in his negotiating and works super smart on his client’s behalf. He is always willing to take my call and responds to questions quickly. I have never had to worry about the deal getting done or whether Alex is working in my best interest. This is definitely a life long partnership.

Mark A. Harris

As always, I am open 24/7 for your business. If you’re thinking of buying/selling in the San Francisco Bay Area, feel free to give me a shout.

If you’re still on the fence, have a look at some more testimonials.
