Here is the information that is publicly available on your home. It shows key items such as square footage, last purchase, zoning information and legal owners.

It looks like your home could sell for $1.6M-$1.8M in today's market. This range is dependent on many factors including what upgrades and sales preparation are done to prepare the property for the market, as well as seasonality, buyer demand, interest rates and economic factors.

With COMPASS CONCIERGE, get fronted for the cost of home improvement services with no interest. COMPASS CONCIERGE is the hassle free way to sell your home faster and for a higher price with services like staging, flooring, painting, and more. 

Strategic renovations and thoughtful preparation can significantly enhance a property’s marketability and maximize its value. At 1909 Polo Court and 320 Millbrae Avenue, Unit 30, we identified and coordinated targeted improvements designed to create a stronger first impression and appeal to today’s buyers. From refreshed interiors and updated finishes to professional staging and presentation, each improvement was carefully selected with the market and potential return in mind. These transformations demonstrate how the right preparation, guided by a strategic marketing plan, can help a home stand out, generate greater buyer interest, and achieve the strongest possible outcome.

San Francisco’s housing market continues to stand out from the broader Bay Area and national trends, with demand being driven more by wealth creation and strong employment—particularly from the technology and AI sectors—than by mortgage rates alone. San Francisco’s median sale price is up approximately 25% year over year, while San Mateo County has seen nearly 10% growth, highlighting continued strength in the local market. Although elevated rates and economic uncertainty remain factors for buyers, low unemployment and continued job growth are supporting housing demand, with San Francisco seeing stronger momentum than several neighboring Bay Area markets.

Each home and each seller has different needs. Here are our standard listing options so you have an idea of the preparation items needed to prepare a property for the market. We can work out a custom option for you.

As a home seller, you have a wide range of choices when it comes to listing your home. NAR's recent settlement has led to several changes related to broker commissions that benefit sellers, and we wanted to clearly lay them out for you.

In order to begin working together, we would need to execute a signed listing agreement which includes an agency relationship, dual agency relationship, listing agreement, and an exclusion from MLS. Here is what the listing agreement looks like. There will be more paperwork that would need to be signed, but we use Docusign for your e-signature to make the signing process easy.

Every home and situation is different! Here is the Estimated Net at Closing at 3 Different Price Points ($1.6M, $1.7M, $1.8M). A few things that will adjust the numbers on these sheets: 1) It depends on which listing option you choose and if you want us to cover project management/staging costs/inspection reports, 2) There may be some additional work that needs to be done (renovation, landscaping, painting, etc).
