Your day job doesn't disqualify you from the biggest write-off in real estate. Your property manager does.
1/ A million over asking isn't a fluke. It's the new floor for AI-liquid buyers in SF.
People keep waiting for the market to calm down. The market is not waiting for them.
3/ If your strategy is still "let's see what happens," you are already behind. The time to have a plan was before the bidding war. #SFRealEstate
2/ The buyers writing those checks are not speculators. They are engineers and early employees with real equity and no patience for hesitation.
Flipping SF homes sounds smart. The margin usually isn't.
Rent it, hold it, borrow against it. That's the play. #SFRealEstate

A 1031 exchange lets you sell a rental and owe zero in taxes that day. Most SF founders never use it. Selling your company is the starting gun, not the finish line. #SFRealEstate #1031

In SF luxury real estate, location missteps compromise asset value and quality of life. Generic reports lack the granular intelligence critical for strategic advantage. Our advisory delivers precise insights, transforming potential pitfalls into definitive gains. #SFRealEstate
San Francisco's luxury market isn't merely resilient; it's actively defying Bay Area trends. While regional segments cool, SF's top-tier properties sustain robust demand and appreciating values. A distinct market anomaly requiring precise insight.

The Guardian says SF home prices are "ridiculous."
I say year one.
$2.15M median. AI money everywhere. The biggest IPOs haven't even hit yet.
Everyone waiting for the crash is about to watch luxury run away from them. #SFRealEstate
1/ "Renting in SF is cheaper than buying." Sure. This month.
A one-bedroom is ~$4,000 and still climbing. Rent buys you flexibility. Up 20% YoY. It never buys you the asset.
2/ Owning costs more in month one. Nobody serious argues otherwise. But "cheaper in March" was never the question. The question is: where are you in five years?
3/ Rent is a payment. A mortgage in a supply-starved city is a position. Waiting for it to "pencil out monthly" is how people rent their whole life. Positioning beats timing. #SFRealEstate
1/ $32M in San Francisco trophy homes traded this month. The two biggest never touched Zillow or Redfin. Off-market, no public listing. If you're only searching online, you're seeing the leftovers.
3/ The best deals in this market move through relationships, not search bars. Not a pitch, just how a low-supply market works. If you want in before it's public, that's the whole job.
Want to see the one that was on the market? The Colgate Mansion, 924 Grove St in Alamo Square. Listed around $6.8M, sold for $7.5M in a matter of weeks.
Here's the listing 👇

2/ The one that was listed? The Colgate Mansion on Alamo Square. Asked ~$6.8M, sold for $7.5M in a matter of weeks. Roughly $700K over. Good inventory is scarce, and it does not sit.
1/ Hot take: San Francisco isn't dying. It's about to be more expensive than it has ever been. And the people who left will spend the next few years pretending they saw it coming.
2/ We're roughly one year into what these cycles usually run: about five. SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic haven't even hit the public markets yet. That liquidity has to live somewhere.
3/ The "doom loop" headlines were the buy signal. If you're holding tech equity and still renting, you already know what I'm going to say. My DMs are open. #SanFrancisco #RealEstate
