Buying in San Francisco requires more than access to listings. It takes clear strategy, local perspective, and steady guidance from the first conversation through closing.
With a boutique brokerage model, Kathy offers attentive representation tailored to each client rather than a one-size-fits-all process. The result is a more informed search, stronger decision-making, and calm advocacy when it is time to write, negotiate, and close.
When a home costs well over a million dollars, small terms make a big difference. A shorter contingency period, a stronger loan approval or a clear conversation with the listing agent can decide which buyer gets the keys. With more than 15 years in residential and commercial real estate, Kathy knows how listing agents think, what sellers worry about, and how to shape an offer that answers those worries before they are asked.
• Offer strategy built on data. Recent comparable sales, days on market, disclosure packages and the number of expected offers guide your price and terms.
• Direct talks with the listing agent. Kathy calls before you write, so you learn what the seller values most: price, timing, a rent back or certainty.
• Calm guidance under pressure. You get clear advice on when to stretch, when to hold and when to walk away.
