Every neighborhood buys differently. Find the one that fits before you tour.
What your search includes
- A curated short list. Homes matched to your budget, preferred neighborhoods and must-haves, not every listing in the area.
- New listings first. Sent the day they reach the market, before weekend showings fill up.
- Price reduction alerts. Every reduction in your areas, so you know when a home comes into range.
- Offer strategy. Guidance on what to offer and how to compete without overpaying.
What buyers in these neighborhoods are running into this week.
The Asking Price Means Little
Some homes are priced to draw a crowd and some are priced to sit. I will tell you which one you are looking at before you write anything.
Houses And Condos Act Differently
A single family house in Potrero Hill and a condo or TIC in SoMa do not follow the same rules. Your plan should match what you are actually buying.
You Keep Hearing No
Losing in multiple offers wears people down fast. Tell me how you lost the last one and we will write the next one differently.
Before you get started.
Why not just use the search apps?
Search apps show what is listed. They do not tell you which homes are priced to sell, which will sit, or what similar homes nearby actually closed for. Mike does, and hears about new listings as they reach the market.
What exactly will I receive?
A short list of homes that match your budget, neighborhoods and must-haves, alerts for new listings and price reductions, and guidance when you are ready to make an offer.
Is there a cost or any obligation?
None. The list and the alerts are free, and requesting them does not commit you to anything.
Do I need to be pre-approved?
Not to get started. If you are not yet, Mike can introduce you to trusted local lenders, so you are ready when the right home appears.
Will my information be kept private?
Yes. Your answers go only to Mike and are used solely to prepare your search. They are never sold or shared with third parties.
How soon will I hear back?
Most buyers receive their first list within one business day.
Mike Needham
I am Mike Needham, a Realtor® with Coldwell Banker Realty. I work with buyers across Potrero Hill, Sunnyside, Hayes Valley and Lower Haight, the Sunset and Parkside, Lone Mountain and Laurel Heights, SoMa and the neighborhoods around them.
In San Francisco the list price is often a marketing strategy, not a statement of value. I read comparable sales, buyer demand and how a home is positioned, then tell you what it is actually worth to you. I spent more than a decade in multifamily real estate accounting, so the numbers side of a purchase is where I am most useful.
Take the quiz and I will read your answers myself, pull the homes that fit, and text you. If nothing is worth your Saturday this week, I will say that too.
