Selling your home and moving out of San Francisco.

Selling here while you land somewhere else

Leaving San Francisco adds a second market and a lot of logistics to an already big decision. The two main questions are how to time your sale against wherever you are going, and how to manage the move itself without paying for two homes longer than you need to.

Timing two markets

If you are buying where you land, you are coordinating a San Francisco sale with a purchase in a market that may move on a completely different rhythm. We plan the sequence, sell first, buy there first, or bridge, around your finances and your timeline, the same way as selling to buy locally, just across a longer distance.

Your net, and the tax angle of leaving

Start with your net proceeds, including the seller-paid San Francisco transfer tax and the primary-residence capital gains exclusion. Changing your state of residence can also have tax implications worth raising with your CPA before you sell, not after.

Is it really San Francisco you are leaving, or the west side?

Sometimes the pull is for more space or sun rather than a different region entirely. If you are weighing nearby alternatives, the comparisons in San Francisco vs. Marin and San Francisco vs. the Peninsula may reframe the decision before you commit to a longer move.

Selling remotely, handled

Plenty of my sellers are already gone, or about to be, when their home lists. I manage prep, vendors, and the sale on the ground so you can focus on your next place, not on coordinating contractors from afar.
