  • Places in Weird Places
    Above a Bar? In the middle of an industrial neighborhood? Off a lobby? Through a garage? What are some of the weirder places you would live? Is hiring a crane to move your furniture in a deal breaker? Give a San Franciscan a little bit of space, and pretty soon you'll have a pretty awesome home. San Franciscan's are creative urban dwellers, and we chat about a few of the more challenging places and spaces where people live in San Francisco. 


    Show Notes:
    No links to share for properties above bars at 16th and Guerrero, but if that's what you are looking for, let us know!

    Buildings with homes off the lobby:

    45 Lansing - TheJasper,

    77 Dow - Dow Place
    What's for sale at The Infinity:
    Mentioned in the context of the BMR units built at 888 7th and 1600 Market St. 


    What's for sale at 888 7th: 
    A large development that consists primarily of BMR homes with some market rate homes. 


    What's for sale in Noe Valley?
    That cottage on Clipper? That's a Noe Valley address - here's everything else on the market right now in Noe Valley. 


    Bye Felicia!
    Episode 4 of our podcast  - where we talk about a BMR sale that was also a foreclosure with an out of area listing agent - comes up towards the end when we talk about BMR developments. 

    Over the years we've some some homes in interesting places. When you live in a city where space is a premium, people try their best not to waste space. Creative uses of space lead to some very creative homes, but not all of the creative solutions will work for everyone. Would you like a home directly above a nightclub? Behind another home? In a development that is primarily below market rate? Surrounded by industrial lots? 

    We hope you enjoy Episode 09 of Escrow Out Loud, San Francisco Real Estate Stories.

  • Cash Changes Everything
    Cash changes everything. Why do sellers like cash offers? If all sales are all-cash to the seller at the end of the day (one of Britton's least favorite sayings), what's the difference? In this episode of Escrow Out Loud, our San Francisco Real Estate podcast, we look at all cash offers for San Francisco homes. From the dynamics of an individual purchase to the way a competitive market changes in response to cash offers: cash changes everything. Here's a 2012 blog post we wrote about how cash changes everything for everyone as well. 
    Episode 08 - Cash Changes Everything
    September 6, 2017


    If you are a buyer in a competitive situation and you are financing your purchase, please visit California contractor bond because how can you compete against an all cash offer? Is it even worth trying? If you are a buyer and you are making an all cash offer, will you typically receive a discount in San Francisco? Does the highest offer always win in San Francisco? 

    An offer to purchase consists of price and terms, and when one of those terms is cash, not only does that particular transaction run a little differently, but the overall market is impacted as other non-cash buyers taht are financing their purchase with a loan adapt their offer terms and prices to compete. 

    Cash changes everything, and we hope you enjoy listening along to this episode of Escrow Out Loud, our San Francisco real estate podcast. Yes, we've got a website with listings, but we know that doesn't mean much in 2017. From our podcast to our YouTube playlists This Week in San Francisco Real Estate and San Francisco Real Estate Q and A, we hope you'll take the time to research us to see if we are the right fit for your next move in San Francisco.

  • Elevator Kryptonite
    In this episode - Elevators! As a little kid, Matt wasn't much of a fan of elevators. As a little person, he still isn't. City life is a vertical life here in San Francisco, and every broker's tour or property tour involves lots of stairs and typically a few elevators. From historic old buildings with accordion-style safety gates that you latch yourself, to the most modern of elevators that whisk you to the stars so quickly your ears will pop! Hop on, this episode of Escrow Out Loud is going up!


    Episode 07: Elevator Kryptonite


    What elevators in San Francisco are the fastest? The oldest and coolest? The saddest and most tragic? From the high-speed marvels at One Rincon Hill to the 1920s classics in art-deco buildings, SF has some very cool and unique elevators. SF also has some elevators that fail to elevate as promised, and in this podcast, we dedicate ourselves to an exploration of San Francisco. One elevator at a time.

    Links to neighborhoods and buildings mentioned in this episode:

    One Rincon Hill

    Park Hill Condos

  • It’s About Time
    In this episode - It's About Time! Time is of the essence, and weekends and holidays count! A real estate offer has two basic components - price and terms. OTime is one of the most important terms in a real estate offer, and timing is to the offer process as location is to the actual home. In other words, while life in your new home might be all about location, location, location, making a deal happen (or not happen) it often about timing, timing, and timing!


    Episode 06: It's About Time


    How long should it take to find a home during a San Francisco home search? What's the shortest home search we've ever had with a client? What's the longest home search? How long is an escrow in San Francisco? What's the longest and shortest escrow we've had? Time is of the essence, so we made a little time to talk about some of the more interesting stories involving time, and it's essence, from our years in San Francisco real estate.

  • Bigger Than A Boat
    In this episode - it's all relative! No, this isn't a science podcast where we discuss Einstein's theory of relativity. This is a San Francisco real estate podcast where homes in San Francisco look large because, in relative size, homes in San Francisco are generally bigger than a boat.


    Episode 05: Bigger Than A Boat


    If you've been spending your months on the high seas, a one-bedroom home in San Francisco might seem downright spacious. In this episode, we chat about working with The Sailors - clients that were ready to put down anchor in San Francisco. Bonus guest star appearance from one of the most adorable property types around - a one-bedroom single family home.

  • BMRs say Bye, Felicia!
    In this episode of our San Francisco real estate podcast Escrow Out Loud with Matt Fuller and Britton Jackson we discuss Below Market Rate homes (BMR) in San Francisco. This podcast looks back at a particular transaction at a particular point in time (2012) with a particular agent that we shall name... Felicia!


    Episode 04: Bye Felicia!


    Below Market Rate homes are condo homes in San Francisco with very particular and specific requirements around buyer eligibility and sales price. In this episode we look back at a particular sale that happened during the downturn, when a BMR was a foreclosure and the listing agent was an out-of-area agent. Fun things happened and friendships were made before the deal even began.... or not!

  • Buyers Are Liars? Or it Just Rhymes?
    Episode 03: Buyers Are Liars?


    It's a slogan we've heard out of mouths both cynical and not in real estate: Buyers are Liars. Is it true, or is it like the lego movie suggests: It is so because it rhymes? ** (Matt can't quote movie lyrics verbatim.)

    So I ask Britton - is that her experience? And with a variety of great stories (in our humble opinion) we explore if it is true that buyers or liars, or if the truth is a lot more innocent but less rhyming?

  • You Never Know: Escrow Out Loud, Episode 02
    You Never Know, Episode 02. Welcome to this edition of our San Francisco real estate podcast with team co-founders Matt Fuller and Britton Jackson.


    Episode 02: You Never Know
    It's a truism in real estate that You Never Know. What can happen when you go to the dog park? In San Francisco real estate, you never know! Will you find a stray dog? a new client? a business partner?

    What can happen when you go to the dog park? In San Francisco real estate, you never know! Will you find a stray dog? a new client? a business partner?

    What can happen when you park your car in the mission? In San Francisco real estate, you never know. Britton might meet a new client, might show off one of her many Realtor super-powers, or demonstrate the value of showing up a few minutes early instead of a few minutes late!

    What can happen when you are on your way to the real estate office? In San Francisco traffic, you never know. Accidents can happen and in the process of doing her civic duty, Britton inadvertently gives something away and has to go on quite a walk to track it down.

    What can happen when you're walking down the street and see some guy and his dogs that sound familiar? When your brother-in-law suggests you keep your eye out for some guy and his dogs, what do you yell when you think you see them while randomly walking down the street in Noe Valley?

    If you didn't catch Episode 1 of our San Francisco real estate podcast, then we hope you'll begin at the beginning and listen in from the very first episode.

  • Escrow Out Loud: Begin at the Beginning

    We've seen some fascinating things over the decades we've spent helping buyers and sellers buy and sell San Francisco real estate. Without revealing names, addresses, or other identifying details, this San Francisco real estate podcast will pull the curtain back just a bit to give you an inside look at San Francisco real estate purchases and sales. From the Mission to the Excelsior (where each of us sold our first homes) to Pacific Heights, Nob Hill, Russian Hill, South Beach and beyond, these are real San Francisco real estate stories. Press play above or subscribe below.




    From the Mission to the Excelsior (the neighborhoods where each of us sold our first homes) to Pacific Heights, Nob Hill, Russian Hill, South Beach and beyond (of our many neighborhoods, we've sold in almost all of them), these are true San Francisco real estate stories. Press play below or subscribe with your favorite podcast app below:




    Our goal is to deliver insight with every interaction. If we can get you to say - out loud - “I never would have thought of that…” then we know we are doing our job. Subscribe and listen to our San Francisco real estate podcast for stories where our clients do exactly that.


    We believe that working with a real estate agent should be easy, and our job is to help you coordinate all the moving parts so that no detail is left untended. We don't catch every detail, although being perfect would be awesome! Listen along for podcast stories about the details in SF real estate. Some that really matter, and others that matter surprisingly little.


    We know that strong relationships are the foundation of our business, we've been amazed at the power of relationships in the real estate industry. And we aren't just telling stories about strong relationships with clients - but also relationships with trusted business partners, vendors, and so many others that help us get the job done.


    As the years have gone on, and we've moved from analog relationships to digital ones, I've begun to miss some of the time we spent with our clients in the car building social capital and trust as we toured homes together. Between touring homes, we always had plenty of time for stories. Stories about homes, stories about people, stories about San Francisco.


    We hope you'll enjoy our San Francisco real estate podcast! We also hope it helps you think about various ways to approach buying or selling a home in San Francisco, and offers insights into what happens during an escrow that you might not have been aware of.


    For our debut issue, it seems only fitting to begin, well, at the beginning. How did Britton Jackson come into the world of San Francisco real estate? What brought Britton Jackson to San Francisco? Who were her first clients? Did they know they were her first clients? Was her first real estate transaction simple? Or insanely complicated?


    After you hear the story of Britton's first escrow, I think you'll be amazed that she didn't run screaming from the business. I am!
