About the Neighborhood

 

EXCELSIOR

 

Are you looking to live in a neighborhood that straddles SF proper and the South Bay, close to one of SF’s best parks, and where you can get a single-family home for the best deal in the city?

The Excelsior neighborhood is made up of almost exclusively single-family residences – many of them detached, with the third largest park at the center, and great proximity to all that SF has to offer plus the best commute times to the South Bay. It is a large district in San Francisco that encompasses a section of the neighborhood called Excelsior as well as Crocker Amazon, Portola, Mission Terrace, and Outer Mission – along with a few other subdistricts.

SF Weekly called The Excelsior an “unapologetically un-hip” neighborhood. Maybe that’s true. Sure, you don’t come here for the big-name restaurant from Infatuation or Conde Naste, but what you do have is incredible taquerias, pizza joints that have been around since the 50s, muraled walls scattering the streets, and a break from tightly packed row houses and tight, windy streets. Oh and you get a break from the hefty price tag for a SFH compared to the rest of the city.

"Our initial consultation was one of the most memorable discussions we’ve had with someone in the business. She demonstrated through examples how creative, solutions-oriented and innovative her approach was; notably how her team adapted to the covid-19 environment through novel and personal marketing and attention to detail via virtual experiences. Other Realtors offered us a lower rate but we believe we got the quality and caliber we paid for."
N.O., Seller
"Ruth is a down-to-earth, friendly pit bull who represented us well and never let her guard down. She prepared us, protected us, and positioned us for what could not have been a more successful sale."
J.R., Seller
"In this very tough market, she got my family into a fantastic home. I was getting ready to walk away from the SF market altogether, because I just didn't think we could find what we wanted in a home at a price we could pay. Ruth is an absolute pro and helped us get the house we wanted. Ruth is a master real estate agent and the one you want in San Francisco."
H.H & A.P., Buyer
"In such a competitive market we needed an edge to get the home we wanted and we found that with Ruth and her team. She is down to earth, very personable and a master negotiator. She is honest, understanding, and not just out to make the sale."
R.M., Buyer
"Ruth was quick to assess our needs, the property needs, and the San Francisco market needs. She considered the property thoughtfully as she made recommendations for any renovations or work required. Her experience and knowledge as an interior designer is an asset. She creatively played with the space to increase its marketability and our home was beautifully displayed. We were pleased with the amount of offers and felt that Ruth's knowledge attributed to our success."
N.S., Seller
