News: The Mira SF was just built. Why is it already on a blacklist?

The San Francisco Standard recently reported on how buildings undergoing the SB 800 process—where HOAs and developers collaborate to resolve construction or finish-quality issues—can be temporarily blacklisted by some lenders. Kevin Ho and Jonathan McNarry of Vanguard Properties stay ahead of this and other emerging trends to help their clients navigate with clarity and confidence.

From $700K to $1.58M: A Strategic San Francisco Home Sale

When we first met the seller of this Sunnyside home in San Francisco, the property was tenant-occupied and featured original, dated finishes. The estimated as-is value was between $600,000 and $800,000.

We connected the seller with a trusted legal team to help longtime tenants transition out (they later purchased their own home), then advised on targeted home improvements—focused, high-return updates designed specifically for the San Francisco real estate market.

The result?
Listed at $1,395,000. Sold at $1,580,000.
In less than two weeks.
At more than $1,100 per square foot.

This successful home sale reflects the power of the right prep, the right upgrades, and the right real estate team.
