Street-facing exterior of a two-level home with dark grey stucco, black trim, wood accent paneling, and a double garage.

SOLD: 338 Mangels Ave, Sunnyside, San Francisco, MLS 425041084

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.
