San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) May 17, 2013

Climb Real Estate Group’s new app for iOS devices allows users to browse homes and apartments for sale and rent in the San Francisco Bay Area. Buyers, sellers, owners, and luxury real estate aficionados are set to explore the world of extraordinary real estate with Climb’s long-awaited app.

The app shows high-quality photos and a full description for each of Climb Real Estate’s properties, as well as a link to contact the listing agent directly from the mobile device. Listings are updated in real time so users are always up-to-date with what’s happening in San Francisco real estate.

The app’s features include the ability to see all Climb’s current sales and rental listings or see what’s been recently sold and rented. Users can browse agent profiles, save favorite properties for viewing later, or share properties via email, Facebook and Twitter from inside the application.

“We are happy to announce that our dedicated mobile users can find a version at Apple’s Newsstand featuring some of our many fine properties,” said Climb partner Mark Choey, who was instrumental in the development and launch. “As a thought leader in the real estate technology space, it is crucial that Climb have an app.”

“With such a larger userbase using smart phones, iPads and other mobile devices, the importance of communicating effectively with a mobile consumer is essential,” said Managing Director Dirk Kinley. “What we have created not only provides compelling information for buyers, but it also reflects the innovation of Climb’s brand.”

The “ClimbSF Real Estate” app is available for free from iTunes and the Apple App Store.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ – LessThan6Percent (http://www.lessthan6percent.com), the online marketplace where home sellers can compare commissions and marketing plans from local real estate agents, is exiting its beta launch in the San Francisco Bay Area and expanding into Southern California. Founded in late 2012 by serial entrepreneur Simon Ru, LessThan6Percent provides home sellers a convenient platform to streamline the process of finding the best agents to represent their home.

“The problem home sellers face is that there are thousands of agents in any given market,” says Ru. “It is difficult for home sellers to compare agents to find the best match. They don’t know what questions to ask, what to look for in a marketing proposal, or how to start the awkward conversation of negotiating services commissions.” This is where LessThan6Percent steps in.

LessThan6Percent differs from traditional agent-matching service such as Trulia (http://www.trulia.com/) and Zillow (http://www.zillow.com) by matching sellers to proposals submitted by agents rather than agents’ profiles. Instead of directing sellers to call agents’ numbers on a directory, LessThan6Percent transforms the matching process by having agents compete for sellers’ business. With a click of a button, home sellers would know exactly what services they are going to receive and how much they would cost. This level of transparency is unparalleled in the real estate industry.  

LessThan6Percent Benefits Home Sellers

When using LessThan6Percent, sellers are able to request proposals anonymously and review profiles that showcase agents’ marketing brochures, past transactions and social network reviews. A typical request will receive five proposals within two business days. Each proposal is personalized and includes answers to all the pertinent questions that a seller would typically ask when interviewing agents.  Sellers will be able to compare commission quotes, length of contract, and services such as number of open houses, staging, marketing and virtual tours that the agents are willing to offer.

Beyond quantitative metrics and stats, agents are also given the opportunity to provide a customized response on how they can help the seller obtain a higher price and how they are the best agent for the seller and the property.  This information adds depth to an agent’s profile and helps the seller decide on the appropriate agents to interview and hire.

“When agents compete for your business, the opportunity to get a competitive commission quote comes naturally,” says Ru. On top of the commission savings, LessThan6Percent also offers home sellers a $500 bonus rebate at close of escrow.    

LessThan6Percent Also Benefits Agents

While home sellers enjoy convenience, selection and savings when using LessThan6Percent, real estate agents will enjoy a new avenue to connect with sellers they would not have met otherwise. By gathering and analyzing massive amounts of data from credit bureaus and third-party data sources, LessThan6Percent identifies potential home sellers and brings them to the site. LessThan6Percent’s team interviews and identifies the needs of each seller so that agents can create tailor-made proposals. Because the proposals and commission quotes are personalized and only viewable by the seller, LessThan6Percent provides a safe platform for full-service agents to compete with discount brokerages such as Redfin (http://www.redfin.com/) in a way that was not previously available.  

Since piloting the beta in February 2013, LessThan6Percent has established partnerships with over 300 real estate agents in the San Francisco Bay Area. Several of its partner agents are ranked in the Wall Street Journal as among the top 100 agents in the U.S.

About LessThan6Percent
Founded in November 2012 by serial entrepreneur Simon Ru and led by a team that has helped grow companies like EBay (http://www.ebay.com/) and Redfin, LessThan6Percent™ is a marketplace where home sellers can compare commission quotes and listing proposals from local real estate agents.

Novato, CA (PRWEB) July 11, 2012

SheSpree.com, a new daily deal website set to launch this fall, is based in Marin County, California. Its mission is to provide incredible deals from local women-owned businesses. The site has an inherent cause in it by supporting female entrepreneurship, but it also champions local commerce by keeping its revenue within the Bay Area itself. Residents of the greater San Francisco region maintain a widespread, community feel regardless of where they live. Home to about 7 million people, the Bay Area has many folks living in one county, but working in another. The city itself, for example, is home to about 800,000 people, but another 200,000 commuters make their way there each weekday for work. For this reason, SheSpree.com has embraced the entire Bay Area as its local niche, while chartering women merchants from Marin County as the stars of its initial launch.

With all the focus on failing city and township economies in the media these days, there is a growing concern among many that spending should be consciously funneled into local commerce. So it stands to reason that a daily deal website, offering local discounts, is a wise, as well as convenient, choice. SheSpree.com will offer women great deals on everything they need to help manage their personal lives, families, homes, and businesses. Having the merchants be local (especially for service-based products) adds value, saves time, and helps to develop repeat customer bases within the community. And because of the large population of commuters in the greater Bay Area, residents from the entire region can reap the rewards as well.

Owner Paula Richer comments, “SheSpree.com aims to provide smart deals for women all over the Bay Area yet focuses on our women entrepreneurs, one area at a time. We’re starting with Marin County, a creative, diverse community, where you’ll find a lot of unique artisans and small businesses. I want to showcase their talent and ingenuity by featuring their offerings on site. It’s very heartwarming and very exciting!”

SheSpree.com is set to launch this fall. For additional information email shespreeme(at)gmail(dot)com. To sign up as a subscriber visit http://www.SheSpree.com.

Potrero Launch is slated to be completed
in the third quarter of 2012.

(Mark Your Calendars: RealShare REAL ESTATE 2012, March 22^nd in Los Angeles).

SAN FRANCISCO-Los Angeles-based CityView, a real estate advisory firm founded by former HUD Secretary Henry Cisneros, has just closed on its first asset from the Bay Area Fund. The new $300-million fund will be used to invest in multifamily housing communities in the Bay Area region.

The class A mixed-use asset, called Potrero Launch, is located in the Mission Bay area of San Francisco’s waterfront and is slated to be completed in the third quarter of 2012 with 196 rental apartment units and 28,000 square feet of office and retail space.  

According to Cisneros, executive chairman of CityView, “There is a critical shortage of quality rental properties in the Bay Area. For those who cannot afford the high cost of owning a home in the region, it is imperative that they have access to high quality multifamily housing.”

Tony Cardoza, formerly of Real Estate Capital Partners, has been named as managing director of the Bay Area Fund and David Martin, formerly the founder, chairman and CEO of the Martin Group, and vice chairman of CityView is chairman of the fund’s investment committee. Cardoza and Martin have extensive experience in the Bay Area and collectively have worked on a number of notable projects, such as One Market, 1000 Van Ness, Hamilton Field, EmeryBay, and Downtown Pleasant Hill.

Martin says that “Patrick McNerney, principal of Martin Building Co. and the developer of Potrero Launch, has a long history of building high quality projects in the City.”

McNerney says in a prepared statement that the transaction was “complex” and “took place over a condensed timeframe.”

Cardoza points out that “We’ve raised a significant amount of capital for an area we think is very promising for new construction in the multi-family sector and we intend to continue to seek similar urban, infill development opportunities with strong partners.”

Cisneros adds that “This region is a focus for our equity dollars because of several factors—it’s one of the focal points of the nation’s business and professional services, its artistic and cultural opportunities, its transportation, its educational and scientific talents, and its foreign trade activities. The area is a big draw for people, jobs, and the capital necessary to justify large-scale investments in housing. We certainly hope that more housing options will help ease the high cost of rental housing for Bay Area residents.”

Cardoza tells GlobeSt.com that the amount for Potrero Launch is $437,000 per residential unit. In addition, he says, the project has 20% affordable units reserved for those earning 30% and 50% AMI.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) September 20, 2011

Moving and Storage Company Gentle Giant Moving Company, an award winning local and interstate mover, today announced that revenues for its San Francisco regional operations, known in the Bay Area as Great Giant, exceeded expectations for the first six months of business. Aggressive goals were set for the regional office based on the San Francisco real estate market, competition from numerous other moving companies with established reputations in the area, as well as the consistent growth of the company’s other West Coast Seattle Moving Company Gentle Giant in Seattle, Wash.

After formally establishing a local moving presence in the Bay area in February of 2011 with a branch on the Central Waterfront area of San Francisco, Great Giant has experienced steady growth in revenue and demand for its professional moving services. A strong local renters market combined with positive word-of-mouth have helped enable the company to increase the number of jobs, as well as the number of employees in the region. Great Giant Moving Company now employs 5 highly trained moving crew members and drivers.

The Boston based Gentle Giant has leveraged its highly successful long distance moving business with its desire to grow local moving service for Great Giant in San Francisco by working in tandem with Regional Manager Brandon Sparks on interstate moving jobs whenever the opportunity arises

“Although local moves are new for Great Giant in San Francisco,” Sparks explained, “we have been working throughout this community for years via Gentle Giant’s interstate business. Many folks in San Francisco know the GG brand, and the high quality service that goes with it.”

The company’s even growth and the spreading of its positive reputation and has been spurred by the strong internet user community in the San Fran area who frequently write about their positive experiences with Great Giant on popular review sites such as Yelp and Angie’s List. In addition, the company has immersed itself in the community by becoming involved in events like the SharkFest Swim and the Escape the Rock Triathlon.

“I helped develop Gentle Giant’s positive presence in Seattle,” noted Sparks, “and the key is providing a superb work environment for our people. This allows us to focus on creating life-long loyalty in our customers, and I’m delighted that we have such a great opportunity for success in San Francisco.”

Gentle Giant has been serving its customers with a blend of high quality care and speedy, athletic ability that differentiates the company in the industry. The award winning mover has operated for more than 30 years, but it was not until 2005 that the company expanded outside of New England. Its strategy in new regions is to start small and build a strong reputation by changing what people expect from a moving company.

“The mission of Gentle Giant is to create a positive experience through great service and to create growth opportunities for employees,” said Gentle Giant Founder and CEO Larry O’Toole. “The company invests in solid, proven employees like Brandon and his team, and our customers benefit from that.”

The site complements our strong online presence in both Marin County and San Francisco and further strengthens our ability to service the needs of our modern-day home buyers and sellers in the East Bay.”

Fast Forward Property Management, located in the San Francisco Bay Area, is offering three tips to property owners on how to fill vacancies.

“Owners and property managers invest a great deal of time and money to attract and maintain high-quality residents,” said Jade Powell of Fast Forward Property Management. “High vacancy rates can quickly turn a highly profitable investment property into a money-losing liability.  When a tenant leaves, you lose money by not being able to collect rent and can spend a considerable amount of time and money painting, repairing, cleaning, and advertising your unit.”

Fast Forward Property Management offers expert advice for those in the Bay Area, Sonoma County, San Francisco, Sacramento, San Jose, and Santa Rosa looking to fill their vacancy with a new tenant.

The following three tips should be considered by property owners:

First, place banners and signs around the property and launch ad campaigns online and with other media outlets.

Second, work with real estate sales professionals to develop referrals. Real estate sales professionals are a great source because many people go to them for listings, especially those new to the area, so it is wise to build a business relationship with them.

Finally, offer $150 to $250 to any tenant who refers someone that is approved for a lease. This provides motivation for current tenants to be on the lookout for new tenants, minimizing the amount of time and money spent by the property owner searching for someone to fill the vacancy.

These are great suggestions that every property owner should bear in mind to maintain successful rental properties.

For more information about property management, and all services provided by Fast Forward Property Management, visit them on the web at www.FastForwardPMBayArea.com or call them at (877) 388-0998.

About Fast Forward Property Management
