Why We Start with a Zoom: The First Step to Selling Your San Francisco Home

April 25, 2025

Here's how our team of top San Francisco real estate agents uses Zoom to jump-start the home selling process.


If you’re thinking about selling your home in San Francisco—whether it’s a Victorian in Noe Valley, a condo in the Mission, or a view home in Pacific Heights—your first step might seem obvious: schedule a walkthrough with a Realtor.

That makes sense on the surface, but after more than two decades in the business, I’ve found that the most important first step isn’t a property tour. It’s a conversation, especially in today’s nuanced real estate market. 

At Danielle Lazier Real Estate, we do things differently. And it’s why our listings consistently sell for more money and in less time than the market average.

We do not begin with a walkthrough. We begin with a Zoom.

It’s Not About the Property, It’s About the Strategy

Yes, your home matters. But real estate sales in San Francisco aren’t just about real estate. They’re about sales. And a successful sale hinges on strategy, communication, and alignment, not just square footage and staging.

Before we dive into pricing, marketing, and logistics, we need to understand your goals, timing, concerns, and questions. Every client and every property is different. That’s why we begin by talking with you. This isn’t the typical Realtor’s templated presentation or pitch—it’s a collaborative, informed conversation. 

After 20+ years as a top listing agent selling homes in San Francisco neighborhoods like Bernal Heights, Noe Valley, the Sunset, Glen Park, the Castro, and Pacific Heights (really all over SF), I’ve learned that the foundation for a successful sale is alignment. Selling real estate for top dollar in SF, making sure you don’t leave money on the table, takes more than availability. It takes strategy, trust, and tuned-in communication from the very beginning.

That’s why our process starts with a Zoom consultation.

Why Zoom First?

Whether you’re selling a multi-unit, condo, TIC, or single-family home in San Francisco, our initial conversation sets the stage for everything to follow. 

Here’s what we accomplish in this first virtual meeting:

  • Understand Your Unique Situation
    Whether you’re navigating a life change, selling a longtime home, or coordinating with multiple decision-makers, we want to hear what’s going on—because context matters.
  • Look at Market Data Together
    We’ll look at sales comps in your neighborhood—whether you’re in Potrero Hill, Inner Sunset, Nob Hill, or Hayes Valley—and talk through current buyer demand, hyper-local trends, and realistic pricing expectations.
  • Answer Your Questions
    Curious about timing, costs, disclosures, or the process of selling a condo vs. a single-family home? Let’s talk through it all up front.
  • Evaluate Fit
    This is a two-way street. We want to make sure we’re the right team to represent you, and that you feel confident and comfortable moving forward with me as your listing agent and the Danielle Lazier Vivre Real Estate team to support the process.

Then What?

If we’re a fit, we’ll sign the paperwork and book an in-person walkthrough with my San Francisco-based staging and marketing team (as needed). From there, we move quickly—or slowly, depending on your timeline—finalizing your pricing strategy, prepping the property, and launching a high-impact campaign targeted to the right buyer demographic. 

In 2024, our listings sold for an average of 8.5% above market and closed 43% faster than average. That kind of result doesn’t come from winging it. It comes from a process honed through years of selling homes across the city, from condos in South Beach to Edwardians in the Richmond District.
