Selling your home is a huge decision. With the emotions that arise from such a dramatic life change, having a Green Key agent there to help you prepare your home, market it for sale and negotiate and close the deal makes the whole experience much more rewarding.
The first question you will have undoubtedly is: “What is my home worth?” Your Green Key agent will research the market for recent sales activity and give you a thorough analysis and evaluation to arrive at an asking price. In San Francisco it’s not as easy as you may think to price a home for sale. Especially when there may be a bidding war for your home. Our agents are experienced on both the selling and buying end of San Francisco deals so they will be very well versed to price your home to help you realize the most value.
Once your home is priced, it’s time to market it to the public. Green Key approaches marketing your home a little differently than most other San Francisco agents. Of course we will list your home in the multiple listings that the vast majority of homes are listed in , and we will hang signs on or near the building to clearly show that it is for sale.
What’s different is that we are networked within the green real estate and green business circles not only in San Francisco, but nationally. This gives your home exposure to people who value sustainability and want to incorporate it into their business dealings whenever possible. For example, no other brokerage in San Francisco is a certified EcoBroker. That certification gives us access to EcoBroker’s national advertising and marketing programs which only increases your home’s exposure. We also advertise in green business publications like the Green Pages, and the San Francisco Natural Pages.
We will hold open houses on Sundays and be open for Broker’s tours on Tuesdays, and we will accommodate your schedule for other showings.
Depending on the property we can recommend green staging companies who strive to use green furnishings and to minimize waste. We can also recommend green contractors to take care of any repairs or repainting, etc. that make sense to do before we show your home to the public.
Once we have an offer or offers, we will represent you in the negotiations to get the best price and purchase terms for your home as possible.
We will never represent buyers intending to Ellis Act evict tenants from a building. So, if you are considering selling your investment property, and want to respect your tenants’ rights and wishes to remain in your building, you will find that we are the best brokerage for you in San Francisco.

What people are saying...
“Chris at Green Key Real Estate was a pleasure to work with. He patiently walked me through the process of finding and buying my first home, and connected me with some of the best green remodeling people in the bay area. It was a breath of fresh air to work with a green minded real estate agent, and I’d highly recommend working with Green Key Real Estate.”
Heather Stephenson, San Francisco
“We were a little nervous embarking on buying our first home in San Francisco. Chris Bartle was the perfect solution in helping us through the process. Chris helped us through the property search, contract negotiations and closing processes. Chris' knowledge of the San Francisco market helped us make an offer that was accepted in a multiple bid situation, and his connections helped us find the right contractor to inspect the home quickly. We are thrilled that Chris has launched his own brokerage. He is a professional and valuable advisor”
Brian and Stacy Goleno, San Francisco
“Chris has been great to work with! He is very knowledgeable about the real estate market here in San Francisco. He is an excellent communicator and has been invaluable in our search for a new home. We plan to have him sell our current home too when the time comes. I would definitely recommend him!”
Kathy & Bart Shepherd, San Francisco
"It was such a relief to have Chris on our side throughout a particularly tough negotiation. He helped us get a great price for the land we bought in Sonoma county, and this transaction was one of the smoothest real estate closings we have ever experienced. He also connected us with a knowledgeable green builder up here and a fantastic lender. We will certainly work with Chris and Green Key on future real estate projects and or developments. A breath of fresh air in the mayhem of real estate."
Barry Everett & Shannon Prochaska, Sebastopol
“I couldn’t have asked for more from Chris. He is an informative real estate agent who has a great amount of patience. As a first time buyer, I knew very little about getting a place of my own. It was such a relief to have Chris’s expertise. His positive energy generosity with his time and understanding helped us find the best property that we possibly could.”
Kiffen Liesbianto, San Francisco
