Serving the San Francisco Bay Area

FSBOTransact provides flat-fee transactional real estate services across the entire Bay Area, with additional coverage in select parts of California. The same $6,000 fee, the same standard forms, and the same licensed brokerage handling every transaction with consistent care and expertise.

Our Four Bay Area Regions

Each region has its own real estate patterns, disclosure requirements, and transaction customs. Our brokerage has deep experience across all four and adapts the transactional service to what each area actually requires — while the underlying model, fee, and standard-form approach stay identical everywhere.

San Francisco

A dense urban market where condos and small multi-unit buildings dominate. City-specific requirements like the 3R Report and water conservation compliance apply to nearly every sale. Common transactions include family sales in appreciated homes and tenant purchases in rent-controlled buildings.

East Bay

Oakland, Berkeley, Alameda, and the surrounding communities span a mix of single-family homes, duplexes, and multi-unit buildings. Local disclosure and inspection requirements vary meaningfully by municipality, and transfer taxes differ from San Francisco's. Long-tenure landlords selling to their tenants are a common transaction type here.

North Bay

Marin and Sonoma counties feature more single-family properties on larger lots, with wildfire hazard zone disclosures prominent in many transactions. Prop 19 considerations frequently come into play for multi-generational family transfers, particularly where property values have appreciated significantly over decades.

South Bay / Peninsula

San Mateo and Santa Clara counties encompass a tech-influenced market with high property values and their own tax and disclosure patterns. Family sales among long-time Peninsula residents are common, and the transaction landscape reflects both suburban and increasingly-urban characteristics depending on the city.

What Stays Consistent in Every Region

Different counties have different regulations, but the underlying service does not change based on where the property sits. Wherever you're located in our service area, you get:

  • The same flat $6,000 fee, paid out of escrow at closing — never a percentage of your sale price
  • Standard SFAR and CAR contract forms that every California lender and title company recognizes and processes on the normal timeline
  • The same licensed California brokerage handling your transaction with over 16 years of experience across Bay Area markets
  • The same 45–60 day typical timeline from purchase agreement to recorded deed, with cash purchases often closing in 21 days or fewer
  • Consistent, direct communication throughout the process — no rotating support teams, no impersonal handoffs

Counties We Serve in the Bay Area

Our four regional service areas together cover the following counties: San Francisco, Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, Sonoma, San Mateo, and Santa Clara. Within each county, we serve every city and unincorporated area — from the coastal edges to the inland boundaries.

Beyond the Bay Area

We also serve select areas of California outside the Bay Area. If your property is elsewhere in the state — the Central Valley, the Sacramento region, or Southern California — reach out and we'll let you know whether we can handle your transaction. The contracts and forms we use apply to many parts of California, but not all, and the answer only takes a short conversation to establish.
