Shaban looks at real estate differently based on his experience transforming spaces and his credentials as an attorney, developer and property manager. Shaban tells his buyer clients which properties he likes, which he doesn’t like, what kind of renovations to do, how much those renovations will cost, what kind of tenant issues exist, whether there are any hidden risks and the true value of the pr
operty on the offer date and after improvements are made. Seller clients understand the current market so they can position their home to reach the most buyers, maximize their sale price and minimize their ongoing liability. This knowledge comes from years of specialized experience and it ensures that Shaban’s clients are protected from the many contracts, rules, regulations and case law that expose real estate owners to liability. There simply isn’t another real estate professional with Shaban’s skill set. Shaban sells homes and apartment buildings in and around San Francisco and Hillsborough and in select areas of Marin and the East Bay. He is a Bay Area native with deep connections and rare credentials. Shaban enjoys the challenges and rewards of our real estate market. He practiced law at top-tier San Francisco and Palo Alto law firms, where he structured and negotiated complex real estate and securities transactions as large as $700,000,000. He was one of San Francisco’s first tenancy-in-common developers. Shaban and his clients work with some of the best Bay Area contractors, designers and trade professionals, who have proven themselves to deserve being listed as resources on this site. Shaban works with both buyers and sellers of both homes and investment properties. He has access to properties that are not on the public market. One of Shaban’s clients bought an apartment building and sold it a year later for a $2,000,000 profit. Shaban can also make referrals to agents throughout the world for any type of real estate transaction. B.A., Double Major, University of California at Berkeley
