Compass vs. Redfin

Compass has cutting edge technology and tools that are innovative in the Real Estate world. Compass is consistently updating and improving our technology to make our user end service effortless. With Compass search, our clients are able to search for properties that are coming soon. Compass Coming Soon is exclusive to our brokerage and website and it allows buyers access to thousands of homes that have not yet been listed, creating a wider inventory to pick from. For sellers, this program is a top-of-the-line pre marketing tool by creating a strong buzz before the home hits the market. Coming Soon allows buyers to essentially list their home twice, increasing exposure. Because of this, they can test the market and asses their pricing strategy, allowing us to evaluate the best price for their home. Check out our Compass Coming Soon collection here.

Once approved for a loan, we will guide you through the concierge process and the money will then be collected at the close of escrow.

Refined Plans for a Designer Mega-Mansion in San Francisco

Purchased by Mark and Alison Pincus for $16 million in 2012, the nearly 12,000-square-foot Pacific Heights pad at 2950 Pacific Avenue, the rear facade of which is pictured above, returned to the market in 2014 with plans to add a bunker below the home and an $18 million price tag.

Withdrawn from the MLS and scrubbed from the listing agent’s site in early 2015, the property quietly sold to developer Troon Pacific for $16 million that November, at which point even bigger plans to gut and expand the Albert Farr-designed home were working their way through Planning.

Since then, Snøhetta (yes, that Snøhetta) has further refined their plans for the spec mansion. And in addition to two new basement levels – with a new media room, gallery, (art) storage rooms, a catering kitchen, courtyard, terraces and an all-new (secondary) entrance on Broadway – the latest set of plans now include an all-new interior design and flowing central staircase.

The redeveloped mansion would measure a little over 18,000 square feet, with an elevator running from its lowest level to the home’s remodeled fourth floor, above which the existing attic would be converted into a partial mezzanine level and open roof deck.

And yes, a placeholder mailbox for a coveted “2895 Broadway” address, along San Francisco’s Billionaires Row, which the home currently only overlooks, has been hung.
