This article is about the San Francisco real estate broker. For her official website, see allisonchapleau.com.

Allison Chapleau is an American real estate broker in San Francisco, California, who specializes in selling apartment buildings and other income property. A Senior Vice President at Compass Commercial Brokerage, she has worked in commercial and multi-unit brokerage since 2002 and focuses on multi-unit, mixed-use and commercial buildings across all ten of San Francisco's real estate districts.^[2][3][1] Her practice also handles court-supervised and fiduciary sales, including probate, partition and trust sales, along with 1031 exchanges and owner-occupied purchases of two- to four-unit buildings.^[3][4]

Chapleau has sold more than 300 apartment, mixed-use and commercial buildings, with more than $1 billion in multi-unit transaction volume over her career.^[3][5] Based on San Francisco MLS data compiled by Broker Metrics, she was the city's top listing agent by number of 2–4 unit building listings from 2021 to 2025 and also ranked first for buildings of five or more units, and her Compass profile lists her as the No. 1 agent in San Francisco for 2–4 unit sales since 2015.^[2][6] Her 2022 sale of 625 Scott Street, a 42-unit building facing Alamo Square, for $18,050,000 was reported by The Real Deal as San Francisco's largest multifamily sale of that year.^[7][8]

She began her career at Marcus & Millichap after graduating from the University of San Francisco, and later worked at Paragon Commercial Real Estate and Vanguard Properties before joining Compass in 2024.^[5][9][1] Her website publishes quarterly market reports on San Francisco's 2–4 unit and 5+ unit building markets, monthly sales updates and a "San Francisco Market Insights" blog.^[10][11][12]

Early life and career [edit]

Chapleau graduated from the University of San Francisco, where she earned a bachelor's degree in business administration with a minor in finance.^[2][6] Her website says she finished college in 2002, as San Francisco's economy was in a downturn, with $10 to her name and credit card debt.^[5]

Marcus & Millichap

A family connection led to a lunch meeting with a former Marcus & Millichap broker, who suggested she become an agent. She took a $400-a-week internship at the investment brokerage and spent her first months cold calling, copying keys and running errands for a top producer.^[5][13] Her LinkedIn profile dates her time at Marcus & Millichap, where she became a senior investment associate, from September 2002 to February 2010.^[9] State records show that her California salesperson license was issued on February 11, 2003.^[1]

Her first transaction came from a cold call to the firm's front desk: a stranger wanted to sell a mortuary in Weed, California, and the receptionist passed her the lead. She brought in a senior broker to co-list the property and did the legwork herself. The sale closed about nine months later, and the commission paid off her debt.^[5][13] She was named Rookie of the Year at Marcus & Millichap in 2007.^[5] In her early years she took a wide range of deals, from fast-food properties to a fourplex in Long Beach, before concentrating on San Francisco apartment buildings around 2010, during what her website calls the last major downturn.^[5]

Paragon and Vanguard

Chapleau received her California broker license on December 8, 2010.^[1] In June 2010 she joined Paragon Commercial Real Estate in San Francisco as a senior vice president, and she stayed until January 2019.^[9][5] From February 6, 2019, to January 25, 2024, she was licensed as a broker associate with Vanguard Properties, where she was a senior vice president in the firm's commercial division.^[1][5] Several of her best-known sales closed during her time at Vanguard, including 250 Douglass Street in 2021 and 625 Scott Street and 691 Post Street in 2022.^[14][7][15]

Compass

Chapleau joined Compass in 2024 and works out of its Van Ness Avenue office in San Francisco. She is a broker associate with Compass California II, Inc. and a Senior Vice President at Compass Commercial Brokerage.^[1][6][5] Her Compass profile lists her specialties as listing and buyer representation for multi-unit, commercial, mixed-use, development, rehab and exchange properties, as well as court-confirmation and probate sales.^[6] Her website highlights the court-supervised sales she has handled since 2021 and reports that her largest overbid at a confirmation hearing was $1.6 million.^[3]

People [edit]

Allison Chapleau

Allison Chapleau (California DRE #01369080) holds a real estate broker license and is affiliated with Compass California II, Inc.^[1] Her website describes her career as built on long-standing relationships with property owners, families, investors and repeat clients, and her work as financial analysis, strategic positioning and guidance from listing through closing.^[2] In a 2025 episode of the Off Market podcast, she described how her client base grew through referrals: the owner of a Noe Valley building held by one family for 80 years told her he had been pointed to her by three people independently, including a family friend and an owner of another building she had sold.^[13][5]

Her website says she has begun coaching other agents on the commercial side of the business, particularly women entering a part of the industry that has historically been male-dominated, and that she partners with residential agents and small teams across the Bay Area as their "commercial arm" when a client needs to sell a multi-unit property.^[5]

Natalie Meyers

Natalie Meyers (California DRE #02010250) is an investment real estate specialist on Chapleau's team at Compass Commercial. She came from retail investment brokerage at Capital Pacific, holds a degree in economics from Sonoma State University, and joined Chapleau's team in early 2018.^[16][17] Her salesperson license was first issued in 2016, and she moved from Vanguard Properties to Compass on the same dates as Chapleau.^[18] Meyers handles day-to-day client coverage, while Chapleau oversees pricing strategy and negotiation.^[16] Meyers is named as co-listing agent on several of the team's recent sales, including 1701 Church Street, 435 44th Avenue and 60 Rockford Avenue in Daly City.^[6][16]

Markets and specialties [edit]

San Francisco

San Francisco is Chapleau's core market; her website describes her as selling 2–4 unit, 5–14 unit and larger apartment buildings across all ten San Francisco real estate districts.^[3] Most of the city's multi-unit housing was built before 1979 and is therefore covered by the San Francisco Rent Ordinance. As a result, buildings are valued on their rent rolls and tenancy histories, and on local rules such as the Mandatory Soft Story Retrofit Program for older wood-frame buildings of five or more units. Chapleau presents these rules as the reason the asset class needs a specialist.^[5][19] Her website's "District Explorer" gives pricing, days on market and investment notes for each of the city's MLS districts, and her sales records cluster in the central and western neighborhoods described below.^[20][21]

Western Addition, NOPA, Alamo Square and Hayes Valley

District 6, which includes Hayes Valley, Alamo Square, the Western Addition, North of Panhandle (NOPA), Anza Vista and Lower Pacific Heights, is where Chapleau's largest San Francisco sale took place: 625 Scott Street, a 42-unit building across from Alamo Square Park.^[22][8] Her NOPA and Western Addition sales include the 24-unit 1700 Golden Gate Avenue, sold as a trust sale in 2023, and the neighboring 12-unit buildings at 1440 and 1616 Golden Gate Avenue, both trust sales that closed in 2025.^[23][4] In a 2026 article she identified Hayes Valley, Alamo Square and the Western Addition, along with the Mission and the Inner Sunset, as the central neighborhoods where demand driven by the artificial intelligence industry was strongest.^[24]

Haight-Ashbury, Cole Valley and Twin Peaks

Her sales in the Haight-Ashbury, Cole Valley, Ashbury and Clarendon Heights, Corona Heights, Duboce Triangle and Twin Peaks consist mostly of two- to six-unit buildings.^[25][21] They include the trust sales of 22 Twin Peaks Boulevard and 465–471 Corbett Avenue, the probate purchase of the five-unit 4931 17th Street, and 53–57 Divisadero Street, a three-unit building in Buena Vista that sold in September 2026.^[4][26][6]

Castro, Noe Valley and Glen Park

District 5, which her website calls the city's "blue-chip" district for legacy two- to four-unit buildings, includes the Castro (Eureka Valley), Noe Valley and Glen Park.^[25] Here she sold 250 Douglass Street, a 16-unit historic building also known as the Alfred E. Clarke Mansion, which drew a full-price offer within 21 days in 2021.^[27][14] Her Noe Valley work includes a partition sale at 4024 25th Street, which sold $645,000 above its list price after court confirmation and overbidding, and a mixed-use building on 24th Street that one family had owned for about 80 years.^[28][3][29]

Mission, Bernal Heights and Potrero Hill

The Mission District, Mission Dolores, Bernal Heights and Potrero Hill, part of District 9, are among her most active areas for two- to six-unit and mixed-use buildings.^[30][21] Her sales there include 813–817 Kansas Street, a five-unit trust sale in Potrero Hill whose seller had co-owned the building for more than 40 years, and 2955 Mission Street, a mixed-use trust sale.^[31][3][4]

Richmond District and Lone Mountain

In District 1, which her website describes as prized by investors for stability and high owner-occupancy, her sales range from duplexes on the avenues to 335 2nd Avenue, a ten-unit building that drew six offers and sold all-cash for $370,000 over its list price with a 15-day close.^[32][33][34] Also in the district is 228 Collins Street, a former car wash site in Lone Mountain that sold for $3,250,000, $1.5 million over its list price, after competitive overbidding at a court confirmation hearing.^[35][34]

Sunset District and Parkside

Her Sunset District sales range from vacant duplexes in the Inner and Outer Sunset, which are popular with owner-occupant buyers, to apartment buildings of up to twelve units on the western avenues.^[36][21][37] In a February 2026 article she reported that vacant duplexes in San Francisco had traded at an average of about 30 percent above comparable occupied duplexes.^[38]

Pacific Heights, Cow Hollow and the Marina

In District 7 she sold 3035 Webster Street, a seven-unit trust sale in Cow Hollow that received five offers. She has used it as a case study in pricing buildings whose rents sit below market because of rent control.^[39][40] In 2026 she sold 2690 Jackson Street, a vacant building across from Alta Plaza Park that a private school had occupied, for $7,300,000, and 1865 Green Street, a four-unit building bought by an owner-occupier.^[41][42][43]

Russian Hill, Nob Hill, Telegraph Hill, Downtown and SoMa

In the northeastern districts and South of Market, her sales include 691 Post Street, a 36-unit mixed-use building in Downtown San Francisco with 34 apartments and two retail units, which sold for $9,000,000 after two weeks on the market, and smaller buildings on Telegraph Hill, Russian Hill and Nob Hill.^[15][34][21]

Southern neighborhoods

In the Outer Mission, Excelsior, Mission Terrace, Oceanview and Portola, her work includes estate and court-supervised sales. These include the probate sales of 401 Huron Avenue, which sold $355,000 over its list price, and 125 Majestic Avenue, the partition sale of 531 Bowdoin Street, and the nine-unit trust sale of 2255–2259 San Jose Avenue.^[44][4][45]

Multi-unit and income properties

Multi-unit, mixed-use and commercial buildings are the center of Chapleau's practice.^[2] Her writing separates San Francisco's income-property market into tiers by building size. Buildings of one to four units are financed with residential mortgages and appraised on comparable sales, which brings owner-occupant buyers into the market. At five or more units, a property becomes commercial multifamily: lenders underwrite it on the building's own operating income, and the buyers are mainly investors who price on capitalization rate, gross rent multiplier and expense ratios.^[46][47][5] She has argued that underpricing a 5+ unit building no longer produces a bidding war, because investors price offers on fundamentals.^[40]

Rent control. San Francisco's Rent Ordinance generally covers buildings of two or more units with a certificate of occupancy dated on or before June 13, 1979. For those units, annual increases are limited to the Rent Board's Annual General Adjustment, set at 1.6 percent for March 2026 to February 2027. Newer buildings can instead fall under California's statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482).^[48][47][49] Her guides also cover the Ellis Act, under which an owner withdraws all of a building's units from the rental market, with relocation payments, a five-year vacancy-control period and tenants' rights of first refusal; tenant buyout agreements; owner move-in evictions; and the gap between in-place and market rents, which drives the value of a rent-controlled building.^[48][19]

TICs and owner-occupied buildings. Two- to four-unit buildings can sometimes be converted to condominiums or held as tenancies in common (TICs), which widens the buyer pool to owner-occupants who plan to live in one unit.^[48][50] Her website has a section on owner-occupied duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes. It covers financing, delivering units vacant and the carrying-cost math of living in one unit while renting the others, with examples such as 4430–4432 Anza Street in the Richmond and 250–252 29th Street in Noe Valley.^[37][51] Her articles on the "owner-user advantage" argue that vacant two-unit buildings sell at a premium because they appeal to owner-occupants.^[52][38]

Zoning and retrofits. A 2026 guide on her blog explains the city's RH, RM and neighborhood-commercial zoning districts after San Francisco's Family Zoning Plan rezoning, including how adding a fifth unit changes a building's financing and buyer pool.^[49] Her writing treats soft-story retrofit status as a value factor, since seismically retrofitted buildings command a premium and finance more easily; her listing records note it, as at 1700 Golden Gate Avenue.^[19][25][23]

Her largest sales are income properties: 101 & 151 Eastmoor Avenue, two Daly City buildings with 78 units sold together for $22,500,000 in December 2022; 625 Scott Street ($18,050,000); and 691 Post Street ($9,000,000).^[53][8][15]

Probate sales

A probate sale is the sale of real estate that belongs to a deceased person's estate and passes through formal court administration, rather than transferring through a trust or joint tenancy.^[54] In San Francisco, probate matters are heard in the Probate Division of the Superior Court, Department 204, at the Civic Center Courthouse.^[55][56] Under California's Independent Administration of Estates Act (IAEA), the court grants the personal representative either full or limited authority. With full authority, the executor can sell after giving heirs a Notice of Proposed Action, as long as no one objects. With limited authority, or if an heir objects, the accepted offer must be confirmed by a judge.^[55][54]

At a confirmation hearing, the offer must generally be at least 90 percent of the value set by a court-appointed probate referee (Probate Code §10309). Other buyers may overbid in open court, and the first overbid must exceed the original offer by at least 10 percent of the first $10,000 plus 5 percent of the rest. Chapleau's guides say that confirmation typically adds four to eight weeks between an accepted offer and closing, compared with a full-authority sale.^[55][57][56] Her articles note that San Francisco estates often hold a two- to four-unit building, a rent-controlled apartment building, a TIC interest or a mixed-use property, each of which adds tenancy, notice and valuation issues to the probate timeline.^[55][56]

Chapleau describes her probate process as providing court-ready, market-supported valuations, pricing that can withstand confirmation review, marketing and access coordination, preparing buyers for the overbid, and escrow management aligned with the court calendar, with documentation "suitable for filing" for attorneys and executors.^[4] Her documented probate sales include 401 Huron Avenue in the Outer Mission, which sold $355,000 over its list price after court confirmation and overbidding, 125 Majestic Avenue in Oceanview, and 60 Rockford Avenue in Daly City, which she sold with Natalie Meyers. She represented the buyers in the probate purchases of 4931 17th Street, a five-unit building in Cole Valley, and 4148–4150 24th Street, a two-unit building in Noe Valley.^{[4][44][26][58]} Her website's notable-sales page also describes the 228 Collins Street sale as a probate sale requiring court confirmation, although the property's own listing page calls it a partition sale (see below).^[34][35] Her probate guides include San Francisco Probate Court: A Real Estate Guide for Executors, How Long Does Probate Take in San Francisco? and How to Choose a Probate Realtor in San Francisco.^[12][59]

Partition sales

A partition action is a lawsuit in which a co-owner of real property asks a court to divide it or order it sold; under California Code of Civil Procedure §872.210, any co-owner may file one regardless of the size of their share. In San Francisco it is filed in the Superior Court. The typical sequence is a complaint and lis pendens, service on the other co-owners, an interlocutory judgment setting each owner's share and whether the property will be divided or sold, the appointment of a referee, marketing and sale, a confirmation hearing with overbidding, and distribution of the proceeds after an accounting.^[60] Because most San Francisco lots hold a single building, a sale and division of the proceeds is usually the only practical remedy. California's adoption of the Uniform Partition of Real Property Act also changed the procedure for inherited and family-owned property.^[60][61] Many cases come from families in which heirs inherit a building as tenants in common through probate and cannot agree whether to sell.^[61][60]

Chapleau describes her partition work as neutral, structured and court-compliant: impartial communication through court-appointed parties, a "two-phase" marketing process built to produce overbids at the confirmation hearing, data-supported pricing, qualifying buyers for deposits and "as-is" terms, and timelines aligned with statutory requirements.^[4] On many of these sales her listing records describe her role as "Represented Seller, Partition Referee", meaning she was the agent for the court-appointed referee who conducted the sale.^[28][62][35] Gregory Walston, an attorney on a San Francisco Superior Court partition case she handled, wrote that the parties were "contentious at best" and that he doubted the case would have resolved without her.^[4][60]

Her San Francisco partition sales include 4024 25th Street in Noe Valley, which sold $645,000 over its list price in December 2022; 228 Collins Street in Lone Mountain, which sold $1.5 million over its list price after court overbidding in 2022; 136–138 Baker Street, a partition sale that was also a court-confirmed trust sale; and two- to six-unit buildings in the Mission, the Inner Sunset, NOPA, Cole Valley and the Lake Street area.^{[28][35][62][4]} Outside the city, her partition sales have included single-family homes and small income properties in San Jose, Newark, Hayward, San Rafael, Berkeley and Sonoma County.^[4] Her explainer, What Is a Partition Action in Real Estate?, is one of the longer guides on her blog.^[12]

Trust sales

When a property was deeded into a living trust before its owner died, the successor trustee can usually sell it under the terms of the trust without probate or a court confirmation hearing, subject to the trustee's fiduciary duties to the beneficiaries.^[57] In a trust sale the agent's main tasks are communicating with beneficiaries and documenting pricing decisions so that they hold up if they are challenged. A probate sale, by contrast, requires managing court timelines and the overbid process.^[57][4] Her guides address family-owned San Francisco apartment buildings that pass through trusts. They cover the choice between selling and holding, delivering units vacant, and the Ellis Act and tenant-protection rules that apply when heirs consider selling a building vacant.^[61][57]

Chapleau's stated approach to trust sales includes valuations grounded in comparable sales, strategy aligned with trustees' obligations and distribution timelines, weighing private versus open-market sale options, and structured communication to manage beneficiaries' expectations.^[4] Her website's trust-sale portfolio consists mainly of multi-unit buildings. These include 1700 Golden Gate Avenue, a 24-unit building in NOPA that received multiple offers and sold for $6,625,000 in 2023; the twelve-unit buildings at 1440 and 1616 Golden Gate Avenue; 3035 Webster Street in Cow Hollow; 813–817 Kansas Street in Potrero Hill; and smaller buildings in the Castro, Glen Park, Twin Peaks, the Haight-Ashbury and the Inner Richmond.^{[4][23][39][31]}

Greater Bay Area

Although her practice is concentrated in San Francisco, Chapleau's records include sales elsewhere in the Bay Area, many of them court-supervised. They include the 78-unit Eastmoor Avenue sale in Daly City, small income properties in Oakland and Berkeley, a ten-unit partition sale at 510 Chiechi Avenue in San Jose, and partition sales of single-family homes in the South Bay, the East Bay, Marin County and Sonoma County.^[53][4][6]

Services and approach [edit]

Chapleau's marketing for each building includes a detailed marketing package, professional photography and direct broker-to-broker outreach, supported by a network of private investors, family offices, developers and multifamily brokers.^[3][63] Her website says she sorts that network by when each buyer expects to buy, so that outreach on a new listing starts right away with buyers who are ready to act. It credits this approach for several recent sales that closed within two to three weeks.^[5][13] She says her pricing rests on recent sales, cap-rate movement, rent multiples and conversations with investors and brokers competing for similar properties. Her site also lists handling of rent control, local housing ordinances and soft-story requirements, and 1031 exchanges, as part of her services.^[2][3]

She has published San Francisco multi-unit market reports since at least 2018, beginning with a January 2018 report covering San Francisco, Alameda and Marin counties.^[64] These include quarterly and mid-year reports on 2–4 unit and 5+ unit buildings, and monthly "Apartment Building Sales" updates that give sales counts and average price per square foot by building size.^[10][11] Client testimonials on her website come from sellers of family-held and co-owned buildings, including a mixed-use building owned by one family for more than 80 years and a Potrero Hill building co-owned for more than 40 years.^[3]

San Francisco Market Insights [edit]

Chapleau's website runs on Webflow and hosts a blog titled "San Francisco Multi-Unit Market Insights", which offers analysis of cap rates, pricing, inventory and selling strategy for San Francisco's 2–4 unit and 5+ unit building markets.^[12] Early posts, from 2025, were short market commentaries, on topics such as why few multi-unit buildings come to market while owners hold for rental income, how to price 5+ unit buildings, and the premium paid for owner-occupiable duplexes.^[65][40][52] Since mid-2026 the blog has published longer guides on probate, trust and partition sales, rent control, zoning and valuation.^[12] Notable articles include:

Selected sales [edit]

The following tables list closed sales that Chapleau records as her own on her website and on her Compass profile.^[21][6] Sales are grouped by San Francisco neighborhood, with a separate table for the Greater Bay Area. Recent sales are listed with their closing dates, newest first; other featured sales are listed by price. Each property name links to the record of the sale. "Seller" means Chapleau held the listing, including sales in which she represented a trustee, executor or court-appointed partition referee. "Buyer" means the listing was held by another brokerage, or the source states that she represented the buyer. A dash means the source does not state which side she represented. The "property and sale type" column shows the building type and, where her website identifies it, whether the sale was a probate, trust or partition sale. Where her website and the MLS record give different sale prices, the MLS price is shown.

• 625 Scott Street, Alamo Square: a 42-unit building across from Alamo Square Park, with 12 one-bedroom and 30 studio units. In May 2022 it was listed at $20 million, which The Real Deal reported as the largest apartment building then on the market in San Francisco. It sold in August 2022 for $18,050,000 after receiving four offers, and was reported as the city's largest multifamily sale of the year. Chapleau co-listed the building with Brad Lagomarsino.^{[68][7][69][8]}
