San Francisco, CA – February 1, 2010 – One of the iconic “Painted Ladies” is now on the market.

Featured property: 924 Grove St., Alamo Square

Restoring a grand old home is always fraught with difficulties – not the least of which is dealing with all the neighbors, city officials and even perfect strangers who inevitably will weigh in on how the refurbishment should be approached.

But when Alan Sagatelyan and his wife, Maryam Monsef, first set eyes on 924 Grove St. in San Francisco’s Alamo Square neighborhood, one thing was clear: If the facade bore testimony to the embellishments popular with Richardsonian architects at the turn of the century, there wouldn’t be much left to preserve inside the 5,100-square-foot house.

“An elderly lady lived here with six cats and five dogs,” Sagatelyan says, describing the state of the stately home when they discovered it in 2005. “There were a number of illegal apartments, five kitchens, a strange platform stage in one area and lots of staircases. The one thing the interiors lacked completely was architectural details.”

For Sale By Owner: How agentless transactions can turn into royal nightmares

By Carol Lloyd, Special to SF Gate

Friday, July 20, 2007

Last week I wrote about the benefits of selling your own home. After decades of the National Association of Realtors claiming that working with an agent brought buyers more money even after the commission, a new academic study found quite the opposite: that buyers who sell homes without an agent can profit mightily from their hard work and entrepreneurship. But before sellers jump into the For Sale By Owner fray in search of fatter profits, it’s worth listening to those who have jumped before them and have injuries to show for it.

Most tales of real estate gone wrong entail an accusation — deserved or not — about the agent. But nothing screams stress like a real estate nightmare without an agent to blame.

“It’s been insane, I’ve had three different lawyers, and I’m out at least $10,000 dealing with this,” says Alan Jacobson, a newspaper design consultant.
