I am a San Francisco native. I spent most of my life in this city, with my later childhood and teen years in Mill Valley. I have lived all over San Francisco, and my work today takes me all over the city too. These days I live in the Castro, and I am a Noe Valley school parent.
Life has not always gone according to plan. Mine certainly has not. I went through a divorce and came out the other side as a solo woman homeowner. Owning my home was the one thing I built that stayed built, the thing that kept me grounded when everything else was moving. That experience is exactly why I do this work now. I want to help other women and individuals navigating their own major life changes build that same foundation for themselves.
For 15 years, I worked in tech, including over a decade at Salesforce, before a round of layoffs pushed me to rethink what came next. I became a Certified Professional Coach first, then a REALTOR®.
I live in the Castro and know that neighborhood, along with Noe Valley, better than most, but I have lived all over this city and my work takes me all over it too. I know the family-friendly neighborhoods especially well. You will usually find me on the sidelines of a field or park somewhere, watching youth sports.
If you are buying or selling because something in your life just changed, I get it. This is a big moment, not just a transaction.
I do not just dabble. When I am in, I am all in, for you.

location is everything
The Castro is more than an iconic neighborhood; it's one of San Francisco's most tight-knit, family-friendly communities. A local guide from Castro homeowner Alexis Kushner.
Read MoreSunny skies, stroller-friendly sidewalks, and the best olive loaf in San Francisco. Noe Valley is where SF families put down roots — and never want to leave.

Read MoreHere's what clients and stakeholders say about working with me.
My partner and I were planning a move to the Bay Area after twenty years in LA. We have three kids, two dogs, and a lot of moving parts involved in our relocation. The potential for stress was high. Thankfully, Alexis was our realtor and we are so grateful for the way she took care of us throughout our search and home purchase journey. From the beginning, she dove deep to understand our family's unique needs and then she kept our needs front-and-center at every step of the process. Her knowledge of San Francisco's geography and neighborhoods was essential given that we'd spent years away and weren't exactly sure where we wanted to land. Alexis was also ready and willing to flex when we began exploring homes outside the city proper (such as the East Bay and Marin). She connected with colleagues across the Bay to make certain she would be able to successfully represent us in every region we explored. When it came to considering particular properties, she quickly established relationships with sellers' agents, researched and resolved our questions, and raised additional questions we hadn't thought of. When we had an offer accepted (on the second try!), Alexis supported and advocated for us throughout our escrow period. I really appreciated her responsiveness as well as the warmth and positivity she brought to the process. Not only did we feel supported and cared for in our home-buying journey, we actually had fun. We are beyond thrilled to be moving into our Bay Area home in a couple of weeks. It's perfect! Thank you, Alexis!

She made it happen. Working with Alexis was a great experience. She helped make the dream of me purchasing my rental unit a reality. With an off market offer, we were able to close on my Cow Hollow condo. Now I can enjoy the sweeping views of the Golden Gate Bridge and the bay. She was a joy to work with and had tremendous follow through and integrity.
