CAENLUCIER | San Francisco Luxury Real Estate

Meet CAENLUCIER

CAENLUCIER is a boutique advisory partnership founded in 1999 at Sotheby’s International Realty. Stacey Caen and Joseph Lucier are San Francisco natives distinguished for their expertise in fine architectural and historic properties in the city's prime north side markets.

CAENLUCIER is the most senior partnership at Sotheby’s International Realty in San Francisco. Supported by decades of perspective and a prolific relationship network, Stacey and Joseph are skilled operators recognized for their innovative solutions to property acquisition, value growth, and resale marketing. Our established reputation and essential market intelligence (sfPAS®) deliver unique clarity and confidence when making important market decisions.

CAENLUCIER Private Sales offers discreet access to distinct properties and discerning buyers. Aligning unsurpassed market penetration with absolute confidentiality, our unique skill in sourcing opportunities and articulating credible value delivers high-level success away from the glare of the open market.

With a core belief in the transformative power of architecture, interior design, and craftsmanship, CAENLUCIER represents the clientele of San Francisco’s notable design firms. Whether sourcing properties for large scale renovations or representing the resale of a prized home, these valued partnerships and their meaningful results are the lifeblood of our practice.

A client list based on long-term relationships with generational San Francisco families and industry leaders in finance, technology, and real estate have led to notable transactions including a $34,500,000 Presidio Heights residence, four prestigious Pacific Heights penthouse apartments, and a storied portfolio of important historic and architectural city properties.

Stacey and Joseph look forward to beginning a conversation with you.

Our love of San Francisco’s history, beauty, and architecture inspires the work we do every day.

Our Commitment to You

Adding value to a process where everyone knows everything.

There has never been a greater amount of data available to buyers and sellers, but one should never confuse information with understanding. There is still no substitute for research driven expertise, a well-connected network, and plain old legwork. That is why CAENLUCIER's scope of experience is more important than ever. For over two decades, we have navigated our loyal clientele through San Francisco’s dynamic residential landscape as informed and probing agents who understand the difference between rhetoric and reality. Backed by our trusted reputation, you can be assured that your transaction will be properly valued.

Exceptional convenience achieving the results you desire.

At CAENLUCIER, our approach to service and attention to detail allows you to focus on the things you love. Each client relationship begins with an intensive consultation to gain a meaningful understanding of what you want and need. Joseph and Stacey’s dependability and responsiveness will offer you a market experience where your needs are intuitively satisfied. When entering the San Francisco residential market, CAENLUCIER's collaborative process ensures a rewarding partnership that invites success. After all, a computer keyboard will never have all of the key information that you will need in your search for a new home or suitable buyer. Joseph and Stacey’s thoughtful viewpoint and high-touch advisory practices provide you with confidence and convenience — working powerfully for you to achieve the results you desire.

“Joe and Stacey were simply experts at completely listening to what we said we wanted and making sure that they and their team found us exactly what we were looking for. The delivery was exceptional. Bravo!”

Private Sales

For those who place as high a value on discretion as they do opportunity, access is everything.

At CAENLUCIER Private Sales, we are uniquely positioned to source distinct properties and qualified buyers across the city’s highly valued market categories. Our powerful network delivers privileged access to prime San Francisco residences and qualified buyers to custom fit a private transaction for you. Our essential market intelligence, sfPAS®, guarantees private sale participants a secure path around the uncertainties of the open market. This proven service has helped us become one of the city’s leading partnerships for buyers and sellers looking to elevate their success, privately.

While it remains true that most San Francisco homeowners choose the broad exposure of the open market, a growing number of buyers and sellers are successfully taking advantage of CAENLUCIER Private Sales services. Key benefits include heightened privacy and security for the homeowner and confidentially sourced purchase opportunities for buyers. In 2022, private sales accounted for 28% of all single family home sales above $8,000,000 and 44% of all sales above $15,000,000.

Recent CAENLUCIER Private Sales include sourcing both buyer and seller in an $8,200,000 Pacific Heights penthouse transaction and a $24,000,000 architectural masterpiece currently holding the citywide record of $4,000 per square foot.

“My custom builder recommended CAENLUCIER as a team that would be go-getters and create opportunities. A week after we met, Joe and Stacey had mapped the entire city, pinpointed every building that would qualify, and had somehow figured out how to contact every penthouse owner in those buildings. The results were amazing!”
