EDITOR’S NOTE
D
uring these ever-changing and uncertain times, we are reminded that no matter what is happening around us, the one divine thing we can control is our vision. Our outlook and the way we approach the world is imperative. This issue’s release—at this precise moment in time—is also a reminder of the power of our intention. Four years ago, we had a vision. Our brokerage set out to create a signature publication that would unify our San Francisco Bay Area network, showcase the beautiful homes we have the privilege to bring to market, celebrate our talented agents and referral partners, and illuminate inspirational lifestyles through architecture, design and art. Ten issues, 1,000 pages and 700,000 copies later (not to mention a lot of happy buyers, sellers, agents and clients), these pages prove having a vision is everything. It’s a pleasure to welcome you to our 10th issue, what we’re calling “The Perfect 10.” We invite you to experience a host of visionaries, from gifted designers who reimagine spaces, to real estate professionals pushing the industry forward, to architects manifesting dream homes for clients. We begin with our top-picked talent from this year’s San Francisco Decorator Showcase. For its 43rd installment, the designers and organizers went virtual, offering both video walk-through and 3D interactive tours along with virtual designer interviews, proving that even COVID-restrictions couldn’t suppress their shared vision (Decorator Showcase, p. 34). In our feature, It’s All Relative, we look at the rapidly evolving real estate market and the role of big-data and agent, discovering the two go hand-in-hand and that our perspective is key, especially for an agent base redefining their own relevance (Agent Feature, p. 42). In search of the “perfect ten,” our cover feature (p. 46) showcases the top homes currently for sale in the San Francisco Bay Area. From stunning architecture, to refined interiors, to ultra-prime locations, we take you for an exclusive private tour inside our selection of the most significant residences for sale, including: an architectural masterpiece in Belvedere designed by award-winning architects Aidlin Darling Design; a net zero energy compound in Portola Valley; an ultra-modern retreat in San Rafael designed by Hansen Architects; and a bohemian lagoon hideaway in Bolinas, to name a few. Thank you to our readers, clients, agents and incredible production team for making GATEWAY Magazine—and our vision—possible. Enjoy,

AGENT FEATURE
RELEVANT
In a rapidly evolving real estate market, the role of big-data and AI have never been more top-of-mind. With a sea of tech players entering the space and an agent base reevaluating their own relevance, we take a deep dive with the founders of TopHap, the one platform proving AI and agent go hand-in-hand.
W
hen top producing real estate agent Anton Danilovich and seasoned software engineer Dennis Khvostionov set out to revolutionize the data analytics platform space for real estate, they had a data-geek’s tenacity to build a powerful tool to change the industry. Today, they are making headlines in Forbes, Inman and our pages for their runway-ready app, TopHap. An everyday business-decision tool, TopHap is empowering agents, brokerages, developers and real estate investors alike to dig deep into meta-market data and regional analytics to track where values are headed. It’s also empowering home buyers to put themselves in the best competitive position while allowing home sellers to understand pricing and true market value. With its virtually unmatched interface that’s slick, colorful and user-friendly, it’s clear TopHap has arrived. We sit down with Danilovich and Khvostionov to learn more about their vision, their game-changing
42
platform and the future of AI and the agent in real estate: G: Tell us why TopHap is needed in the industry now from an agent perspective. TH: Many agents are waking up to the fact that they must use technology to boost their credibility, provide real value and build a trusted relationship that clients can rely on. With the increasing availability of public and private data combined with machine learning and AI insights, we can show clients more than just fancy bells and whistles. We can empower them to turn what may be their largest transaction ever into their wisest transaction ever. G: There is often resistance or fear of AI replacing the role of the agent. Tell us why an agent would develop a tool like TopHap? How will you stay relevant and how do you harness the power of big data? TH: The answer isn’t exclusively about data. It is also about how we analyze, understand and present that data. The most powerful force on earth,
the human mind, is limited in its ability to process mountains of data simultaneously. If someone asks you to figure out the cubed root of Pi, you’ll immediately turn to a calculator, a machine, to help you out. And that’s OK. We need to embrace our limitations and partner with technology. AI can do much more than this. It can use machine learning to take a series of changing data points, compare them with historical trends, uncover correlations that we might never have seen, and tell you what a house is actually worth—and how much it will be worth next year and the year after that. Machine - learning algorithms can observe both static and evolving trends and factor them into calculations of a property’s value in real time. Similar methods can reveal neighborhood trends, how they shift and how they may change in the future. They can reveal how much to invest in a property or how to renovate it to maximize the specific preferences of a neighborhood.
“
We need to embrace technology with one hand and the client with the other.
�

43
“
It’s not exclusively about data. It’s also about how we analyze, understand and present the data to clients.
G: So it’s “power to the people” with TopHap? TH: Yes, as a group of committed professionals, we can and should provide our clients more than just surface information; we can provide the deep information they need to make an informed decision. For buyers and sellers, it will become a right, not a privilege, to have access to this information. G: Tell us more about the platform and what makes you different from Zillow, Realtor.com, Homesnap and others. TH: What makes TopHap different from the existing online real estate platforms is that they all focus on search, while we focus on research. Their value is promoting properties while our value is providing datadriven market insights. Our far superior and unmatched interface colorfully processes critical comparative market analysis (CMA) information. There’s a plethora
44
of data points we have that other platforms don’t. For example, proximity to schools and walkability scores are merely surface-level data points and the easiest-to-understand value indicators. Homes get more expensive when construction restrictions, such as a sloped lot, earthquake zone and other environment concerns enter the equation. Our software considers land use, government policies, municipal infrastructure, geography, traffic and noise pollution—to name a few—to determine home values. Real estate analysis tools of this depth simply do not exist and there isn’t another product like TopHap.
”
G: Given the powerful tool you’ve built, how do you see the role of agents’ evolving and staying relevant?
TH: Agents must accept this reality: data matters. The modern agent doesn’t need to become a data scientist, but we do need to deliver the data-driven insights that clients want. To make this happen, we need to embrace technology with one hand and the client with the other. If we use data to help buyers and sellers make the best decisions of their lives, we can do better than make money—we can deliver the trusted advice clients deserve.
G: How do you do that? TH: TopHap breaks it all down according to several key data points: value, property, region, hazards, market, investment community and school. Each of the categories has a growing list of searchable data points which a user can filter according to common MLS-type data. It’s a deep dive and it’s hyperlocal.

t is said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder–and someone with a belvedere will likely have a great deal of beauty to behold. Given the origins of the word, belvedere is the ideal term for a home with a view; it derives from the Italian words, bel which means “beautiful”, and vedere, which means “view.” This stunning property topping our list (and gracing our cover) is a true belvedere, listed with the Sarkissian/ Bullock Team of Golden Gate Sotheby’s International Realty for $29,500,000. Conceived and built by owner and venture capitalist Todd Chaffee, the architectural masterpiece above Belvedere’s west shore has commanding, panoramic views of the San Francisco skyline, the Golden Gate Bridge, Richardson Bay, Sausalito, Mill Valley and Mount Tamalpais. Over the years, Chaffee has enjoyed its proximity not only to the San Francisco Financial District but also to the San Francisco and Corinthian yacht clubs. “I like to create value for people,” says Chaffee. “The magic of Belvedere Island is that it’s an unbelievable place and a world-class location. The luxury of it is I can pop into the city for meetings, jump up to wine country, or be two minutes away from going sailing.” Designed by award-winning architects Aidlin Darling Design, the approximately 7,500 square foot home took over five years to build before its completion in 2015, resulting in one of the most architecturally significant homes in the San Francisco Bay Area. Its dramatic
48
setting and approximately 26,660 square feet of grounds are further complemented by meticulous landscaping and manicured gardens by Blasen Landscape Design. Sleek, modern and defining sophistication, the home incorporates a stunning use of materials, including concrete, steel, stone, reclaimed oak, leather, bronze, and of course, glass to perfectly frame vistas and invite in the enveloping views. Approached through an olive tree-lined courtyard, the home’s main level features formal living and dining spaces, an expansive water view terrace, an art studio office and a luxurious media room. Upstairs, there is an ensuite bedroom, a huge custom office and an expansive master suite worthy of a five-star resort with terraces and uninterrupted views. The lower level has three additional bedrooms and a light filled exercise room opening to a pool and spa as well as a sun deck. A two-car garage with carport and an auto-court allow ample parking. The stylish, full-sized guest house furthers the allure of this incredible estate.

pace and a sense of place are everything. They always have been, always will be. Together, they equate to the ultimate luxury and, especially now, are musthaves for those seeking reprieve during these dynamic times. Bolinas is that ideal. The tightly-knit coastal community has it and protects it for good reason. Enter Cristina di Grazia: a Bolinas native and a top-producing agent at Golden Gate Sotheby’s International Realty who is facilitating the buying and selling of homes in her hometown, and ultimately, serves as a steward of her community. Warranted respect and praise aside, making this enclave and haven your home requires an in, and that is Ms. di Grazia. She also just so happens to have one of the finest bohemian havens for sale in the world, not surprisingly, on the Bolinas lagoon, a true cosmopolitan Bay Area Arcadia. The seaside hamlet-turned-compound sits on 7.7 acres and is punctuated by guest houses, a barn, orchards, gardens and majestic oak trees. The property, in its present incarnation, was lovingly conceived over 20-years, a culmination of a lifetime of travel and design appreciation gifted by the current owners. The result is a piece of architecture where light and airflow easily through the structure that breathes with the offshore winds and the rhythms of this beatific stretch of the Northern California’s coast. Craft is key. The scale of the spaces and structure’s consideration confidently
50
exposes it’s extraordinary, with high ceilings, Chinkapin oak, reclaimed European oak floors and custom Spanish walnut cabinetry hand hewed by renowned artisans. The home’s vernacular is cultivated, informed by the owners’ travels through Asia, Europe and South America. The heart of the estate is the main house with its soaring open beamed ceilings. Designed for indoor-outdoor living, the living areas have 20-foot doors opening to wrap-around decks. There’s also a detached guest house with sliding glass windows looking out over the perennial flower garden as well as a dreamy sleeping loft. A separate bathhouse serves as a charming airy cottage with sliding glass doors and circular windows and is graced by a majestic oak tree. A chic woodcraft barn features handprecured hemlock and fir in rich and warm tones as well as handsome slabs, creating a jaw-dropping entertaining space of epic proportions. The various structures reside amongst a native restoration landscape dotted with orchards and gardens that honor the history of the fertile land, ready to grow or graze to one’s desires. A rare and once-in-a-lifetime opportunity awaits for an enchanting life on Horseshoe Hill Road above the lagoon.

roving that sustainable design doesn’t mean you have to compromise style, this architectural gem is a contemporary statement like no other. Recently completed in 2016, this Net Zero Energy masterpiece located in Portola Valley has a clear aesthetic vision for sustainability and design that works in harmony with the beauty of its surroundings. The sprawling residence is sited on 2.6 acres and has approximately 7,326 square feet of living space, including five bedrooms and seven full bathrooms. Ideal for a single person, family, multi-generational household or a grand entertainer, the residence offers serene privacy, panoramic views and close proximity to the hub of Silicon Valley. The green design features are extensive. There’s geothermal heating and cooling, 124 solar panels with all amenities (excluding the pool heat) being electric, and four Tesla Powerwalls enabling off-grid operation and automatic back-up power of crucial circuits. Tremendous walls of glass, some that entirely disappear, provide seamless integration of indoor and outdoor spaces and take advantage of the exceptional views from the San Francisco Bay to the Foothills Open Space Preserve. There’s also approximately 1,623 square feet of terraces that appear to float over the vistas beyond, perfect for California outdoor living at its finest. No furnishings, details or amenities have been overlooked, with highlights including flooring in

European oak hardwood and French limestone, a Savant home automation system, Meile appliances and a Studio Becker master bedroom closet. To add to the home’s stunning architecture and flow, San Francisco-based designer Jay Jeffers, known for his bold, luxuriant and timeless spaces, complements the home with his meticulous interior furnishing and decoration. “This home offers an unparalleled opportunity to have it all: high-design, sustainability, indoor/outdoor living, flexibility and privacy,” says Gary Campi of the Campi Group, a top-producing team at Golden Gate Sotheby’s International Realty. “To live in a world-class residence like this and be just minutes from Portola Valley’s town center and a quick ride to neighboring Palo Alto and Menlo Park enables the best of Silicon Valley at your fingertips while feeling a world-away from it all.” Additional highlights include a full Dolby Atmos Theater with Sony laser projector, home gym and fitness room, geothermal supporting radiant heating, electric car chargers and Nestcam video surveillance system throughout the home.

orinthian Island in Belvedere is home to some of the finest properties in the world. Its allure, location and lifestyle have long attracted the global elite. So when a Mexican telecom and media heir-turnedhotelier sought out to make the island community his home, it’s not surprising he landed at 74 Bellevue. Situated on the southernmost tip of Corinthian Island with uninterrupted and panoramic views of the San Francisco skyline, Angel Island, the Bay Bridge, Belvedere Island and the adjacent Corinthian Yacht Club, the property is one of the finest in world. In order to realize his dream home, the owner enlisted the help of architects Nunzio DeSantis and Jeff Jenson, principal architect of HKS Architects, to design and build a home that would respect the land, its natural surroundings, and that would last a lifetime. With over three years of construction, the resulting home brings the grandeur and elegance of Italian Riviera living to life in Marin. Known as “Corinthian Island’s Icon,” 74 Bellevue is listed with the Sarkissian/Bullock Team for $27,500,000. The Italianate estate has exquisite custom details that combine old-world craftsmanship with modern design.

ocated in the heart of Old Palo Alto near the bustling of downtown and Stanford University, this custom-built re s i d e n c e ex u d e s grandeur, elegance and French nobility. Designed by renowned architect Stephen Pogue, best known for his residential work in Martha’s Vineyard, the home offers a refined classic aesthetic with graciously proportioned spaces offering every modern convenience. Newly constructed by the owners in 2018, and barely lived in since, the home seamlessly integrates vintage touches that give the residence a timeless elegance. Heritage marble fireplace surrounds, antique chandeliers, and wall sconces imported from France sit comfortably alongside state-of-the-art systems that make living here a pleasure. Approached through a meticulously manicured front garden, the home’s dramatic double-height foyer with soaring domed ceiling dazzles with dual sweeping staircases leading to the home’s lower and upper levels. Pass between them and you enter the heart of the home: a formal living room with marble fireplace, an elegant dining room, and a gourmet kitchen, breakfast room and adjacent great room ideal for entertaining as well as the covered outdoor lounge. Almost every room on the main level opens to the outdoors through large French or Weiland folding exterior doors, making the boundary between inside and out disappear. A covered back porch is ideal for gathering and steps down to the
58
yard under the shelter of mature trees. There’s also a cozy bonus cottage with its own half bathroom—an ideal creative space for whatever you can imagine. On the upper level there are two ensuite bedrooms, one with private reading room, and the owner’s suite which rivals a fivestar hotel, complete with marble fireplace, large walk-in closet and a spa-worthy bathroom with private balcony. The lower level features a home theater, wine cellar, a spacious recreation room, an office and an additional ensuite bedroom. Listing agent Cecily Zhang of Golden Gate Sotheby’s International Realty notes that the home, which is currently in contract, may set a new record selling time for a house of this price point. “We listed the home mid-August and went into contract by early October with an asking price of $18,500,000. The price per square foot is more than 10-percent higher than the last home to sell in the area in the same price range,” says Zhang. With approximately 5,676 square feet of living space arranged on three levels, the five-bedroom, and five and two-half bathroom home offers an unprecedented lifestyle in one of the world’s most highly coveted enclaves. 1501Bryant.com $18,500,000 Cecily Zhang Golden Gate Sotheby’s International Realty 650.388.2511 | c.zhang@ggsir.com Lic.# 01701665

autical living and historic charm are one at this meticulously appointed home in Belvedere. Steeped in old Belvedere legacy, the completely updated home makes our list for its marriage of rich history, its prime location and its highly desirable lifestyle. The home, which served as a vacation retreat for a wealthy San Franciscan, was the 11th to be built on the island circa 1891 and was purchased from the Belvedere Land Company for ten dollars in gold coins. Since then, the property has undergone several renovations to preserve its grandeur and period details while bringing it gracefully into the future. Today, the home is state-of-the art, solar powered and has been completely remodeled with meticulous attention to detail, a labor of love by the current owners to evoke the serenity and charm of the heritage beach homes of nearby Stinson Beach. Located on the aptly named Bayview Avenue, this home has commanding, panoramic views overlooking the San Francisco Yacht Club directly below, Corinthian Island, Raccoon Strait and Angel Island. The home is truly a sailor and boater’s paradise—the yacht club can be accessed down steps adjacent to the home, as well as the quaint and upscale town of Tiburon, offering a plethora of fine dining, boutiques and the iconic Sam’s Anchor Café, serving fresh local seafood catches and fine wines. “The location is world renowned and really unrivalled for those who seek breathtaking views, immediate access to town and close proximity to San

Francisco and metropolitan living when desired. To be able to entertain on the expansive decks and terraces, watching the boats drift by while overlooking “Portofino-esque” Corinthian Island, it’s truly an enchanting way to live,” says listing agents Marcia Skall and Jennifer Glassman. “We couldn’t think of a more desirable place to dwell and thrive during these dynamic times. It’s really a oncein-a-lifetime opportunity to have it all.” Another rarity that makes this property our top pick is its unique double lot, a major bonus seldom found on the tightly-knit hillside community. The result is a manicured, terraced garden that offers a fireside lounge, established flora and privacy hedges including majestic redwoods, a bocce ball court and meandering pathways. It’s also the ultimate staycation and live-work from home setting. There’s a home gym, home office and plenty of room for a family or entertainment with frequent guests, complete with four bedrooms and three and one half-bathrooms. One thing is certain, we feel the calling to live, work, play and enjoy Marin’s lifestyle at its finest at this historic yet modern Belvedere oasis. 240BayViewAve.com $5,995,000 Marcia Skall & Jennifer Glassman Golden Gate Sotheby’s International Realty 415.533.5721 | m.skall@ggsir.com 415.309.5331 | j.glassman@ggsir.com Lic.# 01077678, 02059113

he Pacific Northwest has lured Californian’s for decades, but King C o u n t y ’s p u l l i n g power has never been stronger as out-ofstate buyers seek a more comfortable pace of life in today’s ever flexible and changing world. Seattle and its surrounding enclaves of Mercer Island, Kirkland and Bellevue are especially in high demand. Given the unique nature of the pandemic, savvy buyers are looking for environments that easily accommodate the need to work and learn from home, often translating to searches for homes with views, waterfront and land. No one knows this better than Robyn Kimura Hsu and Rachel Schindler, of The Robyn & Rachel Group, one of the top-producing agent teams with Realogics Sotheby’s

Both Robyn and Rachel are California transplants with roots in San Diego, Santa Monica, Pacific Palisades and the SF Bay Area, so they know first-hand what the move is like for out-of-state buyers, specifically those hailing from the Golden State. Today, Robyn lives in Mercer Island and Rachel lives in Bellevue. “We love helping clients experience the Pacific Northwest for the first time and we are uniquely positioned to give realistic assessments of our region in comparison with California. The benefit of our moves is that we increased our knowledge about various communities and maintain our comprehensive understanding of the markets in both

Most homes, if priced and presented well, will sell in multiple offers or even before a review date is scheduled. Knowing how to navigate these intense situations is essential. We empower our clients to make these important decisions because we have thoroughly educated them on the market and expectations. We also tour extensively so that we can be confident in our local market knowledge.” One of the main shifts happening in their market has come in the form of population size and density. Robyn and Rachel stress the importance of exploring the unique neighborhoods that make up the region when working with buyers, noting: “Each area has its own personality and fit. Proximity

Couple that with the political environment and COVID-19 and there are some substantial shifts taking place.

“They always tell you in real estate to keep your clients in mind. Every year we seem to be able to bring together a buyer and seller who might not have met otherwise. These transactions have a lot of meaning to us because they show our commitment to thinking outside the box. This special skill is especially helpful when there is little to no inventory and more buyers than sellers. We love putting the right people together to make dreams come true.”

DO’s & DONT’s: HOMEBUYING
Buying a home is fun, exciting, and validating. But make no mistake, it’s also a business transaction that can become a competition—especially in a seller’s market, when housing inventory is down across the country or in a specific area. The homebuying process becomes even more competitive in this type of market because there are more people wanting to buy homes than there are homes for sale. Obtaining a mortgage in this lending environment continues to be challenging and even more so now with the competitive nature of the housing market in 2020 into 2021. That’s where Blayney L. White comes in; a seasoned and top-rated mortgage professional with Cross Country Mortgage LLC, offering tailored, unique, and responsible lending solutions. We sit down with Ms. White to learn best practices and the Do’s and Don’ts for today’s market.
G: Tell us about you and the services and expertise you bring to the home buying table. BW: To win, I provide a consultative approach combined with extensive knowledge of the mortgage industry and deep connections with other professionals in the market; affording our team the competitive edge. Over the past 20 years I have utilized my experience to guide clients through the purchasing and refinancing process. In addition to purchasing a first or second home, many of my clients have built real estate investment portfolios that provide passive income for a soft landing in retirement.

G: What’s the most important thing for potential buyers to do first?
may help streamline your loan process, resulting in a smoother transaction.
BW: You need to be properly prepared for the process. In addition to your ability to make a strong offer on the home you want, the ability to close quickly is critical. Sellers and agents don’t want to lose valuable time waiting for a potential buyer to get approved for a loan, only to have it fall through. Don’t settle for a prequalification. Many won’t even work with a buyer who isn’t already pre-approved. With a pre-approval, you’ll be able to negotiate your home purchase confidently. Real estate agents and sellers will know you are ready to make a deal, and a pre-approval
G: So if buyers are well prepared, what’s the turnaround time for a close? BW: Transactions move much faster here in the San Francisco Bay Area. For example, in August 2020, our average time to close a loan was 29.5 days. The national average to close a loan was 49 days as of August 2020, according to Ellie Mae. G: Once a buyer is prepared and the process in underway with your team, are they on a fast-track to close? What should and shouldn’t a buyer do during this period?

INSIDER SPOTLIGHT
BW: During the loan process, there are many factors that our loan processors and underwriters will review when considering you for a loan. Processors may request additional or updated documentation, and underwriters may need clarification on certain aspects of your finances. But that’s not all. Beyond reviewing and requesting documentation on your financial history, we’ll also be paying attention to what you’re doing with your finances during this time. Even though the initial application is complete, and our team has most (if not all) of the documentation required to review the loan, you shouldn’t go finance a new suite of living room furniture. G: Why not? Buyers are always eager to get new items and furnishings for their anticipated abode. BW: Because any use of credit will affect important aspects of your financial standing, such as your debt-to-income ratio and credit score. It’s essential that both remain consistent during the loan review process, otherwise the details of your loan could change. You may be required to provide a written explanation of your activity, or worse—your loan could be canceled. G: So, how can you avoid putting your loan at risk?
70
BW: Let’s start with the DO’s It may seem obvious, but you need to complete your application thoroughly. Be sure to provide all of the required information and documentation. You also need to make sure you are responsive. Make sure to answer questions and requests promptly. Additional requirements (known as loan conditions) may need to be cleared to help underwriters approve your loan. Be transparent. It’s crucial that you disclose all other loans and credit with your loan officer so your application will not get held up. Don’t go out of town. Seriously, you’d be surprised how often this happens around closing date. Be accessible as your closing date approaches. Schedule time to review and sign documents and pay closing costs and down payment. G: And the DON’Ts? BW: Slow it down big spenders! Don’t make any major purchases on credit. Using your credit cards or opening new lines of credit to acquire cars, appliances, or furniture will alter your debt-to-income ratio, negatively affect your ability to make monthly mortgage payments, and harm your ability to qualify for a loan.
Don’t move money around in your accounts. This type of activity may appear to be an attempt to hide debt or conceal large balances. Don’t use untraceable money. Using large amounts of untraceable cash can make it difficult to understand your spending habits and cash flow. Don’t make a career change. Staying at your current job until after your loan closes demonstrates income stability. G: Okay, we’ve got a clear set of guidelines to follow. Any last parting advice? BW: It’s helpful to remember that this information can not only help you when your loan is being reviewed, but it can also be useful if you’re just getting ready to apply. This list, of course, is for guidance purposes only. Sometimes life throws curve balls that we have no choice but to address. We understand and we are here for you when one of those curve balls comes your way. BlayneyWhite.com Blayney L.
