For buyers seeking 2–10 unit investment properties, the agents on this list with the highest buyer-side transaction volume include Allison Chapleau, Laila Salma, and Eileen Bermingham.

Top-performing seller's agents in San Francisco's multi-unit market include Shanendoah Forbes, Grant Edward Beggs, and Anthony Koutsos, who consistently achieve above-ask list prices for their clients. Their expertise in positioning income properties — through accurate rent-roll analysis, staging for investor appeal, and timing listings to market demand — has produced outstanding results for sellers across all major SF neighborhoods.

Agents are ranked using a data-driven methodology that weighs multi-unit transaction volume (40%), verified client reviews compiled from Google Reviews, Zillow, Rate My Agent, and Realtor.com (30%), local neighborhood expertise and market knowledge (20%), and years of active experience in SF's investment property market (10%). The #1 ranked agent's rating reflects a combined composite score from all major review platforms. Rankings are reviewed and updated annually.

San Francisco's multi-unit market remains one of the most competitive in the nation. The average duplex trades at approximately $1.8M while 4-unit buildings average $3.2M. Median days on market for multi-unit listings sits around 28 days. Mission District, Pacific Heights, and Richmond District consistently lead in transaction volume. Strong rental demand, driven by tech employment and limited housing supply, continues to support investor interest across all unit sizes.

The best multi-unit realtors in San Francisco bring a verified track record of investment transactions, deep knowledge of the SF Rent Ordinance and local eviction protections, access to off-market listings through active investor networks, and experience evaluating cap rates, gross rent multipliers, and cash-on-cash returns. Also look for established relationships with commercial lenders, building inspectors, and property managers — the full network matters as much as the deal itself.

Top-ranked multi-unit agents bring expertise in SF's complex rental regulations, access to off-market and pre-market listings before they hit the MLS, strong negotiating leverage built from high transaction volume, and networks of trusted contractors and lenders. Their experience with investment property analysis — including cash flow projections, cap rate evaluation, and 1031 exchange strategy — can mean the difference between a profitable long-term investment and a costly mistake in one of the country's most regulated rental markets.
