The transaction adds to Dodd's record of advising high-net-worth buyers through significant San Francisco acquisitions, including the $29.15 million purchase of 2799 Broadway Street

SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / May 19, 2026 / Vanguard Properties is pleased to announce that Dan Dodd represented the buyers in the $17,250,000 purchase of 888 Francisco Street in San Francisco. The transaction adds to Dodd's established record of guiding high-net-worth buyers through significant residential acquisitions at the top of the San Francisco market.

Dodd's buyer representation of this exceptional Russian Hill residence follows a broader track record that includes representing the buyers of 2799 Broadway, which closed for $29,150,000 in 2024. Together, these transactions underscore the trust sophisticated buyers place in Dodd when navigating high-stakes purchases where discretion, strategy, and sound counsel are essential.

"In a transaction of this scale, the work goes far beyond finding the right property," said Dan Dodd of Vanguard Properties.

"Dan brings an exceptional level of judgment and discretion to complex transactions," said James Nunemacher, CEO.
