We genuinely enjoy doing everything we can to help clients find their ideal home and get top dollar when they sell. Doug is the Managing Real Estate Broker at BLG Properties. He particularly enjoys advising home buyers at the Lumina, where he purchased a condo as well as at The Harrison and The Towers, where he lived and knows the buildings inside and out.
Doug obtained his law degree from Georgetown. Working with a lawyer in the purchase or sale of your home matters as attorneys are trained to identify risks and to reduce them before making the biggest investment of your life. Also, while traditional real estate agents can merely fill in blanks on a standard agreement they are prohibited from practicing law.

I've purchased and sold real estate in the past but nothing compares to the amazing experience we've had with Doug! We were searching for a 2 bedroom condo for our growing family and looked at several units in and around Lumina. When we mentioned this to Doug, he nailed the perfect new home we were looking for on the very first try. With his extensive network, he was able to show us an off listing unit that perfectly matched our budget and vision for our new home. He is a family man and was quick to related to everything we needed down to every detail. Realizing how much we loved

Buying my first home seemed like a daunting task. Trying to find the perfect place for my budget in San Francisco seemed impossible. But working with Shalini made the whole experience easy, without any pressure or hard selling. She was able to understand what kind of property I wanted And was right for me. Everything she showed me was close to what I was looking for until I found the right place for me.
Once I found my place she was on top of closing the sale fast. As far as helping to get documents in order and communication with the seller. and helped me with any questions and query's at

After knowing Doug for a couple years. I felt very confident in retaining him as a real estate broker.
One of the first things I liked about his work as my real estate broker was his ability to come up with creative marketing as well as originate solutions to problems or issues.
He is self motivated and a good entrepreneur who puts in smart time to aggressively market and sell a large luxury estate.
Also his attention to detail and knowledge of the laws was an asset. Doug is a strait shooter form the mid west that retains the honesty and integrity that make a difference in any real estate transactIons

In purchasing a new home, I reached out to Doug Bend. Top notch expertise in the Bay Area real estate market. Doug was knowledgeable, friendly, worked fast and gave great advice on the ins and outs of my home purchase. Would highly recommend using him and will be sure to use him again on the next deal.

When we made an offer on a home, we contacted Doug because we knew he would be honest and responsive. We reached out to him a couple days before the offer and he was ready with the disclosures the next day! Communicative, professional and on point. If you are looking for a great real estate agent to find your perfect property, give him a call.

My parents were only in San Francisco for 2 weeks and Shalini found the perfect investment unit for them within the short time frame. She's incredible efficient and responsive with setting everything up. Our experience working with her on a international transaction was seamless and smooth! She made it straightforward and easy for us to handle everything from overseas. Thank you Shalini for your professionalism and dedication!

We retained Doug to help us find our ideal condo in the City and we couldn't be more pleased. Doug is enthusiastic, positive, flexible and has deep knowledge of the SF condo market. He is an honest real estate agent who wants only to help you find your dream home. You should call him when you start looking--you will not be disappointed!

When I sold my vacation home at Lake Tahoe, Doug was the first person I called because I knew he would shoot me straight and help me get top dollar for my property. He has excellent resources, is very smart and a great negotiator. When the time comes, I will ask him to help me sell my residence in Sonoma.

I worked with Shalini to find a space for a restaurant in SOMA. I can't say enough about the level of professionalism that she brought through the entire process. She is a thoughtful realtor who took great care to understand our needs and worked relentlessly to find us the right space. She was very attentive to timelines and helped us stay on track. Commercial space scouting can be a long laborious process, and Shalini was able to keep the seller's side engaged through the process, which really helped us secure the deal. It was such a pleasure working with her, and I am sure we will work

Moving can be such a stressful experience, but Doug was invaluable in finding the right place for me based on my preferences, and ultimately taking all the hassle out of the apartment hunt. We had a preliminary discussion about my budget, living habits and preferred neighborhoods, and he assembled 3 or 4 places in SoMa for me to check out. Ultimately, I chose one of the initial places he selected, which goes to show he has a keen sense on that front. Couldn't be happier with his services. Thanks, Doug!
