The “How To” Guide to South San Francisco

What I have learned over my time in the Real Estate Industry is that it’s not so much how many clients you can serve in a year – like a competition or a record to beat, but how many valuable relationships you can make and how easily you can structure your business to withstand any economic situation.

I would rather serve and help 20 families I want to have a vested interest in rather than work by herd mentality and have a life of stress and anxiety.

The Dan Johns Group ensures that every client gets the same opportunities and service that every client receives.

No, there is not rent control in South San Francisco or the County of San Mateo, but you can call either La Raza Centro Legal (415) 575-3500 or San Mateo County Legal Aid (800) 381-8898 regarding questions or problems you may have on legal housing issues.

La Raza has a tenant/landlord mediation program and can assist tenants with habitability problems.  Project Sentinel (415) 468-7464 provides counseling and investigation of fair housing discrimination.

South San Francisco occupies the basin and portions of the sides of a broad valley formed by the San Bruno Mountains on the north and the Coast Range on the west. Most of the valley faces adjacent San Francisco Bay, affording sweeping vistas, from higher levels and a definite sense of identification with the Bay. South San Francisco has mild winters and dry cool summers. The hills to the west shield the city from much of the fog that prevails in neighboring areas.

Population has tripled since World War II with the opening of such subdivisions as Buri Buri, Winston Manor and Westborough on the slopes west of El Camino. It has grown from 4,411 in 1920 to 61,824 in 2006.  A new BART station opened in June 2003.

South San Francisco offers its citizens a city in which to live comfortably in fine residential areas; a place of recreation in parks, swimming pools, and marina; a place to work in more than 2,800 firms and businesses including many biotech companies such as Genentech which gives the city the title of “Birthplace of Biotechnology”.
