Clay Gjevre brings a rare combination of calm confidence and sharp strategic thinking to San Francisco's intensely competitive real estate market. His clients consistently describe him as a trusted advocate — someone who is firmly in their corner, guiding decisions with clarity and discipline rather than pushing for a quick outcome. Licensed since 2019, Clay has rapidly ascended to the top 10% of San Francisco agents. He works with sellers navigating complex situations, helping homeowners thoughtfully prepare, price, and position their properties to maximize value while keeping the process efficient and controlled. For buyers facing one of the most competitive and unforgiving markets in the country, he provides the edge they need to secure the right home in a crowded field. In both cases, his clients' success is personal to him. Behind the scenes, Clay is deeply hands-on — managing inspections, stagers, vendors, and transaction details so his clients don't have to carry the logistical burden themselves. He prioritizes proactive communication, ensuring his clients are anchored by facts and kept informed at every critical milestone. Before real estate, Clay spent over two decades in executive leadership at some of America's largest retailers, where he developed expertise in high-stakes negotiation, operations, and problem-solving — skills he now applies to every deal. During that time, he experienced the market firsthand as a buyer, homeowner, seller, and landlord in San Francisco and New York. Having been on the other side of the table, he understands what clients are going through — not just professionally, but personally. With a background in design and construction, Clay evaluates properties through a different lens — quickly identifying what's cosmetic, what's structural, and where value is often hidden — or overlooked. Whether working with a modern new build or a century-old San Francisco Victorian, he brings the same rigor and understands that he is managing his clients' significant financial asset. Since moving to San Francisco in the mid-90s, Clay has lived in eight different neighborhoods, developing a block-by-block understanding of the city that goes far beyond the data. Outside of work, Clay is with his family and their dogs, exploring the city he is proud to call home. He's at his best when traveling, enjoying a great restaurant, or vacationing near the water — surrounded by people who make him laugh.

Clay was referred by a mutual friend. Throughout the process he was helpful, attentive, and resourceful. I felt reassured by his extensive knowledge of the market and felt he had my best interests at heart. Thanks to his guidance I found the perfect home and couldn’t be happier. He is a total rockstar!!!

I’m a broker with 45 years of real estate experience and made the right decision hiring Clay Gjevre to sell my house in Bernal Heights. Clay’s professional service and personal attention to my needs made my move to Carmel Valley an absolute success from start to finish. From his sound real estate and design advice, to his help preparing the property for the market, to generating multiple offers and a sales price over asking in record time, I couldn’t have asked for more. But there was much, much more. Clay not only arranged for Compass’ Concierge service to provide up front capital for needed pre marketing renovations, he also connected me with the top Compass real estate agent in Carmel who found me my dream home!

As a first time home buyer, I could not have asked for a better experience then with Clay! After sharing a short list of homes that I found interesting he immediately provided a list of additional options. He made sure to arrange viewings at the times that suited me best. He was very considerate in providing detailed explanations of the process before, during and after negotiation phase as well as securing a price that fit my budget! He was always available to take my call and answer any questions that I had. TY Clay!

Let's set aside the fact that I've known Clay for over 20 years, and that we essentially "grew up" together in this awesome city. Or that I've a good number of contacts in the competitive real estate professional field. The bottom line is, choosing Clay to assist in the sale of my partner's sentimental Buena Vista Heights home is one of the decisions I feel best about, and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Whether it's his periodic helpful market analytic emails....or his reccos for best tapas spots, art galleries, or entertainment venues....or even a knock-out recipe for a classic cosmopolitan....Clay exudes a peerless knowledge of this city (and surrounding metro areas), an intuitive sense of what a new or old San Franciscan is looking for, and a top shelf professionalism that makes him an easy choice if I'm ever lucky enough to be in a position to buy or sell a home here in SF again. Thanks Clay! Look forward to working with you again.

Clay is an exceptional real estate agent. I couldn't find a more dedicated, focused, fun, and honest agent to help my family and me find our perfect home. We worked together for a long time before finding the ideal place. He was highly patient all the way, especially with family members with broken English. Clay was also very sincere when checking sites and their neighborhoods, considering our goals and safety, which was essential since we were from out of town. He was also excellent at providing all types of data about each place, helping us understand the market and draft the best offer possible. If you are looking for an agent in the bay area, I strongly recommend Clay. He will definitely help you find your perfect home.

My husband and I found Clay through a mailer solicitation. He was successfully selling condos in our neighborhood and price range. Clay professionally led us through all of the details including pricing, finding vendors to prep the condo and engaging high quality stagers. Bottom line: We sold the unit in 9 days at our price. Clay paid close attention, met with us regularly and carried us through the process. I highly suggest working with him!
