About Blakely
Blakely Hull is the founder of The Best Coast Collective, a San Francisco real estate team working across the city, Marin, the East Bay and the Peninsula. She writes the neighborhood guides and buyer education on this site.
In her own words: “I am the founder of Best Coast Collective and the leader of this insanely talented team. We are proud to be among the top 1% across the Bay Area and the top 1.5% nationwide. Our business comes exclusively from referrals and our network – because of the exceptional service we provide.”
“Leading global teams at Uber through periods of rapid transformation did not just prepare me for change; it taught me to see change before it arrives. I brought that same orientation into real estate: staying wired into every shift shaping the industry and building active partnerships with organizations pushing the space forward.”
“My six years in HR gave me a unique lens on negotiation: understanding what people actually want underneath what they say they want. That skill surfaces in every transaction we run. My years in the classroom gave me something equally useful: the ability to take something that feels overwhelming and make it genuinely approachable.”

A Proven Negotiator
I am an incredible negotiator. I was in HR for many years and have a knack for knowing how people work. But, no one knows everything, so I regularly invest in world-class training and coaching to always further refine my skills. When I’m negotiating on your behalf, I get your deal done with the terms most favorable to you.
Someone Who Gets It Done
I’m an executor, through and through — just ask anyone who knows me. However, I know that every home and every client is different, so I don’t just go through the motions; I get creative (and then I hustle) to get your deal done!
I serve as your personal home-buying or selling consultant.
I focus on consulting (never pressuring) you to find the perfect home, make the right investment, and/or position your home to sell at top dollar. I’m a knowledgeable professional, but I make decisions with you, because no one knows what you want better than you. Allowing me to be your consultant, means we focus on getting you what you want.
I offer you the best of the tried-and-true, combined with the latest disruption.
As a former Uber leader, disruption is in my DNA. I closely follow prop tech and partner with many organizations. By partnering with me, you will not only get access to the latest innovations, but you will also get good ole’ fashioned service — full service, before, during, and long after buying or selling your home.
