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.”
