A Brief Introduction
Finlay Pacific is a boutique commercial real estate brokerage in San Francisco. We do the slow, careful work of understanding our clients— their teams, their economics, their next decade — before recommending a square foot.

How we work
01
Listen
Before square feet, we map the business — your team, runway, growth model, and what the next decade looks like.
02
Strategize
We design a market approach calibrated to your risk, timing, and economics — not the broker's commission cycle.
03
Negotiate
Partner-led, line-by-line. We trade on terms long after a typical broker has closed and moved on.
04
Steward
We stay engaged through occupancy, renewals, and the next chapter — because the relationship is the asset.
Sectors served
Wherever ambitious teams put down roots.
Venture-backed technology
Professional services
Creative agencies
Non-profits
Private equity & finance
Life sciences
Family offices
Founder-led firms
San Francisco
We know every block — and every owner — between the Embarcadero and Van Ness.
In their words
Matthew didn't sell us a building. He spent eight months understanding our team before we ever toured a space. That's the difference.
