San Francisco is not simply where we do business, it has been our home for over 50 years.
San Francisco is not simply where we do business; it has been our home for over 50 years. Thanks to the many meaningful connections we have made over the years with our neighbors, their return business, and their referrals — our business has grown to what it is today. We could not have achieved these incredible results without being committed to making a positive change and helping others succeed. This goes far beyond navigating the nuanced, complicated and often emotional process of buying and selling homes in San Francisco. It means, building a stronger community – TOGETHER.
Bernal Heights Neighborhood Center
Legacy Real Estate has been a long-time supporter of the Bernal Heights Community Center that serves Bernal Heights, Excelsior, and surrounding neighborhoods. The organization is dedicated to preserving and enhancing the ethnic, cultural, and economic diversity of our amazing community. We support their mission to provide and preserve stable and affordable housing for adults with low incomes and special needs. Each October we enjoy showing our support with a booth at Fiesta on the Hill. We look forward to seeing you there this year!
OldSkool Cafe
The Bayview’s Old Skool Cafe is an incredible dining and musical experience located on the corner of 3rd and Quesada. It is also a faith-based violence prevention program for our community’s at-risk youth aged 16 – 22. Old Skool cafe steps in to help our most at-risk youth break the loop of incarceration and recidivism by providing a foundation of support, education, and life-skills. We highly recommend sampling the gumbo and live entertainment each Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.
SF Playhouse
We have been longtime patrons and supporters of the San Francisco Playhouse. It is a beautiful nonprofit theatre in downtown San Francisco and we have had the pleasure of taking clients to see a family friendly performance each year. Established in 2003, the Playhouse stages nine major performances each year, including world and regional premieres. We highly recommend this venue for quality productions and promoting the arts.

As a longtime San Francisco resident, Carren’s neighborhood expertise is invaluable. She’s lived all over the city, including the Sunset, Russian Hill, Bernal Heights, and Bayview, where she currently lives. She’s deeply involved in her community—she volunteers for a low-income housing non-profit and sits on the board of the Bernal Heights Neighborhood Center. She’s also president of the housing board and is a tutor at Monroe Elementary School.
Carren has owned a property in Sonoma County for over 15 years and has successfully helped numerous clients relocate to Healdsburg. Carren understands the unique market both on and off Russian River. She enjoys spending part of each week in Healdsburg visiting new homes and reaping the benefits of the warmer weather, access to Russian River, and of course the wine.
Jennifer Burden grew up watching her parents build a thriving real estate business in San Francisco, and some of her earliest memories are of helping them host open houses. A California native and graduate of both Mission High School and San Francisco State University, the City has always been home to Jennifer. Although she moved to New York to get a degree in law and worked as a public defender in Miami, what she calls “the greatest city in the world” called her back in 2000.
It’s been Jennifer’s mission to help others succeed in the San Francisco market since 2004. She considers owning real estate to be a worthwhile financial and personal endeavor, and because she’s witnessed the life-changing power of real estate since she was a child, she works with unwavering dedication to create positive experiences for her clients.
