San Francisco Probate, Partition & Trust Specialist

Allison Chapleau

Senior Vice President, Compass Commercial Brokerage

For more than 24 years, Allison Chapleau has worked in exactly one market: San Francisco.

Much of her business comes from relationships that outlast a single transaction: property owners, families, and investors who come back to her sale after sale. She brings the same care and discretion to every deal, but that matters most on the transactions where a property carries more than financial weight, a probate estate, a partition dispute, a family trust.

Her specialty is the complicated transaction: the one that needs a real valuation, pricing that can survive pushback, and buyers who are actually qualified to close. That combination of financial analysis and hands-on guidance carries a listing from the first walkthrough to closing, and through court confirmation when the sale requires it.

Two-plus decades in San Francisco have given her a feel for how each district actually trades, how investors think, and what moves a number up or down that isn't always obvious from the comps. She graduated from the University of San Francisco with a degree in Business Administration and a minor in Finance, and has spent her entire career since serving property owners in this city.

The goal doesn't change deal to deal: protect the client, generate real demand, and land a strong outcome, whether that's a straightforward listing or a court-supervised sale with several parties at the table.
