Aimee Arost
Bernal Heights Specialist
With a background in law and years of experience as an attorney, I transitioned to real estate to combine my legal expertise with a strategic, client-focused approach. This foundation allowed me to quickly establish a successful business built on trust, meaningful relationships, and enthusiastic referrals. Building on this success, I became a partner at the Bay Area’s largest independent brokerage, where I led its flagship office and oversaw thousands of transactions. Later, I joined Compass, a fast-paced, tech-driven national firm, playing an integral role in its ascent as the region’s premier real estate company. After over 15 years in leadership overseeing thousands of transactions and billions in sales, I returned to working directly with clients. I was thrilled to focus on what I value most: combining expertise and strategic insights to meet my clients’ distinct needs and priorities while cultivating the meaningful relationships that have always defined my work.
I’ve lived in Bernal Heights since 2002, raising my son and various animals. You’ve like seen me walking my dog around Bernal Hill or Holly Park, grabbing coffee at Progressive Grounds or Martha’s, or picking up groceries at Good Life. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of helping many of my neighbors buy or sell (or both!) their homes, and I’m grateful to be part of such a vibrant, creative, and diverse community.
“Aimee was great to work with, she helped me get my dream place in San Francisco, in the face of very stiff competition. Plus, I was a first-time home buyer so I needed a lot of hand-holding and I got it! Aimee was patient, straightforward, and completely trustworthy. It was a great experience.”

What makes Bernal Heights so special?
“A strong inclusive community with one-of-a-kind shops, great parks, divine bakeries and restaurants, a sidewalk chess club, and a million other treats.”
— Long-time Bernal resident
