South San Francisco is a city in San Mateo County, California, United States, located on the San Francisco Peninsula in the San Francisco Bay Area. The population was 60,552 at the 2000 census.

The city lies north of San Francisco International Airport in a small valley between San Bruno Mountain and the Coast Range. The city is served by two major highways, U.S. Route 101 (the Bayshore Freeway) and Interstate 280. A BART station, located directly adjacent to El Camino High School and Solaire Transit Village, opened in 2003, supplementing Caltrain service to San Francisco and San Jose. The city's small downtown and several aging residential subdivisions, such as Mayfair Village, Sunshine Gardens, Avalon Park, Winston Manor, and Rancho Buri Buri, are located west of Highway 101, while the area east of Highway 101 is dominated by bland industrial complexes interspersed with futuristic office parks, particularly the Oyster Point Marina. The extreme western portions of the city near Interstate 280 sit along a hillside and offer views of San Francisco Bay. This area is known to local residents as Westborough. The southern part of the city, closest to the airport, is home to a large number of car repair shops, airport parking lots, and airport hotels.

Locals refer to the town as "South City," in much the same way that San Francisco is called "The City." People unfamiliar with the area often mistake South San Francisco as the southern part of the city of San Francisco.

South San Francisco is part of the South San Francisco Unified School District, which also serves portions of the neighboring cities of Daly City and San Bruno. The city is home to two public high schools: El Camino High School and South San Francisco High School, which share a cross-town rivalry. The city also has three public middle schools: Parkway Heights, Westborough, and Alta Loma. These public high and middle schools, as well as a number of public elementary schools, and an adult school, South San Francisco Adult Education, are part of the South San Francisco Unified School District. Several parochial schools are also established in the city: All Souls School, Mater Delorosa School (recently closed), and St. Veronica's School.

South San Francisco occupies the basin and portions of the sides of a broad valley formed by the San Bruno Mountains on the north and the Coast Range on the west. Most of the valley faces adjacent San Francisco Bay, affording sweeping vistas, from higher levels and a definite sense of identification with the Bay. South San Francisco has mild winters and dry cool summers. The hills to the west shield the city from much of the fog that prevails in neighboring areas. The town of South San Francisco emerged from a portion of the old Rancho Buri Buri, which was provisionally granted by the Mexican Government to Jose Antonio Sanchez in 1827. Charles Lux bought 1,464 acres of Buri Buri land and became a partner of Henry Miller, thus forming the firm of Miller and Lux, Pacific Coast land barons and cattle kings. It was on this property that Charles Lux built his family a beautiful country home. Through his heirs, the Lux Ranch was sold to Peter Iler and became the site of the thriving industrial city. The site for South San Francisco was selected by G.F. Swift and purchased by Peter Iler of Omaha in 1890 for the establishment of stock- yards and a market place for cattle produced in the area similar to the stockyards in South Omaha. Needing money, they became allied with some Chicago capitalists and formed two joint stock corporations, one named South San Francisco Land and Improvement Company, while the other corporate body was known as Western Meat Company. South San Francisco, "The Industrial City" was incorporated on September 19, 1908. The name for South San Francisco followed the pattern planned by G.F. Swift, whose company had taken over the Western Meat Company, as his other plants were "South Chicago" and "South Omaha". Other industries followed during the years and the two world wars brought, temporarily, to the waterfront, a considerable shipbuilding industry. Since World War II, South San Francisco has become a well-balanced community of industrial and residential areas. Approximately 2,250 acres of land are now devoted to manufacturing, wholesaling, transportation facilities and utilities. Population has tripled since the World War II with the opening of such subdivisions as Buri Buri, Winston Manor and Westborough on the slopes west of El Camino. It has grown from 4,411 in 1920 to 60,552 in 2000. South San Francisco offers its citizens a city in which to live comfortably in fine residential areas; a place of recreation in parks, swimming pools, and marina; a place to work in more than 3,200 firms and businesses. South San Francisco will celebrate its 100th birthday in 2008. The City will celebrate with a year-long centennial birthday party which all of our residents are invited to participate in! Planning is currently underway and updates will be posted on the website as they become available.

The Real Estate industry in rapidly changing and marketing is changing as well. With the age of the internet taking over marketing practices there are critical elements about selling Real Estate that 85% of experienced agents don't even know about anymore.

Question 1 : Do you know what Twitter is and do you have an account? Do you market with Twitter?

Question 2 : Do you have a Facebook account and do you use it to market my property?

Question 3: What is Google Adwords?

Question 4 : What is Trulia.com?

Question 5:  What is Movoto.com

Question 6: What is a Landing Page and do you provide that with our Listing?

Question 7: Do you provide options to me to sell my home? Or do you just have one basic listing format?

Question 8: Do you have a blog and do you blog actively? Will you be able to blog about my property?

Question 9: Is your profile listed on http://www.route2realestate.com?

Question 10: Can you give me stats on a weekly basis of how many unique visitors look at my property online?

If your Realtor can not answer these questions, or answers them partially, chances are your property is not being marketed correctly for the 21st Century. 85% of all home searches begin online and if you do not have an agent who is up to date on these current practices, you are selling yourself short.
