Without giving reasons, Mark Zuckerberg decided to sell the house that exceeds 700 square meters and that he bought a decade ago in the exclusive neighborhood of Dolores Heights, in San Francisco. Although many suppose that it is due to the repeated complaints from their neighbors.
The property valued at $31 millionhas already been reserved by an individual, according to a grant deed filed with the city on July 1.
The buyer is from Delaware and the paperwork for the transfer of the house was sent to Michael Gordon, an attorney who specializes in trusts and estate planning.
Meta’s CEO had paid around 10 million dollars for the house in November 2012. The mansion is near the Mission District and the Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center.
The sale, noted The Real Deal, a news website specializing in real estate, has gone down in history as the largest residential deal so far this year, surpassing the closing last week of a pair of penthouses by just $2 million. that previously belonged to former Secretary of State George Shultz.

Among the possible reasons why the 38-year-old businessman decided to sell his home, it is believed that it is because of the discomfort it caused among its neighbors During the last years.
In the recent phase, while the house was under construction, there were six complaints filed with the city for issues related to dust, noise and parking.
Once the bulk of the construction was complete, neighbors complained that their security team was taking up “desirable parking spaces.”
Many told CBS San Francisco that Zuckerberg hired young people to sleep in their cars overnight to keep extra seats beyond those allocated for construction vehicles. According to the person in charge of the work, the work team is 40 people.
Earlier that year, an anonymous neighbor described living next door to Zuckerberg as “cumbersome.” “I think we have all tried to be as patient and as civil as possible during the long construction, noise, garbage and street blockages,” he wrote in a leaked letter to the press.
“Now that all that circus is over, we have two vans left permanently, taking up parking spaces,” the resident said at the time.
