When I first moved to San Francisco in 1987, I looked out at the Marina from the top of Fillmore Street in Pacific Heights. I was in awe of the pastel colors of the homes in this neighborhood overlooking the Bay. It could have been a Mediterranean fishing village. Chestnut Street at the time had a number of local shops but no chain stores. They were still to come. The place to go at night was “the Triangle,” which was …

Something is changing a bit in the real estate market. I am seeing more price reductions, properties staying on the market longer, agents hesitating about having offer dates and properties coming back on the market. This is usually a sign that the market is changing. Of course, it is the summer and people are away on vacation so this sometimes slows things down a bit. I am also hearing that east coast markets have slowed as well as southern California …
“Thank you for your and your team’s excellent work! This went as smoothly as I can imagine,” said my client whose property I just sold at 1487 Greenwich, #32, for substantially over the asking price. I LOVE when I make clients happy. …
How exciting for this young family to have finally found and successfully competed for their first home in their favorite SF neighborhood – the Inner Richmond. Meet Chandler and Jenny and their cute daughter, Zoe. I have been working with them about 7 months helping them find their dream home. We initially toured some properties together. I looked for them on Broker Tour (Tuesdays in SF when specific times for new and repeat listings in given neighborhoods are offered to …
I am excited to bring on a new listing of a three bedroom Edwardian condo which I like to describe by saying “where old world charm meets modern design.” It is located at 1487 Greenwich, #32, in Russian Hill, where Russian Hill, Cow Hollow and the Marina converge. Facing Greenwich, the condo has “peek-a-boo” views of the Bay from the kitchen, dining and living rooms. It has a spacious Master Suite and two more bedrooms plus two baths. It is …
On Wednesday, I went into contract on two properties, my listing above at 333B Cherry Street in Presidio Heights, and a condo in the Inner Richmond for a sweet couple who are buying it. That’s a good day!:) My Cherry Street listing went over asking and was bought by a couple from southern California whose son and daughter-in-law live in Bernal Heights and she is expecting next week! This will make a perfect pied a terre for them to come …
Sometimes the seemingly mundane things like carefully reviewing a preliminary title report can save you a lot of headaches when buying or selling a home. What is a preliminary title report? A preliminary title report is a report prepared prior to issuing a policy of title insurance that shows the ownership of a specific parcel of land, together with the liens and encumbrances thereon, which will not be covered under the title insurance policy being issued. Title reports can reveal …
My latest listing finally hit the market! Imagine owning a charming studio overlooking a serene garden oasis. In the midst of much-desired bucolic Presidio Heights, this condo is perfect for a first-time buyer, as a pied-à-terre or for someone looking for a welcoming extra space for visiting guests. The unit has a modern kitchen with granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances and an eating area with a view of the garden. Beautifully designed attractive wood cabinetry separates the kitchen from …
Presidio Heights is one of my favorite neighborhoods in San Francisco and I have lived in four of them. Each one has its own special characteristics. What I love about Presidio Heights is its amazing location! I can walk less than three blocks to the Presidio National Park. Less than two blocks down the street, I can stroll along Sacramento Street with its popular shops like Poetica, excellent restaurants like Sociale, and one of SF’s oldest movie houses, the Vogue …
My latest listing in Fairmount Heights, a district within Glen Park that is up a hill yet very close to the Noe Valley border, has created a bit of a stir for the letter my clients wrote to potential buyers. While buyers often write letters to sellers and include them in their offers, it is unusual for sellers to write a letter to prospective buyers. Potential buyers looking at the condo like the fact that my sellers took the time …
