I was recently speaking with someone who has a condo in the city that was built in the early part of the last century. Since it was built prior to June of 1979, it comes under the SF Rent Control Ordinance. She told me that she thought that once the lease is up, she can give the tenant 60 days notice to move out. “Hold on there a minute! Do you want to get hit with a wrongful eviction lawsuit?” I …

I have lived in Presidio Heights for almost 20 years now and have seen changes in the composition of people who live in this beautiful leafy neighborhood. As more people move out of their homes and downsize, younger families have moved in to buy, and some, to renovate homes. It is a great place to live with an unbeatable location near the Presidio and the charming shops of Sacramento Street. The San Francisco real estate market is beginning to change …
Everyone is asking what is happening with the real estate market. When the market changes, it changes on a dime. Sellers have finally realized (perhaps a bit late) that the market has reached its peak. More properties have come on the market this fall giving buyers a much better selection of homes; they can be more picky now. Some overly exuberant sellers have priced their properties too high, thinking that the market would keep going up and now they are …
I’m excited to announce my new listing! It is a beautiful 2 bedroom converted loft in SOMA at 60 Rausch, #308. It is located in mid-Market; this area has really been changing since Twitter brought its offices to 1355 Market Street at 9th. It’s a perfect place for someone working downtown or on the peninsula who wants a spacious retreat to come to at the end of a busy day. The loft is amazingly quiet considering it is in such …
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. …
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 …
