I recently represented separate sellers of two different modern condos, one built in 2004 and the other in 2007. They each bought their condos within several years of each other in strong markets. They both just sold their units. One was a two bedroom condo in the Mission whose photograph appears above and one was a one bedroom view condo with lots of amenities in Mission Bay. With the run-up in the real estate market, one would expect that each …

I’m from Pennsylvania and I am still adjusting to having to vote for propositions on the ballot. Personally, while it sounds like a good idea to give people the opportunity to put initiatives on the ballot that have a certain amount of support, I don’t think in reality it is such a good idea. As voters, we don’t have sufficient information about the economic impact a particular proposition may have. We vote for things in a vacuum, not understanding …
A client of mine recently sold his beautiful home in Noe Valley. In the next year or so he would like to purchase another property. Since he just turned 55 this year, he is fortunate to have the opportunity to buy a property of lesser value within the next two years and transfer the original tax assessment of the property he just sold to his new residence; this will result in him paying less in real property taxes. Proposition 60 …
The market in San Francisco has been moving quickly over the last six months. An example of this can be found in the Central Richmond neighborhood of the city. Six siblings who still owned their family home after their parents had passed decided it was time to let go and sell it. While this was not an easy decision for them, they felt they needed to move forward. I came into the process as they were in the middle …
Watch out – you may just fall in love with my brand new listing at 288 Chattanooga! It is a newly and extensively renovated 3 bedroom, 3 bath Noe Valley Victorian. The owner, Ken Martin, is an architect who has a unique flare for creating spaces with inspired modern design perfect for 21st Century living. This is not your cookie-cutter renovation and is truly worth seeing. There are so many great details to his design like the dramatic loft-like, open …
When buying a home, make sure your realtor goes over the preliminary title report with you. There could be unexpected surprises within! A home in the Richmond neighborhood which recently had a sale pending, did not close on time and almost did not close at all. The reason? The sellers had taken back a second mortgage from the prior owner when they bought the home. As they were getting ready to close, the escrow company gave notice to the prior …
Imagine you are buying a property and you discover that $350,000 worth of seismic work is required. That is exactly what happened recently with an agent in my office whose client was buying a 6 unit building. Buyers must be aware that when buying a property, they may be subject to the San Francisco Soft Story ordinance that went into effect last year. If you are buying a condo, you may be buying into a percentage of the cost for …
Noe Valley is one of my favorite neighborhoods in the city. It has sentimental value for me since my husband and I purchased our first home there – a two bedroom condo with a fireplace and outlooks to a beautifully manicured garden. I have many fond memories of that 850 square foot condo! But when we bought it in 1990, Noe was not the Noe Valley we now know. In fact, a few short years before we made our purchase, …
Yesterday morning, I met with a brother and sister who are planning to sell their family home in the Richmond neighborhood of San Francisco. They have gone to a lot of trouble to renovate the home since it hasn’t been touched in many years. During our discussion, I brought up staging and strongly recommended that they stage their home. They seemed a little surprised that it would even be necessary. After all, it is a newly renovated home. Imagine …
