San Francisco has a lot to offer in the way of fun activities. There are things you can do in this city that you can’t do anywhere else – like sailing in San Francisco Bay!

My husband, Michael, decided a number of years ago that since he was living in SF, he should learn how to sail. He decided to …
Living in San Francisco affords us close proximity to some of the most beautiful parks and beaches. Last Sunday, my husband Michael and I went on one of our favorite hikes in the Bay Area.

In recent years, I have had several listings where the seller was either in bankruptcy or on the verge of bankruptcy due to some personal misfortune. If you are a seller in bankruptcy or on the verge of bankruptcy or if you are a realtor representing someone who is, you will find the following article by Cathy Moran, a bankruptcy attorney, invaluable. Cathy assisted me through several such escrows and her help was priceless. One of the most valuable lessons …
Happy New Year! The number one thing that people are asking me these days is this: What do you think is happening with the SF real estate market? I wish there was an easy answer. All I can tell you is what one of the pros says and my personal experience. According to Carol Radoni, a real estate expert, “2016 is going to be a chaotic, choppy, sloppy year.” Translating this, she means that it will be an up and …
