From one agent, to their company, and we’re bringing it to you. I have some clients who applied to the Tax Board to have their property tax basis reduced and the city rejected it, even though they presented valid comps indicating their property value has decreased (they live in Pacific Heights). I’m wondering if [any [...]

To the untrained eye it might look as if our lovely city by the bay has the Chickenpox. Alas! ‘Tis not the case.

Having just purchased our first bag of “Sweet Tooth Espresso” from Ritual Roasters after more than six years of dedicated grinding, tamping, and pouring exclusively of Blue Bottle Coffee, we’re a bit torn as to what to do.

How ’bout a little celebrity (postmortem) juice to take you to the weekend. As it turns out, my client’s Dad actually saved Michael Jackson during the hair catching on fire incident, when filming the Pepsi commercial. Certainly, many of you remember that.
