theFrontSteps – San Francisco

What was… Is now… But not yet… Look for this to hit MLS any day, unless someone goes and knocks the seller’s socks off with a big time offer between now and this weekend. Sold in May of 2012 for $489,000 as a “Great opportunity for a developer to build a stunning 4 bedroom, 3.5 [...]

My golden rule in real estate sales and searching for the right home…unless the front of the home is actually drop dead fantastic and the best selling feature, take a “drive by” with a grain of salt. Case in point, 369 Upper Terrace: From the front, it’s a bit of a duck, but on the [...]

If you like coming to, or living in, San Francisco, and shopping is your thing, 333 Grant is quite possibly your nirvana. A chip shot away from Prada, Banana Republic, North Face, Nike, Neiman Marcus, Levi’s, Macy’s, Salvatore Ferragamo, Louis Vuitton, Apple, Burberry, Chanel, Maiden Lane, American Apparel…you name it…it’s all here, it’s all around [...]

Are you, or any of your friends, looking for a single family home in Noe or Cole Valleys (or anywhere in San Francisco for that matter)? Are you getting beat out by multiple offers in the over million dollar price range ($1.5M+), and showing up late to the party? Is your Realtor telling you they’re [...]

I have come across another great opportunity for all of you one bedroom buyers that would love to be in one of San Francisco’s best locations…South Park. This unit has been marketed off of MLS for a fair bit, and I’m surprised to hear it still available. Details are here, the listing agent is here, [...]

Are you a lover of Modern (particularly Mid-Century) like me? Are you looking for a home that you just can’t seem to find anywhere else? Do you have a budget up to $2,200,000? If so, I have found the home for you. I have been asked not to share any photos of this particular home [...]

It’s Friday, I wanna roll outta town and find some sun, or just a tiny plot to build my skinny house, in which I will sip skinny girl cocktails with colorful wooden umbrellas… – …and embrace my claustrophobia. -Keret House, Warsaw Poland

If it’s a high style three bedroom, three bath 2300 +/- square foot completely remodeled Noe Valley home with Hi-Def views you crave, yours truly has the one for you. This home is not on MLS, and it’s not even on PocketListings.net. It’s so not even “ON” that there is only one way to get [...]
