Just Say Eichler…

Following on the heals heels (thanks for catching the spelling fail “word bitch“) of a post I did earlier today about some homes I know are available for sale, but not yet “on the market”, I present to you 76 Amber Drive, an original Eichler, in the Eichler rich zone of San Francisco’s Diamond Heights [...]

Ditch Your Realtor, Get Ahead Of The Pack By Working With Me

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 [...]

So How Low Are Interest Rates?

Interesting tidbit about interest rates should you be considering purchasing a home. Could they get any lower? For more details you can click here. You’ll be taken to a newsletter from my go-to mortgage broker, Tm Wood. He’s good, the market is good, rates are good, the snow is (getting) good, it’s all good.

Do You Like To Golf, Surf, And Ski? So Do I…Let’s Work Together

So You Wanna Post A Picture Of You Skiing Powder On Your Facebook…How ‘Bout We Just Tell Them All The Truth

So how is the snow up in Tahoe…I mean really? As many of you know, I fancy myself a bit of a skier. I watch the weather like a hawk, I have multiple websites and friends I refer to for snow reports, radar imagery, forecasts, and après ski hangouts. If I can, I play hooky [...]

“Recommend Him Highly”-That Would Be Me :-)

What better way to start the week than with a glowing recommendation from some happy clients. For about a year we had been reading Alex’s blog and watching Redfin like hawks. Moving to SF from out of state was challenging, and though we had narrowed down our search to four or five neighborhoods, it was [...]
