We Made the Papers! But I must add…

Maybe my interview that ran in this article on SFGate, which will also be in the Sunday San Francisco Chronicle, wasn’t necessarily the best spin on what I actually said over the 45 minute conversation with Carol, but a little publicity is always good, and Carol does, for the most part, do a very good [...]

Redfin reboots, or at least adds a SF Bay Area Page

This is all it really takes to get on our good side, and get us to check out a site…again, “We added you to our real estate blog links because we think your site is a great place for people to read up on the SF real estate market.-Redfin” That and cocktails at any reputable [...]

Just outstanding. I’d encourage our realtor [...]

“sfnewsletter ™ Sparks the San Francisco Blogoscene”

Every now and then, you have to toot your own horn.  We’re glad to know we’re taking this blog thing by storm.  It will all come to a screaching halt as soon as the surf gets good again, so don’t get too excited.  (Disclaimer: In San Francisco that is very seldom, so plan on reading [...]
