Another multiple offer situation, another happy buyer thrilled to beat out 10 others for this amazing home at 2139 15th Ave in the Inner Parkside. It’s not easy to win as buyer in the Single Family market in San Francisco, but with the right strategy, right relationships, and right approach your odds increase tremendously.

From the marketing:

This thoughtfully remodeled home honors the past with carefully preserved vintage details and old world charm throughout. The open arches in the living room, dining room and kitchen are masterfully placed to showcase a wall of west-facing windows and dazzling ocean views. The main level boasts two expansive bedrooms and an oversized hallway bathroom. The walkout deck on the lower level unfolds from a reimagined master suite added with permits in 2012. Similarly, the ensuite guest room on this level offers a quiet and serene retreat. A one car garage with interior access, a laundry vestibule adjacent the master suite, and landscaped front and rear gardens with drought resistant plants complete this remarkable home.

If you, or anyone you know, are looking to buy or sell San Francisco/Bay Area real estate, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Happy Holidays From Me To You!

thefrontsteps Leave a comment

I hope you all have a great Holiday and Happy New Year. I’m checking out of the blog for the remainder of 2016. Enjoy your time with family. Eat a bunch. Ski. Surf. Sit on the beach. Laugh. Be chill. Pray for Snow.

I leave you with a picture of my bad ass 75 year old dad cutting and hauling (make-shift straps mind you) a Christmas tree last week by way of Cross Country Skis and handsaws.

Happy Holidays

Is Facebook watching me! Look what just showed up on my feed…my very own boys cutting and hauling teamwork style back in 2012.

gromsgrabtree2012

Merry Christmas! Happy Hanukkah! Happy New Year!

Get after it! No Excuses.

Congratulations to my clients that recently purchased this amazing single family view home in prime Noe Valley at 956 Elizabeth St. With vultures circling, we were able to beat the competition by submitting a pre-emptive offer at a price acceptable to the seller, avoid any frenzied bidding wars, and get it to stick…which it did.

Time For An Intermission

thefrontsteps Leave a comment

Like Warren Miller always says, “Now it’s time for one of these…Intermission”. In my case, an intermission from blogging. Back to normal programming in early 2016.

This site will also be undergoing a redesign, so if you happen to land here when it looks totally weird, and possibly not working properly, please be patient, and check back later. Or contact me.

Happy New Year Everyone! Hope your holidays are going great. Here is to much success, fun, good vibes, and great times in 2016.

If you need help buying or selling Bay Area real estate, please contact me, and I’ll be in touch asap.

Congratulations to my buyers (x4), and my off market seller! That was quite the whirlwind of activity, and I’m thrilled we were able to pull it all off.

As my client said on my LinkedIn profile, I pulled off a “hat trick that [he] thought was impossible in the crazy San Francisco real estate market…” by not only helping him win a 15 (or more) offer situation on 2169 Folsom (Rex Ray’s old pad), but also coordinating the off market sale of his condominium to New York buyers buying his home (2186A 15th St) sight unseen.

I should add we pulled this off with making the purchase of Folsom contingent upon the sale of 15th…almost unheard of in this market, but we did it! And a special thanks to the listing agent for sticking with us. Phew!

In addition to the above trifecta, I represented the buyers of a great “new” condominium at 323 A Church. Another multiple offer situation that was quite touch and go all the way until the very end, I used my connections at SFO to make sure my buyers’ flight from Germany was not delayed and arrived on time, so they could sign their loan/buyer documents that day or risk getting kicked out of contract:

I also represented buyers of 870 Chestnut, which turned out to be a walk in the park compared to the other deals, as it only contained the usual lender headaches and seller hardball tactics that are almost guaranteed to be a part of any transaction

Big hats off to all of my wonderful clients past, present, and future. Because of you, life is good. I hope you all enjoy your new homes, and remember I am here for you, always.

I appreciate all of you readers near and far, many of whom have become clients and friends, and look forward to connecting with all of you when it’s time for you, or anyone you know, to buy and sell San Francisco real estate.

If you’ve had it in your mind to buy or sell during the post Labor Day listing Bonanza and usual market spike, we should talk now to get your ducks in a row.

Carry on, and continue enjoying your Summer….

I Will “Deal Honestly With Everyone” | Testimonial

thefrontsteps Leave a comment

Having Alex sell our house was a great decision. I loved how knowledgeable he was about the market and the city in general. I’m a numbers girl and Alex knows them, I love The Goods and the tally up of overbids on the blog, really shows his attention to detail.
I have to admit I am a tough client as I fancy myself an arm chair real estate expert, but Alex exceeded my expectations. I don’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone I know looking to buy and sell in the Bay Area. I always know he is going to bring his vast knowledge to the table and deal honestly with everyone involved.
-Melissa

Muchas Gracias! Was a pleasure to help.
