Yes, the asterisk is there, but so too is the sale somewhere around $3M for 752 Carolina, a single family home in Potrero Hill that hit the market end of February, was in contract 8 days later and just closed escrow…cash. Was it the suburban feel: or the blue paint that did it? We have … Continue reading Potrero Hill Home sells for $3,000,000*

Ask Us: Selling a home off the market
Where readers ask, and we try to answer. Why do agents shop houses off-MLS or before they hit the market?-E.S. I shop places off the market simply because my clients say, “If you find me a buyer, I’ll sell it, but I’m not listing it on MLS, not doing open houses, and not doing signs.” … Continue reading Ask Us: Selling a home off the market
Ped vs. Muni…again!
File this under absolutely nothing to do with real estate, but everything to do with living in San Francisco. This is such a common problem that the only trauma hospital in San Francisco has its own classification for accidents like this, they call it “Ped vs. Muni”. You’ve seen it before, you’re sitting at a … Continue reading Ped vs. Muni…again!
Battle Royale: San Francisco or Los Angeles, if you had to choose
by Alex Clark Sometimes I get plain bored of talking about San Francisco real estate and I dream of faraway places.

Vizzie my house, take two! Voice over edition
The first take on our vocal tour of 1628 Broderick (San Francisco), didn’t get high marks, to say the least. So what about if you change the property to a swank high rise penthouse in Sydney, dub in a sweet Australian accent, and leave the Realtor wisely off the tape? The folks at VizzVox would … Continue reading Vizzie my house, take two! Voice over edition

Two years, two listings, one building, same agent, different market (2185 Bush #311)
I’m going against what I usually do and actually talking about one of my listings. Why? Because there is a good story. Two years ago, I had this listing at 2185 Bush #315. I put this place on the market literally a few weeks prior to the peak we experienced in 2005. It hit MLS, … Continue reading Two years, two listings, one building, same agent, different market (2185 Bush #311)
Battle Royale: San Francisco or New York City, if you had to choose
Just back from my trip to New York City, I couldn’t help but constantly do as so many San Franciscans surely do while there…that is compare our city to theirs. To be clear, for the most part, this is an apples to oranges comparison. Their population (8.2 Million) is roughly 11 times our 750,000. In … Continue reading Battle Royale: San Francisco or New York City, if you had to choose
