Yes, we have the right to ask this question, as we are Realtors, and we encounter shady less than professional crooks (yes, crooks) on a weekly basis.

Comment du Jour: “OBAMA or mccain?”
From “Ko Olina”: “Interesting to me that so many of the people contributing here wouldn’t want to somehow reference OBAMA…..mccain….???

Comment du Jour: When Zestimates randomly drop $600,000

San Francisco “needs to Harden the F*** up.”
We thought we’d take the time to introduce you all to “Chopper”, who’d like Australians to quit being so soft. We got to thinking, what if you substitute when he says, “Australia” with San Francisco? It fits quite nicely. San Francisco, it’s time to “Harden the F*** up”. [Editor’s note: If you can’t get a … Continue reading San Francisco “needs to Harden the F*** up.”

I’ll give you MY airplane in exchange for YOUR house
You never know, unless you ask. I have a client with an airplane ($1.2M) who would like to potentially trade/exchange it for a San Francisco property. Given the price, you might contact the sellers of 2016 Pacific #203. Who knows, maybe they’re selling to get out of dodge, and this Adam Aircraft A500 would certainly … Continue reading I’ll give you MY airplane in exchange for YOUR house
Battle Royale: San Francisco or Los Angeles, if you had to choose

I wonder, “What would it be like to live there?” Surely, some of you must wonder the same things. Luckily, we’re getting to the bottom of NYC vs. SF, so I’m not losing sleep … Continue reading Battle Royale: San Francisco or Los Angeles, if you had to choose

How to Make an Otherwise Boring Wall Extraordinary
You’ve seen this kind of art throughout the city, but rarely do you actually get to see the artist at work, and get them to take two seconds to talk to you.
