636 Steiner…an offer and a UFC style beat down!
by Alexander Clark If you’ve never seen an Ultimate Fighting Championship match you’ll have no idea what I’m talking about, and I know it’s a stretch comparing writing an offer to stepping into the Octagon and taking on the likes of Chuck Liddell, but to some of my clients, they truly feel they are getting … Continue reading 636 Steiner…an offer and a UFC style beat down!

A rectangle on end on the Great Highway
Sometimes it doesn’t have to be on the market to catch our eye. We’ve known about this beach house designed in 1950 by Ernest Born for quite some time (we have a surfer in the house), and also known about its pending publicity in Dwell Magazine, and NY Times, but we kept our lips sealed. But now, the cat … Continue reading A rectangle on end on the Great Highway

One Rincon Hill: Topping off at 631ft. with a picture and VIDEO medley from the 59th & 41st floors.
I had the distinct pleasure of being invited to the “topping off ceremony” at One Rincon Hill this morning.

For now, I thought you’d enjoy … Continue reading One Rincon Hill: Topping off at 631ft. with a picture and VIDEO medley from the 59th & 41st floors.

Let’s step aside for a minute, forget about the price and how quickly this property sold, and ask ourselves…what the hell is with this picture and what the hell does it have to do with selling a house? Okay, back to the scoop. 142 Cervantes is a very nice 3 bed, 3 bath, 2260 square … Continue reading Shaking things up in the Marina (142 Cervantes, a done deal for $2.36M)
