Welcome to our new site!
Welcome to the new look of theFrontSteps. Although I was hoping to change the site up completely, I learned a lot from my attempt on .ORG to steer me into keeping things very much the same, but changing servers to allow more flexibility on future features, posts, and anything else. The first thing I have … Continue reading Welcome to our new site!

Mac it is…learning (and vacation) begins
Getting to know the San Francisco real estate market is (relatively) easy, getting to know a new iMac is something altogether daunting. Have no fear, I will prevail and theFrontSteps will be running at full speed come August 25th or so. Yup, I bought a new iMac, this one to be exact, and there is … Continue reading Mac it is…learning (and vacation) begins
“…all this posting of properties on blogs just complicates things.”
Says Realtor to us after not disclosing to him the address of a pocket listing [off market deal] we had known about. (This after his client contacted us directly interested in the property, and the selling agent made us swear on our grandmother’s grave not to disclose the address [publicly online] to anyone in order … Continue reading “…all this posting of properties on blogs just complicates things.”
Change is in the wind on theFrontSteps, welcome new writers
We tried to allow the community a voice with theFrontSteps.ORG, and tried to do it with earlier versions of this very site, but somehow just couldn’t find the mix. So we’re trying it again. We have hand selected a few of the more frequent contributors to this site and asked them to blog directly under … Continue reading Change is in the wind on theFrontSteps, welcome new writers

St. Regis, 188 Minna #33D, Back on Market!
So you heard me complain, and cry, and moan that my clients missed out on unit 33D at the St. Regis. Well, now it’s back on the market, still $3,695,000, still spectacular, and still available. The buyer, which just so happened to be represented by the seller’s agent as well, has walked (the wife claiming … Continue reading St. Regis, 188 Minna #33D, Back on Market!
Twittering the day away
It’s one of those days, and I’ll be on my Twitter account twittering the day away, and away from any sort of computer (until I get that new iPhone). If there is a bit of stalker in you (there is in all of us), you know what to do. Otherwise, enjoy the day!
Coming Soon: 2950 Vallejo, it’ll only take you $25,000,000
Nestled into, or perched atop (it’s all perspective), one of the most prestigious hills in San Francisco (we’d almost go so far as to say the world), 2950 Vallejo appears to be coming soon…for $25,000,000. From our reader: One of my absolutely favorite houses is hitting the market. You probably already know this, but I … Continue reading Coming Soon: 2950 Vallejo, it’ll only take you $25,000,000

Hats off to those that attended … Continue reading San Francisco Real Estate? Who needs it? We raised $32,320!
theFrontSteps is trying Twitter!
Testing out yet another new (to us) time vacuum, I thought we’d give this Twitter thing a go on theFrontSteps. If you care to track it, you can do so here (I think): twitter.com/theFrontSteps. There is certainly going to be a learning curve for this, but it does have some potential for real estate obsessed … Continue reading theFrontSteps is trying Twitter!
