I just closed on a purchase for buyers at the Infinity, one of the best luxury condo developments that sits near the edge of the Embarcadero in SF. What is unusual about the nice buyers I represented is that sadly they lost their home in the Santa Rosa fire. A loss like this is tremendous – all of those cherished mementos like family photos, furnishings, art and so much more up in flames. It is not an easy thing to …

“Buying a home in San Francisco is something else. You want an agent who knows the market, will keep you focused on what matters and above all is someone you can trust. Carol was that person to us and we’re so grateful that she helped us find our home. As first time buyers, we not only appreciated Carol’s methodical approach, but also her calm support during what in this hot market is an emotional journey. Carol guided us through the …
When I first moved to San Francisco in 1987, I looked out at the Marina from the top of Fillmore Street in Pacific Heights. I was in awe of the pastel colors of the homes in this neighborhood overlooking the Bay. It could have been a Mediterranean fishing village. Chestnut Street at the time had a number of local shops but no chain stores. They were still to come. The place to go at night was “the Triangle,” which was …
Something is changing a bit in the real estate market. I am seeing more price reductions, properties staying on the market longer, agents hesitating about having offer dates and properties coming back on the market. This is usually a sign that the market is changing. Of course, it is the summer and people are away on vacation so this sometimes slows things down a bit. I am also hearing that east coast markets have slowed as well as southern California …
“Thank you for your and your team’s excellent work! This went as smoothly as I can imagine,” said my client whose property I just sold at 1487 Greenwich, #32, for substantially over the asking price. I LOVE when I make clients happy. …
How exciting for this young family to have finally found and successfully competed for their first home in their favorite SF neighborhood – the Inner Richmond. Meet Chandler and Jenny and their cute daughter, Zoe. I have been working with them about 7 months helping them find their dream home. We initially toured some properties together. I looked for them on Broker Tour (Tuesdays in SF when specific times for new and repeat listings in given neighborhoods are offered to …
I am excited to bring on a new listing of a three bedroom Edwardian condo which I like to describe by saying “where old world charm meets modern design.” It is located at 1487 Greenwich, #32, in Russian Hill, where Russian Hill, Cow Hollow and the Marina converge. Facing Greenwich, the condo has “peek-a-boo” views of the Bay from the kitchen, dining and living rooms. It has a spacious Master Suite and two more bedrooms plus two baths. It is …
On Wednesday, I went into contract on two properties, my listing above at 333B Cherry Street in Presidio Heights, and a condo in the Inner Richmond for a sweet couple who are buying it. That’s a good day!:) My Cherry Street listing went over asking and was bought by a couple from southern California whose son and daughter-in-law live in Bernal Heights and she is expecting next week! This will make a perfect pied a terre for them to come …
Sometimes the seemingly mundane things like carefully reviewing a preliminary title report can save you a lot of headaches when buying or selling a home. What is a preliminary title report? A preliminary title report is a report prepared prior to issuing a policy of title insurance that shows the ownership of a specific parcel of land, together with the liens and encumbrances thereon, which will not be covered under the title insurance policy being issued. Title reports can reveal …
My latest listing finally hit the market! Imagine owning a charming studio overlooking a serene garden oasis. In the midst of much-desired bucolic Presidio Heights, this condo is perfect for a first-time buyer, as a pied-à-terre or for someone looking for a welcoming extra space for visiting guests. The unit has a modern kitchen with granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances and an eating area with a view of the garden. Beautifully designed attractive wood cabinetry separates the kitchen from …
