Happy New Year! The number one thing that people are asking me these days is this: What do you think is happening with the SF real estate market? I wish there was an easy answer. All I can tell you is what one of the pros says and my personal experience. According to Carol Radoni, a real estate expert, “2016 is going to be a chaotic, choppy, sloppy year.” Translating this, she means that it will be an up and …

I was about to write a post today regarding the SF market but decided to write something different. I don’t know about you but all of this news about the Syrian refugees is very sad and hard to get out of my mind. It’s especially hard to see photos of frightened children walking along or being carried by their parents. I am in the home business and these people are being brutally chased from their homes. If they don’t leave, …
One of the benefits of buying a home in San Francisco is that it opens you up to lodging around the world for free! How does this happen you may wonder. One site that offers you the chance to exchange homes is called HomeExchange.com. My husband, Michael, and I have enjoyed exchanging homes with people locally and around the world for a fee of about $100 a year through this website. We have stayed in beautiful homes and apartments in …

She had received a call from someone who questioned her about the quality of my service as a real estate professional during the sale of her home, and she gave me glowing reviews! In June, I was contacted and asked to respond to a questionnaire …

Komen SF Bay Area helps to meet the health needs of low income, under-insured and uninsured women and men in the SF Bay Area by applying 75% of the net funds to the breast health needs in the community, and the remaining 25% goes towards research <http://ww5.komen.org/researchgrants/researchgrants.html> to find the causes and cures for breast cancer. I walked with my …
One of my favorite cafes in North Beach is Mario’s. In 1987, before my husband, Michael, and I moved to San Francisco, we visited his sister, Ravenna, and her husband, Chuck. Ravenna took me to North Beach to a place called Mario’s Bohemian Cigar Store for lunch. The cigars are no longer there but the café, a long time favorite of mine, still is. At that time, I would have ordered a meatball sandwich (before I swore off beef) and …
