What’s a doggie dustup and how do I get invited to one?

You wanna know what a doggie dustup is? It's a dog party, a shindig for pooches, a celebration for our beloved canine companions!  And, as luck would have it, one is happening this Saturday at Dolores Park.  "The Whole Enchihuahua", co-sponsored by the SF SPCA and 7x7, is THE event in San Francisco this Saturday, May 18, 2013. Consider yourself invited. It runs from 12:00-3:00 pm, which is the perfect time to walk over with a coffee in one hand and a bag filled with fluffy, buttery croissants … [Read more...]

Tuesday San Francisco Agent Property Tour Photos

Yup. We're back and with a new set of San Francisco Agent Property Tour photos for you.  We're trying to make this a weekly post type of thing because we know how much fun it is to look at photos from the different homes and neighborhoods around San Francisco.  Okay. Confession time.  This is hardly work for us. We LOVE touring San Francisco homes because we enjoy seeing the fantastic design innovation, creativity and imagination put into homes in our fair city (and beyond!).  Add to that … [Read more...]

Upper Market Street Residential New Construction Condos

Upper Market Street Residential New Construction Condos

There is a lot of new residential construction rising on the streets of San Francisco and even more is in the planning stages.  The result will be an increase in the number of for-sale condominiums as well as rental units. About this,  we say "Horray!" because frankly,  this city needs both.   The bulk of the current activity is focused on Mission Bay, South Beach, SoMa and mid/lower Market. Heck, there is even a huge project right in the heart of the Mission on Mission Street between 21st … [Read more...]

Cool Holiday Events in San Francisco

The DVR has recorded Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and the DVD of the all-time best Christmas show ever, Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas (the original version), is sitting on the coffee table.  Nothing else is necessary in order to get into the Holiday spirit.  Ok, ok,  there are other things like shopping and wine tasting and menorah lighting and carol singing and tra-la-la-la-la-ing around hip San Francisco neighborhoods.  The fact that almost all of these cool Holiday events … [Read more...]

A trip down memory lane or Balmy Alley…

A trip down memory lane or Balmy Alley…

as the case may be. I was on my way to our listings at: 3102 25th Street, 3104 25th Street and 3106 25th Street in San Francisco last week and up out of nowhere jumped Balmy Alley (it's right next door).  It's not the first time I've been to this famous spot in the Mission.  Rewind 15 years and you'll find me, a wide-eyed tourist, taking a Precita Eyes Mural tour and standing in awe in front of the murals lining both sides of this block-long alley.  No longer there today, "Camino el … [Read more...]
