It’s International Daughters Day! Celebrating mine, as I do every day. Here’s then (11 years ago today) and now (a rare couple photos when I had both at home at the same time this summer, given the eldest essentially has to be bribed to leave NYC these days). I love you girls! 💕

Just Sold | 90 Entrada Court, Ingleside Terraces, San Francisco | Seller Representation

I loved this house and I loved the privilege of selling it! I worked with the seller on what was an incredible transformation. It was excavated to add a permitted family room, playroom, den, and full bath. Every inch of the house was newly renovated or restored, from added square footage to restoration of each hinge on the original doors plus an incredible landscaping job and saying goodbye to the old exterior paint color (it was Kermit the Frog green when I helped my client buy the house).

The original period details were just exceptional. A beautiful example of the wonderful Arts and Crafts homes built in San Francisco in the 1920’s. And on a beautiful block in the heart of Ingleside Terraces, a warm and welcoming neighborhood full of history.

Not surprisingly, plenty of buyers fell in love with this magical house just as I had. The property saw stiff competition and sold for $2,808,000, 34% over the list price of $2,095,000.

H1 2026 is in the books! What a spring season. San Francisco’s market moved FAST this year — prices climbing sale to sale, sometimes in a matter of days. Advising clients meant knowing every active and pending listing in real time, every single day. That’s how we helped our buyers and sellers win in a market that wouldn’t sit still.

The result: 15 successful closings in six months. A few standouts:

🏆 816 Scott St, Alamo Square — highest $/sqft ever recorded for a condo in the neighborhood, and virtually tied for the highest $/sqft ever. While our first half was pretty listing heavy, we represented both sellers and buyers across an array of great neighborhoods like Forest Hill, Ingleside Terraces, Glen Park, Bernal Heights, the Mission, Alamo Square, Miraloma Park, South Beach, Bayview, Lake Shore, and Oakland.

Now we’re deep into prepping our fall listings — and all signs point to this pace continuing through H2. Anthropic’s IPO is on the horizon (OpenAI expected to follow in 2027), and more return-to-office policies are pulling buyers back into the city. The market isn’t slowing down, and neither are we.

Endless gratitude to the agents, lenders, title & escrow teams, inspectors, 1031 qualified intermediaries, stagers, contractors, movers, and so many others who have a hand in every deal happen behind the scenes — and, most of all, to our clients, who trust us to guide them through.

Here’s to an exciting H2 2026!

Just Sold | 105 Cortland Avenue, Bernal Heights, San Francisco | Seller Representation ✨

A successful sale in one of my favorite neighborhoods, Bernal Heights. After detailed preparation, upgrades, and strategic marketing of this charming pre-1900 Victorian, the home sold for $1,720,000—33% over the $1,295,000 list price.

Featuring beautiful Victorian details, soaring ceilings, flexible living spaces, a versatile bonus in-law suite, and a sunny garden. New exterior paint was done in consultation with none other than “Dr. Color,” Bob Buckner - a veritable local celebrity for his work on thousands of San Francisco’s celebrated Victorians.

Situated on a quiet residential stretch of Cortland Avenue, the home is just blocks from beloved neighborhood destinations like Pinhole Coffee, Progressive Grounds, Avedano’s Holly Park Market, The Epicurean Trader, The Good Life Grocery, and the vibrant collection of local cafés, restaurants, and shops that make Bernal Heights so special.

Congratulations to my wonderful clients, and thank you for trusting the team with the sale of your home.

I was quoted yesterday in the Wall Street Journal about the effect the coming AI IPOs (led by Anthropic and OpenAI) are having on the San Francisco market. We saw the market respond to a stunning increase in activity throughout the spring season, with heavy competition among buyers rushing to get into a home before the initial public offerings. Multiple offers and seven-figure overbids were seen all over the city and are starting to drive prices up even in typically less competitive neighborhoods. Our heated market is certainly getting attention in the national press now. This article provides a good overview. On the ground, the nuances and rapid shifts and changes (often week to week) are something my team and I are discussing in great detail with each of our clients daily. Our great city is certainly in great demand! 🔥

Just Sold! 816 Scott Street, Alamo Square, San Francisco - Seller Representation

Whew, it’s been a busy first half of the year - time to catch up on reporting some 2026 sales! In April, I helped my seller clients close their fabulous three-bed, two-bath condo for 43% over the list price - the highest per-square-foot price ever in the neighborhood for any condo, single family home, or TIC (based on tax square footage), after only 13 days on the market.

Elegantly remodeled top floor condo in a pristine Stick-Eastlake Victorian steps from Alamo Square Park and San Francisco’s iconic Painted Ladies. Striking views of downtown and north to Marin from its remarkable roof deck.

Listed for $2,190,000
Sold for $3,135,000

Excited to be included on this roundtable panel this evening organized by the San Francisco Association of Realtors with three of my esteemed Realtor colleagues. We will be discussing the finer points of strategizing offer strategies for buyers - of particular note in what’s turning out to be an exceptionally competitive spring market here in the Bay Area. Mingling starts at 5 and the discussion begins at 5:45 at The Great Northern at 119 Utah Street. Tickets are still available. Should be a fun and informative event!
