san francisco luxury real estate: Buying property in 2009 - 02/28/09 08:39 PM
I have represented alot of buyers in the last 18 months and I would like to take this time to share some of these simple but necessary experiences.
1. Buyers stay in constant communication with your preferred lender. As the market and economy transition it will be important to stay on top of very key elements like: interest rates, down payment requirements, terms and appraisal requirements. All can torpedo a deal in the most inopportune time, trust me.
2. Buyers please stay on top of the market trends as presented by your real estate agent. various districts in San Francisco are … (0 comments)

san francisco luxury real estate: San Francisco Luxury Market Update - 01/11/08 02:56 PM
Today is Friday, January 11,2008 and I thought it would be interesting to see what kind of closing activity exists in the San Francisco Luxury Market.
Most define "luxury" here by price. So for the purposes of this report I am using closed escrow's over $2,500,000. For my friends in Virgina I know...that is steep but here you have to start somewhere.
I just ran a search in the local MLS that gave me a list of 16 properties that have closed since 12/1/2007. The price ranges from a low of $2,500,000 up to $16,000,000. And I must say some broker's have transactions … (0 comments)
