By
Real Estate Agent with Compass CA DRE# 01215160

Nestled on the western slope of Nob Hill, 1561 Sacramento Street had been on the market for only 23 days yesterday when sellers accepted an offer that had arrived the evening before.

kitchen, 1651 Sacramento Street, Nob Hill, SF

1561 Sacramento at duskToday, Valentine's Day, I changed the listing status from "Active" to "Pending" and canceled the open houses planned for the weekend.

Today, Valentine's Day, the buyer wire-transferred his initial deposit to our escrow account.

Today, Valentine's Day, the bank appraiser contacted me to set the appraisal appointment.

Today, Valentine's Day, I was able to share the above good news with the seller.

Today is also Valentine's Day for the buyers, who had been looking for the right place for a number of months. In less than a month they will be settling into their new home, making it their own. Their search is over.

Love is in the air today, Valentine's Day, for sellers and buyers in San Francisco.

Today there are 14 Nob Hill condominiums listed for sale, ranging in size from 2 bedrooms to a 4-bedroom condo. These range in list price from $1,168,000 to 3 units over $4,000,000, with a median list price of $1,998,500.

Three additional opportunities are tenancy-in-common units, listed at $699,000, $1,650,000 and $4,975,000, while another 6 are stock co-ops.

If you are a buyer in search of a place of your own, find out what it takes so you too can celebrate Valentine's Day, no matter what day the calendar shows.

Hi Grant Schneider - my husband and I celebrated Thursday evening, after this transaction was signed and delivered. We walked down to Fisherman's Wharf and enjoyed a fabulous dinner at Scoma's together. It was a 3-in-one celebration since we also got all our tax documents to our accountant that day and it was Valentine Day Eve!

Good morning Brian England and Nina Hollander  - I'll always think of this one as a Valentine's Day treat. I'm off for a City hike today instead of an open house!

Nick Vandekar, 610-203-4543 - my sellers are happy! Best of all, there are no contingencies so the open houses have been cancelled. I'll enjoy a City hike this afternoon, and a good hike next weekend, probably in lovely Marin County.

Lottie Kendall - Congratulations on your good fortune! I love that it all happened on Valentine's Day and that all the pieces are coming together, as they should. This one should close successfully.

As always, I think the world of you! Buyers and Sellers should know how great you are and always consider you for serious sales.

Hello Roy Kelley - thank you. Today is a delightful day, with only a bit of computer work. Gene and I took a lovely hike through Golden Gate Park, up to the Cliff House and down the Great Highway along Ocean Beach. A streetcar took us back to Van Ness Ave, where I chose to walk home. A pot of lentil soup is now simmering on the stove, and this evening we're heading to the officer's club at the Presidio for a 1950-style sock hop! 

I hope you and Dolores are also having a great Saturday!

George Souto - thank you! We celebrated Valentine's Day with a walk to Fisherman's Wharf on Thursday and a lovely, relaxed dinner at Scoma's one of the nicest restaurants there. I hope your Valentine's Day was equally special.

Hi Patricia Feager, MBA, CRS, GRI,MRP - it was fun that this deal came together right before Valentine's Day, with details moving smoothly forward on that special day. I am so very happy for my sellers.

Lottie Kendall - I am very happy for you too! You orchestrated it well and your Sellers received the best offer because of all the hard work you did to list and market correctly and prepare them adequately.

Get-aways are important and good for the spirits. Glad you and your wife enjoyed Palm Springs. Gene and I have blocked off two days in early April - don't yet know where we'll go, but the time is ours!
