Yesterday was a tragic day for our friends out west, in particular those neighbors in San Bruno, California.A ruptured gas and a massive explosion roared through the residential neighborhood yesterday evening, destroying hundreds of homes and killing six people.Our hearts go out to those who have lost loved ones and their homes from this tragic event.Boulder Colorado also lost many homes in rampant wild fires now threatening the city.In a week commerating the ninth anniversary of the terrorist attacks, we hope that these tragedies do not go unnoticed and we hope you put a thought and prayer out to those who lost not just their homes, but in a sense, their lives. 09/10/2010

When I'm working with buyers or sellers, I run market trend reports for both the city/community and the specific neighborhood (if there is enough data) in addition to checking comps.  It's important to keep in mind that there are many micro-markets in San Francisco and on the San Mateo Peninsula. In response to a buyer inquiry as to market trends in the San Bruno condo market, prices are still down so there is good affordability, the number of expireds are down (indicates more realistic pricing), the number of properties under contract is up (indicates buyer demand), & inventory is down.  Short sales & REO's are definitely still part of this market. Click on each chart to enlarge or download full trends report here. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have about San Bruno or any o... 05/18/2010

You always wonder who is listening to what you have to say and are you being effective with your presentation... I received a call yesterday on a client I've been working with to get all of their Streamlined "k" inspections and they blew me away yesterday with the revelation that I was effective. We now are doing the 203k inspections for our 3rd and now our largest client... thank you, thank you, thank you.  Why would you use a 203k consultant for your Streamlined "k" needs? It is simple as Prime Mortgage and Guaranteed Rate Mortgage will tell you. If you ONLY do the Streamlined "k" then you need to know up front as fast as possible that it has no issues that would trip it into a Full 203k, or Standard 203k as they called it all day yesterday. I hear stories all the time that a deal die... 05/08/2010

Ok, so I love to help people buy and sell houses but still I need to eat! I LOVE to eat and I love to cook! I love to dine out and I love family and friend gatherings at home over a large home cooked meal. Since I live and work in San Bruno, I like to dine locally. Sometimes I go to San Francisco, my hometown, but most of the time, when we have the opportunity to dine out, we go local! A few of my favorite places are Don Pico's for Mexican fine dining, La Paloma Taqueria, Hon Lin for Chinese, Sushi House, Famous Johnny's for pizza and beer, Amma's Kitchen for Indian, and the West Coast Cafe for Italian. All of these places are walking distance from my house. Living in San Bruno is really super convenient. From my house, I can walk to the Mexican market, the dry cleaners, the library, a... 02/19/2010

   Oh boy! I am so excited! San Bruno Park puts on concerts every Friday in August starting at 6:00 pm For the last two summers I made homemade gourmet popcorn and put them in sandwhich bags for my kids to sell for .50 cents each.

Anyways, this year's 2009 schedule looks like this: Aug 7th- Livewire (Dance Party Band) Aug 14- Unauthorized Rolling Stones (Tribute Band) Aug 21- Cocktail Monkeys (Classic Rock, Pop, Variety) Aug 28 Dave Crimmen (50's Rock n Roll) Be sure to come and if you see me or my kids selling popcorn, tell us you read our blog!

  If you haven't heard, the San Bruno Farmer's Market started on Sunday, June 21st and is continuing every Sunday through October from 10-2pm!   Downtown Sundays will have live music, fresh fruit and vegetables, flowers, specialty breads and international food. If you haven't checked it out, I highly recommend swinging by! I was there on the first day and enjoyed picking out a variety of strawberries, blackberries and blueberries.

There was also a kettle corn booth, a booth for coloring and laminating commemorative pins, and a featured business. This event is put on by the San Bruno Chamber of Commerce so a featured business is an appropriate and great way for a business to promote themselves... 07/07/2009
