Local Brokerage Opening 2523 California Street Location

Zephyr Real Estate will be opening its doors at 2523 California Street at Steiner tomorrow (5/17/07).  If you go to 2525, you’ll find it too. They also have a space directly across the street. The digs are very nice! Modern, clean, new, high-tech, sporting Hermann Miller chairs, and basically pretty sweet! Go stop by and say hi. Watch for Zephyr to be breaking into that Pacific Heights listing inventory. They’ve had success in all of the offices they’ve opened around the city, so what’s stopping them from going into the “North End” and being successful?
In other Local Brokerage news, in case you missed it, B.J. Droubi was purchased by Coldwell Banker. Droubi agents have been asked which CB office they’d like to inhabit, but many will probably go to their Market St. location. As you can imagine the recruiting brokers of all the other Brokerages in town are anxious to get their hands on the star agents from Droubi. We wish them all luck and look forward to working with the agents regardless of which offices they choose.

More Fun With 4065 25th Street…and a Wager?

Our post about 4065 25th is getting such good “traffic”, I thought it might be fun to place a little wager. The sale is set to close on Monday (5/21/07), and if you’ve been following, you’ll know that not many people felt the price was justified.  But we know they received 3 pre-emptive offers and that usually indicates a pretty hot property, and that the price is….well….justified.

Now….who’d like to wager? I’m saying $2,895,900.  What about you?  Just give us your price by commenting, and have fun.  There may be something in it for the reader that says the correct price.

4065 25th Street: An Update

Normally, we don’t update all the properties we feature, because…well, honestly, we lose track. But when we post about a property (sweet before/after pics there) and several other blogs then post about it too, and the chatter is so negative about it not selling for this, not worth that, bad bathroom this, dark kitchen that… we have to update:

Three pre-emptive offers, and it has been on the market less than a week. Yeah, Noe Valley has cooled…and we would have to assume it will sell OVER $2,750,000.
