Happy 16th Anniversary to my babe @smithing_weston #fuckwereold

Gorgeous day for a home inspection and it went well! This is one of very few buildings in PB that has a view like this because it was built before the 30 foot height limit. AND, this 7th floor unit is one of few in the complex with direct westfacing views from the living room and bedroom. ... Congrats to my first time buyer client from Northern California who beat out two other offers to get this baby into escrow! I can't wait to introduce you to our little community!

Say hello to the new home of the San Diego Community Birth Center! I had the privilege of teaming up with a wonderful and visionary client, Nikki Helms, a midwife, doula, educator and all around badass human being, to find a space for her new business to bloom. Nikki is on a mission to bring midwifery and holistic health services to minority, low-income, and otherwise marginalized families. This space will become a birth center and community space providing family-building... support and education for fathers and LGBTQIA+ families, fertility support groups, childbirth and newborn care education, consent-based body-positive sex education, acupuncture, massage therapy, and much more. It's about to undergo a little makeover with some construction updates and a moroccan color palette, and it's going to have the most magnetic energy! It's 2 blocks from Balboa park in Banker's Hill and used to be a 1950s doctor's office. I can't imagine a more perfect place to give birth. If you'd like to support Nikki's mission, you can donate to her gofundme here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/fcfec4-building-a-dream? Thank you Nikki and congrats!!!

This coming weekend would have been the annual Pacific Beachfest, our community festival where we celebrate Pacific Beach businesses, artists, restaurants, schools, music & more. This pic is from my Beachfest booth last year and I'm super sad it's cancelled this year! BUT I have enormous gratitude for everyone who comes out to support us and make it happen every year, and this just means that next year we'll be back better than ever! Keep supporting your local businesses ...because we need it now more than ever! And if you know anyone who is thinking of buying or selling a home or investment property in Pacific Beach, I'd love to be your local expert. I love this town and know the market upside down and inside out! Keep it local! Thank you @discoverpb for putting on all our community events and being the glue that keeps our small business community together! See more

Week-over-week pending home sales have leveled out, suggesting we're through the pent-up demand from the shutdown. However, compared to last year, pending sales are up 15% even though inventory is way down. What does this mean? For buyers, we're hopefully heading into a little bit less market, but it will still be competitive and you'll still want to put your best foot forward.... For sellers, same deal. If you want to get a premium price for your home, don't just rely on the market. Prep your home for sale. Hire the best agent to market and negotiate the sale of your home. We're seeing a record ~25% of homes falling out of escrow right now. This is not normal!! It's more important than ever to have the right agent advocating for you and helping you sidestep the current market challenges when buying or selling a home or investment property. Call for a free strategy session and make a plan to achieve your goals faster and with less stress. It's not too late to make something really good happen in 2020.

Attention Landlords: Click here to oppose AB 1436 and fight to protect real estate as an investment and retirement planning tool! https://buff.ly/37MVX2w San Francisco Assembly Member David Chiu just unveiled AB 1436, a proposal to force landlords to defer rents for 15 months after a state or local state of emergency is lifted - which can translate to years of unpaid rent - if a tenant is unable - or unwilling - to pay rent due to COVID-19. We know that in many cases, local g...overnments don't lift their emergency orders for years. That means an owner may never receive the rent they deferred during the pandemic. In addition to not receiving rent, landlords would not receive funding under AB 1436 to pay their taxes, mortgages, utilities, or staff. AB 1436 is government overreach and does nothing to help our current crises ---it only makes our housing crisis worse and will put hundreds of rental owners into default leading to mass foreclosures on rental housing. Don't let the state destroy the value of real estate as an investment and retirement planning tool. Not all landlords are evil corporations.
