Find Your Place In San Francisco

biancakofmanrealtor There’s something about a San Francisco home with a yellow tile bathroom, colorful tub or a kitchen that looks like it hasn’t changed in decades. Do you preserve the original character or bring it into the modern day? Because in San Francisco, “dated” can sometimes be another word for “full of personality.” So, this or that: original charm or modern upgrades? Which one are you choosing? #SanFranciscoRealEstate #SanFranciscoHomes #SFHomes #SanFranciscoDesign #BayAreaRealEstate

biancakofmanrealtor One of the first things I look at when I’m walking through a San Francisco home? Not the countertops. Not the paint color. Not even the layout. **What was actually permitted?** That extra bedroom, finished lower level, laundry room, bonus space, or outdoor structure may look great, but the real question is whether it was legally built and what it’s permitted to be used as. And this is not a deal breaker either way, but it’s vital to understand so that you get the full picture! In San Francisco, there can be a lot more to a home than what you see during a showing. And this is exactly why I tell buyers: don’t just fall in love with the house. Understand the house. Permits, plans, disclosures and property history can all tell you a very different story. It’s not the most glamorous part of buying a home, but it can be one of the most important. #SanFranciscoRealEstate #SanFranciscoHomes #BayAreaRealEstate #HomeBuying #SFRealEstate

biancakofmanrealtor Why pick between city life and being close to nature when San Francisco gives you both? One of the things I love about living here is how quickly you can move between completely different versions of the city. Coffee and a walk through Golden Gate Park in the morning. Dinner and drinks in the Mission that night. A weekend hike in Marin. An afternoon at the beach. A spontaneous plan to go check out something happening across town. And depending on the neighborhood you choose, you can have a quieter, residential home base without feeling removed from everything that makes city life fun. That’s one of the things people don’t always realize when they’re considering a move to San Francisco. You don’t necessarily have to choose between the lifestyle you want and the things you want access to. Sometimes the trick is finding the right neighborhood.
