    A San Francisco couple is glad they decided not to sell and retire elsewhere. The East Bay awaits.

    BySusie Wyshak April 14, 2026April 14, 2026

    With relish, I devoured the Wall Street Journal “Retirement Rookies” article by Stephen Kreider Yoder and Karen Kreider Yoder. The title was “We Considered Leaving the City in Retirement. We’re So Glad We Didn’t.” Mind you, this isn’t the “city” as in New York; some people insist that’s the only city that deserves that moniker….

    Is the reward worth the risk of collaborating with a flipper / developer to update an older home in an affluent neighborhood before selling? The idea of transforming a million dollar home into a $3 million property — rather than selling it to someone else who will do just that — is worth exploring. Partnering…

The correct calculation of…

These single-family homes at 345 51st Street are reaching the point where you will be able to pick out finishes you will love. Each one has a slightly different design, which will make it fun to hop on the one that you will love the most.

The VERY last step when a house listing sells in the East Bay is to remove the Supra lockbox 🥳
Convincing aspiring home buyers NOT to buy a house or to understand what it will take to fix up a house is JOB #1 as a buyer's agent. Showing houses after a torrential rain is a joy.

How is the property draining?
Is any water getting into the foundation or the house?
Where is the water coming from - the roof or the earth or both?

What isn't job #1? Getting you to buy any old house.
