San Francisco’s Ocean Beach, originally uploaded by LubaSF.

The beach as seen from the Outer Richmond district.

Have to say, I’m having one of those days where I fall in love with SF’s nook and cranny all over again.

I just drove down Balboa Street and was reminded of all my old haunts from when I grew up… the Balboa Theater, Chino’s Taqueria and even St. Thomas Apostle school where I spent my pre-teen years learning to diagram sentences.

Sometimes I’m so busy that I forget how much I don’t just love San Francisco, but am actually in love with it. Glad to be reminded of that love affair today.

San Francisco’s Baker Beach, originally uploaded by LubaSF.

With the Golden Gate Bridge in the distance, even on a foggy day, the view looking over Baker Beach is incredible.

I haven’t decided whether I’m against it, but Billy the horse had the ladies hooked today.

Getting Smarter for Sellers, originally uploaded by LubaSF.

If you know me, you know I’m not a morning person. Yet, I’m still here at 7:45am (I’m early) at the San Diego Association of Realtors to improve my Realtor skill set. I’m here to take a class for my Certified Residential Specialist certification, and today – I’m here to learn more about listing strategies – which basically means that I’m here to help San Francisco homeowners sell their homes faster and for more money. At least that’s the idea. Sellers will still have to be realistic, but having a fabulous real estate agent (like me) :-) working with them will improve their odds of a smooth and trouble free sale.

Anyhow – I’m off to get my lurnin’ on! :-)

I (heart) Virgin Airlines

May 20th, 2009



I (heart) Virgin Airlines, originally uploaded by LubaSF.

I still hate flying – but Virgin Airlines makes it SOOO much less painful. Even with lots of empty seats today, my flight didn’t get cancelled, and most people in the "middle" seat will get to get a more comfy seat. Even the flight attendants all seem to be in genuinely good spirits. And even though I’m just flying to San Diego, I actually have SOME legroom.

I vow to never fly another airline by choice again. If Virgin America flies there, I’ll be on THAT plane!

The only thing they could do to make my day better is to give me back the few extra hours of sleep I’m missing because this flight is so damn early. ;-)

I’m in the process of getting this gorgeous single family home ready for the market, but thought I’d give you all a sneak peak! :-)

Here’s the scoop!

25 Hartford is a fully renovated 3 Bedroom, 2.5 Bath home. The main level features hardwood floors, a large and bright living room, remodeled half bath, and a huge formal dining room with french doors that open out onto a deck you’ll use year round. Through those french doors, you can escape to your own piece of paradise as you overlook your very own unusually large landscaped garden with large mature trees. And don’t overlook the fabulous gourmet kitchen w/breakfast bar and sunroom and direct access to the deck (BBQ’ing can’t get any easier!)

Upstairs are 3 HUGE bedrooms, with 2 large baths (including one where you can soak your worries away in the large tub!) Added bonuses are the newer concrete foundation, newer systems, built in sound system, skylites, wine storage, and a garage large enough to fit 2 cars side by side or 3 cars total (AND there’s room for a 4th car in the driveway!)

And it’s located on a HUGE lot that’s 125 feet deep. Not to mention, it’s around the corner from the upcoming pedestrian plaza on 17th Street . Your own retreat in the heart of an urban lifestyle! List price is to be determined, but most likely $1,499,000.

Call me if you’re interested and I can tell you more!!!

Military Industrial Complex?, originally uploaded by LubaSF.

OK… No idea on “what” this is or “why” this giant red truck has a missile on it, but apparently, it’s part of a memorial service for the artist Tom Kennedy that recently drowned at San Francisco’s Ocean Beach.

How to Recycle Your Old Toilet, originally uploaded by LubaSF.

Seen out in the Inner Richmond at 4th Ave and Clement… Guess they upgraded to new low flow toilets!!! At least it didn’t end up in landfill! :-)
