Event Announcement and a Reality Check | Jennifer Rosdail

Save the Date

Do you ever get in discussions about what to call homes you see? Is it a Queen Anne, an Italianate, a Stick or an Eastlake variant? Is it an Edwardian or is it a Craftsman? Is it a Spanish Revival, Eclectic or Colonial? Sometimes, as we all love our homes and the City, these debates can even get rather heated…

Well, I recently met someone who knows all the differences and, not only that, is good at explaining them in memorable ways. This brilliant person is San Francisco Architect James Dixon.

Your next question is probably, where can I see James and learn all about it. The answer is at the Poleng Lounge on Wednesday, April 2 @ 6:30 p.m. James and I are co-sponsoring an event entitled “San Francisco Residential Architectural Styles.” There will be a slideshow and Q&A. Be sure to bring a picture of your house for expert analysis . . . and your friends who need to meet a great Realtor!

How’m I Doin’?

In these days of constant negative news stories about the economy and the real estate market, I found the map below reassuring. The original source is Zillow, but I got it from the SF Chronicle. If you want to know more about what your house is worth and how it has been performing as an investment in these reportedly uncertain times, please ask me and I will work up the numbers for you lickety split.
