ASK KELLY QUESTIONS!
Q: How should I prepare my house for sale in the Bay Area market? - J.C.

A: It’s a multi-step, organized process that begins with a great Real Estate coach. The first step is to depersonalize and declutter your home. A pre-inspection is always a good idea. Staging is a must!
HOTTEST RESTAURANTS
NOTEWORTHY RESTAURANTS IN THE BAY AREA
Chao Pescao

Chao Pescao is a casual and very personal restaurant from long-time San Francisco restaurateur Rene Denis. The name translates roughly to “see you later alligator,” a friendly salutation common in Latin American countries, which captures the friendly and fun spirit of our restaurant. Their menu was designed to offer comforting Latin American food with vibrant flavors and rich cultural heritage.
Barrio

Barrio has two distinct locations; Ghirardelli Square and North Beach. Barrio North Beach "the pub" is a neighborhood beer bar and Latin Kitchen in the North Beach district of San Francisco. While Barrio Ghirardelli Square is an agave bar and Latin kitchen, overlooking San Francisco’s beautiful Aquatic Park.
SF HISTORY
A BITE-SIZE HISTORY OF SAN FRANCISCO
In 1896, Adolph Sutro built the Cliff House, a seven-story Victorian Chateau, called by some "the Gingerbread Palace."

This October, San Francisco’s iconic Cliff House is reopening to the public. The National Park Service issued a temporary permit that will allow nonprofits to install a pop-up museum inside the famed Cliff House. The permit lasts until April 2022.
