"I love the SF Newsletter! It is as entertaining as it is informative (check out the Tour de SF). My favorite feature is the "New On Market Report". It is so easy for me to go in and sort the new listings by my criteria. This is much easier and more user-friendly process than having to log on to the Clean Offer database and trying to navigate through all of their listings by neighborhood."

"I love that SFNewsletter is written by people who live in SF. (or so I assume) You really have nailed the SF pockets and market in a vastly diverse area. I love the humor and occasional irreverence. Thanks and keep up the good work."

"If any of the stock options ever payoff and we can buy a home here, you'll be the one we call! Have enjoyed the newsletter for years. I lived in Reno too from '84-2000, when I moved here to get married. Keep up the good work and thank you!"

"I like that the report is short, and covers market trends and where to eat in different neighborhoods around town. thanks"

"Be great to see spots on things like - landlord/tenant issues; - Tax issues eg. 1031 exchange, principal residence; Love the new data charts, great having the sold data to hand, be nice to have that data valid for the past year or so?"

"I really appreciate the on-target, level-headed approach you take to the market. Many thanks!"

"Newsletter very well put together. Always enjoyable to read. Doesn't take hours to read yet always full of good content."

"If i were in the market currently i would use all your info"

"Love your newsletter and have recommended it to several people..."

"I really appreciate the fact that you hound the media for their constant negative coverage."

"best real estate snapshot out there for those of us who love real estate, semi-invest and semi-participated in the market as loan officers. i have recommended it to others, showed it to my colleagues who still do real estate to see what a newsletter should look like ( sorry:) and really enjoy it. THANKS!!!"

"Your info makes my Friday! Thanks and keep up the good work!"

"I love news about the market, trends, etc."

"Out of towner, but I like the tone (light, fun, funny). Not likely to buy in SF."

"Good newsletter. keep it up."

"This is by far the best barometer for SF real estate that I've found and overall a very witty and fun read. I look forward to receiving this newsletter every week. Keep up the good work!"

"I initially subscribed in connex with my job which involved publishing related to real estate around the US. my responsibilities have changed so i no longer need it -- but it's fun, and i love SF, so who knows? maybe someday i'll move there..."

"Give me more real estate!!!"

"I love the casual humor of the letter while delivering the RE information we want delivered."

"I live in Berkeley, but I find your newsletter the best source of what's really happening with the real estate market. You present a picture of the market that is based on real data without the alarmist tone that the media takes. I wish we had a similar newsletter for the east bay."

"i live out of the area but am hoping to move back. I read the news letter in attempts to keep a guage on the market. I really like the charts, data, trends."

"I always enjoy your newsletter! Thank you"

"I love getting your newsletter every friday. Thanks and keep up the good work!"

"Love the information on restaurants."

"You write a great newsletter and offer good insights and opinions. The actual sales are extremely valuable to track the trends Keep up the good work."

"Love the newsletter - a fresh approach in a boring-ass-real-estate-editorial-world. actually feels close to the pulse of the market, vs crap-ass, uninformed generalizations. So thanks for the great work. Have one house in sf and one in oakland, but not wealthy as that may imply. working stiff like the rest, though happily so."

"Love Max Overbid stories! ditto comparison shopping. i love all your content. I am really enjoying the tour de SF, keeps me wondering where you'll go next. incidentally, i live in LA, but grew up in the Bay Area, and I always wonder if I'll be back. Got to craft a way somehow... thanks!"

"I'm priced out of the market but I like to read and keep up with everything in real estate. (I work in a related field.) I wouldn't buy a condo and can't really afford anything else, so someday I may retire and go live elsewhere, but I'll miss the City."

"THANKS for all the info you DO provide"

"It's the highpoint of every Friday!"

"I live in pacific heights, plan to sell my condo in the next 2 years."

"Since I am in no way serious about buying but nontheless like to stay somewhat involved in the marketplace, this little bitty column becomes my info source. As I get more in the need to know arena, I shall branch out from this bird's eye view of the real estate state of affairs in the City."

"I absolutely adore the newsletter & look forward to receiving it every Friday!!!"

"This is the highest educational AND FREE tool for SF real estate. Nobody should even consider selling or buying without reading end to end 4 weeks in a row - including printing and scribbling on the "new" and "sold" reports. thanks for feeding weekly my addiction ;-)"

"A useful commentary to pit against real estate crash blogs."

"Thank you. Move to the Peninsula, let's hear about other markets."

"Since I moved to the East Bay, I would love to have one for that area, specifically Alameda."

"Great newsletter. have recommended it to many friends."

"I love the tour de SF. I've learned a lot about SF market niches."

"Great job. Always enjoy spending 10 minutes with you on Fridays. I can't believe the amount of work you put into this! But it shows. It's not shallow like so many other realtor communications."

"You are most original and creative in your approach - fun to read!"

"Good, comprehensive newsletter. nice format and ease of readability a big plus. helps me to target areas i may have overlooked."

"I think it is a great resource."

"Always feel like I want a tad bit more commentary. Lot's can happen in a week in SF real estate."

"This is the second time through. I wanted to add that the report that you attached last week was wonderful. More attachements such as that one would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!"

"I enjoy reading the Newsletter. I especially appreciate your humor and light hearted approach to the market !"

"We just bought a place and I found this newsletter far more helpful explaining market trends than many other publications that include data outside of SF. This market is entirely different than the rest of the world and its not quite represented elsewhere."

"A quick read that provides a nice insight into what's going on in the market from the "inside"."

"Love the newsletter. It's so rare to see a realtor who's cool and has a brain."

"I'm very excited to see a Tour de SF piece on my own neighborhood (West Portal) but otherwise not very interested in this section."

"I enjoy your spirit."

"Love that it's not just facts and figures, but that all the info is put into a context that is easy to understand and enjoyable to read."

"Great newsletter."

"Really like and appreciate the newsletter"

"I use the information from the newsletter just about everyday at work. The market data, specific to San Francisco, is much more accurate than those found in mainstream media. I've passed on the newsletter to many other people within my organization in hopes that sharing the information will help my approval process, and it has!"

"Thanks! Most helpful."

"The stalefish and maximum overbid are my favorite features, along with your snarky commentary about the mood of the market. I have forwarded/recommended your newsletter to many friends and co-workers. Keep up the good work in counterbalancing the "gloom and doom" headlines in the Chronicle and national press. You are providing a valuable public service when you point out that SF in general (and each individual sub-pocket) is a different market from the rest of the state or country."

"I think your newsletter comes at the topic of SF Real Estate in a way different from everything else I've seen. Though it's flippant at times and sometimes more entertainment than substance (wine advice?!), I look forward to receiving it each Friday. The pocket listings and your insights balance out a lot of what I see and read elsewhere and provide perspective. Kind of like I see it flat from the front, you see it from the back and/or inside and put together I better know what it actually looks like."

"I am a current homeowner and enjoy your newsletter and keeping abreast of what is happening real estate wise in my neighborhood (duboce triangle) and surrounding areas."

"For a couple of years now, I received everyweek in my email box the weekly update with the list of all new properties on the market, as well as the list of all the sold houses. There is nothing better to educate a newbie about the crazy SF market in my opinion. Plus it's entertaining and non invasive." -Sophie, San Francisco Home Owner

"I am a big fan of the newsletter. I have always felt that the data in the News Letter is quite useful and enlightening, as opposed to the fluff (staging tips, etc.) in most of the other newsletters.
