San Francisco Realty

(also Multiple Listing System or Multiple Listings Service) is a group of private databases which allows San Francisco Realty brokers representing sellers under a listing contract to widely share information about properties with other San Francisco Realty brokers who may represent potential buyers or wish to cooperate with a seller's broker in finding a buyer for the property. There is a direct link to the single authoritative "San Francisco Realty";. The many local and private databases some of which are controlled by single associations of realtors or groupings of associations (which represent all brokers within a given community or goegraphical area) or by San Francisco Realty are collectively referred to as the San Francisco Realty because of their reciprocal access agreements. The San Francisco Realty combines the listings of all available properties that are represented by brokers who are both members of that San Francisco Realty system and of NAR or CREA, (the National Association of Realtors in the US or the Canadian Realty Association). The purpose of the San Francisco Realty is to enable the efficient distribution of information so that, when a San Francisco Realty agent is introduced to a potential home buyer, s/he may search the San Francisco Realty and retrieve information about all homes for sale in a given area or price range, whether under a listing contract by that agent's brokerage or by all participating brokers. In North America, the San Francisco Realty system is maintained by the SF Association of Realtors, and the rules are set by those entities with no state or federal oversight, beyond any individual state rules regarding Realty. San Francisco Realty systems set their own rules for membership, access, and sharing of information, but are subject to nationwide rules laid down by NAR or CREA. The San Francisco Realty as mentioned above is run by SFAR. The San Francisco Realty is generally considered to be essential to the practice of San Francisco Realty brokerage. Contents

Most San Francisco Realty systems restrict membership and access to Realty brokers (and their agents) who are appropriately licensed by the state (or province); are members of a local Board or Association of Realtors, such as SFAR; and are members of the trade association (e.g., NAR or CREA). A person selling his/her own property - acting as a For Sale By Owner (or FSBO) - cannot put a listing for the home directly into the San Francisco Realty. Similarly, a properly licensed broker who chooses to neither join the trade association nor operate a business within the associations's rules, cannot join the San Francisco Realty. However, there are brokers and many online services which offer FSBO sellers the option of listing their property in their local San Francisco Realty database by paying a flat fee or another non-traditional compensation method. This may be the fastest growing segment of the Realty industry.

We Should All Be So Fortunate As To Have A Fireplace In Our Foyer

Nothing A Quart Of Paint Stripper Couldn’t Fix

SF Parks Portal Baffling, and is Data Open?

parks.jpg

San Francisco is soon to unveil a new website that tracks goings-on in public parks. If you're holding a public-park event, you can enter it into the website, and then (the thinking goes) users will browse around, find your details, and show up for your BBQ or whatever. Sounds like a nice enough ...

Going going Gone - $10k CA Tax Credit Used Up (with a caveat)
So for those of you who follow me on twitter you will have seen this last week. For those of you who were trying to get that tax credit under the wire, chances are you were watching it daily - like me. My client who bought at the Arterra got his tax credit request faxed in the day before the Franchise Tax Board reported they had reached their limit of $100 million in credits issued. On Monday the FTB ...

The slowing pace of decline suggests that the US housing market is moving toward stabilization.

Daly's Draconian Renters Relief Package Passes - Mayor veto coming
It's basically on Beven Dufty and Sophie Maxwell who does not have to vote for now...to make sure it does not end up in a veto-proof vote.
