I can't believe what I'm writing. Months ago I tried to tell all of you and some clients about some pocket listings (off market deals) at the St. Regis.



After playing phone tag a few times and finally getting a commitment from some clients to fly out and see unit 33D a 2 bed, 2.5 bath ~1800 sqft condo at the wonderful St. Regis, asking $3,695,000, I find out today it is in contract! (I find out after practically pleading for them not to ratify and give my clients a look.)

Are you f**king kidding me! Pardon my French. Why am I so upset? Because, in every other world class market in the world, when you have some clients that are ready to plunk down close to $4,000,000 it's not much of a problem to find them a suitable home (forget personal tastes, we're talking availability). When you live in San Francisco, it's not so easy.

I'm upset, and of course had you been watching my new morphine habit (Twitter) you'd already know this. Silver lining...I know of more pocket listings at the St. Regis, so I'll live to fight another day.
