Art Deco Exhibit in San Francisco
When I found out that the Art
Deco exhibit from the Victoria & Albert museum was coming
to the Palace of the Legion of
Honor in San Francisco..We became museum members... in part
because member get a sneak preview.. and can visit the museum most
times without getting tickets.
On Fri 5 Mar Carol & I took the afternoon
off to see the show.What a treat! I'm a big fan of Art
Deco Architecture, but didn't know much about Art Deco art,
design, and fashion. Some of the pieces...particularly on the lower
level, were simply breathtaking.. As I write this, I'm listening
to The
Art Deco Music Collection on iTunes. The 3 CD set is only $24.95
and really sets the mood! After a pleasant lunch at the Beach
Chalet (with fascinating WPA murals in the lobby) we wer back
to work by late afternoon.

Oh.. and here's Andrea's Letter
Re: Representation
of 287 Kenyon Avenue, Kensington, CA 94708
I am writing to express my gratitude at the handling of the
relocation sale of our home. I am five months pregnant, moving
to another state, and dealing with a forest of paperwork relating
to my husbands relocation for work.
It is hard to believe, but I was required
to interview various agents and some would not even speak
to me because they knew doing a relocation would be extra
work – more paperwork, more signatures, more reviews,
more delays – everything you can think of needed to
be reviewed by three parties aside from buyer and seller.
To my surprise and delight, Carol and Ira insisted that this
extra work was not only ‘no problem’, that they
had done it many times before and were prepared for the intensity
of a very short time frame.
Within a course of less than three weeks, we had my home listed,
inspected, staged, shown and sold for above asking –
all with a smile on their faces. This was extremely important
to me as my spouse had already moved and I was doing this
alone while pregnant and struggling with the additional requirements
a relocation entails.
The following list summarizes just some of the specifics as
to why I would recommend using this great team:
Two head are better than one, and
their work personalities compliment each other.
They have vast experience with relocations
(the most difficult of transactions!).
They have a good balance of technology
and personal touch.
They always answered the phone or
called right back.
Oh, and Carol bought me muffins for
my trip to the airport knowing I did not have time to stop
and was a very typically hungry pregnant person!
Overall, the experience was not just
painless, it was pleasant and we would whole heartedly recommend
Carol and Ira to anyone seeking assistance in buying or selling.
