A WORD FROM CLIMB It’s the most wonderful time of year. And with so much going on this month, we’re publishing only the very best for the season. Our cover property is a waterfront townhome, listed by Dirk Kinley. This rare 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom residence at 235 Berry overlooks the future of San Francisco’s Mission Bay. With water views from every floor, this home overlooking Mission Creek not only defines today’s urban living, but that of tomorrow. The holidays help remind us of what is truly important: love, family, and home. Love. Witnessing the union of Joshua Lawrence and Ariel Sutro in Golden Gate Park reminded me that love triumphs over all. Along with their families and friends, I was lucky enough to encounter what true love means. In the middle of their outdoor wedding, it started to pour. Any other bridezilla would have lost it. I almost did. But as I wiped away the rain on my tuxedo, I witnessed a commitment and bond. All on 11.11.11. Family. We at Climb have become not only a real estate team, but also a family. And while you can’t always choose your family, we at Climb choose to work together. I was reminded of this camaraderie at our recent photo shoot for our 2012 marketing campaign. We are also giving you a sneak peak at our 2012 marketing campaign. You be the judge. Finally, our group of agents provides you with some of their favorite holiday-season recommendations. From ice-skating to shopping at Union Square, we give you all the best ways to spend the holidays. For me, Christmas means spending time in Tahoe with the ones I love. Skiing, snow, and a season pass only make it that much more perfect. Wherever this holiday season takes you, I hope you make it home. Merry Christmas,
Chris Lim

INNER RICHMOND ADVENTURE : STOCKING STUFFERS
JOSHUA LAWRENCE Broker Associate
The stretch of Clement Street between 3rd and 8th is packed with things to see and do. Pop into the 6th Avenue Aquarium (425 Clement) and be amazed by this shop boasting 13,000 gallons of beautiful swimming fresh and salt water fishes for sale. Stop by SF Institution Green Apple Books (38 years in business and counting). Hear live music at Rockit Room (406 Clement), have a sweet treat and view the collectibles at Toy Boat Dessert Cafe (401 Clement)...You get the idea. Just get down there. NEIMAN MARCUS
Lunch at Neiman Marcus, then shop at all the wonderful stores around Union Square. ANA RUBKE Senior Sales Associate
