A WORD FROM CLIMB
June is a great month to be living in San Francisco. My personal favorite past times in the city are the almost weekly street fairs in June. The diversity of the city couldn’t be better represented as well as the uniqueness of the neighborhoods. From Union Street to North Beach, Haight Street to Gay Pride, there is a lot to smile about. Be sure to get out and enjoy all our beautiful city has to offer. Our cover home is a dynamic two-story town home at Union SF. One of last year’s fastest selling new development projects, 2125 Bryant is located in the heart of the Inner Mission. We’ve also expanded the coverage of Vantage this month with new sections including Friends of Climb, What’s New in SF?, and Neighborhood Spotlight. Friends of Climb, who we affectionately call our FOC, are satisfied clients who have recently purchased homes from one of our agents. We debut this section with Kong Son who worked with Gertrude Villanueva to purchase “The Purple Victorian” on the Valencia Corridor. What’s New in SF? gives you an insight into some of the colorful events that make our city great. This is not any ordinary event calendar as we seek out the best and most unusual. Finally, our Neighborhood Spotlight has our agents give out their recommendations on what to do and where to go. This month we feature some of the hidden gems of Mission Bay.
See you out and about in the city.

“I’m so happy with the purchase of my beautiful Victorian home. Gertrude was instrumental in getting this property for me before it hit the market and negotiating a great price! I would recommend her and Climb Real Estate to any buyer or seller.” Kong Son found his 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath Valencia Street Victorian through Climb’s Gerturde Villanueva.

MISSION BAY
“Mission Bay tennis courts are a great place to play a set and Real Estate investments are a great bet!” LUDOVICO MAZZOLA Senior Sales Associate
BILL WILLIAMS Senior Sales Associate
“The Mission Bay Library is very clean and modern, next door to Philz coffee. They have internet access, DVD rentals and a great selection of books. It’s not a bad place to hang out and read on rainy days when you have the time.” “The Berry Street dog park in Mission Bay is a great place to meet people and is always happening after work and on the weekends.”
