Let’s face it—San Francisco’s luxury real estate market is unlike any other. Here, luxury isn’t just about marble countertops or heated floors (though we love those too).

Flashback Friday: Islais Creek – The Sh*t Creek of San Francisco’s Butchertown
Happy Friday, friends! I’m so excited to bring back Flashback Friday, a series where I share some of my favorite weird, wonderful, and occasionally smelly stories from San Francisco’s past. As a total history nerd and a lover of The City, this has always been one of my favorite ways to connect with you—and what better day to revive it than on a rainy Friday?
