Visit this Lovely Cafe in San Francisco
Every once in a while, every realtor has to take a break and enjoy what life has to offer. That's what we did last weekend. We spent a few days visiting our son Varun in his apartment in San Francisco. His apartment alone has a beautiful full view of the Bay that has allowed us to enjoy what this place has to offer. Bravado Italian Coffee Bar and Lounge, SFO Of course, we wouldn't miss strolling around the place and it's where we found Bravado Italian Coffee Bar and Lounge, a dainty coffee shop right across Oracle Park. I ordered Mochaccino with a double espresso shot, full cream milk and milk chocolate! It was perfect. We were able to relax and unwind while basking in this beautiful place. With a lot of things going on in the housing market and in our country, I believe it's very important to take a breather every now and then away from the hustle and bustle of life. Visit and Contact Them If you ever get a chance to visit this area, don't miss out on spending some quality time and tasting high-quality coffee in this place! They also serve sumptuous food and alcoholic beverages, and you can dine safely in their outside dining area during these times.

Unexpected Benefits of Owning a Home (That are Nonfinancial)
There's no doubt about it, having your own home has a lot of perks! You can do renovations without restrictions from your landlord, you can invite anyone over without any curfew restrictions, and you'll have a great sense of permanence in your life. But there are still several benefits you wouldn't expect that come with owning your home! Benefit 1: You'll discover yourself more (as you transform your house as truly your own)! Since the home is definitely yours, you'll be able to transform it any way you want. You can experiment with the style, and the color palette and make any change to your home to your heart's content. Eventually, you'll be able to discover whether you are a minimalist, maximalist, or maybe somewhere in between! You'll know the style and colors that make you truly happy hence find out who you really are. Benefit 2: Gives you a great sense of fulfillment as a person! Owning a house is a big responsibility and something that almost everyone dreams of doing. When you get to this stage, you know you've made it. It will give you that extra boost of confidence that what you're currently pursuing is right for you and will affect everything in your life. Your perspective will change in many ways. If you are paying the house with your partner, your relationship with them will also improve as you navigate the highs and lows of owning a home. Weird as it may sound, it will make you an over-all better and inevitably, a more mature person! Benefit 3: Allows greater community engagement that actually leads to longer life! This is going to be the most surprising of all. Who knows that owning a home lengthens your life and not in the way you thought it would be? Yes, having your own home gives a strong sense of security but it's not the reason why it can add years to your life. Having a permanent home allows you to become more engaged in your community and build lifetime relationships in your neighborhood. The 80-year long study of Harvard found that people with strong and meaningful relationships live longer and happier. If you've been distancing yourself from your community because of the uncertainty of your stay, it might be the perfect time to decide on the place you want to call home so you can start building meaningful relationships in the community. You'll live longer and happier! Who doesn't want that? Getting excited to be a home owner? We're excited as you are. If you need a realtor whom you can trust wholeheartedly, we're here for you!
