    Downtown San Diego Condos: Funky Garcias is Truly Funky!

    It is so fantastic living and working in Downtown San Diego.  Our Willis Allen office located next to Dick's Last Resort on 5th Avenue is at the center of the downtown hub of activity.  Victoria and I were feeling a little ravenous this afternoon so we decided to take a walk.  We ended up at Funky Garcias and from the exterior, the name definitely fits.  From the exterior it looks like one of those places where you have to think about going in for a meal.  However, Victoria assured me it serves fantastic Mexican food and she was right.  We ordered carne asada and chicken tacos and stuffed, stuffed, stuffed ourselves.

     

    If you visit the Funky Garcias website you can see there are specials everyday.  The food is excellent, but what makes Funky's even better are its time-warped videos featuring Meat Loaf, Boy George and The Village People.  It was a real step back in time.

    Everyone was cheerful.  Our waitress was efficient and attuned to our every ice tea refill need.  All in all it was a fantastic afternoon snack at a more than reasonable price.  If you are in Downtown San Diego, take a walk over to 421 Market and step inside Funky Garcias.  I loved it!

    Downtown San Diego Condos: Willis Allen Marketing Tidbits

    When you are selling your home or condo, you generally want every base covered as far as exposure of the property goes.  One of the best things Willis Allen Real Estate does is make sure we have every tool to market your property.  One of the most exciting tools to me, because I am so visual, is the plasma screen each office has in the front to showcase your listing.  This particular screen is located in our Coronado office and rotates through all of our listings.

    This may seem like a small thing to you as the consumer, but if an office is located in an area where there are walk-ins, this is an important item.  The Coronado office has walk-ins on a daily basis, and the downtown San Diego office has walk-ins on an hourly basis. (I will admit the man in the bright pink pants was probably not a potential buyer)  However, if you are a downtown San Diego condo seller, wouldn't you like to have your property exposed to as many potential buyers as possible, and in as many ways as possible.?  Walk-in and walk-by traffic is important because you never know who might be interested in your property if you are the seller.

    Next time you walk by a real estate office, whether Coronado or Downtown San Diego, take a peek inside the front door.  Is there marketing right in front of you?  If there is, this may be the brokerage to check out for sales.

    Downtown San Diego Condos: Nexus Mid-Rise Unit

    If you like East Village, this Willis Allen listing in Nexus might be of interest to you. Some buyers prefer mid-rise buildings versus massive towers.  This one-bedroom unit is on the 7th floor and what makes this such a nice unit is there is no unit above.  There is something great about not having people tromping around above you in your unit.  For those who like smaller buildings, this 72-unit Nexus is perfect.  Priced at $339,000 makes this an affordable possibility.  If you would like the full listing printout for this Nexus unit, just email or give us a call.   

    Nexus is located at 875 G St. in the East Village area of Downtown San DiegoThis is a series of articles by Sharyn and Victoria Crown, Downtown San Diego realtors.

    Downtown San Diego Condos: Willis Allen

    Over the course of one's career, whether real estate or not, changes occur.  We are in the midst of an exciting new change.  Victoria and I are moving to Willis Allen Real Estate.  Willis Allen has been in San Diego since 1914 and is a privately owned company.  In this day and age of chaos and upheaval, it is great to be part of a stable long-lasting company.

     

     

    The Willis Allen motto:  "Willis Allen. Real Estate. Real Integrity since 1914." is something we believe in and as you can see from our Coronado office photo, we are working with some great folks.  Life is change.  We are changing.
