Stories Behind the Homes of San Francisco


Listen Later

This week we talk with Sabrina Gee-Shin, Realtor extraordinaire, San Francisco native, and an “ABC” (American Born Chinese) who doesn’t speak Chinese. We talked about gyoza, real estate, racism, and everything in between.


Highlights:

  • Is there any truth to Cynthia’s theory that there’s an inverse relationship between the amount of food on brokers tour in any given week and the strength of the current market.

  • Sabrina says “Love is handmade,” eschewing prepared platters of food and preferring homemade fare for catering.

  • Sabrina’s mother-in-law’s favorite Korean restaurant: Han Il Kwan, ​​https://www.yelp.com/biz/han-il-kwan-san-francisco

  • All about the value of creating community through sharing food.

  • Cameron House in Chinatown is a worthy cause: https://cameronhouse.org/

  • In case you don’t know what gyoza is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiaozi#Gy%C5%8Dza

  • Partners in a home search sometimes arrive in a state where they are no longer hearing each other.

  • Real estate has a long history of discrimination and San Francisco is no exception. 

  • The 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake and freeway closure had a major negative impact on Chinatown’s economic health. The city’s new subway through Union Square is, in some sense, a reparation for that.

  • A book worth checking out: Living Sensationally: https://www.amazon.com/Living-Sensationally-Winnie-Dunn/dp/1843109158
