The new year usually brings resolution about cutting spending. Consider including home energy efficiency upgrades – a decision that will save money and increase your comfort for as long as you live in your house – among your 2019 resolutions. Here are three ways to get started:
- Energy Audit. Energy auditors test your house to see where you’re losing the most energy and recommend upgrades to improve energy savings and comfort.

Sleek & Modern with Sensational Views
Sleek, modern, sexy with high-end finishes, and environmentally friendly! Once an ugly duckling this home has been transformed into a show stopper. Every surface has been touched. This completely remodeled 2 bed/1 bath Mill Valley home with unobstructed views of the Marin Headlands and valley below packs a punch with a large 2-car garage and SunPower solar panels with 2-240v outlets for Electric Vehicle charging.
The open floor plan, wall of windows and large decks are part of a larger drama where sun drenched days can quickly change to wind and swirling fog that clings to the hills to spectacular sunsets. You won’t want to leave home when you can...
So excited to get my clients into this beautiful 3BD/2.5BA home at just under 2,100 SF. Built in 1996 this home is absolutely turn-key. The inspections came back with absolutely no issues and the home is located in the most serene woodsy setting in the hills of San Anselmo. We initially began our search for homes in the East Bay, but quickly realized that there were betty deals to have had in Marin. Taking advantage of the slight summertime lull in the market we quickly snatched up this home for $1,200,000. I couldn't be more overjoyed for my clients who now have their new home and enough space to welcome their second child in a couple of months!

The Forbes neighborhood in San Rafael has long been one of
Marin's most sought-after residential neighborhoods.
Located within a few minutes walking distance from down
town, it provides an unmatched convenience and life-style opportunity for its
residents.
The wide streets are lined with beautiful, mature trees
which crowns meet and create magical, green, shady "tunnels". Lush greenery and
flowers spill over the white picket fences adorning the sidewalks. Victorian
homes, Craftsmans, cottages and bungalows all create a welcoming palette for
the eye. And in the midst of everything is the wonderful "West End Nursery"
located. Who would not want to live in such a beautiful neighborhood?
Over the years, I've sold numerous homes in this area and
would welcome an opportunity to assist you with your home purchase (or sale) if
you are interested in this area of San Rafael.
These are a few snapshots I took earlier...

Hiking is one of the most peaceful sports
activities you can do. What is nicer than getting exercise without noticing and
being surrounded by family and friends while enjoying some striking views
served up by mother nature?!

How to sell the "family home" ...when the time comes
There is an aging population in Marin County and sooner or later the "family" home needs to be sold. I have been helping clients, for over 15 years, sell their parents and
grandparents home when the time comes. Each situation is a little different yet
emotions are often high and the need for sound advice on how to navigate the entire
process is extremely important. As a local Realtor I offer such advice. Plus, as
I am in the process of selling my family's home of 56 years, I have in-depth
insight and wisdom to offer...
