I represented the buyer on this transaction which was one of the most
challenging sales in a long time! My buyer
had a VA loan which made it difficult to find a home in Marin in which a seller
would accept an offer requiring a completely clear Section 1 pest report. With most homes in Marin receiving multiple
offers, we were miraculously able to get the buyers offer accepted on this home. However, this was not the only hurdle...we also
had the agreement...
Open House this Sunday from 1-4pm and next Saturday/Sunday 1-4pm. This is a great opportunity to own in the Oakland Hills! www.4387terrabella.com

4 Cielo Ln #1G in Novato is a sweet condo in move-in condition. My buyer client scored on this one, as it is ground level with a straight on view of a gorgeous mature Oak Tree and lush green grounds. This well thought out unit is complete with full sized in-unit laundry, fireplace, fenced patio and bonus den!
The southern Novato location is quick to the freeway and close to shopping and open space.

One of the most known hauntings is at Dominican University

varied from 5,014 in 2007 to 13,343 in 2003. The average since 1988,
when CoreLogic DataQuick’s statistics begin, is 8,479." A chart included with the article showed Marin County sales of 270 units this September, down 10% from last September's 300 sold homes. At the same time, the article points out that the median price of a Marin County sold home in September was $880,000, 17.3% higher than September 2013's median of $750,000.

Traditionally, the real estate market begins to slow down around
Halloween, continuing through the holiday season and most of January. Still, sometimes events occur that create a
compelling reason to sell your home during the holidays: a job change or
relocation, the arrival of a new baby or maybe a long-awaited retirement at
year-end.  If you find yourself in a
situation that precipitates a home sale, take heart, there are actually advantages to marketing your home during the
holidays. Â
For starters, buyers tend to be more serious at this time of
year and often have a genuine need to buy for some of the same reasons you're
motivated to sell; relocation from out of the area, a growing or shrinking
family, etc. There's less competition
for showings since there are fewer homes on the market. Plus, you can make your home uniquely festive,
warm and welcoming during this time of year. Â Here are just a few tips on how to maximize...
