Wow, it's a plush new Spa for dogs. Who could be more deserving than our furry
friends whose owners are the second largest constituency in Marin County
according to a recent article. The owners of K9 Scrub Club have thought of
everything and seized a great business opportunity. What happened to hip and funky Fairfax? It's gone upscale.
Here's the perfect day in Fairfax. Drop Buddy off at the Spa
for an Oatmeal facial and Gentle Berry shampoo, while you go across the street
to shop at Good Earth. When you pick up Buddy, don't forget to...
              What? You don't have a teenager? Well, the
first thing to keep in mind when considering a house for your teenager is that
your cute little gurgling baby will BE a teenager in the blink of an eye, so if
you don’t plan ahead you’ll be selling and buying a new house in seven to ten
years.If you already have a teenager,
you know what you wish you had if you don’t have it.And if you’ve got the right kind of house for
your teenager(s), you are probably all much happier for it!
Buying a house with some extra room
that you currently don’t see yourself using can pay off big time in the future,
sparing you the upset of...

Multiple Offer Situations heating up again -Â
This past week I wrote two offers for two different clients.
Both were for single family residences, one in San Rafael, one in south Novato.
They attracted 15, and 14 offers respectively. They both went into contract for
over $100,000 OVER asking price. Both cases were a bit extreme since they were
listed for a bit "under market value" which isn't that common. Yet, it tells us
a lot about the eagerness among buyers in Marin right now.
It is more common with multiple offers for homes priced
below $1 million. But even in the high-end segment it is common to have 2-5
offers. Any time a house is priced at or below current market value, one can
expect more than one offer.
Last year was infamous for the uptick in multiple offer
situations, not to mention the fast increases in real estate prices. No one has
a crystal ball, and it may be too early to say if...
 875 Tamalpais Avenue #14 in Novato just sold!
I just helped my client with the purchase of this 3 bedroom, 2 bath unit
with an enclosed garage. This client had been looking for several months, and had made offers on other units---then began to go to Brokers' Open Houses with me. When we walked in to this home, we knew it was the right one. We made an offer right
away and it was accepted! Great location, great light, great commute location! The sale was completed in less than 30 days; The buyer even got a credit at closing and can't wait to move in!
Even in today's competitive Marin County real estate market, there are opportunities for buyers...

I am pleased to announce the sale of my listing with Maggi
Dale, Marin Modern at 674 Mandana Blvd in Oakland. We had the opportunity to

A pocket park, a small green lawn, plenty of inviting benches, and a shimmering fountain with statues of Yoda and Harrison Ford grace the space next to the San Anselmo Town Hall. Opened on June 20, 2013, on land donated by George Lucas, this petite parcel is a focal point for the Downtown area and a magnet for kids of all ages. Directly across the street from Marin Coffee Roasters, the Park attracts shoppers, strollers, sun-seekers, coffee drinkers, dog walkers, Moms, Dads, Kids, residents, visitors, nannies with baby strollers, and a multitude of others. Beckoning passers-by for a look, a sit, conversation, contemplation, a meetup, a play date, a stop at an impromptu lemonade stand raising money for a school project, it is an attractive addition to the extremely walkable San...
