The northern end of Novato, San Marin, is one of the last
areas a buyer can find a sweet single family residence in Marin County for
under $800,000 with a great back yard.Â
This may not be the case for much longer, but I do find myself showing
homes here to buyers that have been priced out of southern and even central
Marin. Â Don't overlook San Marin!Â
Check out these prices for closed homes in the last 6
months!

Congratulations are in order for my buyer that just
closed on 1 Hawk Ridge Court in beautiful Pacheco Valle. With such limited inventory, I have been on
the home hunt for him since June! By
mailing buyer letters to some targeted complexes in Novato, we even previewed
off market properties, yet so little to choose from. However, this PUD came on the market at the
end of July for a few days and then was quickly pulled off the MLS due to some
seller/tenant complications. With my
buyers mind set on this lovely home, I decided...

69 Lincoln Drive, Sausalito closed today at the asking
price of $879,000 after a 9 week escrow period.Â
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...

I am so
excited for my buyer who just closed today on the purchase of 10 Rowe Ranch
Drive, a beautiful Single Family Residence in the southern Novato neighborhood
of Ignacio. This 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath
home was impeccably maintained by the previous owners and has upgrades galore! The location is highly desirable being so
close to the 101 corridor leading to SF and the Wine Country, also in close
proximity to the Indian Valley hiking trails, Paradise Foods and many upscale
shops and restaurants. This home closed...

When purchasing a home, your agent will ask you if you
want a home warranty. It is an item on
the C.A.R. Residential Purchase Agreement in which the cost is negotiable
between the buyer and the seller. My buyers
often ask me if it is necessary. The
answer is no, it is not necessary, but in my opinion, well worth it. Even if the buyer has to pay for it themselves,
it should be done. And I will tell you
why...
A home warranty covers failures of the mechanical systems
within the home due to normal wear and tear after close of escrow. These systems include the furnace, water
heater, air conditioning, electrical, attic and exhaust fans, ceiling fans, plumbing,
plumbing stoppages and the appliances just to name a few. The policies are very...

Looking for an inexpensive
way to enjoy a family day? Take the kids
to a community pool! Keep them busy for
hours and tire them out while you bask in the Marin sun and read a book. Here is a list of local community pools by
city that offer public swim hours for non-members at a reasonable fee. And if community pools or club memberships
aren't your thing, you can call me and I will help you find a home for sale
with a pool!

I just sold this lovely end unit in Edgewater Commons. This
turn-key, single level condo with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms is light and bright. Â Great location near downtown Novato, shops,
restaurants, parks and more! What a great investment! The new owners had tons
of interest when they posted the unit for rent.Â
It rented one day after closing escrow!Â
The rental market is so hot! Why
not buy a property and rent it out so someone else can pay the mortgage off for
you? If you are looking for a great
investment...
