Downtown San Anselmo. Neve and Hawk Lifestyled Clothing and Gear

neve_and_hawk_picture_of_kris_448_02 

Just 3 months ago, on June 10th, Kris and Bob Galmarini opened their first brick and mortar store at 641 San Anselmo Avenue, in the middle of downtown. It was the physical expression of their desire to share their art and their dreams through a line of lifestyled clothing and gear designed and made by and for real people, kids, and families. The Brand, Neve and Hawk, named for the Galmarinis' two children Neve (age 9) and Hawk (5), had been selling well online for several years with a nationwide clientele, including wholesale orders to over 50 stores; in fact, only about 3 percent of sales have come from California!

The Galmarinis arrived in Marin about 3 years ago from South...

San Anselmo Bakery and Cafe, MH Bread & Butter

mh_bread_and_butter_san_anselmo_outside_448_01 

Near my home in San Anselmo, at 101 San Anselmo Avenue, is the burgeoning success story of MH Bread & Butter, the dream child of owner Nathan Yanko and his wife Devon. Formerly a master baker at the famed Tartine Bakery in San Francisco, Nathan wanted to open a cafe that would feature fresh, healthy food at reasonable prices. The inspiration (and ultimately, the name!)  came from his great, great grandfather, Maximillian Hirtreiter, a German immigrant who settled in New York City, opened the famous MJ Hirtreiter Patisserie, and later married and raised a large family with his childhood sweetheart, who came to New York to meet...

Goings on in Downtown San Anselmo. Cucina Re-opens Under "Old Management"!

 cucina_pictures_after_remodel_448

To the present and future delight of those who had for years made it their favorite neighborhood Italian restaurant, as well as legions of the as yet uninitiated, Cucina has re-opened under the original management of Donna Seymour, but with a new twist. Longtime client, Kevin Hansmeyer, has joined the management/ownerhip team. Donna and Kevin now work side by side to provide diners with enjoyable, authentic, and delicious meals that will keep them coming back and telling their friends too!

The freshly updated and remodeled restaurant opened quietly, without fanfare during the week before Christmas, and, even without advertising or promotion, has been consistently busy ever since. Several of the familiar servers have returned, and Bobby, the chef of 15 years,...

How To Navigate in a Seller's Market

realestate-2_120

I know you've read and heard over and over what a highly competitive market we are in. The Bay Area always has been a very desirable place to live, and with low inventory, high demand and lots of buyers out there (both all cash and financing buyers), this truly is a strong sellers market. Having said that, a buyer can compete and win.  Read on!

When working with a buyer, many of us put in offers for our clients only to find we are in a multiple offer situation, repeatedly... and this can cause all of us, clients and agents, to feel stressed and anxious.

So, what is the best way to navigate the market?  I find the best thing I can do is, right from the beginning, be completely honest with my clients by giving them all the facts, realistic possibilities and...
