Your new home awaits
We go the extra mile, and ultimately, the extra mile is the only mile that counts
Our buyers can rest assured that every avenue is explored to find your dream home. Off-market listings are just one more way to “leave no stone unturned” in finding your perfect home. These are properties for sale that are not published on the M.L.S. and thus not available to the general public on the internet.

Access to off-market homes
In Marin, many of the most desirable homes now sell privately, before they are ever listed publicly. They circulate within invitation-only networks of top-producing agents, and buyers whose agents aren’t members never see them. Through our memberships, you see homes other buyers don’t know exist, and you hear about new opportunities as soon as they come up.
Top Agent Network Membership is limited to agents ranked in the top 10% of their local market, verified by closed sales data.
Marin Platinum Group A network dedicated entirely to off-market and pre-market listings, with membership based on an agent’s track record.

When buying, why is your agent so important?
Selecting an agent can be one of the most important decisions you make, so how do you choose?
Ensure you are aligned with your agent on taste and that your real estate team has architectural/design experience
Your agent is “your eyes” not only when it comes to being a valuable member of your team during the home search and cull process, but even more importantly must be aligned with your sensibilities when we hone in on target properties. Your agent’s understanding of the implications (general time, cost, liability) of improvements, as well as her/his creative design skills and experience in order to visualize the potential of a property that may need work, are essential.
Our background in residential architecture and design gives us an advantage and distinct perspective in analyzing whether a property is a good fit for our specific clients or not, and to help see beyond (or help evaluate) difficulties a property may seem to have.
Consider your agent’s understanding of value analysis (so that you pay an appropriate price for your home) and value retention (for best resale opportunities) in this real estate market
We are keenly aware of how a house not only has to be a great home for you to live in but a home that translates well to great resale, because some day you will become a seller and you will want your home to appreciate to the best of its ability.
“Patty has an exceptional eye for seeing not only what a home is today, but what it could become… Having her perspective, along with the resources and expertise to execute those improvements, has been invaluable.”
Laura and Spencer, Greenbrae and Tiburon
Your agent’s negotiation skills can often make the difference between you securing your dream home or not
You should also ask yourself, once we find your home, what is your agent’s negotiating ability on your behalf, particularly in a multiple bid situation? Our clients consistently win in multiple bid scenarios thanks to our purchase offer strategies. With over 36 years of residential sales, we “know a thing or two because we have seen a thing or two.”
“Rural property comes with a whole set of questions that most buyers (us included) have no idea how to ask. Patty and Kalara knew what to look for and who to call, and they caught things we never would have caught.”
