Some of the most rewarding moments in real estate are when everything connects. Over the past six months, I’ve sold three homes in the same Mill Valley neighborhood. It started with one sale, then a neighbor reached out, and soon after, another.

This most recent sale, 921 Valley View Lane, was truly special– a bright, south-facing home tucked at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac. With incredible space, craftsmanship, and sustainable design, every detail reflected thoughtful care and seamless indoor-outdoor living, perfect for both everyday life and entertaining.

This sale is a reminder that preparation, presentation, and genuine relationships make all the difference. When clients see results, they notice, and trust you to deliver for their community whether it’s family, friends, or neighbors. It was a joy helping my clients achieve a fantastic result and pass this special home on to its next owners.

If you’re looking to sell or curious what your own home might be worth in today’s market, I’d love to connect to discuss how my neighborhood expertise and proven strategy can help.

Some homes simply feel special the moment you step inside, and 12 Indian Road was one of them. Designed by renowned Bay Area architect Charles Warren Callister, this hillside retreat embodies timeless Marin living. With its wraparound deck, natural landscape, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow, the home invited you to slow down and take in the beauty around it.

Through thoughtful staging, strategic pricing, and curated marketing, we were able to bring the home’s architectural story to life. Every detail of our preparation highlighted the craftsmanship and unique design, allowing buyers to connect with the space.

In a hesitant San Rafael market, this sale was a reminder that the right preparation and strategy makes all the difference. When a home is prepared and presented with intention, it finds the right audience and inspires quick, confident sales.

If you’re considering selling, I’d love to share how preparation, presentation, and local expertise can make your home stand out in today’s market.

The lower level includes three additional bedrooms, a spacious laundry room, and abundant storage. Outside, enjoy a flat grassy yard, expansive deck, and private workshop.

From its gated entry to its radiant heat (individually controlled in every room), every detail of this home reflects enduring craftsmanship and sustainable design. Life here means proximity to San Francisco, Muir Beach, and Stinson Beach, while still feeling worlds away.

I recently helped a growing family upsize and move closer to downtown Mill Valley. Their new home was purchased entirely off market and secured under asking price.

In Marin, roughly a quarter of homes sell without signage, MLS listings, or public marketing. Over the past decade, I’ve built trusted relationships with agents, homeowners, and community members, giving my clients access to that hidden side of the market.

Through those connections, we secured this beautiful Mill Valley property before it ever reached the market.

Recently, I had the opportunity to work on a beautiful home in Larkspur that perfectly demonstrated the impact staging can have on a sale. After thoughtful preparation and a tailored staging plan, the home went to market, generated 9 offers, and ultimately sold for $1 million over asking.

Staging shapes how buyers experience a home. It ensures each space is shown in its most compelling light, highlighting its strongest features and creating a connection that encourages buyers to imagine themselves living there.

In Marin County’s competitive market, presentation matters. The right staging can spark immediate interest, encourage competitive offers, and help deliver the best possible outcome. This Larkspur sale is a reminder that strategic staging can make all the difference in achieving a standout result.  

In late March, I had a listing that received nine offers and sold $1 million over asking. Just two weeks later, I launched a similarly priced and beautifully prepped home—and the energy had completely shifted.

What changed?

In April, the initial tariff announcement and broader economic uncertainty caused many buyers to pause. Activity slowed, but sellers continued to bring their homes to market, resulting in a noticeable inventory build-up. The demand-supply imbalance created hesitation, and we saw homes sit longer than expected.

By May, some buyers returned but only for turnkey homes that stood out with the right prep, pricing, and presentation. That’s when we sold a listing in Kentfield for $4 million. It was a modern beautiful home that found the right buyer through targeted marketing and strategy.

Still, many listings didn’t make it through the spring season. Some were rented out, while others were pulled off the market to try again in the fall. We haven’t experienced this kind of spring market volatility in years.

Now, as summer inventory starts to taper, I’m hearing from more buyers than usual. The big questions ahead:

• Will fall bring a more balanced Marin market?
• Will sellers price more realistically?
• Will buyers feel confident enough to act?
