Buying a home out in West Marin comes with a specific set of challenges, and finding a level lot directly on Tomales Bay is incredibly hard to do these days. We just helped our clients secure the property at 12900 Sir Francis Drake Boulevard in Inverness for $3,000,000, and the place is incredible. You step through the French doors, walk across a massive waterfront deck, and step right onto a private beach bordering the back lawn. The entire property spans an acre and a half, complete with a mature orchard of apple, pear, and plum trees.
Speed was everything on this deal. Multiple buyers were right on our heels and are definitely licking their wounds right now. Quick action on our part, and more importantly on our clients’ part, is what got them into contract and across the finish line. The market for waterfront property in West Marin is scorching hot right now.
We are finding that another major factor in our success is how we interact with the other side of the transaction. Kindness is key to building lasting relationships in real estate, even when you lose out on a property. The listing agent for this home actually sent us a message confirming this exact sentiment. They noted how funny it was to see John drive up with a mattress from Texas in his truck and mentioned what a nice couple our buyers are.
The agent went on to explain that the representative for the second offer rubbed them the wrong way. They pointed out that when our offer was not accepted, we simply sent a text congratulating them. Conversely, the second agent got angry and wanted the listing agent to disregard the accepted offer, submitting a much higher price but acting very unprofessional and pushy. The listing agent told us they were glad they made this deal with us because it was definitely less stressful.
That kind of feedback validates our entire approach. If you keep losing out on properties and want a team that knows how to move fast while maintaining strong industry relationships, contact us today and work with the only realtor in SF giving back to the planet with each transaction. Do not delay.
