Most real estate sales are loud. We put up signs. We blast photos across the internet. We host open houses for hundreds of strangers. That approach works for many properties. But sometimes… the best move is silence. We just closed a sale in Tiburon for $3,700,000. You will not find the address on the MLS. You … Continue reading Just Sold Off-Market! Tiburon | $3,700,000

Just Sold! 4 Oakhurst Rd | San Rafael | $1,705,000

Floating Homes: The SF Housing Trend That Never Got Its Due
Don’t call them houseboats; the marine properties you see dotting the docks in Bay Area locales like Sausalito and Mission Creek aren’t boats at all, they’re floating homes. And while many are among the most idyllic and beautiful Bay Area properties, they remain something of an oddity, the sort of thing only a very particular … Continue reading Floating Homes: The SF Housing Trend That Never Got Its Due

Despite What You’ve Read, This Is Not the Bay Area’s Richest City
The times they are a-changing up in Belvedere, as that very wealthy Marin County city may soon build its first affordable housing project in over 30 years, although predictably many of the locals are not letting it go on without a fight.

Mill Valley’s Most Expensive Home Asks $12.5 Million
What makes a home listing stand out? Sometimes its historicity, sometimes it’s architectural daring, and sometimes it’s the insight that a property can provide about a city or neighborhood. But maybe the simplest way is just to be worth a whole pile of money, as in the case of 9 Walsh Drive, which listed this … Continue reading Mill Valley’s Most Expensive Home Asks $12.5 Million
Mammoth Mill Valley A-Frame Asks $1.15 Million
We’ve talked before about the nearly cult-like fascination some people have with A-frame homes, spurred in large part by the muscular simplicity of their design and their association with remote NorCal locations, American post-war prosperity, and 20th century nostalgia. But not every home of a certain style has to fit the formula: In the case … Continue reading Mammoth Mill Valley A-Frame Asks $1.15 Million
The Truth About Marin County’s Floating Homes
The Sausalito waterfront is thick with a peculiar varietal of home-buying prospect, the ever-whimsical and increasingly popular floating homes. Most of us have seen them, but few understand how they really work. For one thing, more often than not outsiders refer to these piscine properties as “houseboats,” but in most cases that’s not strictly accurate. … Continue reading The Truth About Marin County’s Floating Homes
