SUCCESS for SELLERS

What to expect as a seller in the 2009 Marin real estate market?

It all depends .... on the property you are selling, the way it is prepared and marketed, and your timing.  There is every indication that desireable homes in good locations are still fetching close to (all time high) prices of 2004 thru 2006.  While there was an overall drop in average sales prices of about 8 percent in 2008, and about the same in average price per square foot, there were still properties that sold for as much as they would have in previous years. 

Our recent listings have ranged from a Sausalito condo in the $400k's to a spectacular Tiburon view home over $3m.  We have a strong record of success, especially for those properties that were priced right for the market.  One reason why is our exceptional marketing.  Regardless of the property, our standards are the same:

-- Top quality professional photography used for all listings (at our expense, of course!) -- not many Marin County realtors can match this claim. 

-- Our two decades of combined marketing success for practically every known product to man makes us ideally suited to market real estate.  Our skills and marketing expertise go far beyond the normal Marin mom & pop realtor team.

--We provide professional staging consultation (and up to five hours of expert staging labor, including the personal touches that make all the difference) at no extra charge!

-- Our focused, consistent marketing effort extends to every media corner imaginable; beyond the scope of most Marin listings -- from slick magazines (when advisable) and dozens fo internet sites to weekly Sunday newspaper ads to a regular presence on such sites as Craig's list.

Just the beginning of this page of some of the most beautiful homes we have represented. This one, at 21 Upper Ardmore in Larkspur, sold for $1.325.  It is a soundly built contemporary beauty with awesome views, total quiet and privacy, and a lovely easy to live in floor plan.
