BUYING + SELLING

A clear path forward.

Room for your questions.
A plan for your next move.

01A CONSIDERED APPROACH TO

Buying your home

We’ll start with the way you want to live, then explore the communities and homes that could fit. I’ll help you compare your options and understand each step along the way.

How we’ll work together

  1. Define your search

    We’ll start with what you want your next home to make possible: your everyday routine, the space you need, and the places you’d like to be close to. I’ll help you clarify your priorities and timing, explain how we’ll work together, and encourage an early conversation with a lender so your search has a comfortable financial foundation.

  2. Explore homes

    As we explore Marin’s communities and visit homes together, we’ll get a clearer sense of what feels right for you. I’ll help you look closely at each home’s layout, setting, and access to the places that matter in your life. Your priorities may evolve along the way, and we’ll refine the search together.

  3. Evaluate the property

    When a home interests you, we’ll take time to understand it beyond the first impression. I’ll help you review available disclosures, consider its condition and physical setting, and identify questions that need further investigation. Where appropriate, we’ll seek input from qualified professionals so you can make an informed decision.

  4. Make an offer

    When you feel ready, I’ll help you put together an offer that reflects both the property and your priorities. We’ll review comparable sales and discuss price, financing, contingencies, and timing. I’ll explain the terms and help you navigate the seller’s response so you understand your options at each point.

  5. Escrow

    Once your offer is accepted, we’ll work through the remaining details together. I’ll help coordinate inspections and further investigations, keep track of contractual deadlines, and stay in touch with your lender and escrow team. As new information comes in, we’ll discuss what it means and any decisions you need to make.

  6. Closing

    As closing approaches, I’ll help you prepare for the final walkthrough, review the remaining steps with your team, and confirm the arrangements for possession. We’ll stay connected through confirmation of closing and the handover of your new home.

02A STRATEGIC APPROACH TO

Selling your home

Your home has its own story, and your move has its own timing. We’ll create a thoughtful plan for preparation, pricing and presentation, with your priorities guiding the process.

How we’ll work together

  1. Goals + strategy

    We’ll begin with what comes next for you: why you’re considering a move, your preferred timing, and whether you’re planning to buy another home. I’ll listen to your priorities, explain how we’ll work together, and help shape a plan that fits your circumstances. You’ll have a clear sense of the next steps before we begin.

  2. Pricing

    Your home holds a personal history, and deciding on an asking price deserves a thoughtful conversation. I’ll review comparable sales, competing listings, and your home’s condition, features, and setting. We’ll look at that information together and choose a pricing strategy grounded in the market and your goals.

  3. Prepare the home

    Getting your home ready can feel like a lot to take on. I’ll help you decide where to focus, from repairs and improvements to staging and presentation, with your budget and timing in mind. We’ll also plan for disclosures and any appropriate pre-sale inspections, so the preparation feels manageable and purposeful.

  4. Marketing + launch

    When your home is ready, I’ll help bring its story and setting into focus through a coordinated presentation. We’ll plan photography, property materials, online exposure, and showings around the home and your schedule. As buyers begin visiting, I’ll keep you informed about activity and feedback, and we’ll discuss any adjustments together.

  5. Offers + negotiation

    When an offer arrives, we’ll take time to understand what it means for you. I’ll walk you through the price, financing, contingencies, timing, and other terms, then help you compare your options. Throughout the conversation and negotiation, we’ll keep your priorities and plans for the move in view.

  6. Escrow + closing

    After you accept an offer, I’ll stay alongside you as we work through the remaining steps. I’ll help coordinate with the buyer’s agent and escrow team, track contractual deadlines and agreed obligations, and keep you informed as questions arise. We’ll also prepare for closing and the handover so you can plan your move with a clear understanding of the arrangements.
