Just Sold | 91-95 Elizabeth Way, San Rafael, CA 94901

I just helped my client purchase a nice 3-unit property in San Rafael. Homes rarely come onto the market in this location where you can walk to town. Not only does it provide an investment that covers some of the cost, but it provides an easy commute to work, as well as plenty of sunny days to enjoy throughout the year.
Set in the lower hills of desirable Sun Valley neighborhood just off of Forbes Avenue, this mid-century modern triplex has a rare side-by-side orientation that offers privacy. Each unit has been well-maintained and has two bedrooms and one bathroom, a fireplace, a laundry area, a garage, as well as plenty of storage. You can also enjoy outdoor-living from the deck that each unit offers, with the principal unit…

First Time Home Buyer Questions #1: Why has that property not sold? Is there something wrong with it?
By: Cari Gennarelli Tuesday, January 31st, 2012 at 12:43pm. 86 Views, 0 Comments.Anyone who maintains a blog or has ever written an article for a blog eventually faces the question - What should I write about?
The best piece of advice I received from the countless webinars I attended on blogging was - Write about the subjects you talk about, email about and discuss every day with your clients and friends. As Realtors, we entertain questions about the market, the process, the community and even our jobs every day. It's awesome and one of my favorite parts of being a Realtor - sharing information.
If you have questions, especially the ones you aren't asking because you think they are stupid - you are not alone (and your questions are not stupid). The Real Estate/lending…

As a Realtor and Eichler Home Owner, I'm frequently asked by neighbors, clients, and friends about the current value of their Eichler home.
While there are many entertaining tools on the web that homeowners can utilize to estimate the value of their home, these tools fail to recognize and value the distinct characteristics of Eichler homes which can have a profound impact on determining the true market value for your home.

With a new year upon us, I wanted to provide fellow Eichler fans with a quick look back at the real estate market for our homes in Marin.
In 2011, a total of 50 Eichler Homes were sold in Marin County and I was proud to once again finish the year as the #1 Agent in Marin County for Eichler Home Sales.
