Nothing can take the place of persistence and the new owners of the wonderful Eichler at 8 Mount Foraker Court in Upper Lucas Valley, San Rafael are thrilled that they kept up their search.

Like most buyers, they had made offers on many houses and were disappointed when other buyers overbid their offer or could offer that well-respected commodity - cash. But that did not deter them; we kept looking and it took well over a year to find their castle.

Though the house needs some work, the buyers could see the value. The 4-bedroom, 2-bath home has a remodeled kitchen and two upgraded bathrooms - amenities that are usually the most expensive to update.

Timing was also on their side. Many buyers were

Is is possible to buy a beautiful home in Sausalito, CA - for under $700,000? YES, it is! Congrats to my clients who recently sealed the deal on a beautiful 2BR/2BA spacious home in Sausalito for $649,000. This was an "off-market" sale, meaning it was never officially listed. The escrow followed the same protocoll as any other sale, but took a little longer due to some HOA suprises along teh way. The smart floor plan boosts a high-ceiling living room with fireplace, sliding doors leading out to a deck, remodeled kitchen, 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths + garage!

The home featured 3 bedrooms and 2 baths and backs up to miles of wetlands creating a private oasis. Contempo Marin is a mobile home park that has beautiful Mt.
