I am frequently prompted to go to the City of San Rafael website when a client asks me about their home's permit history or whether they need a permit in order to do some minor remodeling. One recent visit to the site so impressed me by the variety of information and events advertised that I thought I'd share the wealth.

The City of San Rafael has an &quot;epermit&quot; page where you can check your home's permit history by either address or parcel number.  On that page you can also chec... ]]> </description>

Recognizing that a majority of people tune out information
that is delivered with a lot of statistics and charts, I wanted to share with
you some very significant statistics related to the Marin real estate market in an &quot;easy to read and digest&quot; format.  These statistics were presented at a monthly “market
update” meeting held for the benefit of the Marin real estate community.

In Marin’s county seat of San Rafael – the news in the last
week of two major music venues in the works for early spring (or sooner) is big
and exciting news.  Phil Lesh’s purchase
of the Seafood Peddler in the canal neighborhood brings this Grateful Dead bassist
back to the same neighborhood where the band maintained its’ business arm,
rehearsal spaces and archives from 1970-95. 
The restaurant will remain intact with a change in menu and the current

I am very excited to announce that I represented buyers in securing front row seats to the America's Cup beginning in the summer of 2012! These clients successfully closed escrow on 22 Atwood Avenue in Sausalito earlier today. This home is brand new, eco-friendly construction with unparalleled views of the bay, city skyline and beyond.  Boasting a location that is within walking distance to downtown Sausalito as well as located at the top of the the Second Street steps, this propert... ]]> </description>

I am delighted to announce that I assisted yet another first time home buyer in purchasing a beautiful townhouse in the Ladera Vista community in southern Novato.  23 Acapulco Court closed today for $299,000 and represents a fantastic deal for a very patient but very happy new homeowner!  This townhouse boasts approximately 1850 square feet and had recent upgrades including hardwood floors, a granite and stainless kitchen and upgraded baths.  This process took several months to complete ... ]]> </description>

Perhaps you are preparing to move to another home locally or
across the country.  Maybe you are about
to embark on a major remodel of your home and need to move much of your
belongings out for a fixed period of time. 
Another scenario finds you getting ready to sell your home.  You've selected a realtor, met with the
stager and you need to make way for some important staging and accessorizing of
your main living areas.  Your garage is
already packed to the gills so what exact... ]]> </description>

Since mid-May, Larkspur Ferry commuters have been enjoying the Friday &quot;Food Truck Crush&quot; from 4 to 8 p.m. each week.  This pilot program is coordinated by Marin County-based Ready Set Entertainment, Inc. and will come to an end at the end of this month.  Thankfully, there is a recommendation pending before the Golden Gate Transit District to establish a long-term program beginning next spring.  A concept that has its' true genesis in Portland where gourmet food trucks and c... ]]> </description>

            <title>In August, 2011 What Does One Million Dollars Buy You in Marin County Real Estate?</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 


Given the downward trend in home prices,Â  I thought it would be an interesting exercise to compare in todayâs Marin
County community-specific housing market, what one million dollars buys in the
way of real property.Â  Does it look all
that different from the height of the market in early 2007 when the median
price of a single family home approached one million dollars?Â  Iâll let you be the judge based upon a survey
of communities throughout southern, central and northern Marin.Â... ]]> </description>

            <title>Cooperative Ownership in Marin: Distinctions between Condo and Co-op Ownership</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
I recently showed condominiums and cooperatives in Terra Linda to a buyer-client and they were unfamiliar with the differences between these two types of homes.  You may be surprised to learn that Marin is home to several cooperative communities so I thought a brief discussion about these two types of properties would be both helpful and instructive.

As a practical matter, there is no significant advantage or disadvantage to cooperative vs. condominium ownership. They are both considered Com... ]]> </description>

            <title>Marin County Radon Levels and the Local Real Estate Market - What You Need To Know</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
In recent months I've had several clients ask me about radon testing.  As a result, I thought it would be useful to provide a brief discussion about radon, what it is, why it is dangerous and how to determine whether your home is in a neighborhood with high radon levels. 

Radon is a naturally occuring radioactive gas.  It is odorless, invisible and without taste, and cannot be detected with the human senses.  The only way to detect it is to test for it.  Radon is released during the na... ]]> </description>
