My most recent home tours have been with residents of San Francisco who are interested in moving to Marin because they want more room, great public schools or better weather. All are great reasons to move here!My experience has been that these future Marin dwellers have one town in mind (after talking to friends or just hearing about a certain area) and they want to begin their search there. After our home tour and hearing about their wishlist of their &quot;perfect home&quot;... ]]> </description>

            <description> <![CDATA[ 


I have had numerous rental properties in 3 Bay Area counties over the last 12 years and I have come up with a short list of dos and don'ts when buying rental properties that I'd like to share with you. This is just my opinion and I am sure others have different thoughts.  Understanding that owning rental property is an interactive investment is most important.  Even if you plan on having a property management company help you it is still a hands on investment that will require your time, en... ]]> </description>

As an east coast transplant, I love meeting new people and hearing why they love living in Marin County. I was able to catch up with a few more Marin residents, here's what they had to say:

I chose to live in Larkspur because of the convenience to the freeway. The town itself is filled with natural beauty and great trails for hiking. Larkspur is centrally located and has the best downtown area for shopping and eating at great restaurants. The weather is absolutely amazing and I can get to th... ]]> </description>

Great idea.  Being a Kentfield School District (KSD) parent I thought I might blog about my experience with the schools and why I like living in Kentfield.

A little background.  I moved here on a whim.  Well, not entirely.  I picked Kentfield because my son (now in 5th grade at Kent Middle School) was nearing the first day of Kindergarten and I like to hike.  As it happens Kentfield has a great school district and a number of local hiking trails on Mount Tamalpais.

When deciding to move to Marin County from New York City a few years
ago, my husband and I knew we wanted to live in a place that was beautiful and
temperate all year round. Frankly, we were tired of the cold winters and
knowing our family would be growing we wanted to be somewhere very kid
friendly. A few years later, we are settled into San Rafael and couldn't
imagine our lives anywhere else. The ease of life whether it's going to the
park in the middle of winter, being close to shop... ]]> </description>

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>

            <title>Montessori Schools in Marin - Your Options</title>

Marin County offers several Montessori school options.
Whether you are relocating to Marin with young children or have lived here a
long time, but are in the process of researching Montessori options in Marin,
thought I’d write a little bit about a few of the schools I have researched and
know families whose children attend these schools.





 

Several Marin Montessori schools follow and are inspired
by the principles of Association Montessori International. If you are a n... ]]> </description>

Recently, I have had several clients interested in purchasing Bel Marin Keys real estate in Novato, CA. This is a hidden away part of Marin County that not everyone knows about. And it's some of the most affordable waterfront property in Marin! 

Home sales in this neighborhood range from $500,000 to $1,000,000 or more depending on size, waterfront, upgrades, etc. Many of these homes have deep water docks. There are currently 4 listings in the neighborhood and these listings ranging from... ]]> </description>

Students of Marin County Schools
scored well in the recent results released regarding the annual Standardized
Testing and Reporting exams (STAR). In fact, they outperformed state averages by a
significant margin. The tests measure second through seventh grade students'
proficiency in math and English.

According to the Marin
IJ, 73.4% of Marin students were proficient in English, whereas 54% of all
California students in those grades were proficient in English... ]]> </description>

Deck Views from Mill Valley, California

So, you've made the decision to move to Marin County. On top of all of the other things that pop up during a move (home inspections, price negotiations, etc), you need to choose a school for your kids. One might think that this is a quick and easy decision- just send them to the school in your neighborhood, right? Not necessarily. The school that you choose to send your child to is going to be one that is instrumental in shaping them as a human being, ... ]]> </description>
