1235 Waterview Drive, Mill Valley
When Brett and Lauren decided to relocate to Chicago to be closer to family, they wanted the best possible return—without the production of a full public launch.
With interest rates still high and market data thin at the end of January, we took a quiet, strategic path. By moving early in the year, we tapped into serious, motivated buyers before the spring rush and before competition picked up. The result was a private, off-market sale designed to maximize exposure while minimizing stress.
A few smart updates made all the difference. Fresh cabinet paint, updated lighting, and a curated home edit shifted the space from personal to effortlessly market-ready.
Five days. Fifty showings. Five offers.
The home sold off-market for $2,800,000—$305,000 over asking, with a seamless rent-back to keep the move easy. Proof that early timing, thoughtful prep, and the right plan can outperform the market. No stage lights required.
