A New Benchmark for Alta Way
562 Alta Way, Mill Valley
The owners of 562 Alta Way were preparing for a move to Amsterdam and wanted a seamless handoff of a home they loved, without the noise of a public listing. Their priority was clear: a premium result that honored the neighborhood and felt easy from start to finish.
The home was already beautifully updated, but a few details still dated it. Under the guidance of Allie Fornesi, the focus was on strategic refinements, including new carpets, a landscaping refresh, paint touch-ups, light bathroom updates, an exterior trim shift from green to black to modernize the craftsman feel, and full professional staging to elevate the presentation.
With a $50,000 investment in targeted home preparation, the property was introduced quietly off-market to a highly curated group of buyers.
The result: Sold in 7 days for $3,800,000 — the highest sale in the neighborhood at $1,041 per square foot. With a seller goal of $3,500,000, the sale exceeded expectations by $300,000 and delivered a smooth close and easy transition abroad.
