Thinking About Selling in Marin? Read This First.

Selling your home in Marin County is an exciting step, but it comes with its own set of unique challenges and opportunities. From understanding the local market to preparing your home for discerning buyers, there’s a lot to consider. Here’s a guide to help you navigate the process with confidence and maximize your sale.

Selling your home in Marin is a big moment, and it deserves a plan that feels thoughtful and grounded. From knowing the rhythm of the market to preparing your home for buyers who appreciate good design, here are the essentials to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

Know your local market

Marin is a collection of micro-markets, each with its own pace and personality. Mill Valley buyers look for something different than Corte Madera or Ross buyers. We’ll look closely at recent sales, current demand, and what buyers are prioritizing right now to set a price that feels smart and competitive.

Choose the right moment

Timing shapes your outcome. Spring and early summer often get the most action, but every home is different. Sometimes a late summer or early winter launch is the sweet spot. Together we’ll pick the moment when your home will feel its most compelling.

Let your first impression shine online

Most buyers fall in love before they ever step through the door. Beautiful photography, thoughtful styling, and clear storytelling help your home stand out. We’ll make sure your listing feels warm, inviting, and scroll-stopping.

Prepare your home with intention

A clean space is good. A well-edited, well-styled space is better. Minor updates, fresh paint, and thoughtful staging can completely transform the way buyers experience your home. We’ll focus on the updates that offer the biggest return without overcomplicating your prep.

Get ahead with inspections and disclosures

Marin buyers value transparency. Pre-listing inspections and early disclosures set the tone for a smooth transaction. They build trust and often lead to stronger offers with fewer surprises. I’ll walk you through what you need and when.

If you’re starting to think about selling, we’re here to help you map out the next steps and make the process feel simple, clear, and beautifully executed.
