In today's market over 35% of our home sales happen off-market which means you won't see them on your phone or computer because they never hit the MLS. Often the most coveted properties are privately announced to a select group of top agents prior to going on the MLS and are then sold without ever reaching the primary market. Our team has a proven track record for uncovering hidden off-market gems for our exclusive buyer clients. As a top producing team with over half a billion dollar in sales, we utilize a variety of strategies to help our buyers get the opportunity to see these properties first. Whether it be homes that are announced through Top Agent Network, or from networking with other top producers, we make it our mission to be in the know and to get a first look.
The evaporation of inventory in the 2021 fall market presented an incredible opportunity for sellers to take advantage of this shift in the market. With an unprecedented amount of requests from our network of top agents in Marin & San Francisco looking for luxury homes in Kentfield & Ross, we knew the momentum was building for a special property to sell for a spectacular price. 44 Hill Drive, was exactly what the market was asking for. A private estate with a resort-like atmosphere, impeccable design, beautiful grounds with a pool and Tam views. Our clients responded to our proposal to prep the property and quickly execute a targeted off-market campaign to a select group of highly qualified prospects. The results were extraordinary with a record breaking $2,093 a sq. ft., $1,135,000 over the asking price. The Takeaway: Intuitive market analysis and sophisticated presentation entices discerning buyers to pay a premium.

Even in an inventory constricted market when competition is fierce and overbidding the norm, opportunities can be found with proactive and strategic networking. Our clients, a young couple from the city, wanted to find a turn-key, resort-style home in Kentfield with a pool. They didn’t want to participate in the bidding wars but were willing to pay the seller's price for the right home. Tapping into our trusted and established relationships with other top agents we uncovered the gem they were looking for. A Cape Cod style shingle home being prepped to go on the market. We were the first ones to see it and eliminated the competition by acting quickly. The buyers were thrilled to find their dream home without having to compete with the general public.
