The North Bay's mix of high-value Marin homes, Sonoma wine country estates, and Napa Valley properties means that full-service agent commissions can be enormous — often $50,000 to $100,000 or more on a single transaction. When the buyer and seller already know each other, paying that kind of commission for services you don't need makes no sense.
We provide full transactional agency for private sales throughout the North Bay using standard CAR contracts and forms. Whether it's a family compound in Mill Valley, a ranch property in Petaluma, or a home in downtown San Rafael, the process is the same: professional transaction management from contract to close for a flat $6,000 fee.
Common Scenarios in the North Bay
Passing down a family home in Marin. Multi-generational property in Marin County is common, and families often want to sell or transfer directly to children or relatives. We manage the sale while your estate planner handles the tax and trust implications.
Wine country property between partners. Business partners or friends transacting vineyard or estate property without needing the full marketing apparatus of a full-service agent.
Divorce property transfers. The family law attorney handles the divorce settlement — we handle the real estate transaction when one spouse buys out the other's share of the North Bay home.
