foundation homes international: Preparing the Way for Small Children on Moving Day
- 05/30/16 02:50 AM
Moving Day: for Mill Valley residents who relish order in their lives, this is one day when no amount of preparation is likely to totally quell the feeling that the world is on the verge of chaos. The day (or days, if the move is one that begins or ends outside Marin County) will predictably end with all worldly goods beginning to rearrange themselves in their new settings—but although the outcome is assured, as moving day approaches, rattled nerves require taking a deep breath. Several deep breaths…
When you add small children to the mix, strategic preparation is even clearer as the … (0 comments)

foundation homes international: Memorial Day Just Feels Like Marin County’s Summer is Here
- 05/30/16 02:26 AM
Monday’s Memorial Day in Marin County capped a weekend that definitely felt like summer was close at hand. Actual summer may not arrive in San Rafael until the summer solstice on June 20, but especially in years like this one, when Monday’s holiday is also just two days removed from the start of hurricane season, it’s clearly time to check whether there are any charcoal briquettes left over from last year.
The Atlantic hurricane season officially starts on June 1 because, logically, that’s about when the storms out there in the mid-Atlantic begin to get serious. Technically, between June 1 and November … (0 comments)

foundation homes international: Novato Real Estate Investment: The Class Act
- 05/16/16 07:38 PM
Thoughtful Novato investors find themselves in an increasingly uncertain environment. Although the official cost of living numbers indicate that inflation isn’t much of an issue, few Marin residents who mind the family budget are convinced. Even if that were currently the case, even fewer think it a situation that will last indefinitely. At the same time, dollars banked in savings accounts earn next to nothing. And at this point, many feel that trusting in the stock market requires nerves of steel. Last week, The Wall Street Journal was reporting that even the biggest hedge fund managers, convened in Las Vegas for … (0 comments)

foundation homes international: Marin Open Houses: The Top 6 Approaches
- 05/16/16 07:32 PM
The debate continues about whether open houses are effective for marketing Marin County homes. Yes, sales do still originate from them, but the percentages have been declining since social media and online listings changed the way Marin prospects look for their next home.
Whether an open house is likely to garner qualified traffic is a decision that clients and I work out together on a case-by-case basis. The choice has to do with the nature of the property, its location, history, and the state of the current Tiburon market. Some properties are much better suited to being shown on a one-on-one guided … (0 comments)

foundation homes international: An Answer to When to Put Your Marin Home Up for Sale
- 05/16/16 07:23 PM
While reading a real estate magazine article about “the pros and cons of buying during the peak selling season,” I was fairly certain (as you probably would be) that, one way or another, the cons wouldn’t outweigh the pros. The Mill Valley’s peak selling season is certainly prime time whenever there are homes for sale, but often there are reasons when other times of year can be opportune.
The article in came up with more pros than cons. No surprise there: we can all bank on the inevitability of that conclusion (that NOW is a good time to buy or sell) whenever … (0 comments)

foundation homes international: A Real Estate Gimmick That Might Save the Planet
- 05/16/16 06:56 PM
The headline had to stop everyone who even glanced at Bloomberg’s Technology section: San Rafael readers (even those who are relatively gimmick-immune) would have been hard pressed to pass up last Wednesday’s Bloomberg Technology headline: “Can This Real Estate Gimmick Save the World?”
Whether the subject of the article really is a gimmick or “the greatest real estate amenity since running water” is yet to be determined—but it’s certainly, at the very least, an intriguing idea. Steve Wynn is intrigued. He’s tearing up the golf course behind his Las Vegas Strip hotels to replace it with an installation. And with 60 of … (0 comments)

foundation homes international: Homeowners Tax Deduction Lessens Tax Day Trauma
- 05/02/16 06:03 AM
Sometimes life throws curves your way. It can put you into situations you never intended—which may be hard to explain. That’s how it is with me and the tax collector.
As we recently experienced, there’s nothing like Tax Day to bring home the reality of just how many dollars are diverted into government coffers. Instead of quietly resting in our Marin bank accounts where they belong, great bunches of our dollars are dispatched to the tax collector, thinning the ranks of their fellows in the bank. They’ll be left to face the future alone. I’d be tempted to paint a picture of … (0 comments)

foundation homes international: One Key Quality to Seek in Your Tiburon REALTOR®
- 05/02/16 05:57 AM
When you find yourself being drawn to the real estate listings, even only to peek, it’s a clue that something big may be on the horizon. Either you’ve begun to think you’ve begun to outgrow your current Marin County home, or you’re just curious about what could be available in case you should decide to upsize, or downsize—or to move on because of a professional change that only just might be hanging there as a possibility…
The tipoff is the twinge of curiosity about those other Marin homes—the ones that are out there on the market this spring. It’s always somewhat interesting … (0 comments)

foundation homes international: Research Reveals — Top 10 Top 10 Real Estate Lists
- 05/02/16 05:46 AM
Why it is that we’re drawn to “Top 10” lists in general is a matter we can leave to the psychologists. Suffice it to say that the lists are a staple on the super market tabloids and they’re all over the web. I admit they get more than their share of my own attention, even when my curiosity about a list’s subject matter is negligible. It’s probably because they’re quick to skim through and agree or disagree with…
Since they are so pervasive, it occurred to me that there might be something to learn if we could determine which ones that deal … (0 comments)

foundation homes international: Marin Home Sellers Check Latest Construction News
- 05/02/16 05:33 AM
When we are keeping tabs on the Marin County’s real estate scene, it’s only natural to go directly to the portion of the market we are most connected to. If we are a renter or investor, our eye is drawn to trends affecting that segment. Marin home sellers (or potential home sellers) can be counted on to pretty much ignore that information, instead concentrating on the latest single family residential listings, asking prices, and news related thereto.
Yet some trends in one sector can significantly impact the others. That’s the way it is with construction—any kind of construction. Whether it comes in … (0 comments)
