Greenbrae’s Value & My Interview on Forbes

Posted on August 31, 2009 by Ginger Wilcox

Forbes recently published their list of America’s most expensive zip codes, most of which have seen very sluggish home sales.  As part of the story, they focused on real estate markets that have tremendous value for being the luxury home market “next door” to the toniest of neighborhoods.  The Marin County neighborhoods of Kentfield and Greenbrae received the majority of the focus in the story which I was interviewed for.

Kentfield has seen prices decline 20% this year while Greenbrae is only down 9% according to stats by Altos Research.

Hiking in Marin- Mt. Baldy to Mt. Tam

Posted on August 18, 2009 by Ginger Wilcox

I guess you could say we take “surveying the neighborhood” seriously.  Lei Ann and I have a San Anselmo home for sale at 472 Laurel Avenue.  One of the reasons the homeowners love their home is the proximity to hiking trails literally outside their front door.  When I was out of town last week, Lei Ann took a hike and shot these beautiful pictures.

What she said about the adventure:

It was quite a hike, very steep and mostly up hill. Daisy and I were both really tired at the end.

Enjoy the views of Mt. Baldy (Bald Mountain) and beyond to Mount Tamalpais!
