We highly recommend working with Chelsea. She made selling our home as stress free as could be. She knew the market spot on and was razor sharp in all her advice.
- JP, Mill Valley

We could not recommend Chelsea enough! She was so dedicated to finding the perfect home for our family. We chose to sell before buying our next home which made things a bit more complicated but she managed to make it so seamless. She found us a great deal on the sale of our home which included negotiating a very favorable rent back and quickly pivoted to finding our next home in a very competitive market. She was very aligned with our needs from the start and knew exactly what we wanted. She found us the most incredible home and helped us secure it through a very competitive offer in a hard to win market! Chelsea was a dream to work with and we will definitely keep in touch for future real estate needs!

- CN, Mill Valley

As first-time home buyers, we were a little intimated starting our search in such a competitive market like the bay area. Not knowing where to start, we initially met with a number of agents. We knew immediately that Chelsea was far and away the right agent for us - knowledgeable and driven, but patient and understanding. Chelsea was a wonderful advisor throughout the process and we couldn't have asked for more. We ended up with a great first home in Mill Valley and are happy as can be. We couldn't have done it without Chelsea! 

- JB, Mill Valley

Chelsea is amazing. I worked with her to buy my first home, which was a complicated transaction, and she and her team worked hard to make the process straightforward and enjoyable for me--not to mention helping me secure the property in a competitive market for a great price. A year later I chose to work with her on a second transaction and the experience was the same--she went above and beyond to make the transaction fast and painless. Chelsea is a pleasure to work with, knows the ins and outs of her market, and is incredibly strategic when it comes to the transaction itself. I can't recommend her more highly if you're looking to buy or sell a property and want an agent who is smart, responsive, and cares about maximizing value for you.

- MH, Mill Valley  

We met and interviewed three agents, and clearly, Chelsea's calm and kind assertiveness stood apart from the rest of the agents. We discussed the preparation of the house in detail. Her taste level and understanding of our modern home style made preparing the house easy and ultimately effective. In the process, Chelsea developed a solid strategic approach to selling our home that ended in a more than fantastic deal with a lovely family. Chelsea's responsiveness and lovely personality exceeded all our expectations throughout the process. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.

- KV, Lucas Valley/San Rafael

We have bought two houses and sold one with Chelsea. She is a consummate professional, she's a steady and thoughtful guide in a complicated process and she is authentic and always does right by her clients. I couldn't imagine a better agent than Chelsea and feel grateful to have her. In a world that can sometimes be a bit smarmy, and a housing market that can be stressful, definitely connect with Chelsea!

- KS, Mill Valley

Chelsea was different from the first phone call, and my husband and I quickly realized we had just stumbled on an agent on a totally different professional level than our first had been. Somehow Chelsea balances being super on-it with a relaxed demeanor so that we could relax knowing that nothing was slipping through the cracks. We benefitted at every step from Chelsea's expertise and wide network of allied professionals. We already had a lender but Chelsea introduced us to someone who gave us a better deal. She then worked closely with the seller's agents and coached us in a detailed way so that every step of the process went smoothly and we were able to get the house we fell in love with!

- DB, Lucas Valley/San Rafael

Chelsea came highly recommended from a friend and we could not have been more happy with our experience. As first time home buyers, we were excited but very overwhelmed and Chelsea made the process seamless and efficient. She is extremely organized and knowledgeable of the market and was able to get us into a house before anyone else. We had met with a few realtors before being introduced to Chelsea and she truly shines above the rest. She is incredible at what she does and is highly personable and deeply authentic. She truly cares about her clients, we knew that she was on our team the entire time.

- HS, Mill Valley

Chelsea was incredibly well informed and connected in the market, great at understanding our needs and kept us a few steps ahead of our competition. She guided us through what is usually a very lengthy process, expertly and efficiently, found us an off market property where we avoided the famous SF/Marin bidding wars and partnered with our mortgage broker to close in 23 days. Chelsea was also instrumental in leveraging her experience with local contractors to help recommend the right team that could deliver on a renovation on a tight budget and tight timeline.  We look forward to working with her for future properties in SF/Marin.

Home Buyers

When working with homebuyers, my first step in the process is getting to know you so that I can understand and meet your unique personal needs. Whether looking to purchase your first home, forever home, second home, investment property, or anything in between; my first goal is to get to know you and how your next home will fit into your life.

I have a vast network of local agents whom I have worked with and have good relationships with, which can often give buyers an edge in a competitive market. Because of my relationships, I have helped several buyer clients purchase off-market properties, as well as win in multiple-offer situations (sometimes despite not even being the highest offer presented).  

I prefer a hands-on and highly-communicative approach with clients, and encourage an open dialogue between us throughout the process of helping you purchase your property.

I bring a ton of energy to your home search, and will be there to help you every step of the way: from finding your ideal home, reviewing & understanding disclosures, advising on best terms, managing your escrow timeline, and--the most fun part--personally delivering the keys to your new home!  

selling your home

If you are considering selling your home, our first step will be to schedule an initial consultation when I can walk through your property with you and discuss your goals as they relate to selling.  By listening to you and learning more about your vision for your property holdings, I will be able to put together the most effective strategy for getting the highest return on your real estate investment.

My approach to marketing your property is extremely thorough and utilizes technology tools that ensure ongoing marketing efforts are targeting the most effective demographic of likely buyers for your property--something that is especially important with the majority of buyers seeing properties for the first time online. 

I will personally manage all pre-listing and early marketing prep, write & design all marketing material (where my background in publishing comes in handy) with the help of my firm's award-winning team; list your property on MLS; and oversee ongoing marketing until your property is sold. Working tirelessly for you, I will manage your escrow process once a winning offer has been secured, and ensure a satisfying close that allows you to successfully move onto life's next chapter.
