THE NARODNY TEAM

We have sold over 400 homes in the last ten years.  Imagine how much experience we bring to the table!
     
Having a professional team working for you offers you some unique  advantages. One of us is almost always available to you and to  prospective buyers and what that means is faster, more effective  service.
     
In addition to the two of us, we have a full time licensed  assistant - Vicki - who makes sure nothing slips through the cracks and  insures that the transaction will run smoothly. In addition, we have a  full time buyers agent to assist and another assistant.
     
Individually, we bring different strengths to the table. Peter has  the tenacity to stay on the phone until he sells your home, and he  won't let a day go by without calling and staying on that goal. Karin  has the intuition, the depth of experience and a good eye at getting  your home ready to sell, and she is excellent at marketing and  networking with the other agents and past clients.

We look forward to working with you!
     
These are the most common questions asked of us:
     
How long have you been selling real estate in Marin County?
Karin has been selling for 33 years and Peter for 25 years with a  combined experience of 58 years in selling only Marin real estate.
     
Do you have an area of primary focus?
We intentionally chose to work in the centrally located Greenbrae  office because we have found over the years that this allows us to  market properties and draw buyers from all over Marin, which is what  sellers want. We sell homes from Sausalito to Novato and find our  market strategies effective in all of these areas. In addition, the  Greenbrae office of Frank Howard Allen has been the top producing  office of all real estate offices in Marin for several years.
     
Do you work more as a listing or a buyer's agent?
85% of the homes we sell are our listings. We do work with  qualified buyers since we get numerous calls from buyers and our  sellers are often looking to relocate within the county. We also have  an experienced buyer's agent on our team who is available for showing  our listings and allows us to spend more time marketing our listings.

How many homes do you sell a year? We sold 22 homes in 2007. The average agent in Marin sells 10 homes a year.

What is your list to sales ratio?
Our average is 98.9%. This means we sell our listings at an  average of 98.9% of list price. The average agent sells at 96% of sales  price. On a million dollar sales price that would mean the seller would  receive $29,000 more by working with us!

We believe every property is unique in Marin. That is one of the  reasons we enjoy selling real estate here so much. We will customize  our marketing program to match the exact market for your home, whether  it is a view property, waterfront, luxury home or fixer-upper. We have  sold them all successfully, and we enjoy the challenge of a new  opportunity.

Our Commitment to You: 

• We will be straightforward and honest with you about our pricing  and marketing strategies, our communication, and any feedback we get on  your home. If your home doesn't sell, we will tell you why and what we  can do about it. We exercise the highest degree of integrity and  professionalism in every aspect of the process and will do everything  we can to insure a smooth transition into your new home.
 
• We will assist you in every step of the complicated escrow  process, finding and coordinating suitable lenders, escrow officers,  inspectors and other agents. With 58 years of experience in local real  estate practices and strong relationships with others in the real  estate community, our breadth of experience is invaluable in this  process. We have learned to understand that finding the buyer is only  the beginning and that closing the escrow is the ultimate goal.
 
• We will assist you in any way possible in preparing the home  for sale, staging it, or getting any corrective work that needs to be  done. We have a team of professionals who can get the job done quickly.
 
• We will help you purchase another home and coordinate the  closing with your present home. If you are moving out of the county or  state, we will refer you to another top professional agent who will  help you find your new home.
 
• We are very serious about this commitment to you and the job  we do for you as professionals. To help us become the best possible  agents in the business, we also have a personal coach whose role is to  make us accountable to you for the promises we make and insure that we  get the job done. He often says, "If your seller were following you  around all day, would he believe you were getting the job done?"

Our  objective is to sell your home using every resource we know available  along with our aggressive and persistent marketing strategies. We have  set very high standards for ourselves and that means we expect  excellent results for our clients. When you hire us our only advice to  you will be - Start smiling & start packing!
