Real Estate Agents in San Rafael, CA

“I sent one text message to Phoebe, and she replied within a few minutes, and by morning she had called me, she had already thought of ideas / solutions for my special case scenario. I’m sure we can all agree that finding anyone that takes their job seriously and with pride, are a rare find these days, and I can strongly say, Phoebe is not only that special find but has a very strong work ethic and I will always reach out to her for all my future needs.”

“If you’ve been considering the idea of selling your house, there’s a first step I would recommend: contact real estate agent Karen Strain at Front Porch Realty. You’ll want a trusted professional leading you on the journey.

When my husband and I began our quest to find the “perfect” home to replace our 2-story home with a pool, we asked Karen to be our agent. Our children are adults with families and homes of their own, and we were ready for the next chapter in our life. We had a long, specific list of desired “wants” for the new house. At times, it seemed as if the new dream home had eluded us. But Karen was always there, just a phone call or text away. Then, out of the blue, the “perfect” home suddenly appeared. Great! – we thought, except that we wanted to sell our current house first. Huge challenge. Or so we thought.

Karen and her team at Front Porch Realty jumped in and guided us each step of the way – from preparing our house for sale (including sending a professional organizer who came with packing supplies and a great eye to “edit” furniture, pack personal items, and move us forward!) – to navigating us through the Inspection Reports process. Building? Roof? Pool? Sewer Lateral? Karen’s extensive knowledge and experience made the entire process comfortable and familiar. Her frank and realistic explanations left us informed and with no “surprises.” Her resources are unparalleled. Concerns and questions? Karen is a great communicator. Phone calls, texts, and emails were always answered promptly.

We followed Karen’s sound advice and informed suggestions for submitting our offer for the home we wanted to purchase – and our offer was accepted. We again followed her advice and very beneficial suggestions for preparing our house for sale – and it sold for over the asking price. We feel so blessed that we had Karen guiding us on this very important journey in our life.

Karen epitomizes the words “trust” and “integrity.” It was a pleasure working with her on the purchase and sale of our homes. If you’re considering selling or purchasing your home, do something very beneficial for yourself: call Karen Strain first.

“Right after meeting with Cari Gennarelli we knew we had scored a great realtor. Not only was it apparent that she knew the Marin area like the back of her hand but also her intelligence and honesty shone through. Most importantly, you could tell she truly cared for her clients.
We got to work with her right away and she never stopped impressing us. She proved herself to be patient, personable, and super sharp. She had an eagle eye and could spot even the smallest of details at every place we checked out. Her no-nonsense, honest approach to house hunting was so helpful in keeping us focused on the goals we had established at the beginning.
She truly made a nerve racking, often deflating, process an enjoyable one.
Shy of three months, in a very competitive market, she helped us get the house of our dreams.
We couldn’t be more happy and grateful with our choice and have recommended her to friends and family members alike.”
