Celebrating 10 years: fixed fees, full service, fast responses

Property search · The Consumer Protection Brokerage

Every listing shows your estimated rebate.

The green number on each home is what could come back to you: the buyer-broker fee (typically 2 to 3%) minus our flat $9,750. No other search shows you this, because no other brokerage gives it back.

Beautifully reimagined in San Rafael's Bret Harte neighborhood, this once-modest cottage has been transformed for modern living. This beautiful home has 4 bedrooms and 3 baths, and features new windows, skylights, recessed lighting, an upgraded electrical panel, two additional bathrooms, a dedicated laundry area and a large new composite deck are all part of the transformation. All systems are new - all systems GO! Step inside and wide-plank hardwood floors lead into a bright, open living, dining and kitchen space filled with natural light from front to back. A gas fireplace anchors the living room, while the chef-inspired kitchen takes center stage with abundant custom cabinetry, sleek quartz countertops and premium stainless steel appliances. Thoughtfully designed for both cooking and gathering, the kitchen flows naturally to the dining area and opens directly to the expansive deck and backyard. Three bedrooms and two baths are located in one wing of the home, creating a natural separation from the newly added primary en suite at the rear. Spacious and private, the primary suite opens through sliding doors to the deck, extending the living space outdoors. The backyard offers flexibility for both gardeners and those who prefer something easy to maintain. Enjoy it as it is, or create a more expansive garden, entertaining space or outdoor retreat - there is room here to make it your own. Single-level living, generous space, quality craftsmanship and a wonderful indoor-outdoor connection come together in a convenient San Rafael location, just minutes from downtown with easy access to Highway 101. What began as a beloved cottage is now a beautifully expanded home ready for its next chapter.
