They are Marin and Sonoma county natives with over 55+ years of combined experience in the business. Their longevity in the local market, down-to-earth style and winning attitude generates trust with the people they serve. It all started in 2014 after they closed a transaction

Happy National Dog Day! 🐾🐶 Let’s paw-ty!

Today is all about the four-legged friends who fill our homes with love, laughter, and a little—or a lot—of extra fur.

Whether you’re exploring a favorite trail, stopping for a pup cup at Peet’s (Sonny’s favorite!), or enjoying some extra cuddles at home (Cookie’s favorite!), we hope you make the day special for your loyal companion!

Sonny and Cookie, KP’s pups, wish all their fellow dogs a fantastic National Dog Day!

We’d love to hear what you’re doing with your pup today! 🐾

The second busy real estate season nobody talks about? Fall.

Spring gets most of the attention, but after Labor Day, buyers are back. Kids are in school, routines are settling in, and many buyers are focused on finding a home and getting settled before the holidays.

Plus, fall is one of the most beautiful times to showcase a Marin home — warm weather, golden light, and changing leaves.

For sellers, preparation is key. Thoughtful updates, great presentation, strategic pricing, and the right launch can make all the difference.

Fall timing → Thoughtful preparation → Strong opportunity.

Thinking about selling this fall? It’s not too late. Let’s talk about how we can get your home market-ready for Marin’s second selling season.

“Dirty Neutrals” Are Trending

Designers are moving away from stark whites and cool grays and leaning into warmer, earthier neutrals—mushroom, greige, sandy beige and natural wood tones.

Often called “dirty neutrals,” these layered tones bring warmth and depth while still feeling timeless and sophisticated. Paired with natural woods, matte stone and brushed metals, they create spaces that feel current without being overly trendy.

We’ve been embracing this look in our own projects. One of our go-to cabinet colors is Sherwin-Williams Accessible Beige, paired with White Dove (BM) on the walls for a soft, warm white. They work beautifully together.

And don’t worry about mixing paint brands. If you prefer to stick with one, your paint store can color-match the other brand’s shade.

Locally, we love Marin Color Service in San Rafael. They even have a color specialist available during limited weekday hours. Bring in a photo of your space—or your inspiration—and they can help you pull the whole palette together.

Warm, timeless and easy to live with—that’s a trend we can get behind.
