Built around an iconic A-frame. 🌲

200 Tamalpais is tucked into the Fairfax hills yet minutes from downtown, a thoughtful redesign centered on a striking A-frame element, where soaring ceilings and industrial-modern touches meet warm, natural surroundings. The open main level flows straight out to a sunny deck with hillside views, while a private hot tub and turf patio set the scene below. A spiral staircase adds unexpected character, and a remodeled ADU with its own entrance brings flexibility for guests or work.

Trails out the door, town just down the road, and all the ease of Marin living.

The Bay Area market is moving — and the story on both sides of the bridge is pretty simple: not enough homes, plenty of buyers.

San Francisco is on a heater. Median price jumped 24.6% year-over-year to $2.05M, homes are averaging less than three weeks on market, and more than 85% are selling over asking. Even crazier: the homes selling over list are averaging 32% over asking — a new Bay Area record.

And Marin? Quietly having a really strong month. Median price is up 2.8% to $1.72M, price per square foot is up 4.3%, and closed sales jumped 15.8% — the biggest increase of any Bay Area county.

Here’s where it gets interesting: SF inventory is down more than 30%. Buyers still want houses. Marin has houses. We’re seeing more of that demand cross the bridge.

Luxury is moving too, with $3.5M+ sales up more than 24% across the region.

Low inventory. Tons of demand.

If you’re thinking about making a move in SF or Marin, hit us up. Let’s game it out. 📩

Selling isn’t about listing a home. It’s about finding the one person who’s meant to own it next, and making sure they actually see it. 🌍

That person might be a neighbor two streets over or a family relocating from another continent. Our job is to make sure your home reaches all of them, then to read the market well enough to know which offer is truly the right one. That’s where worldwide exposure meets people who actually know these neighborhoods, from Marin to San Francisco.

When it’s time to sell, that combination is everything. Let’s talk about what it could do for your home.

A standout in the heart of Strawberry, and one we were proud to represent. 🔥 82 S Knoll is a 2017 mid-century modern with all the things buyers chase right now: a chef’s kitchen, NanaWall doors that open the great room to a flat, usable yard, and that effortless indoor-outdoor flow. Turnkey, design-forward, and steps from Strawberry Village.

Positioned right, this one drew a ton of attention out of the gate and sold fast, closing at $2,950,000. That’s what happens when the right home meets the right strategy.

Big congrats to everyone involved, and thank you for trusting The Golden Gate Group | Top Real Estate Team in Marin + SF to get it done.

She is the powerhouse behind the scenes, the organization and structure that the entire The Golden Gate Group | Top Real Estate Team in Marin + SF runs on. Every transaction, every deadline, every moving piece flows through her systems, and it’s her process that keeps us sharp, fast, and buttoned-up from contract to close. 

Born and raised in Marin County, she brings 10 years of real estate operations experience and an obsession with efficiency that clients feel on every deal, even when they never see the work behind it. Simply put: we could not do this without her. 🤍

Every great team has a secret weapon. Kristen is ours.

If you’ve been wondering whether the market cooled off this summer… it didn’t. 🌉

San Francisco is having a moment. Prices hit a new record this quarter, most homes are selling well over asking, and the ones that are priced right are gone in about two weeks. There’s genuinely half the inventory there was a year ago, so when something good hits the market, buyers are moving fast.

Marin’s telling the same story. Values keep climbing, homes are still getting real competition, and sellers are seeing strong results across the board.

The short version: if you’re a buyer, come ready. If you’re a seller, this is about as good as it gets. Either way, we’re happy to talk through what it means for your specific situation, just send me a message. 🔑

Ask Seth about a property and he won’t just pull comps; instead, he’ll tell you what the renovation actually costs, who to call to do it, and whether the numbers will actually pencil out.

Before pursuing real estate full-time, Seth led corporate social responsibility programs at Autodesk and LinkedIn while building his own real estate portfolio on the side. Along the way he’s called San Francisco and Berkeley home, ultimately returning to his roots in Marin to start a family. Honest, data-driven, and hands-on, he’ll dig into a hard problem rather than talk around it.

When Seth isn’t helping clients buy and sell homes, he’s serving as a board member and volunteer river guide with Environmental Traveling Companions Environmental Traveling Companions or out exploring local singletrack with the Marin Academy Mountain Biking team. 🌲
