It was a no-brainer for me to list our townhouse with her when it came. The process with Phillipa was impressive from the get-go. We knew we had minor detail work to do in the house before listing it. Phillipa was very honest about what must be done (nothing major - paint, etc.). Once we were ready to list, we got a complete timeline of what to expect, when to expect it with dates, etc. Phillipa did all of the arranging of inspections, cleaning, staging, and every step needed for a successful listing. When it was all said and done, we stayed on schedule to the exact day/date and went live on the MLS as expected from the get-go. I think any home seller wants to sell their property quickly. We went live around December 15th. My concern was the holidays, but Phillipa told me not to worry. We were in escrow seven days later. The house was staged nicely - it looked great, even on rainy/darker days. Bottom line - I would recommend Phillipa to anyone looking for a great communicator and project manager.

Phillipa’s attention to detail made it much easier to approach and proceed through selling of our condominium located in Villa Marin Retirement Community located in Marin County. She is a woman who does not become ruffled by obstacles when representing a property. Her charming personality prevailed throughout the property's listing, advertising, and selling. Now that she has sold the condominium, we consider Phillipa our friend. We highly recommend her and award her all five stars for her performance.

She was professional and pleasant to deal with through the whole process. I appreciated that she arranged for last minute repairs, and was photographing them on the day escrow closed, to make sure that it closed on schedule.

The first thing she recommended to help sell my place was to have it painted, and the difference was amazing. She had it staged, and the company did a superb job. Then she advertised the condo in the Tiburon newspaper with a picture of the living room looking out on the Villa Main promenade. It was sold within two days to a buyer from Tiburon at a reasonable price for a sale during the pandemic. Considering the amount of time it normally takes, two days had to be a record, thanks to Phillipa's due diligence, organization, and knowing what had to be done to prepare the condo for sale. I highly recommend Phillipa. She is a dedicated professional, very organized, and knows exactly how to prepare a home for sale. She followed through on every detail and worked well with the administration of Villa Marin. All her talents could be superbly applied to any real estate she is responsible for selling.

We would meet with her in San Francisco on the weekends and look at various properties for sale. She would wait patiently for us to arrive even after long traffic jams that tied up the Interstate 80 corridor. We continued to work with her after we decided to rent a place in Sausalito initially. Phillipa would still meet with us on weekends and show us properties in the city and Marin County as we still hadn't made up our minds about which part of the Bay to purchase a home. She continued to show us homes for the next 2 years patiently. We could not decide which side of the Golden Gate we were going to live on. Phillipa provided us with great insight into how the housing market worked in the Bay Area as she continued to show us more homes and wrote up several different bids. She was incredibly helpful in helping us understand the bidding process in the low-inventory buyer's market in Marin County. Despite many challenges we have encountered along this unpredictable journey, she helped us secure our dream home in Mill Valley. I still remember her little catchphrase which she used during times of uncertainty "Buying a house in Marin County is not for the faint of heart". Her incredibly vast knowledge of the real estate market, sense of humor, dedication to her work, integrity, patience, and understanding are what helped us find the exact home that we had been looking for. She also helped another friend of ours find his dream home in the city of San Francisco. She is truly the most amazing Real Estate Agent that is out there.
