First Time Buyers >A Realistic Evaluation
Your real estate agent's job is to find you the perfect home, in the right location, with all the amenities you want--and at the right price. It is the home inspector's job to find any skeletons in the closet -- or in the plumbing, wiring, roof, basement and beams.
The inspector won't pass or fail a home based on what he or she finds, but will go over the house thoroughly to help you understand the condition of the property you are buying. If there are any serious problems, your inspector can give you a realistic idea of how much the repairs will cost. If there are material defects that were not reflected in the asking price, you will have the opportunity to re-open negotiations with your sellers before you commit to the purchase. A good inspector will also explain the operation of the basic emergency systems such as the main water cut off valve and the circuit breaker box, and will go over items that will need routine maintenance.
If you are buying a house, we recommend that you make a professional home inspector part of your home purchase team.

29 years after selecting real estate as his career, Jeff has earned a reputation as one of Marin's most respected Realtors, by not only his clients, but also his peers. Jeff began his career in 1978, and just 3 years later obtained his California Broker's License. Since the early 1980's Jeff has regularly been among Marin County's Top Producing Agents. In July 2007 Jeff joined his present company, Bradley Real Estate, as a Broker Associate. "My reasons for joining Bradley are simple. They are the North Bay's fastest growing and most innovative residential brokerage. I am impressed that they consistently provide their agents with the best tools and support to position their clients for success." With his former company, Jeff had been his office's #1 producing agent 3 out of the past 4 years (2006, 2005 and 2003)! Jeff was also recognized as a member of his former company's Elite Top Ten, an award bestowed on the company's top ten producers each year. On at least 4 different occasions Jeff has been asked to speak at the Marin Association of Realtors General Membership Meetings to share his secrets of success. With his level of experience, Jeff views himself as a consultant and advocate for his clients, and not so much a sales person. "With 29 years under my belt, I know I can provide people with a lot of information and give them unparalleled service. I treat my clients with the respect and consideration I would want to be treated with."
A bit of a fitness buff, Jeff is a former marathon runner turned cyclist. He completed 8 marathons dating back to the late 1970's and early 1980's including Boston (1980). In 2003 through 2006 Jeff completed 5 century rides (100 miles or greater), including the grueling Death Ride (Tour of the California Alps) in July of 2006.
Jeff resides in Novato, CA with his wife Christine (Also a Realtor), and their five children, Grace (5), Kathryn (7), Kenny (16), Ryan (19), and Holly (20).
