Do you have a dog or cat that lives indoors with the family? A pet can pose a problem when your property is listed for sale. Even if prospective buyers have pets of their own that smell just like yours, they may be repelled by animal odors as they tour your home. If you have a pet odor problem, you should hire a professional to clean and deodorize the furniture and/or carpets that have been affected. Check the cat box frequently and keep the kitty litter fresh.

Some people have allergies to pet hair or irrational fears of certain animals, so it is a good idea to put dogs or cats outside or confine them to one area when your house is being shown. It is hard for buyers to appreciate your home through puffy, watery eyes or in between sneezes! Even if the house is exactly what they want, your chances of selling it will be diminished if the buyers are afraid of being attacked by Fido.

30 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. In 2007 Jeff was nominated and elected to serve a three year term on the Marin Association of Realtors Board of Directors. In addition to serving all of Marin County, Jeff works with clients in two other North Bay Counties, Sonoma and Napa. To better serve all of his clients, Jeff works from two of Pacific Union's offices, Novato to the north and Greenbrae to the south. Jeff began his career in 1978, and just 3 years later obtained his California Broker's License. Since the early 1980's Jeff has consistently been among Marin County's Top Producing Agents. "The Realty Alliance", an Association of the largest residential real estate brokers in America, have presented Jeff with their National Sales Award for the past ten consecutive years. This award is for "recognition of exceptional performance as one of the leading residential real estate sales professionals in America." On at least 4 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 30 years under my belt, I know I can be a great resource for buyers and sellers, 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), Oakland (1980, 2nd place overall), and the Pacific Sun-Marin County (1981, 1st place overall). Based on his performance at Oakland in 1980, Jeff qualified for the Olympic Trials. In recent years Jeff has completed 5 century rides (100 miles or greater), including the grueling Death Ride (Tour of the California Alps) in July of 2006. While training for a century ride at Lake Tahoe, Jeff was the leading fundraiser for his "Team In Training" cycling team, benefiting the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Jeff resides in Novato, CA with his wife Christine and their two daughters, Grace (6) and Kathryn (8). Jeff has three other children he dearly loves, Kenny (17), Ryan (20) and Holly (21).
