Mount Tamalpais

Kentfield and Kent Woodlands are communities of formal, elegant homes on largev lots. Part of Kentfield closest to the Corte Madera Creek is on level land, while Kent Woodlands climbs the slope of Mt. Tamalpais to Phoenix Lake. Homes on the hill may have sweeping views of the bay and Mt. Tamalpais.

Sharing the flatlands is the main campus of the College of Marin. Nearby are small shopping areas with an excellent supermarket and hardware store. Like its neighbors, Larkspur and Ross, it has excellent schools. Kentfield has the highest rainfall in the county, because Mt. Tamalpais wrings the water out of the clouds as they come in from the ocean. This gives Kentfield lush vegetation and rushing winter streams.

Favorite Places

Selling Your Home >Effective Marketing If your home has been listed for a number of weeks and you have only seen it featured in one newspaper ad, you may start feeling anxious. Although your house is being shown regularly, you wonder if the agent is doing enough. Home sellers often equate effective marketing with classified ads in the weekend Sunday real estate section. However, the most skilled real estate agents know the market well enough to be aware of where the prospective buyers for your home are likely to come from. They will look for the best ways to reach those people through direct mail, telephone contact or specialized ads in neighborhood publications. They will also work to get their colleagues excited about your house, especially agents who have many listings or sales in your neighborhood. And remember--it is important for you and your agent to communicate often so you will know exactly what is being done to sell your home.
