Abby's Real Estate News - October 2015
Fall is here - turn your clocks back on 11/1!!
 
Why I love my work...
 

I could not be more delighted to highlight my amazing and extraordinary licensed assistant John Hendricks.   Having John as an integral part of my team is truly paramount to what I love about my work!   He is kind, thoughtful, calm and consistently working alongside of me to serve my clients and colleagues in the best way possible....always. 

With just 28 years on this Earth, his communication skills are unusually keen, his approach with me, clients and Real Estate Community is both gentle and efficient, and he is ready to jump in each day to the whirlwind world of Real Estate.  His intuitive nature coupled with ability to run with any ideas, suggestions or tasks sets John in a league of his own.  

Playing in two bands, reading voraciously, exercising daily, maintaining close relations with family and friends.....his sense of balance reminds me to strive for harmony in my life as well. 

What's more, though boundaries are clear.....I do seem to get away with querying John about his weekend travails... and latest dating experiences.  In that way, John is a friend, a Beloved Son, and an all around gem.  I could not be more proud to have John as part of the team!

Things I love in... Marin, Sonoma, and Beyond! 
 

As many of you know, Bill and I purchased a home in Bodega Bay about 10 years ago...on a whim!  It was the least expensive home in South Harbour with views of the lush Golf Course,  Doran Beach, Bodega Head and the sparkling ocean waters!  Graced with the original shake roof, orange shag carpet and lots of mirrors....we have slowly transformed it into our little beach house get-a-way. It is only about 1200 sq ft and truly a one bedroom abode....We affectionately call it our Bird-House!

Over the years we have met some Friends that we love and adore, entertain a bit, invite close friends and our Sons to love and enjoy it...yet mostly we cherish this sweet place as our way to reconnect with each other and bask in some quiet serenity.  

We are coming up on our 34th Wedding Anniversary...and close to 40 years together....Thank you Bodega Bay for being a place to escape to and rejuvenate!!

-Abby

Abby's Featured Colleague of the Month!
 
Staging and Styling with 123 Home Staging
123 Home is a full service staging company.  Our tasteful styling helps set the atmosphere to captivate todays buyer and expedite the sale of the home.  Our expertise with reading the property along with our design skills will undoubtedly maximize a homes appeal. We have both been staging for many years now and joined forces over 10 years ago. It's been a fantastic partnership, each of us brings something a little different to the table. We enjoy collaborating, and are always surprised to see the end result.  We have been so fortunate to work with so many of  Marin's talented real estate agents,and their clients. We not only feel that design is a big part of staging but also being empathetic  and understanding  at a very emotional time in peoples life. Staging is not as glamourous as it may seem but at the end of the day we can truly vouch that we love our job!
