"Above and Beyond"
Dear Ms. Gardner, In 2007 I worked with Shana Rohde-Lynch as the listing agent for a townhouse I owned in Corte Madera. I want you to know that I could not be happier with the job she did for me. She and her assistant Christina worked well with my tenant to minimize the period from the time my tenant moved out to the time until the unit was available to show. Shana also went above and beyond what I expected in dealing with her large group of people to get my place ready for sale. Shana was on target with the right listing price and I was very happy with the short period it took to make the sale and close escrow. I have used Shana in the past to buy a townhouse in San Rafael and also had a wonderful experience then. I will call Shana again the next time I want to buy property in Marin."
Robert Liss, Corte Madera & San Rafael

Buying Land and New Construction >Testing the Soil Are you building a custom-designed home on hand picked acreage? An essential step is testing the soil, which will determine the composition of the ground that must provide a stable foundation for your new home.
The soil could have a combination of various conditions and characteristics. It might be fine, silt-laden soil that collapses when it absorbs excessive water, or soil with a high clay content that sucks up water and then expands under a building, causing it to buckle or shift. Such soil is easy to excavate but unstable to build on. It must be replaced in compacted layers until it achieves suitable density to provide a stable foundation for the house.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, your land might sit on a layer of hard rock, which is wonderfully stable, but extremely hard to penetrate. Excavation costs will be higher if your builder has to bring in heavy equipment to dig out the rock.
A professional soil report will help your builder determine the best approach to engineering your site.
