Buy before you sell in our home county, the market we know street by street.
Do you lend in Marin County?
Yes, we lend across Marin County, and it is where most of our transactions come from. Our office is in Corte Madera.
Marin is low inventory, fast paced, and long-held equity. That is the exact combination a bridge loan was designed for.
Marin is a market where the right house appears rarely and leaves quickly. That combination is what makes a sale contingency so costly here: by the time you have sold, the house you wanted is gone.
It is also a market with substantial equity locked into long-held homes, which is exactly what a bridge loan is designed to release.
Sellers here see multiple offers often enough that a contingency is a genuine reason to choose someone else. Removing it is usually the difference.
