Case Study: 2 Crecienta Drive, Sausalito, CA | Marin County
First‑time buyers A and B wanted a Marin County home that balanced a quick SF commute, room to grow, modern finishes, and postcard views—yet the sheer range of towns and price points left them overwhelmed. Wayne J. Ahlstrom distilled their wish‑list, evaluated two dozen listings, and ultimately landed them 2 Crecienta Drive in Sausalito—at a negotiated price.
How Wayne Added Value
-
As a lifelong Mill Valley + Santa Rosa resident, Wayne pre‑screened homes across Mill Valley, Tiburon, Larkspur, Corte Madera, and Sausalito, saving clients countless weekend tours.
-
Facilitated “needs vs. nice‑to‑haves” sessions so the couple stayed aligned and avoided decision fatigue.
-
Arranged on‑site contractor walk‑throughs during escrow and secured three competitive bids so buyers understood true post‑close costs.
-
Leveraged market comps and inspection findings to win roughly 15 % off list price, turning a dream home into a smart investment
-
Coordinated lender, title, and contractors so upgrades could start Day 1, turning the property into a future‑proof family home.
