Fixer Upper or Move-In Ready? This is a very important question for buyers. Some really want to make their mark on a property, or build sweat equity. Some don’t want to deal with the personal disruption, or out-of-pocket expense of a remodel.

Touring with a client in Mill Valley, we came across this bathroom.. Shall we say hippie/groovy? Only in Marin!!

So in case you haven't heard - Zephyr Real Estate is now Corcoran Global Living!
