The final step in selling a home is often considered the worst part--the packing and moving of all your possessions. The secret to a smooth move lies in advance planning. Arrange for the movers well in advance. Get estimates from several moving companies, and ask what their quotes include, what kind of services (and care) they provide, and which aspects of the move they will not handle. For example, many companies will not be responsible for removing light fixtures or other attached items.

Insure your possessions adequately during the move. Most moving firms can arrange insurance for you. You may be able to extend your homeowner's coverage to insure the contents of your home during the move. Be sure to get the additional cost and conditions of this agreement in writing.

If you prefer to do some packing yourself, it is better to confine your packing to the unbreakable items. Most companies recommend that you let them handle all the packing for an extra charge. They will not cover items against damage or breakage that they have not packed.

29 years after selecting real estate as his career, Jeff has earned a reputation as one of Marin's most respected Realtors, by not only his clients, but also his peers. Jeff began his career in 1978, and just 3 years later obtained his California Broker's License. Since the early 1980's Jeff has regularly been among Marin County's Top Producing Agents. In July 2007 Jeff joined his present company, Bradley Real Estate, as a Broker Associate. "My reasons for joining Bradley are simple. They are the North Bay's fastest growing and most innovative residential brokerage. I am impressed that they consistently provide their agents with the best tools and support to position their clients for success." With his former company, Jeff had been his office's #1 producing agent 3 out of the past 4 years (2006, 2005 and 2003)! Jeff was also recognized as a member of his former company's Elite Top Ten, an award bestowed on the company's top ten producers each year. On at least 4 different occasions Jeff has been asked to speak at the Marin Association of Realtors General Membership Meetings to share his secrets of success. With his level of experience, Jeff views himself as a consultant and advocate for his clients, and not so much a sales person. "With 29 years under my belt, I know I can provide people with a lot of information and give them unparalleled service. I treat my clients with the respect and consideration I would want to be treated with." A bit of a fitness buff, Jeff is a former marathon runner turned cyclist. He completed 8 marathons dating back to the late 1970's and early 1980's including Boston (1980). In 2003 through 2006 Jeff completed 5 century rides (100 miles or greater), including the grueling Death Ride (Tour of the California Alps) in July of 2006. Jeff resides in Novato, CA with his wife Christine (Also a Realtor), and their five children, Grace (5), Kathryn (7), Kenny (16), Ryan (19), and Holly (20).
