Kentfield Estates: Private Sales for a Community That Prefers It That Way

Kentfield is an unincorporated Marin County enclave between Greenbrae and Ross – tree-lined streets, proximity to the College of Marin, and homes that have been in families for 30-50 years. Most Kentfield properties don’t go through the MLS – they transfer through estate sales, trust distributions, and quiet direct transactions. If you’re an executor or trustee handling a Kentfield estate, or a longtime owner who wants to sell without public exposure, we buy Kentfield homes off-market, in cash, with total discretion.

LOCAL KNOWLEDGE

Kentfield’s Unincorporated Marin Status and Fire-Risk Open Space: What Sellers Should Know

Kentfield is unincorporated Marin County – code enforcement and permits run through the county, not a city. Some properties are adjacent to fire-risk open space. The Greenbrae-Kentfield area has strong buyer demand driven by Marin school districts and proximity to US-101, which supports our offer pricing.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

The Kentfield property is in a family trust being settled. Can you provide a written offer for the trustee and beneficiaries? +
Yes – a written offer the trustee can circulate to all parties and share with counsel before any commitment.
Can the transaction be kept fully private – no signs, no listing? +
Completely. We buy direct, with no MLS involvement. The sale appears only in Marin County transfer records after close.
The home is older and needs significant updating. Will that dramatically reduce your offer? +
Kentfield’s location and land value are strong. Cosmetic condition affects our offer but the location premium doesn’t disappear because the kitchen is original.
Is there a difference between buying in Kentfield vs. incorporated Marin cities like San Rafael? +
The unincorporated status means county code rather than city code for permits – no material impact on the transaction itself.
How fast can I sell my house in Kentfield? +
We can close in as little as 7 days in Kentfield. Once you accept our written cash offer, we handle all title and paperwork – you pick the closing date.
Do I need to make repairs before selling? +
No. We buy as-is – any condition, any age, any amount of deferred maintenance. Nothing needs to be fixed, cleaned, or updated before we close.
Are there commissions or fees? +
None. No agent commissions, no fees charged to you, no deductions at close. The number in your offer is what you receive.
