It was time to sell my family home on the Belvedere lagoon. I was lucky enough to be introduced to the Smith & Aylwin Real Estate Team (Bill, Ann and Joe). After my initial meeting with them I knew they were listening and respecting my thoughts. I was confident they were going to guide me and hold my hand through the selling process. Their professionalism, a very strong knowledge of selling in the Belvedere area, and connections with services to clean up the house, landscaping and staging they had at their fingertips. I could not have found a more capable team with Bill and Ann to sell my family home. I highly recommend them if you are selling or buying your home.

The Smith/Aylwin team has been so helpful sourcing, advising, and negotiating over the years. Most recently, their newest team member Joe did an outstanding job navigating a difficult time in the market to secure us a fair lease with a great tenant in an investment property.

Ann and Bill are an amazing team. Thanks to them, we landed in our dream home! We were slow and cautious with our approach, and we had many specifications. In a really challenging housing market, it seemed impossible for us to find a house that checked all of our (many) boxes. But Ann and Bill did it! They took into account all of our various needs and were thoughtful in terms of homes they showed us. They were also so easy to get in contact with anytime we had questions. Importantly, they were patient with us - we never felt rushed or like we were asking for too much. The combination of their expertise and connections within the community are seemingly unparalleled! As a plus, Bill and Ann are delightful people who were fun to get to know and spend time with during the process. I highly recommend them if you are looking to find your perfect home.

My husband and I cannot recommend Bill and Ann highly enough. They made our dream of buying a home in Marin come true. In an ever-evolving market, they offered constant assistance and realistic guidance. They were available at all times day and night. We had very specific criteria when we started our search, and Bill and Ann delivered. Their depth of knowledge and reputation within the Marin real estate community is unparalleled. I would highly recommend Bill and Ann to anyone looking to buy or sell in Marin. Thank you, Bill and Ann, for finding us our forever home!

We found our forever home and feel so grateful. None of this would have happened without the professional network and strategic value that Bill and Ann added in the process.Weve been looking for a home for nearly a year. Inventory is limited in Tiburon and whenever a home was listed publicly, it seemed to have a ton of immediate interest and therefore competition. We came close to sending an offer on several homes that all werent quite right. Having visited enough homes with us and making an effort to understand what was important to us, Bill and Ann told us about a home in the location we desired with nearly everything on our wish list. The house wasnt publicly listed and due to Bill and Ann's network, we were able to have a first look. There were a few others interested in the home and given Bill and Ann's experience and understanding of the market, they were able to help us make a winning offer.A In addition to helping us find our forever home, they helped us list and sell our current home in under a week. Everything from walking through our home to advise on how to stage and what to highlight, to how to market and if/when to go to the wider public market for listing. Most importantly, they nailed pricing our home. Because of the price we offered, we had overwhelming interest and an offer over asking within days. As mentioned earlier, we could not be more grateful.A Finally, weve referred 5 of our friends to Bill and Ann, resulting in successful sales and will continue to do so moving forward. We cant recommend them highly enough. Thank you Bill and Ann!
