Anastasia Sheldon – Marin Modern Real Estate

When we decided to relocate from Folsom to Marin, we were fortunate to connect with Anastasia. She is an experienced professional who is very knowledgeable about real estate in Marin County. To find a one level home was particularly challenging. She understood our need
and was also helpful in connecting us for financing.
Anastasia went above and beyond in helping us finalize the sale of our house in Folsom. We have a friend in real estate and know we can get help with all questions concerning our home.

I am so thankful! Thanks to Anastasia, my kids and I now have a home. The kids have good public schools to go to, and we live in a small and delightful town. Anastasia helped me find the perfect house for us. Without her unwavering support, I probably would not have dared to buy a house that needed so much work. Anastasia helped me find great contractors who transformed an old and dirty house into an inviting and cozy home. Almost a year after my purchase, I can still ask Anastasia questions about the neighborhood, where to find things, etc. She is a wonderful Real Estate agent, but also a wonderful person. I recommend her highly to anyone who is looking for the home of their dreams! Anastasia will make it happen.

When my family and I decided to relocate from Massachusetts to the Bay Area, we knew we would need a top notch realtor to help us find a house in this competitive and volatile market. A friend recommended Anastasia Sheldon, and we consider ourselves so lucky to have found her!
We weren’t sure which community would be best for our family. Extremely familiar with the region, she patiently explained the nuances of different towns/​school districts. She drove us from house to house, showing us a wide variety of options in our price range. She complemented this with online information that we could access ourselves.
When it came time to put in actual offers, Anastasia shifted into high gear. She understands the psychology of buying/​selling a house, and astutely uses it to her clients’ advantage. In our case, she demonstrated great vision of the potential of each house she showed us. She wound up helping us secure a wonderful home, in the exact community we wanted to be in, at a price we could afford. On top of that, she provided excellent recommendations for other professionals we needed such as a mortgage broker, insurance expert, etc.
Anastasia is positive, knowledgeable and calm under pressure. Don’t hesitate to call her. She gets 5 stars!

In this competitive real estate market, it is critical to have a great agent to represent your needs. I cannot recommend Anastasia enough. The trust-​building moment for me was when she sat in the bay window of a home we were visiting and she said: «If you want this house I can get it for you. This is what we need to do…» She spelled it out, and within a week we had a compelling offer submitted that was accepted over three other nearly identical offers. It was Anastasia’s professional extra touches that made the difference.
In selecting an agent I would say the top qualities are 1) knowledge of the area and the process, experience and reputation, 2) ability to build a great team, and 3) responsiveness to your needs. Anastasia has the reputation – any time I spoke of her it opened doors. She has extensive contacts and trusted teammates from the escrow officer, mortgage broker to general contractors for inspections and insurance etc. Finally Anastasia learned my style and budget very quickly, so that when the opportunity appeared we were ready to fight for it. We were able to find and buy my home in under a month. I have no regrets.

Anastasia was simply fantastic! We purchased a new home in Marin a few months ago, and found Marin Modern Realtors through online property searches. After the initial meeting with Anastasia we knew she was the right person to guide us through the home buying process and help us on our search!
Over a period of several months, Anastasia helped point us in the right direction and evaluate neighborhoods and was always honest and thorough with each and every property we visited. She never added any pressure to the home purchasing experience and made it fun and a pragmatic process. Once we finally found «the place» she was able to move incredibly fast to ensure our offer stood out from the rest and was first in line. Her attention to detail and critical thinking during the inspection process ensured we asked all the right questions and were 100% satisfied with our final decision. Not to mention, she was responsive and a great communicator during the entire time we worked together.
I’ll be sure to reach out to her and recommend her to others in the future — she made what is often a complicated and painful process a delightful and engaging experience!

I had a wonderful home buying experience in Marin this year with ace realtor, Anastasia Sheldon! We relocated from Sacramento to the Bay Area. Anastasia was crucial in giving us excellent advice and guidance for real estate in this amazing area but incredibly tight market! We, in fact, went in on a first house and she encouraged us to get thoroughly inspect the house. When we found some issues that we didn’t like, she entirely understood where we came from and agreed with us pulling out of the house.
A couple months and many, many houses seen later, she encouraged us to «put in a full court press» on what she thought was the perfect house for us. She was right! We got our offer accepted before the first open house and now, 6 months later, couldn’t be happier in our home! Thanks Anastasia!

Anastasia was recommended to us by a friend and we couldn’t thank them enough!
This was our first foray into homeownership and questions… did we have questions! Anastasia answered them all (quickly and with patience) ! She is knowledgeable about the market, about the neighborhoods, well about pretty much everything. She listened to our needs and concerns and was thoughtful and honest in her suggestions and because of her expertise and skill we are now «happily ever after» in our first home. If you are serious about buying a home, she will make it happen and as an added bonus she is delightful which greatly relieves the stress of home buying.

Anastasia is amazing. She found us the most perfect home which is no small feat in the highly competitive Marin market we are facing right now. The home we finally decided on and purchased was on the market for 1 day. Just 1 day. She was full of thoughtful advice and always kept our best interests in mind, even if it meant more work for her. She knows so much about the entire process of buying a home from making a competitive offer to what inspections are necessary to how to close with ease. She really thought about our needs as a family and carefully selected homes that would work for us. I will spare you all the details, but we made Anastasia work very hard and she did so with pleasure. When we are ready for our next house I will gladly ask for Anastasia to represent us. Call her, it will be the first step to finding your perfect home.

Anastasia really knows Marin! We were first-​time home buyers, only having lived here in Marin for 4 years. Anastasia worked within our budget, suggesting areas we had not previously considered. She took the time to let us know about schools and communities in the different areas of Marin. She found us a house we loved, within our budget and before our twins arrived, a serious accomplishment! Throughout the process she was forward and honest with us about the market and our expectations. She responded promptly to my numerous emails and texts, before and after close. Her professionalism really showed when she dealt with a tricky, consistent problem between the seller and the city permit office, she «stuck with it» and made sure the issue was resolved, going above and beyond while I stayed at home pregnant with twins. We are happy to recommend Anastasia to anyone looking for a house in Marin.

Anastasia helped us find a better house than I ever thought we could afford in Fairfax. She was straight forward and knowledgeable and advised us how to make our offer more competitive without going over our budget.

I’ve been a mortgage broker in Marin County for over 20 years and have been involved in thousands of real estate purchase transactions.
Recently, I had a client referred to me for financing who had already chosen a Realtor (Anastasia). I had not worked with Anastasia before, and that always creates some trepidation at the start of a transaction. It can be difficult to work very closely with someone you don’t know well — when it’s on something as important as helping someone buy their first home.
On top of our client being a first time home buyer who needed a fair amount of hand-​holding (as all first time buyers do), we had significant problems with the appraisal on the home the buyer had selected.
To my surprise and delight, Anastasia was a superstar in our transaction. She patiently absorbed problems as they came up (and they always do), saw through them clearly, and helped create positive results. Her focus in the transaction always remained 100% on what was best for our mutual client — even when it appeared that the sale might fall apart.
Since that transaction we have been involved in many more, and I continue to be impressed by Anastasia. If you are looking for an agent, either to list your home, or to help you with a purchase (or both) I heartily recommend Anastasia Sheldon.

My wife and I were first-​time homebuyers in the toughest market there is. And to be honest, we were on the fence whether to even by or just continue renting. We appreciated Anastasia’s honesty and genuineness… it didn’t feel like she was trying to force us into the decision to buy a home just to get the commission.
We also really appreciated her prompt communications. She was very good at responding through email, phone, or texts (and we used all of the above, at all hours).
Overall extremely happy with the home, neighborhood, and school district she helped us make the decision to buy in (Marinwood).

Anastasia helped us buy a house in San Anselmo. We found her to be very intelligent, knowledgeable, and hard working. Most importantly, we were struck by her honest feedback throughout the process. She seemed very interested in finding the right house for us, even if that meant a longer process for her.
