Patricia Gross-Alain Pinel Realtors

We recently sold our home in Mill Valley and interviewed 3 realtors, Patricia was our choice because she was so organized. She answered her phone or returned our calls every time within minutes. The sale moved at an effortless quick pace. She was kind and gracious to all parties involved. I highly recommend her as a very experienced agent in Marin County.

We met Patricia at an open house and were looking for someone to help my husband and I buy our first home in the Novato area. Patricia was warm, patient, relatable, and made herself available to work with us. One thing I found really surprising about her is that she didn’t mind telling us what she did or didn’t like about a house we thought we might be interested in; she was very straightforward about the pros and cons about each house we looked at. She probably even talked us out of houses I feel other sales people could have persuaded us to be more interested in or even make offers on, wiped their hands of us and just ran with the commission.
A huge plus is that I really got the sense that she knows the market in Marin. We still get reports about the market from her that explain what is going on, and it is interesting even for someone like me because I can easily relate it to our own home purchase.
But the main reason why I am so impressed with Patricia is that she found us a spectacular house! She literally banged down the door of a short sale home the day it came on the market with us in mind. She called us immediately and told us to get our butts over to our future house, with three written offers in hand, one above, one below, and one at asking price… she hadn’t done this with any other house we looked at, but she was that confident that it was the house for us. This house was WAY far and above anything else we had seen in our price range, and to this day I KNOW we wouldn’t have gotten into this house if it hadn’t been for her initiative, foot work, and savvy. I feel so lucky and privileged to live in such a sound and inviting home on a wonderful family-​oriented street, and Patricia made the process pretty painless for us anxious first-​timers. Thanks Patricia!

We recently worked with Patricia to buy a home in Marin. Her patient and thorough coaching was invaluable to us as first-​time buyers. From the beginning, her aim was to understand our preferences and needs and to help us find the home that was a true reflection of OUR «vision». Throughout the process of viewing homes, she was always extremely responsive and available, but never pushy. In the end, it was Patricia who took the initiative to visit a broker’s open and found a home that was absolutely perfect for us. The offer, negotiation, inspection and closing process went incredibly smoothly. Before we knew it, we had the keys to our new home. We are incredibly grateful to Patricia for her patience and her proactive work on our behalf. She has earned our highest recommendation.
