Bringing Compassionate Strategy to
San Francisco & Marin Real Estate.
Meet Molli
Molli knows firsthand that a move is often part of a larger life transition. Having raised her son in Marin and later moved to San Francisco, she has seen her own priorities shift with family, lifestyle, and opportunity. That experience informs how she works with buyers, especially couples making consequential decisions together. She helps clients think beyond the immediate transaction to what will serve them well in the life they’re building.
Before she became an agent, Molli founded Small Blue Planet Events + Consulting, planning sustainable weddings and guiding couples through decisions that are often personal and complex. She brings that experience to real estate, earning trust from both agents and clients through her transparency and kindness.

Kind Words
We were able to purchase this property because of Molli’s hard work. Molli is patient, resourceful, deeply empathetic, calm, and always on your side. She isn’t pushy and profoundly cares that you are happy in your new home. She guides us to make smart decisions and looks at short- and long-term potentials. We felt extraordinarily lucky to have worked with her. Lastly, her brokerage is equally stellar and provided the support for Molli and us to thrive.

Molli is SO fabulous. Working with Molli felt like working with your big sister who just really has your back! She has great energy and I honestly think we got this house because she was willing to really both advocate for us and help us put together a winning offer. It felt SO good to have Molli on our team.

Molli is an exceptional realtor! We were doubtful that we would find a home that fit our specifications and budget but Molli found it. She helped us realize that it was possible but it was her tenacity and grace that ultimately helped us close the deal. Her ability to communicate and work with the seller’s realtor made all the difference in purchasing our home. Molli kept us well informed throughout the process and helped guide us and answer our questions. She also assuaged our fears and uncertainties and was always available to us. We owe a debt of gratitude to Molli and are very happy in our new home! We highly recommend Molli!

Molli is a dedicated, hard-working, loyal real estate broker. She worked with us for many months, providing solutions to the issues before us, answering our questions, and guiding us in our search for a property. She patiently took us through the buying process and succeeded in getting us a property that worked for us at a price we could afford to pay. Equally important, Molli brought her excellent contractor to help us assess properties we were considering. This was invaluable. She has been exceptionally generous in sharing her many contacts with us. The contractor who helped us understand the properties we viewed is now in the process of expeditiously updating the house we bought prior to the move-in date. Without Molli’s knowledge and contacts we would have been at a loss to proceed. I have been a real estate broker in Chicago for over thirty years and have worked with many other brokers. Molli is an excellent real estate agent and a pleasure to work with.

No matter what was going on, Molli was ready to work hard for me. She always kept me as a priority, was willing to answer questions, and after a long search finally found a superb place that checked all the boxes. She is extremely personable; her skilled negotiating helped me stay in the deal and I couldn’t be happier! I’ve worked with several realtors over the years and she is by far the best one who I would not hesitate to use again. She treats you as a partner in your house hunt and I give her the highest recommendation.
— Scott
It was by fate that Molli became my realtor. Not only is she a very confident realtor, she is a kind and energetic person to work with. As a first-time home buyer in SF, Molli is knowledgeable and really helped me feel comfortable and secure in the process. She also worked hard to make sure “I got the house”. Thank you Molli! Looking forward to good times in SF.

Client Stories
-
Ashleigh and Grant had lived in their San Francisco condo for five years, and for most of that time, it worked. But as their family’s needs changed, so did what they needed from a home. They wanted more usable space. Grant wanted a garden. Ashleigh’s job change made commuting more important, and finding the right school environment for their daughters had become a bigger priority. A single-family home in San Francisco seemed like the natural next step.
They began competing in the San Francisco real estate market, writing strong offers but repeatedly getting outbid. At that point, the question became less about what it would take to win the next house and more about what they were actually trying to accomplish.
When we broke the search down, the distinction became clear. A house in San Francisco was the original specification, but it wasn’t the underlying goal. What they really wanted was a better daily life: more space, a garden, workable commutes, and a school where their daughters could thrive. Staying in San Francisco mattered, but holding tightly to that one requirement was making the others harder to achieve together.
So we widened their Bay Area home search just enough to test the assumption. In Oakland, they found a single-family home with a small garden, a great school nearby, and commutes that worked for both of them.
What changed was surprisingly small. They didn’t abandon the priorities that had started their search. They changed one variable: location. That one adjustment allowed several other priorities to fall into place.
For buyers navigating San Francisco and Bay Area real estate, that distinction can be valuable. A difficult search does not necessarily mean the answer is simply a higher offer or a bigger compromise on the home itself. Sometimes it is worth identifying which requirement is creating the most friction, then asking what becomes possible if that one variable changes. For A + G, looking beyond San Francisco didn’t mean giving up on what they wanted. It helped them define it more precisely.

C bought a fixer in San Francisco’s Sunset District with a clear plan. As an interior designer, she had the experience to see what the home could become. The drawings were done, the ideas were developed, and a renovation made sense on paper.
Then her circumstances changed. Her parents became ill, her daughter was attending college in San Francisco, and more of her time and attention were being pulled elsewhere. The property had not changed, but her capacity to manage a major remodel had. That distinction became important. The question was no longer whether the renovation could be done, but whether taking it on still made sense within the rest of her life.
She began looking at move-in ready homes in the San Francisco real estate market, hoping to trade a demanding project for something easier to live in. But when the right properties came up, competition pushed them beyond what she was comfortable paying. She was caught between two imperfect choices: stay and commit to a renovation she no longer had the bandwidth to manage, or sell and enter a Bay Area housing market that felt difficult to predict.
At one point, she considered selling the Sunset property without a clear plan for what would come next, simply to remove the pressure of owning a project she no longer wanted to carry. Instead, we focused first on what her next home needed to solve. She needed something that would reduce demands on her time, support her current family responsibilities, and feel manageable rather than becoming another project.
That changed how we approached both sides of the transaction. Rather than forcing the original renovation plan or rushing into the next available property, we treated her available time and energy as real constraints in the decision. We were also able to sell her San Francisco property off-market at a price she felt good about, giving her a way forward without adding a public listing process to an already complicated period.
The outcome looked different from the plan C had when she bought the fixer, but the reasoning behind the change was concrete. Her priorities had shifted, and the value of a move-in ready home had increased because it solved a problem that had not existed when she first purchased. In San Francisco and Bay Area real estate, the property itself is only one part of the decision. For C, recognizing that her capacity had changed made it possible to choose a path that fit the life she was actually living, rather than continuing with a plan built for an earlier version of it.
