The Market

Marin's Waterfront —
Unrivalled

Marin County's waterfront communities represent some of the most sought-after real estate in the entire Bay Area. From the floating home docks of Sausalito to the panoramic bay views of Tiburon and the exclusive island enclave of Belvedere, these addresses command a premium that reflects their extraordinary setting and permanent scarcity.

I have lived on the Sausalito waterfront for 17 years. I sail, wing foil, and spend my weekends on Richardson Bay. I know this market from the inside — the values, the nuances, and the opportunities that only an insider can identify.

Marin's Finest Addresses

Sausalito Floating Homes

My Home · 17 Years on the Docks

Sausalito's floating home community is one of the most extraordinary residential neighborhoods in America — approximately 480 floating homes spread across ten docks on Richardson Bay. I have lived here for 17 years and have sold more floating homes than almost any agent in Marin. There is no substitute for this level of insider knowledge.

Price range: $550,000 — $2,800,000+

Sausalito

Waterfront Village · Views · Lifestyle

Beyond the floating homes, Sausalito's hillside and waterfront homes offer stunning views of the Bay, Angel Island, and San Francisco in a village setting that is unlike anywhere else in the Bay Area. Charming architecture, walkable streets, and a genuine community character that has been drawing buyers for generations.

Price range: $1,200,000 — $4,500,000+

Tiburon

Peninsula · Bay Views · Top Schools

Tiburon occupies a dramatic peninsula jutting into the Bay, offering some of the most spectacular water views in all of Marin. The combination of a charming downtown, direct ferry service to San Francisco, excellent schools, and a range of properties from cottages to waterfront estates makes it perennially one of the Bay Area's most sought-after communities.

Price range: $1,400,000 — $6,000,000+

Belvedere

Island · Exclusive · Panoramic Views

Belvedere is one of the most exclusive communities in the entire Bay Area — a small island city connected to Tiburon by a causeway, with 360-degree views of the Bay, San Francisco, and Marin. With permanently limited housing stock, exceptional privacy, and some of the most architecturally significant homes in the region, Belvedere represents the pinnacle of Marin County luxury.

Price range: $2,500,000 — $12,000,000+

Why Marin

What Makes This Market
Exceptional

Permanent Scarcity

Marin County's geography — bounded by the Bay, the ocean, and the Marin Headlands — means the supply of waterfront property is permanently limited. No new waterfront neighborhoods can be created. This structural scarcity underpins long-term value in a way that few other markets can claim.

Natural Beauty

Richardson Bay, the Golden Gate, Angel Island, Mount Tamalpais, and the Marin Headlands form a natural amphitheater of staggering beauty. Residents wake up to views that visitors travel from around the world to photograph. It is, simply, one of the most beautiful places to live on Earth.

San Francisco Access

The Golden Gate Bridge is 25 minutes from Sausalito. The ferry from Tiburon or Sausalito delivers you to the Ferry Building in San Francisco in 30 minutes. For buyers who want natural beauty and city access without compromise, Marin waterfront delivers both.

Community Quality

Marin County's waterfront communities are characterized by genuine civic engagement, world-class schools, exceptional dining and culture, and a quality of life that consistently places them among the highest-rated communities in the United States.

Outdoor Life

Hiking, cycling, kayaking, sailing, wing foiling — Marin waterfront residents have access to some of the best outdoor recreation in California, all within minutes of their front door. Mount Tamalpais State Park, the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, and Richardson Bay itself are all at your doorstep.

Investment Stability

Marin County waterfront property has demonstrated remarkable resilience through multiple economic cycles. The combination of structural scarcity, natural beauty, and proximity to one of the world's great cities creates a demand floor that has consistently supported values over the long term.

A Unique Specialty

Sausalito's Floating
Home Community

Within Marin County's broader waterfront market, Sausalito's floating homes occupy a category entirely their own. Approximately 480 homes spread across ten historic docks on Richardson Bay — each one unique, each one a testament to the remarkable human impulse to live in extraordinary ways.

I have lived on these docks for 17 years. I have sold more than 80 floating homes. No one in Marin County understands this sub-market better.

Your Agent

Steve Sekhon —
Waterfront Specialist

I have lived on the Sausalito waterfront for 17 years. I sail, wing foil, e-foil, and cruise Richardson Bay in my Boston Whaler. I know this market — its values, its nuances, and its opportunities — from the inside.

My background in Urban Planning (M.A., UC Berkeley) gives me a rigorous analytical framework for evaluating any waterfront property — from zoning and permit history to long-term value trajectories. Combined with 17 years of lived experience on the water, it is a combination that consistently produces results.

I represent buyers and sellers throughout Sausalito, Tiburon, Belvedere, Strawberry, and Marin County's finest waterfront addresses.
