A Timeless San Francisco Icon

Originally built in 1906 by the renowned father and son architect team of Newsom & Newsom, this Classic Revival Residence located on one of the premier blocks of Pacific Heights recently experienced a resurgence of glowing accolades. Twenty-eight of the best and brightest designers in SF descended upon the 4 story 11,000+ sq. ft. mansion and transformed it from a stately handsome home into dazzling jaw-dropping icon. The Mack Mansion of yesteryear was artfully reimagined for a contemporary aesthete, while respectfully paying homage to its rich heritage. Juxtaposed with the modern designer decor, classic architectural details still abound from the grand escalier crafted in dark wood with wrought-iron balusters to the immediately recognizable circular temple-style portico white marble front entrance. This one-of-a-kind property has only been in the hands of a few owners such as financier Julius Mack, the Orrick Family for 50 years, and a prominent orthomolecular doctor. 2968 Pacific Avenue, San Francisco $25,800,000 PacificHeightsEstate.com

When you work with us, expect results. “I got connected with Joe Frazzano via my real estate agent on the East Coast. I was looking to move back East and needed to sell as soon as possible. Joe and his team were exceptional, very professional yet personable. They took care of everything, connected with me contractors, stagers etc. I was able to close in 3 weeks and got the best offer. They were a real pleasure to work with and I would recommend this team as they are hands down the best team in the area.” –Recent Zillow Review

Sales Volume “Joujou’s vast experience in real estate sales is a benefit to any buyer or seller. My husband and I interviewed multiple brokers from various agencies for the representation of our Danville home; clearly the superior choice in terms of specific market knowledge, pricing advice, quality of marketing campaign, passion for what she does and for our home in particular. All of these qualities ultimately played a role again in matching up the perfect buyer for our home at a premium sales price. We were EXTREMELY satisfied working with Joujou and her Compass team. Only rave reviews from us.”

“Everyone told us Joujou was the best and, once you see her at work, you know she is. Joujou knows the best people to help you get ready to sell and brings potential buyers to view your home even before it hits the MLS. Whether you are buying or selling I highly recommend Joujou both for her expertise and dedication. She works tirelessly on behalf of her clients. I would absolutely use her again.” - VI L.

Meet Jon Wood

SAN FRANCISCO EAST BAY AREA SPECIALIST Though he’s lived in various cities throughout the area, Jon Wood has resided in East Bay his whole life. Born in Grass Valley and raised in Moraga, Jon has always loved the beautiful nature and vibrant culture Northern California has to offer, so much so that he chose to raise his two children in Walnut Creek for more than two decades and currently calls Lafayette home. This passion for his community and familiarity with the neighborhoods he serves sets Jon apart as an agent, as his knowledge of the marketplace, school districts, and overall vibe of Lamorinda, Walnut Creek, and Diablo Valley is unparalleled. His myriad of local ties and flourishing network of connections within the community present clients with a huge advantage and a multitude of resources.

Meeting you where you are.

Jon is in a class of his own. He listed our house in Walnut Creek and helped us purchase our new home in Orinda. First, let me describe the process of selling our house: Jon worked very closely with us every step of the way. He did a fabulous job of getting the house ready, developing a marketing plan that would reach the demographic of buyers we wanted to attract. His approach was proven when we received 5 offers that were all far above the asking price within 5 days. Our selling price set a new record in our neighborhood. In buying our new home, Jon spent time understanding our requirements completely before showing us properties. We ended up buying the house of our dreams with an under asking price offer! Jon’s negotiation skills are first class. I can’t make a higher recommendation for using the services of Jon! Truly many steps above any other realtors I have worked with! - Andy C.

“Before working with Brian, I had no idea what the difference between a good realtor and an extraordinary realtor was. We worked with Brian to both buy and sell our house in the East Bay - and the results for both transactions were phenomenal. We could not have asked for someone who was more responsive and dedicated to ensuring that our expectations were not only met, but exceeded. Brian attends to every detail of the buy/sell process and is clearly dedicated to his clients and their success. I highly recommend Brian as a realtor in the San Francisco East Bay.” - The Talbot Family Brian Rochford DRE #01470068 925-285-0439 brian@tom-rochford.com luxuryhomesoﬂamorind.com

Special Sales by Mary Bonham Year-to-Date Sales Report LISTINGS BY MARY BONHAM AVERAGE SALE PRICE: $2.8M AVERAGE DOM: 8 OVER LIST AVERAGE: $184K HIGHEST OVER ASKING: $551K The approaching holiday season has me reflecting on the special nature of my last few sales. Family members referring me to other family members wanting to buy or sell a home to begin a new chapter in their lives. In one case, my clients referred me to their son and daughter-in-law as they embarked upon their first home purchase. In another, two of my clients caring for their parents, asking me to sell their parents’ homes. Most recently, my client referring me to her mom as she looked to transition to a smaller home. I am so touched that in all of these cases, my clients referred me to their family members because they had a positive experience when I represented them. It is my honor and pleasure to be chosen as the family’s Realtor. If you have loved ones who are considering a move, I would be happy to offer my experience and care.

LISTED AND SOLD IN ALAMO 2021

“We originally met Jill 14 years ago when she found us our first house in Danville. Many years later, when it was time to sell this home, it was an easy decision who to partner with. The results exceeded our expectations. On the sale side, Jill strategically negotiated $555,000 OVER LIST PRICE. I have never seen any other agent have such a deep knowledge of the local market and the ability to know exactly how to maximize my exposure in order to get the highest return on our investment! She has incredible patience. Even under pressure, and during challenging situations, she works through issues calmly and methodically. She is available all the time, makes you feel as if you are her only client, has tremendous market knowledge, creates detailed custom strategic marketing plans, and is approachable and cool under pressure. We highly recommend Jill, there’s nobody better! We saw firsthand why Jill is one of the top producing agents in the marketplace.” - Happy Seller in Alamo

“

If you want someone to have your best interest at heart then Sante is your broker! He guided us ever step of the way to make sure we received top dollar for our home. He invested a ton of hours and energy to ensure we maximized our marketing and brought in a large amount of interested buyers. In addition, once we accepted an offer Sante made sure to follow up with the escrow company and even funded us

earlier then the original closing date. It’s rare that I come on Yelp to write a review but I highly value

good service and Sante is one of those rare brokers who believes in doing the right thing and building a relationship instead of a quick sale. Needless to say when it’s time to buy again we have our broker!” SELLER AND BUYER REVIEW

THE VERSAILLES OF ORINDA

GOODAGENT.ORG/OAKWOOD | 26 OAKWOOD ROAD, ORINDA | $3,690,000 Built in 2000 by a Polish lover of History, Christopher De Heer, over a period of five years, with materials imported over from Europe, this one of a kind property, once described as the Versailles of Orinda, commands the view of the lavish hills once described by world war two pilots as having the perfect weather in all of the country. Total privacy and seclusion, and yet only a short drive away from the best San Francisco has to offer. Behind an electric gate, and in almost an acre, the beautiful 5,067 sq. ft. villa is reminiscent of classical European architecture, and the spectacular long driveway leads up to a grand entrance, a sweeping staircase and a majestic heated pool with waterfalls and entertaining area, pockets of gardens with art, rare herbs and flowers and expansive space for memories to last a lifetime that lust to be made.

CASTLE OF MARQUARTSTEIN

LIVE LIKE ROYALTY

GOODAGENT.ORG/CASTLE | €15 MILLION As an important and famous Bavarian landmark, the castle is listed as a historical monument. This unique estate was originally built by the local count Marquart von Hohenstein in the year 1075. When today’s owner acquired the castle in 1987, they began extensive renovations over several years. Because of its important strategic location in Southern Bavaria (also known as the land of castles) the Castle of Marquartstein served the Bavarian rulers as the center of government and administration for the Chiemgau region for centuries. Today, the Castle of Marquartstein serves as a family home, within medieval walls but with all the comforts of the 21st century.
