More About Me

About Sondra Oczkus

REALTOR® since 2005; Broker Associate since 2014.

Specialties: Listing Agent, Global Luxury Specialist, Buyer's Agent, Certified Short Sale Specialist, Certified REO Broker. As an accredited Stager, I offer Professional Staging services and manage any appropriate Remodeling of my listings.

There are many real estate agents in the Bay Area - so why choose me? I began my Real Estate career in 2005, after 19 years in research, oral medicine and dentistry. It is this background that has influenced me to thoroughly research all issues relevant to my clients’ transactions and tirelessly advocating for my clients’ best interests. I understand that every property and every client is unique and I strive to best represent your specific needs and to accentuate the unique attributes of your property. I love the challenge of working with clients to help them stage and sell their home. I also find it equally rewarding to help buyers find the perfect home for their unique circumstance.

I work with a small team of experts. We will stage, paint, and make whatever improvements are needed to obtain the highest price and to increase the number of offers. One of our unique attributes is the ability to transform your house into a potential buyer's dream home. If you are a seller, we know exactly what needs to be accomplished to transform your home into a home that potential buyers can picture themselves in; and we do this all at a minimal charge to you.

Coldwell Banker has a comprehensive marketing approach that targets potential buyers most likely to be in the market for properties such as yours. We also monitor all aspects of the timeline of your listing to ensure that there are a minimum of surprises or delays.

"I believe that buying and selling your home is one of your most important transactions. My objective is to assist you to establish the correct valuation, provide sound advice, negotiate on your behalf and hopefully, retain you and your referrals as clients for life."

I successfully worked through the recession beginning in 2007. I became a Certified REO Broker working with many banks. I also became a Certified Short Sale Specialist so that I could better represent distressed sellers. Additionally, I am a Valuation Specialist for homes and land. As a result of my accurate valuations, all of my listings have sold between 97 and 112 percent of the listing price. As our market has strengthened, I have focused on listing larger luxury properties, unique properties, vineyard properties, and new construction. I have listed and sold every type of property from small condos to luxury vineyard estates.

I work primarily by referral. I also enjoy working with people who are relocating.

I am a long time Marin County resident, currently living in Novato. I have lived in Sausalito, San Rafael, Larkspur, Corte Madera, and am very familiar with the communities within Marin.

I am a graduate of USF, UCSF and a cooperative program at Georgetown.

"I would love to work with you. Feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss my strategy to sell your home for the highest price in the shortest period of time, or to find the perfect home if you are looking to purchase."

Testaments of Success

“I came to like and respect Ms Oczkus a great deal because of the assistance she gave to a fellow physician and also to a close friend of mine in selling and buying property.

I have had dealings with quite a few realtors in my life and can say Sondra possesses qualities that are hard to find.
