SHELLY PLACE | CA DRE# 02253988

Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, I ventured to New York City at 18 to attend New York University and ended up staying for nearly 15 years. During that time, I built my real estate career from the ground up, closing over $65+ million in sales plus hundreds of rentals and earning recognition as a top producer in my NYC office for multiple years, an achievement I’m deeply proud of.

After nine incredible years in New York real estate, my husband, our rescue dog Chili, and I moved back home to the Bay Area. I’m now proudly based in Corte Madera, serving clients throughout Marin County and the greater Bay Area as part of the Golden Gate Sotheby’s team. While the Bay is home once again, I continue to hold licenses in both California and New York, bringing my East Coast hustle and grit to the West Coast lifestyle.

Having bought my first home at 27 (and selling it later), I know firsthand what it feels like to be on both sides of a real estate transaction. At the heart of my business is a belief that people should truly love where they live and feel inspired by their space every single day. My mission is to make every client a client for life by providing a thoughtful, transparent, and tailored experience at every step.

Whether you're buying, selling, or dreaming of your next move, I'm here to guide you home.
