Few can match Phillipa's depth of experience and expertise in the buying and selling of real estate. Her clients attest to her integrity, commitment and knowledge of their needs. While working as an emergency room charge nurse in the 1970's and 1980's in Marin and San Francisco, Phillipa's real estate skills were honed in her off duty hours. She built her first home in Belvedere in 1975..., and property management soon followed.
Insightful observations from her professional and personal background give Phillipa a keen awareness of situations, allowing her to anticipate and resolve issues before they become problems, prior to the commencement of negotiations or signing of any contract. Always well prepared, Phillipa's focus from the moment she meets with a client, and throughout the buy/sell process, is: "is this in my client's best interest?".
Phillipa's longtime involvement in clubs, and volunteer activities in various local organizations, give her an extremely broad network of friends and social acquaintances. Being well connected in her personal and professional life brings Phillipa a decided edge. Good communication skills in these areas have proven to be an important key in her successful real estate career.
Phillipa lives in Tiburon and in her spare time looks forward to spending time with her two daughters who live in Manhattan and San Francisco. She also nurtures her lifelong interest in the visual and performing arts by volunteering with The Children's Theatre Association of San Francisco. Playing tennis at the Belvedere Tennis Club, and being a member of the Community Council for The Institute of Health and Healing at California Pacific Medical Center, round out her leisure time activities.
""Ms. Criswell is the most professional, thoughtful and thorough agent I have worked with. She gave me excellent advice from beginning to end. She was 'hands on' through the entire process, resulting in a quick sale for full asking price with back up offers.""

""I have been in the real estate business for over 20 years. So I can say with some experience, Phillipa is exceptional. She quickly understood what I wanted. At times I thought she was psychic in her ability to short list what she showed me. Thanks, Phillipa.""

Hello Margaret,
The commute from MIll Valley to SF General, at non commute hours would be about 40 minutes (your hours would be non commute ones) Quickest route would be Divisadero to Fell. I commuted to Mt Zion hospital at Divisadero and Sutter from Tiburon/Belvedere and that took me 30 minutes. Worked at property management in my off duty hours. SF General is about 10 minutes further on.
Kind regards, Phillipa Criswell - Thu Aug 21 2008, 14:46

A caveat is that you need to be aware of the history of the property, has it been on the market before with the same agent or another agent and at what price.. Your agent should be able to provide these figures to you. - Fri May 9 2008, 20:25

Depends where you live in Tiburon. If you live west past Trestle Glen, at any hour it is not a problem. East past Tresle Glen (one lane highway) is a problem at school commute hours, particuarly in the morning 8am til 8:30ish can add 10 minutes (Total 20 minutes) to the commute to the freeway, then from the freeway about half an hour to 40 minutes to San Francisco. From downtown Tiburon to the freeway non commute hours is 10 minutes. - Thu May 8 2008, 22:28
