As a Marin native and Real Estate consultant, I have a rare combination of skills, knowledge, and insights that lead to highly successful transactions and satisfied clients in this special part of the Bay Area. I view my relationships as a partnership... providing counseling and serving as my clients’ advocate as we work together to find just the right property or buyer. I provide professional expertise and honest, intelligent service to my clients. Today’s rapidly changing market requires a full-time professional Realtor, and I have the freedom to work one-on-one with my clients, actively listening to their needs and keeping them abreast of the ever-changing Marin real estate market.

Although many people have moved to Marin over the past few decades, those of us who have lived here our whole life is relatively hard to find. Living here has given me an in-depth understanding of the unique local culture and personality of many of Marin’s favorite communities, such as Mill Valley, San Rafael, and Corte Madera. I know the hidden neighborhoods prized by locals and can find one that matches up perfectly with your needs. As a specialist in residential properties throughout Marin County, I provide a distinct advantage in my ability to quickly locate the most appealing properties.

As a full-time experienced Realtor/Broker for more than twenty years, I’m privileged to be associated with a premier brand, Golden Gate Sotheby’s International Realty. Being a Top Producer and owning my own brokerage has prepared me for the ever-changing real estate market. I am dedicated to my profession. I look forward to the opportunity of working with you as your real estate consultant while earning a long and lasting relationship.


BACKGROUND

Prior to joining Golden Gate Sotheby’s International Realty, I was a broker associate with Decker Bullock SIR, McGuire Real Estate, Vision Real Estate, and my own company Platinum Real Estate. I spent more than 20 years in management and operations with Blank Noir women’s clothing and Silbermann’s Ice Cream, where I developed valuable experience in time management, negotiations, finance, strategy, and customer relations... skills which have helped me successfully serve my clients in real estate. I am a graduate of San Francisco State University with a BS in Business Administration, and Finance, as well as the College of Marin and Terra Linda High School in San Rafael.

Chad Dagit
Lic.# 02047956
A fourth-generation Marin resident, Chad Dagit was born, raised, and is still proudly rooted here — he and his family call the east San Rafael neighborhood of Glenwood home, where he serves on the neighborhood board.

Chad's path to real estate is anything but ordinary. After earning his degree from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo in 2006, he taught Physical Education at Sun Valley Elementary before serving the community of San Francisco as a police officer. Those roles — requiring clear communication, composure under pressure, and genuine commitment to others — laid the foundation for the real estate professional he is today.

Whether a client is buying, selling, relocating, building from the ground up, or investing, Chad brings the same focus and dedication to every relationship. His background gives him a rare ability to navigate high-stakes situations with clarity, and his deep Marin roots mean a trusted network of vendors and industry professionals ready to support your goals. Clients don't just get a transaction — they get full-service attention and a partner invested in their long-term success.

Family and community have always been at the center of Chad's life. Currently, he is an active San Rafael Rotarian, serves on the executive board of SFPAL, and holds board positions with the SRHS Alumni Association and SRHS Scholarship Foundation. And his most cherished commitment? Helping teach a monthly bike and scooter class at his son's preschool.

Chad's greatest reward remains the same: helping people and building lasting relationships that extend well beyond a given real estate transaction.
