Discreet representation for high-value buyers and sellers across the Bay Area's prime markets. By private introduction.
Off-market and by appointment. Nothing about your search or your sale becomes public unless you wish it to.
Every disclosure read line by line, coordinated with your own financial, tax, and legal advisors.
Closings across the Bay Area's prime markets since 2016, the majority on the buyer's side.
Her current private offering, a gated Mediterranean-style Marin estate in Tiburon with a full Golden Gate Bridge view, is shared with qualified buyers by appointment. Contact her with any questions, browse current listings, or learn how off-market listings work. This runs through The Quiet Search, Lily's private off-market matching process: name your criteria and a private brief follows within 72 hours.
Lily reads every disclosure and inspection report line by line, then tells you plainly what each one means for the home and the price. When a deal does not hold up she says so and will advise you to walk away, and she works through all of it in English and Russian.
Talk PrivatelyLily handles a sale discreetly, including off-market when it fits, meaning the home is shown quietly to qualified buyers rather than listed publicly. The price is set to recent comparable sales, not inflated to win the listing.
Request a Consultation"The seller claimed they had all the necessary permits, but Lily checked with the city and found that some were actually missing. She used that to negotiate us a better price... Lily is diligent, responsive, honest, and genuinely on your side."

"Her biggest strength is her attention to detail. She carefully points out what is right and what is wrong in a house and is always honest in her assessments. We felt we could trust her 100%."
Olga, Bay Area buyer

Tiburon and Belvedere hold some of the most sought-after luxury real estate in Marin: waterfront estates, hillside view homes, and gated properties offered privately. Much of the true top end never reaches a public search; it trades off-market, agent to agent. Lily Garipova represents buyers and sellers at this level with discretion, in English and Russian. For how these homes move quietly, see off-market homes in Tiburon and Marin. For the town itself, the market, and what living in Tiburon is like, see the Tiburon market and city guide. And for a current example, Lily represents a gated estate on the Tiburon peninsula, a private offering.
Data and models inform the read, but interpreting them with judgment and local knowledge is the actual work, and that is the part I do myself.
