About Mette Shirley
Mette moved to Marin County from Denmark in 1992 to chase her "American Dream". With one suitcase and $200 in her pocket, she began her love affair with California and knew she had found her forever home. Fast forward 31 years and Mette is still excited about living in Marin with her British husband and three children, all born in Marin. Her extensive career in real estate began as a stager which fully utilized her strong sense of space, design, and how a home should flow which ultimately translated into higher sales prices for her clients. She decided to add Realtor® to her resume to expand her involvement in the dynamic housing industry. Mette is genuinely passionate about helping clients find homes that perfectly fulfill their idea of dream homes. She enjoys meeting new people and creating beautiful solutions that meet all of their needs. Her warm, respectful and positive demeanor guides clients and team members through even the toughest situations with ease. She is actively involved with her community where she founded and runs a local Buy Nothing Project chapter, a nonprofit that encourages people to gift unwanted items to others in their neighborhood which helps prevent overflow in landfills. In addition, this 1000-member group creates a sense of collaboration, connection, belonging, and joy within the San Anselmo and Fairfax neighborhoods. She enjoys spending time with family and treasures hands-on activities such as gardening, knitting, puzzles, and other do-it-yourself projects in her spare time.
