Dee went above and beyond with her property project managing skills and handled a damaging water leak like a pro!

I would highly recommend these wonderful people!

I rarely write negative reviews, but I feel an obligation to share this experience so other…read morefamilies can make informed decisions. My parents, both 86 years old, were long-term tenants. My father has Alzheimer's and reached a point where it was no longer medically safe for him to live independently. Their move to assisted living was not a choice -- it was a medical necessity. Despite extensive communication and documentation explaining these circumstances, the property management response was rigid, transactional, and strikingly lacking in compassion. The situation was treated purely as a contractual inconvenience rather than a human crisis involving cognitive decline and elder care. They also levied a "leasing commission" - $5500! - to re-rent the immaculately kept house that took exactly one day for them to re-rent. What was most distressing was not just the financial posture taken, but the tone: repeated legalistic arguments with no acknowledgment of my father's condition, no empathy for an elderly couple in crisis, and no effort to handle the situation with basic humanity. If you are a tenant who expects empathy, discretion, or flexibility when life takes an unexpected and serious turn, I strongly encourage you to think carefully before working with this property management company.

Working with Whitney Potter at Own Marin was an outstanding experience. If you are looking for the…read morea top Marin County real estate agent, Whitney should absolutely be on your list. Whitney came highly recommended by a friend, and after meeting with multiple Realtors while deciding who to work with, we ultimately chose him--and we're so glad we did. From the very beginning, he demonstrated deep expertise in the Marin County real estate market and a clear strategy for selling my parents' home in Mill Valley. He guided us through pricing, preparation, and timing with thoughtful advice that made the entire process smooth and successful. We also used the concierge service offered by Own Marin, which was incredibly helpful. It made it easy to cover the upfront costs for additional work and improvements that helped the property stand out before going to market. What really sets Whitney apart is his responsiveness, professionalism, and attention to detail. He kept us informed every step of the way, handled every challenge calmly and efficiently, and made what can be a stressful process feel organized and manageable. His knowledge of Mill Valley real estate and the broader Marin County housing market, along with his marketing strategy and strong network, clearly helped attract serious buyers and achieve a fantastic outcome. If you're searching for a top Marin County Realtor and someone you can truly trust to guide you through selling a home in Marin, we highly recommend Whitney Potter. Whitney and the team at Own Marin exceeded our expectations, and we're incredibly grateful for his expertise and dedication.

In cases where we have had minor maintenance issues, their service is prompt and impeccable from initial response to follow up after the work is addressed.

Anyone looking to lease from Foundation Homes shouldn't think twice.

The number one complaint about people in Real Estate is that they have poor followup, and Mike with…read moreFoundation Homes fits that unfortunate character flaw. I called Mike about a rental in Tiburon, as my husband and I are initially looking for a rental since his firm is moving us to Marin and we will be new to the area. Mike has a property listed that looked interesting to us, and I set up a time to see the property. He sent me the viewing instructions, which were to send the numbers on the lockbox when I arrive at the home, and I would receive the lockbox code. When my husband and I arrived at the home, we texted the numbers on the lockbox, and the automated system kept responding with a message to only send them the info requested. What?? So, we sent the numbers again. Same glitch message. I then called Mike's cell, twice, and got his voice mail. I then texted him to ask for entry help and to let him know about the glitch. He never responded. One day later, and still no response. That is really poor customer service.

I urge anyone who wants to buy or sell a home in the North Bay Area to work with Lorraine Watkins…read more Lorraine is the House Whisperer. She listens closely and asks a lot of questions so that she has a clear idea of what you are looking for. She also has a way of understanding the "subtext" and that gives her the ability to search out the perfect solution. In our case she found us a home in Novato that was WAY more perfect than we ever hoped and the price was right. Lorraine works very hard for her clients. She has the patience of Job and nothing deters her from her quest to give her clients what they want and maybe even a little more. She is perceptive and warm and fun to work with. She's the House Whisperer.

He goes above and beyond for his clients and he takes the time to learn exactly what you're looking for when it comes to a home. We met Jeff a few years ago and decided then we were going to wait to make this important purchase. When we decided we were ready, we gave Jeff a call and began the exciting (yet stressful!) process of looking for our forever home. Jeff found us our home (fast!) and was professional and organized through the entire process. He was always available over the phone, through text, or over email. Jeff made this process painless and easy for us, being first time home buyers. I'd definitely recommend Jeff if you're in the market to buy a home.

I met Steve in 2013, when he sold my neighbor's house in San Anselmo. I took an instant liking to…read morehim and kept his business card. (He's now been involved in 3 out of the 8 houses on our street, one sale and two purchases.) Five years later, I tracked Steve down as I wanted him to be my agent to help sell my inherited family home. The first thing he said when he came to look at the house was, "Dude, you're leaving money on the table". Thus began an odyssey of a year and a half of remodeling and renovation with his guidance. (I originally just wanted to sell the house as-is, thus Steve's comment.) Steve's wife, Kim, an interior designer, lent initial guidance on the project and provided input on paint choices and furniture. Steve kept an eye out for usable materials from other projects and showed up a couple of times with strings of café lights that helped make the place look magical. I needed to replace some rotated retaining walls and Steve provided contact information for a contractor that did an immense amount of high quality work in a week and a half. Another contractor replaced older double-glazed windows that had failed. (I did joke with Steve that if he was really a full-service broker, he'd know a discrete arsonist.) He showed up one day to touch base while I was pressure washing the carport. Steve grabbed a broom and starting brushing the standing water out, how many agents would do that? As the market was very hot, we had trouble finding a stager that was available. (I was rather dubious about the value of staging at first due to the high cost.) Michelle at Revelation was more affordable than the others and did a bang-up job. She made the house look too good for the likes of us. It's a common phenomenon that people think twice about selling their house after all the improvements are made and they go from drab to fab. Two photographers were provided, including one with a drone, that produced some beautiful collateral with twilight photos. As I ran out of funds near the end, despite acting as the GC, I wanted to help expedite the sale by having the house measured and inspections done before placing the house on the market; he provided both and lent the funds to do so. We were happy that the sale met my target price. We wanted to move to Pt. Reyes Station. We met multiple times to look at properties in west Marin. Steve met me at the county planning offices several times including a paid sit-down meeting with the county where the planning department researches the said property and guides you as to what is feasible. I wasn't aware of such a thing. It was at Steve's suggestion that we set up the meeting and we ultimately decided against making an offer on an overpriced lot with way too many restrictions. At another vacant site, Steve made the observation that there were blue lines (water elements) in the back and side that could create problems getting a leach field approved. Despite his observation, we made an offer that was rejected and I think he was relieved. Steve didn't think the seller would exactly be Mr. Rogers. I have waited a year to write this review, since the sale of our house, because we weren't done with him. We closed escrow, today, on four vacant acres in Sebastopol with Steve's help. Our ambition is to do restorative farming and to build a house that meets our design sense and needs. Few of the lots we considered met all of our criteria including zoning issues. This one does. Steve came to look at it and gave it his blessing so we went forward. There was a last-minute second offer from another party but we won the bidding with my letter to the seller. I wasn't confident with my letter but Steve gave me the thumbs up saying it was perfect the way it was. He was right since the two bids were equal but the seller chose us. Finally, to the "lady" with the two-star review who accused Steve of being in it for the money; I'm offended at the mischaracterization and feel I must defend him. I never felt Steve didn't have our best interests at heart whether it was in selling our house or buying our land over a 2+ year period.
