Barr Haney of OwnMarin was a natural to market my father's home in Kentfield. As a Marin county…read morerealtor and a Marin County real estate agent who lived in the same neighborhood as my father, it was an easy choice to ask him to do the marketing for my father's home. My father passed away in April and I was responsible for marketing his home on behalf of the estate. Barr met with us early and made us feel very confident that due to his roots in Marin County he would be the best one to sell my Dad's home. Barr's professional team guided me through the preparation for sale, the renovations were done in a very cost-effective manner and I felt I was in touch with the process. His operations manager, Jaclyn Blumberg, kept me informed every step of the way. When it came time to sell the home, Barr was there at the open houses and helped us generate multiple offers that resulted in us closing the house at 16% above the asking price.

We knew he was one of Marin County's best realtors and he absolutely didn't disappoint. Our purchase involved a few curveballs and ultimately we found ourselves with multiple offers for the property we wanted most, and Barr helped us navigate that and buy our dream home. Barr knows Marin and he knows how to help you get the home you want!

Mona is extremely dedicated to her clients, and was always available to talk, sign papers, or meet various requirements. Our deal became more and more complicated, but Mona made sure that we knew what the next course of action would be.

She has been working for us 4 months now, and helped us to purchase a property in Marin. Thank you!

We are writing this letter to tell you our experience working with Lyndasue…read more We recently sold 20 residential income properties located around the Bay Area ranging in size from 2-12 units. We have used 6 or 7 different realtors both commercial and residential, to sell our properties in different cities. We met Lyndasue a year ago when she called us and wanted to represent us on our listing agent for two properties we wanted to sell in San Rafael. She has listed and sold 3 of our Marin properties. Lyndasue is so far superior to any other realtors we did business with that we wish she would open offices in the other cities where we have properties for sale. She has a set the standard for integrity, excellent service and selling ability. She is an extremely hard worker and very efficient and thorough. She has managed two escrows where she handled both sides of the transaction, and we felt that our interests were always paramount to her. She is very talented at marketing properties as well as guiding us and the buyers through any difficulties that may come up. We were thrilled with the prices and terms she negotiated for out properties. She stays in control of the escrow even when working with a less experienced buyer's agent. She is a natural problem solver and her insight and understanding of the buyer's and seller's concerns and desires is exceptional. She has provided superior service in each transaction and in addition is very nice and wonderful person to work with. We cannot recommend her highly enough.

Danielle and her team are amazing. She helped us through both selling our Potrero house and buying…read moreour new house in Noe, and there were SO many moving pieces along the way. She was always available, super responsive, and an incredibly valuable co-pilot throughout the whole journey. When it came to preparing our house for sale, as well as our pricing strategy, her team and network added so much value -- ultimately resulting in an incredible offer that was $1.4M over asking. On the flip side, when she helped us buy our new home in Noe Valley, it was a total nail-biter with multiple offers and rounds of negotiation. In the end, we won because of Danielle's long-term relationships and experience. She has her finger on the pulse of the SF market, she'll tell you what she really thinks, and most importantly, she's just a real, authentic person who you genuinely trust to have your back. We couldn't recommend her more.

We worked with Shana as a buyer from San Francisco. Shana is truly a super star in Tiburon and…read moreMarin real estate. I don't think she really needs this Yelp review given her track record, but I am going to write it anyway. We have purchased over 2 homes in the last few years, so we thought we did not need anything special as an agent and originally had an internet real estate broker. It was a really bad decision to save a few bucks. That agent in Marin couldn't get access to listings, especially before market listings or have rapport/relationships. It makes a big difference in competitive places like Marin/Tiburon. With our prior agent, we lost on a home bid by very little who seemed clueless. In any case Shana was the opposite. We had several friends who told us Shana was the one. I also looked at some real estate data nationwide (the one that WSJ uses to track real estate sales, and I think Shana's transactions is by far the largest in Marin). She worked tirelessly to show listings very quickly. Every agent knew her. She knew exactly how much a seller would want so we wouldn't waste time looking at places beyond our range. She also seemed to have a good feel of what we were more interested in for our price range and home features. We found a nice home that fit what we were looking for (location, family friendliness, community, modern) off MLS and Shana made the deal happen so fast and we closed in less than 3 weeks. She got an inspector to come before the city inspection and close of escrow. I don't think we could have done this deal without her. If you are looking to buy or sell in Tiburon or Marin, she is the one!

Shana spent time looking for a property and once located she and her team swung into action taking care of all the details from offer, to inspections, to answering any questions, to closing in a smooth and seamless fashion. It was the best real estate purchase experience of my many purchases and sales. I have and will continue to recommend Shana as the best broker/realtor to friends and colleagues.

They went above and beyond anything we could have imagined from a realtor team. The condo we sold had been a rental, so it needed some work. Even though trades professionals were in very short supply, Candace and Keith had a team they could count on. With Keith as project manager overseeing the painters, carpet installers, electricians, cleaners, stagers and others, the condo looked amazing in a matter of weeks. We received multiple offers over our asking price. Candace helped us weigh our options, so we could select the most viable, high offer. When it came time to purchase a condo, Candace helped us understand what was happening in the current real estate market and what we could reasonably expect. With her guidance, we were able to find a wonderful condo without a lot of churning, and she negotiated expertly with the seller on our behalf. Throughout the entire buying process, we felt that Candace truly had our best interests at heart. For anyone looking for a real estate team that is honest, really knows the market, will work tirelessly on their clients' behalf and has long-term relationships with trades professionals, we can't recommend Candace and Keith highly enough. They were a pleasure to work with!

Having…read moretrusted Ruth with a past property sale in the City, I already knew their team standards were high, but Madeline still managed to exceed them. My search started with her colleague, Yesinia Beatriz, who supported me early on and connected me with Madeline who was a great fit for my needs! I wanted a property in a highly competitive, expensive area during a time of low inventory. Madeline never made my goals feel unrealistic. She helped me purchase my dream home in a newly renovated TIC building on the border of Russian Hill and Nob Hill, smoothly navigating the complex TIC financing requirements. Madeline is highly knowledgeable, efficient, and responsive. She educated me using recent comparable sales data and reviewed every document thoroughly. In a multi-bid situation, her strategy secured a home that not only met my must-haves but also my would-love-to-haves (hello private garage, view, and fireplace), on my very first offer, with zero back-and-forth counters. She operates with total integrity and made me feel genuinely cared for throughout the process. I highly and absolutely recommend Madeline and the Ruth Krishnan team. I can't thank them enough!

Lauren and team were FANTASTIC! My husband and I have lived in SF for 10 years and we were finally…read moreready to look at buying our first home as the rental market went crazy. We had no clue what we were doing walking into this and Lauren helped guide the way from teaching us about the market in general, advising us and referring us to good financing options, and more. The very first thing we did was an exercise to help make sure we had realistic expectations - we looked at a variety of neighborhoods with our price point in mind and looked at previously sold units to understand what we could and could not afford. It was very helpful to then narrow our search to start looking. Lauren walked us through all the options and made sure we wouldn't waste time with things that didn't make sense. When we found homes we liked, Lauren immediately jumped into action, pulling down inspections, sharing intel on the selling agent, and more. She would walk us through the full inspection reports and help flag things we should dig further into. As a family with a kid, she was also extremely thoughtful in guiding us based on nuances of kids in the city. And when it came time to negotiating the home we got, she worked her magic! Up against two cash offers, Lauren helped us navigate a competitive offer in other ways to beat them out. Unreal! Our friends were blown away at how quickly we were able to get a place compared to what they've seen in this crazy market. Our full time from kickoff with Lauren to close was probably only about 2 months total - wayyyy faster than we thought any of this would go down in the crazy SF market. Her team also helped throughout the close process to make sure we were set on moving logistics and getting set for all the new things involved in home ownership. We are so grateful to Lauren and her team who went above and beyond to make sure we were getting the home of our dreams and that we were set up for success. Would highly recommend her and the entire Krishnan team!
