This was the second home in Marin that he helped us get into and we are grateful for a smooth process both times, I can't recommend him enough. After we bought our new home, we looked to quickly turnaround and sell our other home in a somewhat slower market hoping to get it sold before the holidays. Barr's team moved quickly and professionally. The staging, photography, and marketing were all done at a high level, and he helped us sell our house within a week going to market - sold well over asking. He always took our phone calls, answered texts and emails and pushed through the process without a hitch. Thank you Barr and team for making this home buying and selling experience as seamless as possible.

We contacted them several months ahead of our target date for selling and their team was very helpful and supportive in guiding us through the inspections as well as in deciding what updates my wife's family's home of over 60 years needed to attract potential buyers. The photos and videos of the property were outstanding and the staging was beautiful. Ultimately the property sold a week after listing for 25% over the asking price with 7 offers. We were amazed and very appreciative of the expertise Barr and the Own Marin team provided.

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.

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.

My wife and I spent 15 years in the East Bay dreaming about moving back to San Francisco, but when…read morewe finally decided to make it happen, we came to the search pretty unfocused. We knew what we wanted (classic SF character, water views, a walkable and vibrant neighborhood) but had no clear sense of where to find it all or how to think about our budget. We needed more than a real estate agent; we needed someone who could help us find the dream itself. Danielle Lazier at Vivre Real Estate became our buyer's agent, and she was exactly that person. She listened carefully, zeroed in quickly on what would feel like home to us, and brought real clarity to how our budget aligned with home values on the ground. She was direct and always available, without ever making us feel rushed. We found a stunning co-op apartment in Russian Hill with breathtaking views. Danielle's strategic pricing advice helped us craft a winning offer, and her expertise navigating the additional complexities of a co-op transaction was invaluable. She connected us with excellent vendors, guided us through contingencies, and kept us calm through closing. If you're a home buyer trying to navigate San Francisco's uniquely complex real estate market, there is no one more qualified to have in your corner. She turned a vague old dream into our actual home, and we couldn't be more grateful.

Seven years ago, we relocated from London to San Francisco. After starting out in a rental --…read moreoptions being limited at the time -- we decided to purchase in Pacific Heights. Danielle and her team guided us through the process with patience, giving us the time we needed to truly understand the market and making sure we settled on a place we genuinely loved. As the years passed, work brought us to Asia, and once it became clear we would not be returning to San Francisco, we made the decision to sell. Holding a property from thousands of miles away carries real complexity -- practical, financial, and tax considerations alike. Despite the distance, Danielle delivered an excellent sale and her team executed a remarkably smooth and swift closing. Our notary signing was conducted entirely online, with my wife joining from Singapore and myself from Paris -- a seamless process across time zones. Thank you, Danielle and Vivre team.

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!

Let me say it is not often one encounters professionals in a transaction which make it a pleasure to do business. In my case the experience was exceptional. 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.

We worked with Candace and Keith Nordstrom to both purchase one condo and sell another during the…read moremiddle of the COVID-19 pandemic. 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!

As my wife and I looked to purchase our first home, we were concerned the San Francisco market may be too much for us. Too expensive. Too fast. Too stressful. All of it. Luckily, we connected with Val and the Krishnan team after seeing some of their YouTube videos. Through the use of data, Val showed we could live in the city that means so much to us. Her knowledge of the area seemed so thorough that it gave us the confidence to move forward. By going off-market and showing us a condo that exceeded our expectations, we almost immediately found the home that brought the sense of peace we were searching for. During the whirlwind of stress to acquire it over the next 24 hours after viewing, Val was incredibly responsive and kind. We now have the place of our dreams and Val's efforts could not be understated. We are very appreciative.

We came to her with questions and concerns at every stage, and she patiently worked through every single one, pulling data, connecting us with the right people, and giving us honest, well-reasoned answers, and never pushed. She had strong relationships across the local real estate community and brought clear strategy to bidding --- getting our offer in fast and well-prepared, even on San Francisco's compressed timeline. After closing, she's continued to be super helpful, pointing us to trusted vendors as we settle in.
