She is patient and attentive, and honestly fun to be around. I also think the personal touches is what sets her apart from other agents. She got our old and new house cleaned for us. She keeps in touch with us and invites us to fun client events all the time. If you are looking at buying or selling I suggest you get in touch with Jennifer Bowes.

Adam helped us buy our first house earlier this year. He is incredibly knowledgeable, professional,…read moreand personable. As first-time buyers, we had a lot of questions (about the process and about owning property in general), and we never felt judged or like we were a nuisance. We started looking before the pandemic, so it ended up taking over a year for us to find the right home. Adam was patient while we navigated a highly-competitive and inconsistent market. He never tried to influence us on any one property and was genuinely interested in learning about our lifestyle so he could help us find exactly what would be right for us, even if that meant we saw quite a few homes without making an offer. After getting outbid on the first try, we finally got our offer accepted on the perfect place. Adam helped us make our offer competitive and was able to get the selling agent to adjust the offer date so we would have time to make an offer on another property if it fell through. From there, we had a series of frustrating challenges trying to close. Adam struck the perfect balance of keeping us level-headed and focused while still validating our frustration. He proactively communicated with us, made phone calls with our lender and the selling agent, and was unafraid to push back against some of the absurdities we ran into. Adam was by our side the whole way though, even after we had the keys in our hands. We love our new home and we're certain that many agents wouldn't have been able to pull it off. We were very lucky to have Adam!

Novato realtors' Team McGinnis saved us from a difficult situation in the Novato real estate…read morehousing market. After 19 years of home ownership in the same Novato location, we decided that it was time to make a move across town and acted quickly to financially stretch into a larger, more expensive, house. Purchasing the house in the new location with a bridge loan at a high rate of interest, the transaction only works "if" we sell our existing house quickly to capitalize on the home's equity having made a quick purchase of a new house at a high rate of interest which we needed to refinance. When our realtor became hospitalized for almost two weeks and with our longtime home sitting on the market for over 30 days, we were feeling that we were headed for financial ruin and were in a vulnerable position sitting on two mortgages. On a Thursday morning, we had a difficult conversation with our still recovering realtor, parted ways amicably, and then reached out to Team McGiniss for help. Working with Kevin and Erin of Team McGinnis, our outlook quickly changed. We were provided market analysis reports which allowed us to reset our expectations in relisting the property, the home was staged with beautiful Team McGinnis furniture in just one day, and two open houses were scheduled for that weekend on both Saturday and Sunday. By the end of the weekend, we had two of what would ultimately be four offers, each over the listed price, all that came within 10 days of making the decision to go with Team McGinnis. Working with Kevin and Erin of Team McGinnis allowed us to get through the sale of our home at a time when we needed it most, increased our exposure from zero offers to four in ten days, and had us selling our home at a price significantly over the listed asking price. Kevin and Erin provided us with the professional expertise, emotional support, and fast action required to turn around a bad situation in an uncertain housing market. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to work with a powerhouse real estate team in Marin County and the North Bay.

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.

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.

John did a great job of asking us about what we were interested in, learning about our family, and trying to understand what would be a good fit for us. He showed us a few houses and we made an offer on one of the first few that we saw, but unfortunately, we were outbid and pretty bummed. John coached us through the process and helped us remain positive. He ended up finding an even better home for us, which turned out to be our dream home. John not only helped us land our dream home, but he also helped us sell the house that we were living in. John understood that we were pretty anxious about owning two homes with two mortgages, so he gave us some great advice to prepare the house to fetch top-dollar. We had a strong open house and received 5 offers all over asking the first weekend that we listed the house. John guided us through the offers and ultimately helped us choose which one made the most sense for us to move forward with. We had a wonderful experience working with John, he's a great communicator, a good person, and a very funny guy. He went above and beyond every step of the way, so we feel very fortunate to have met him, and look forward to working with him again one day!

John helped me sell my home following a divorce. He recommended the work that should be done, and what work would not add value. He had contacts for all the projects/inspections and helped stage the house so we were able to get the property on the market quickly and truly sell for top dollar. He then quickly pivoted and navigated a tricky purchase with a remote owner, tenants in the property, and a non-local realtor. He negotiated a fantastic price and connected me with the best mortgage partner!! Again he had all the people needed for the fixes before we moved in. John was so fantastic he just helped my ex buy his house!! John knows how important my kids are and was dedicated to getting them the best place to live while spending time with their dad! (John is fantastic with kids, they can be opinionated customers)!!! I highly recommend John to anyone looking to buy or sell their home in Marin!

As anyone can imagine as first time homebuyers, we were very overwhelmed and had a lot to learn. But what made it so much smoother and reassuring was having Stacy and Vince there to guide us. They were all about making sure they were looking for the things we wanted but also setting realistic expectations. We never felt any pressure to go in a certain direction when looking for houses. They always made sure to inform us of everything from looking at a specific house to the gritty details of mortgage loans. They were very approachable and also took extra time and effort to check in on us. It honestly felt like we were their only clients. Stacy and Vince are an amazing team, and you can really tell that they care both about their clients and their practice. I highly recommend anyone who is looking in the Marin area to reach out to them. We are extremely grateful we did as they really are Marin's Finest.
