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.

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 truly could not recommend Alex Narodny more highly. After more than 18 months of searching for a…read morehome in Sonoma, the process had become long and, at times, disheartening. When the right house finally came along, Alex helped us move quickly and strategically, putting together a compelling offer that ultimately got us the house. While Alex's primary market and expertise are in Marin, he brought that same level of knowledge and experience to our Sonoma purchase and knew exactly how to help us navigate the process. At the same time, we were preparing to sell our property in Marin with Alex, so there were a lot of moving pieces to coordinate. He connected us with fantastic brokers and helped make what could have been a complicated process feel seamless. Alex was knowledgeable, strategic, patient, and responsive throughout. He took the time to explain everything clearly, helped us navigate all of the details and decisions along the way, and made the entire experience feel manageable. Even the seller's agent commented on what a pleasure Alex was to work with. We genuinely believe we would not have gotten this house without Alex's guidance and expertise. After such a long search, we are incredibly grateful he helped us get across the finish line and into a home we absolutely love. We would recommend Alex without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell in Marin, Sonoma, or the surrounding area.

He went above and beyond from the very beginning. When we couldn't make open houses, he made time for several one-off tours around our schedule. He was also great about doing an initial review of homes for us and giving us his honest take on whether a property was worth making the trip for, which saved us so much time. Since it was our first time looking in Marin, his knowledge of the different neighborhoods, communities, and overall "feel" of each area was invaluable. When it came time to make offers, we really appreciated his expertise on pricing and negotiations. He was thoughtful, strategic, and always gave us the information we needed to make decisions without ever making us feel pressured. We were also expecting our first child during the process, so having someone who kept everything calm, organized, and low-stress meant a lot to us. Alex continued to go above and beyond to make sure everything stayed on track through closing, ensuring issues we noticed during our walkthrough were speedily resolved before our move-in date. We absolutely love our new home and are so grateful to have had Alex in our corner throughout the process. He is incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about his clients. We would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking to buy in Marin.

I got the same obnoxious guy as someone else mentioned here in a 2010 review which states:…read more"...fellow was more then rude." I agree with that statement completely. He handed me his business card and said he was Lou La Gatta. He started in 2007 under the name of Marin Realty Group. He apparently has not learned to deal with buyers in a more productive way in the last 14 years since I find myself so annoyed at how I was treated, that I came here to warn others. At any rate, I went to look at a home with him, but he didn't seem to know anything about it. He had to refer to the sellers disclosure paperwork a lot, as if he just got around to reading it for the first time. His attitude changed as soon as he "assumed" I was not going to make a offer and basically told me I needed to leave. Little did he know I was also using this visit, to see if he might be the right agent to help me sell my two properties. If he would have had a better attitude I would have tossed business his way. But this guy lacked basic patience, politeness and showed no interest of knowing things about the home he was supposed to be selling. I felt he was doing this as a hobby and didn't really want to put any real effort into it. My suggestion is look elsewhere for someone who is more of a "people person" who knows their inventory. Lou La Gatta unfortunately chose the wrong business for his personality.

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.

Competent, funny, hard working, ethical, eminently qualified and super smart and fast. She was selling a unit in our complex and needed additional information for her buyer and made sure she sourced several folks in the neighboring complex for her buyer (I was one of them). I remembered her when I needed real estate and market advice and contacted her for specific information which she supplied to me the same day! In addition she publishes a terrific e-newsletter that gives information about market in South Marin. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Thanks Courtney you have terrific people skills and management. She comes from a video production and venture capital background which requires fast thinking and accuracy-- so she utterly gets it! Hope you stay in our community a long time and if we ever need to sell or buy real estate you Courtney Whitaker would be our first choice!
