We could not have asked for a better team and I echo the another reviewer who says they go above and beyond. Getting the property ready required many talents and between them, they filled a variety of roles. We were amazed at how much time Ben spent on site! Their efforts added a lot to the final sale price. Their advice and support was top notch. Communication and attention to detail were exceptional. It was a pleasure to work with them both and I can't imagine bettor realtors.

George Crowe and Stephen Pringle are truly the dynamic duo of Marin Real Estate. My boyfriend and…read moreI just closed escrow on a house in Fairfax and we both feel that these two agents are the best that we have ever worked with. We have both bought numerous houses in the past but we have never before had the confidence level that we experienced with George & Stephen. We first met them at an open house and were impressed with their knowledge and follow through, as well as with their sense of ethics and responsibility to their clients. Stephen came to our inspection and when a question arose about foundation work he proceeded to pull a pair of overalls out of his car and crawl under the house for his own up close view! Now that was impressive. They were available and immediately responsive throughout all stages of the process, including providing us with incredible references for the work that we chose to do after the close. In addition to these attributes, they are both charming and funny and REALLY smart! They made the experience as enjoyable as the purchase of a home can be. We highly recommend Stephen & George and cannot say enough about their professionalism and expertise.

Since we've already recommended George to all our real-life friends, it's time to extend the secret…read moreto our friends residing in the meta-world. George supported my boyfriend and I through our first home purchase which also happened to be a foreclosure. He did so in a manner that made us feel like we were his only clients - always timely in his responses to our endless questions, available to show us the home several times, making appointments with inspectors of all sorts (foreclosures do not typically come with disclosures, so we had to get the pest, home inspection, structural and sewer reports ourselves). George did all this without an ounce of pretension (Ok, I am hyper sensitive to pretense due to the fact that I live in Berkeley, home of the hippiecrite), with a deep knowledge of the real estate industry and of the localities he serves. Anyways, without gushing any further, George is a fantastic resource and you'd be lucky to have him as part of your home-buying team! I wholly recommend his services with no reservations whatsoever.

She was also upfront about telling us why some houses would not be a good value. She always responds quickly and clearly. Other agents I have met felt like they were trying to manipulate us. With Sue, I was at ease and knew she was on our side; this made me feel relieved too. We are so happy with how the transaction went. She is super smart with a wonderful sense of humor which took away the stress of buying a home. Sue also helped us a lot after closing, going above and beyond what we had expected---we are lucky that she was our buyer agent!

There's a reason Sue gets consistent 5 star reviews. It's because she's the best. One-of-a-kind,…read moreeven. Attentive, responsive, and experienced, she was insistent when it was important to be, and otherwise deferential.

I will truly miss working with her.

When I was looking at finding a house in the East Bay I was nervous about finding an agent that…read morewould work well with me being deaf. A friend recommended Richard to me and I got to say "Wow!" He has been fantastic to work with, especially with my deafness and budget. He has great knowledge of the local communities in and around the Bay Area. We were really able to get advice and pointer on what each area was like and their various tradeoffs when it came to properties. With his guidance we were able to narrow our search down to 3 major area in the east bay area. We are no stranger to doing additional work on a house but we were also hoping to find a place that we could move in right away. Richard was very knowledgeable about the various requirements and building code that is unique to the bay area that we were not familiar with. He was able to quickly and accurately give us a rough picture of the overall work and cost needed for each dwelling that we were checking out. He was able to help us narrow down the area we wanted along with avoiding various caveats such as flood risks, wildfire risks, and so forth. Richard was able to answer all of our questions to our satisfaction and if he didn't know an answer off the top of their head, he knew exactly where he could find more information. Honestly at the end of the day he has been a wonderful agent that has gone above and beyond what we would have expected an agent to do. He continues to help us with contractors and various work that remains to be done on the house we closed on, even after the sale was completed. I would highly recommend Richard.

I've worked with Richard multiple times now, and he never fails to impress. This time around, he…read morehelped us find a house for our growing family, and he was terrific! Richard is a well-rounded expert in all home-related matters. He's obviously a great real estate agent, but he also has the knowledge of a home inspector and a general contractor. When viewing properties, he would commonly find problems that weren't mentioned in the home disclosures, and knew roughly how much they would cost to fix. When we ultimately bought our new house, I was confident that there wouldn't be any surprises or unexpected problems. His judgment has always been spot-on, and I've learned to trust his advice completely. After closing, he compiled a list of all the necessary repairs, connected us with excellent contractors, and directed the work. I don't know how we would have been able to do all of this without him, especially with a young baby at home. He's made becoming a new homeowner so much easier! Richard genuinely cares about his clients, and it shows in everything he does. For anyone looking for a realtor who really knows their stuff and will be there for you well beyond the sale, Richard is absolutely the person you want on your side.

In our most recent sale he was onsite helping arrange contractors and legal requirements daily - for weeks - to prepare our unit for sale. He has the best painter, floor refinisher, stager, cleaner, handyman and more. The prices and work completed was perfect, while he oversaw the entire process. I can't begin to say how fortunate we were to have such a hands-on realtor. He was also updating us daily and making sure we were on time with our listing and had all our documents done perfectly. With all the requirements for sale there is no way we could have sold our unit without him. He closed the sale in two weeks also. We have purchased property with Mark as well, and again, he got us the best price and found us a perfect property at that time.

Kirk was a dream to work with over the last 6 months. He helped us both buy our forever home in December 2020 and sell our condo in April 2021. We were fortunate to have Kirk in both processes, keeping our expectations realistic and giving us amazing advice that put us in the best position as buyers and sellers. He knocked it out of the park on both. During our selling process (putting our home on the market was so emotional), he kept us calm and grounded by keeping us closely informed and taking responsibility for EVERYthing!! We were able to relax because we knew Kirk was ON IT. His results speak for themselves: We were able to buy our current home for a steal and sell our condo for more than what we ever thought was possible. So my advice is to a) hire Kirk and b) Listen. To. Kirk. Whether it's a question from how much to write on an offer, to pricing strategy, to marketing, to the work required to put your home on sale... listen to Kirk. LTK. Got it?

He was also very patient and understanding, as our target properties and locations evolved over the course of the search. Dean is also a great negotiator.

Dean has a strong command of assessing what value a particular property should be, and ensures that his clients acquire the right property at the right price. In addition to helping us purchase the right property, Dean also leveraged his network to refer us to an outstanding agent in Napa Valley, who helped us sell our home quickly, at a competitive market price. This enabled us to establish the timing and budget for our new home search in an efficient manner. Overall, we highly recommend Dean to anyone looking to buy or sell a property in San Francisco. He is a true professional, and he will go the extra mile to help you find the perfect home.
