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.

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.

Their expertise runs deep -- they know not only the ins and outs of each neighborhood, but even the nuances of individual streets. This mattered tremendously to us as we were moving from out of town and considering multiple areas in Marin. At no point did they try to sell us on a house. In fact, they often led with, "Here are the things that could be tricky about this home or neighborhood." That honesty and thoughtfulness built enormous trust throughout the process. In the end, they helped us find the perfect home for our family (and guided us through some hurdles along the way). We are incredibly grateful for their partnership and cannot recommend them enough.

We feel like we won the lottery being referred to Sarah!…read more Holy smokes... her expertise, work ethic, persistence, warmth, patience, and thoughtfulness are completely unparalleled. With every interaction, I was filled with immense gratitude to have her in our corner during the arduous process of buying a home, especially as first-time buyers. It was not an easy road working with us: we had endless questions, evolving needs, difficult schedules, and many bouts of indecision. Sarah rode every wave with us and treated us with such empathy and respect no matter what. She took the time to truly get to know our family, made us feel like a top priority, and remained an absolute professional throughout. When our offer was finally accepted, she shined brighter than ever... I honestly don't think we would have survived the stress of a fast 14-day close without her guidance, reassurance, and dedicated support! Do not hesitate to work with Sarah; you will not regret it! I could not recommend her more highly. Thank you, Sarah! You are simply the best.

In an extremely competitive San Francisco real estate market where buyers are acquiring $1 million above listing prices means having either a buyers or sellers agent is critical in having the hyper local neighborhood real estate expertise, insights, marketing, deep knowledge of local market value.

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.

This meant a great deal to me when we were purchasing our home, as it was my first experience and I'm conceptual. I need to think through decisions with lots of detail. I had no idea what to expect from the process, and still found I had unreal expectations. Jonathan's kind and gentle handing of my stream of questions alone was enough to make him a good agent, but that's not all you get from him. We were especially appreciative of his gentle steady nature as our sellers agent complicated things oddly. He handled that sticky scenario kindly while protecting our interests at every moment. He's so kind in all his interactions it's easy to miss when he's being tough. But he is when needed. We were so proud to have ourselves represented through the sticky part so graciously and firmly. We got the correct house for us! The market at the time was like the wild west with huge overbidding, and a lot of competition. Jonathan's knowledge of neighborhoods, and other agents seriously helped us place correct offers and avoid a couple that we ultimately had no chance at. We got ours for asking! And we love our home that suits us so well, just as predicted by Jonathan at the start. Sure, he's knowledgeable, smart, personable, professional, and all that you'd need and expect in a good agent. He is also an incredibly kind, caring, you focused, person that is a joy to work with. And isn't that what we'd all like to be around, and work with? Here's your chance to select a great agent.

She explained her process well and was also great at listening to us and working collaboratively as a team. She facilitated and followed though with all of the things that needed to be done before our home was on the market. I really felt like I didn't lift a finger. Our home sold super quickly, and Julia broke down all of the offers we got in layman terms and helped us choose the best offer for us. Throughout the escrow process she was available and present and walked us through each step. Julia really made selling a home so easy and seamless! Julia is kind, friendly, knowledgeable, supportive and communicative and is excellent at what she does.

This property sold 6 months ago for $1.6 Mill and is now listed for $2.8 Mill. When I asked her why there was such a difference in price she started yelling saying, "so what, it doesn't matter" (I can assure you it does matter). After asking her several direct questions as calmly and professionally as I could, I was able to find out that there have been no changes to the property and no justification for a $1.2 mill price increase since the last sale only 6 months previously. Finally she yelled something I didn't understand and hung up on me. I would never recommend this agent to anyone nor would I work with her in any way. If I am assigned one of her properties to appraise I will be turning down the assignment. It is shameful that someone who works in a people oriented service industry would treat a fellow professional in this manner.
