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.

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.

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.

She was always available, super responsive, and an incredibly valuable co-pilot throughout the whole journey. When it came to preparing our house for sale, as well as our pricing strategy, her team and network added so much value -- ultimately resulting in an incredible offer that was $1.4M over asking. On the flip side, when she helped us buy our new home in Noe Valley, it was a total nail-biter with multiple offers and rounds of negotiation. In the end, we won because of Danielle's long-term relationships and experience. She has her finger on the pulse of the SF market, she'll tell you what she really thinks, and most importantly, she's just a real, authentic person who you genuinely trust to have your back. We couldn't recommend her more.

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!

Working with Madeline Gibson and the Ruth Krishnan team was an exceptional experience. Having…read moretrusted Ruth with a past property sale in the City, I already knew their team standards were high, but Madeline still managed to exceed them. My search started with her colleague, Yesinia Beatriz, who supported me early on and connected me with Madeline who was a great fit for my needs! I wanted a property in a highly competitive, expensive area during a time of low inventory. Madeline never made my goals feel unrealistic. She helped me purchase my dream home in a newly renovated TIC building on the border of Russian Hill and Nob Hill, smoothly navigating the complex TIC financing requirements. Madeline is highly knowledgeable, efficient, and responsive. She educated me using recent comparable sales data and reviewed every document thoroughly. In a multi-bid situation, her strategy secured a home that not only met my must-haves but also my would-love-to-haves (hello private garage, view, and fireplace), on my very first offer, with zero back-and-forth counters. She operates with total integrity and made me feel genuinely cared for throughout the process. I highly and absolutely recommend Madeline and the Ruth Krishnan team. I can't thank them enough!

Working with Val and the Krishnan team on our home search and purchase was a great experience!…read moreAlthough they have a busy practice, we felt very well educated and prepared at every step. (Pro tip: take the homework they give you seriously- the Past Sold exercise was incredibly valuable) Val and her team were always present and reliable when an important decision needed to be made, a problem required solving, or an opportunity demanded action. Val brings a lot of experience and judgment to the process. She is warm and personable, but also pragmatic, firm, and refreshingly no-nonsense when the situation calls for it. We appreciated having someone who could cut through the noise, give us a clear read on a situation, and help keep a complicated transaction moving forward. She also created opportunities for us that we genuinely don't think we would have had with another agent. She and her team were thorough with the details and documents, helped us work through a seemingly endless number of questions, and made the overall process much more manageable. Val is very good at what she does. If you're looking for someone experienced, well connected, pragmatic, and effective when it counts, while still being empathetic, she's a great person to have in your corner. We would absolutely work with her again and would happily recommend her to friends looking to buy or sell a home.
