My wife and I worked with Barr Haney from Own Marin to find a home in Marin County. He immediately impressed us with his local knowledge, measuring our wants and needs with what each area had to offer. Throughout the process, he was extremely patient and helpful; never forcing us into making a decision where we didn't feel totally comfortable and confident. And his experience and likability was evident with other brokers, which proved to be very valuable when it came time to submitting offers. In the end, he was able to deliver a prevailing offer in a multiple offer situation which landed us an excellent home in Kentfield. If you're looking for a Marin County real estate agent, Barr is the best! read more

Barr Haney, the Principal of Own Marin, was the perfect agent for us. We needed to find a Marin County real estate agent when we were ready to make the move. Barr and his team live in Marin, so they have intimate knowledge of the market. Because of this, we were able to buy a home off-market before it had a chance to get multiple offers. Barr was extremely responsive, we never had an issue reaching out, day or night. And he helped us with the right offer to get us our dream house! Highly recommend Own Marin and Barr. read more

Julia at Own a marin helped us find our first home and we couldn't recommend her more! We searched for over 1.5 years and she helped us navigate this very tricky market. She was always super responsive, have great insight, and was available to show us homes during our (little) free time. Thanks, Julia! read more

Barr Haney and team at Own Marin were amazing partners in our Marin County home search. He was extremely knowledgeable about the local market and was always available and easy to get a hold of to answer all of our questions. He helped us beat out another offer on the house we ended up purchasing while also landing on a price that was below ask. I would highly recommend using Barr as your Marin County Realtor! read more

We used Barr at Own Marin to buy our home during one of the craziest times in the housing market (post COVID/Spring 2021). Before we met Barr we felt deflated and exhausted from our home search as we had lost out on so many offers. But having Barr on our side made all the difference. We found our home within weeks! His knowledge of Marin, and of the market is invaluable. He sets realistic expectations and guides you through the process of competitive home buying. We can't recommend Own Marin enough, the Marin market takes someone that really gets it, and Barr Haney delivers on that. read more

We are incredibly grateful to Julia Fitzpatrick and the Own Marin team for helping us find our perfect home in San Rafael. We met Julia at an open house in the early stages of considering a move from SF to Marin. We naturally struck up a conversation and found her to be very down to earth, knowledgeable, and genuinely interested in getting to know us and what we were looking for in a home. About a year later, once we were ready to get serious about buying, Julia was there for us every step of the way, providing the guidance we needed as first-time buyers. Through COVID restrictions, she was proactive, flexible in accommodating many showings and provided honest feedback, always with our best interest in mind. She was incredibly calm and patient, particularly during the stressful moments that presented themselves throughout the process. Julia's relationships and experience within the Marin County real estate market are very strong, which we felt to be critical to our successful home search. Perhaps most importantly, Julia was highly skilled in helping us strategize and craft a strong offer for an off-market opportunity, enabling us to go in with confidence and ultimately secure our home. In an extremely competitive environment that can feel discouraging at times, we couldn't have asked for a better outcome: a home we adore in a wonderful neighborhood - at a price we feel great about! Thank you, Julia! read more

Working with Barr Haney and Own Marin was an outstanding experience. Barr made himself available to us and was always prompt with answering questions, getting disclosures and setting up showings. We had a unique situation attempting to make our purchase while outside the state and Barr went the extra mile doing FaceTime walkthroughs which allowed us to have the confidence to make an offer sight unseen! Most importantly he helped guide us through the process of making the offer and made sure we got our dream home! Barr came highly recommended from friends in the area and he did not disappoint. If you are looking for a Marin county real estate agent who is attentive, responsive and well connected in the area then I can't recommend Barr and Own Marin enough! read more

We used Own Marin both for the purchase and sale of our San Anselmo home and both times we couldn't have been happier. Allie Fornesi made the experience of selling our house in 2021 so easy it was hard to believe that it was actually happening until it was done...the professionalism, confidence, and market knowledge was amazing and I'd recommend Allie and OwnMarin to any of my family/friends! read more

- Buying your first home is incredibly daunting, nerve-wracking, and stressful. When you compound that with trying to buy your first home, in Marin County, amid tremendous market and macroeconomic uncertainty, it amplifies those emotions even more. We were fortunate enough to partner with Julia Fitzpatrick over the last two years while we searched for our first home, and we could not have found a better, trusted advisor. Julia provided assurance, perspective, and candid feedback when we needed it most. Above all, Julia was patient, understanding, and supportive of how we pursued our first home. Julia's incredibly deep network and breadth of experience in the Marin County and Bay Area market gave us confidence that we'd find an exceptional first home. I'm happy to report that we were successful in our pursuit and couldn't have landed a better home in Marin. We're forever grateful for Julia and cannot recommend her enough! read more

My husband and I were referred to Julia Fitzpatrick through our close friends who bought their Marin County home through her. They had a great experience and had nothing but amazing things to say about her, and they were right. In my opinion Julia is the top Marin real estate agent. We were looking in both San Francisco (with a different agent) and Marin with Julia. We were also looking for three years and are EXTREMELY picky. What I really appreciated about Julia is that she really took the time to get to know what we wanted, and encouraged us to see listings, only after she did a walk through and ensured they hit our criteria. Additionally, she was super honest and would steer us away from properties that wouldn't have high resale value, too much shade, fog, structural issues etc. It was a huge time save when we live upwards of 2 hours round trip from Marin. Once we found our dream home, and after talking it over with Julia, we went in with a preemptive offer and got our home! I seriously feel like working with Julia ensured it happened. She has such strong relationships with fellow realators and made the whole process super easy. We can't say enough positive things about Julia. Seriously, she's the best. Let her go find your home! read more

My wife and I were looking for a house in Marin County for several months and had put several offers on homes without any success. We were getting very frustrated with the whole process of taking our weekends to look at homes and submitting offers only to get rejected. Then a friend recommended Real Estate Agent Julia Fitzpatrick from Own Marin who specializes in the Marin County Real Estate market. As soon as we met with her we felt a change in our attitude with the whole home buying experience. She listened to what we wanted and identified specific neighborhoods that fit our wishes. She was patient and we did not feel any pressure to make offers. Her expertise in Marin Real Estate really showed through immediately as we had been told that there were no off-market listings. But Julia showed us several off-market listings the first week we changed to her as our agent. It was invaluable to have a real estate agent specialized in Marin County as she seemed to know all the other agents showing homes and could get us quick answers to all our questions. And we had lots. We ended up finding a home that we love and was within our budget. We know we would not have gotten this home without Julia on our side. Could not be happier with Julia and Own Marin as our agent and would highly recommend to anyone! read more

Whitney Potter and the Own Marin team made our dreams come true and just last week we closed on a house in Marin! My husband and I are regular people who dreamed of Marin schools for our daughter. We were in the most competitive price bracket (read: lowest) and thought it was going to be a bloodbath to get into a house before the start of the 2020 school year. Whitney was patient, thorough and kind when preparing us for the Marin real estate market. He took us on tours peppered with details about the best school districts, down to the streets where we may be able to afford homes. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of Marin and is able to pull out stats of when a house was sold and for what price. I doubt there is anyone who knows Marin like Whitney. When I had a question about a school district on a Friday at 4, he got me an answer from the school district in 15 minutes. Seriously. With him to guide us, we were able to put together an accepted offer that was LOWER than asking. Unheard of in the school district we were after. He was strategic and diligent (sacrificing his Thanksgiving holiday!) to give our offer a competitive edge. The man does not stop working - EVER. If you want to own a home in Marin, I cannot think of anyone better than Whitney. read more

If you're looking for a real estate team to help you buy or sell a home in Marin County, look no further than Whitney Potter and Own Marin. We have now bought and sold one home and bought our amazing new home with him. He was incredible in each transaction, a clear expert in the Marin real estate market. Due to his really well established relationships within the top agent community, helped us win in multiple offers for the lowest possible price over the next offer. Then on the sale of that house, he helped us get nearly $400,000 over the asking price at a time when that was unheard of in the market. Most recently, searching for our new home was such a great experience. We were able to get inside information about local deals that nobody else had access to. Whitney found us one of the coolest houses in Mill Valley and off-market during a very competitive time. Because of his relationships and stature among top agents, he got us in before anyone else had the opportunity to see it. From the moment he heard about it to when we got it into contract was less than 24 hrs. Unequivocally, we would not be in this house today if it weren't for him. I have so much more I could say, but this is what really says it all: our level of gratitude and loyalty to Whitney is off the charts. I would not hesitate to recommend Whitney Potter as the best real estate agent in Marin County to anyone looking to buy or sell! read more

My family and I had the absolute best experience with Barr Haney and his team at Own Marin. He is clearly the top Marin country realtor and so knowledgeable, experienced, helpful, responsive and trustworthy. Barr helped us sell our multi-million dollar home in Greenbrae and we were able to sell the property off market for a great price to an ideal buyer. The whole process was extremely quick, painless and smooth and were able to avoid a massive property prep project. 5 stars all the way. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a top Marin realtor! read more

We have landed on one of the most beautiful properties in Corte Madera. Working with Whitney Potter and Own Marin made the process easy for us. Finding the right home isn't a simple task as there can be hidden issues. Whitney connected us with engineers that helped determine property issues ahead of making any offers. His knowledge of southern Marin county is excellent. Recommended lender was amazing and able to close in 15days. Hands down to the insider loop that helped us top other offers and we didn't overpay! Thank you Whitney Potter for making our Marin dream come true. read more

We worked with Julia Fitzpatrick to buy our first house in San Rafael, CA. As first time home buyers we needed someone who we could trust and guide us through the house buying process and the very competitive housing market in Marin. Julia took us on a tour of Marin to introduce to various cities and neighborhoods to get a feel for what we may like and not like. Which we found very helpful. We were less than novices when it came to buying a home, and she was so patient with us throughout the process, explaining each step and providing advice for the best way to handle every situation. After visiting many different houses, Julia got a sense for what we were looking for in a home and she found an off market listing that she was able to preview for us. It ended up being the house off our dreams! While the escrow process was quite stressful, Julia always maintained an open line of communication, remained calm, and was always open to asking any and all questions we had throughout the whole process. We would highly recommend Julia to any home buyer. Her and the Own Marin team were absolutely fantastic to work with ! read more

We have had the unique pleasure of working with Whitney Potter, founder and principal of Own Marin, on five transactions including 3 purchases and 2 sales, as we have moved around Marin County. Each time we have been really impressed with his deep knowledge of the Marin real estate market and the strategic advice he has provided us to put us in the best possible position for each transaction. Whitney was always there for us, answering every phone call and patiently walking us through all of our options. He was never pushy and we always felt as if he had our best interests as the center of his focus. We could not ask for a better agent to work with and would highly recommend anyone to work with him. read more

Barr at Own Marin was incredible to work with and helped us buy our dream house in Kentfield. My wife and I were moving back to the bay area from NYC and while we had previously lived in the bay area, we didn't know all the specifics of Marin real estate. Barr took the time to show us the various towns and found us a house before it was even listed. He worked quickly with the seller's broker to negotiate a deal that kept the house from going on the market. Barr also had an extensive list of contacts we used for inspections and was readily available to answer questions throughout the process. At a time when new house listings can be found online, it was absolutely worth working with someone who knew the intricacies of the local market and had great relationships with brokers. We couldn't be more happy with our experience working with Barr and will be recommending Own Marin to all of our friends looking for a broker in the area. read more

We met Allie Fornesi at an open house in Mill Valley. We were immediately drawn to her sense of style and sophistication... we quickly found that we were on the "same page" on many subjects but most specifically real estate. She has a keen understanding of Marin County Real Estate. She worked tirelessly showing us several properties, helping arrange Contractor meetings, etc. We absolutely love the home she sold us and couldn't be happier. If you are in the need of a very savvy Marin County Realtor who understands economics as well as aesthetics.... then look no further. read more

My husband and I used Own Marin to find our real estate agent, Whitney Potter. My husband found Own Marin by searching for the 'top real estate agents in Marin.' Whitney was nothing but friendly and professional throughout the whole process. He talked on the phone with my husband when we were looking for a realtor. They talked for 30 minutes as Whitney wanted to know everything we were looking for in a house and things we definitely did not want. When we did find a house we liked, we reached out and he came to show my husband the house that same day. We wanted to put in an offer two days later and he wrote it up very promptly. With his guidance and expertise, we put in the offer on a Sunday morning and the seller accepted it Sunday late afternoon. We are thrilled to have our own home now and truly appreciate the support and professionalism from Whitney. He made the whole process super easy and low-stress. We definitely recommend using him if you are looking for your dream home! read more

Julia Fitzpatrick and her team are really, really good at this. In short, we ended up checking way more boxes on our home-buying wishlist than we ever dreamed we could have thanks to her. We were actually recommended to Julia by more than one person, and so her reputation preceded her. Having lived in the city for a dozen years, we were somewhat begrudging in our move to the suburbs and Julia struck exactly the right chord with a) her patience while we explored other markets and b) her personality in making us comfortable (even enthused) with landing where we ultimately did in San Rafael. We gave her a tall task with a pretty narrow set of criteria and the same budget nearly everyone seemed to have, but one of the key selling points in working with Julia's team was how connected they are and the promise of unlisted off-market opportunities they get access to. Julia did a great job serving up only opportunities that met our needs while providing realistic recommendations on how we could expand our search without too much compromise. Ultimately, Julia outdid herself by coming to us with a dream home she knew we'd love, accompanied with an opportunity to steal it off the market before it's first open house (which she masterfully consulted us on how to make it happen without killing ourselves financially). Having been in our new home for a few months now, we can honestly say that we've "up-leveled" our life in a big way thanks to her! We cannot recommend working with Julia and her team any higher. read more

Selling a home can be a very stressful experience, for my wife and I it was anything but.  We contracted Barr Haney and the OwnMarin team to sell our Larkspur home of 18 years in a short time frame, while we were relocating for work to another State.  So a lot of moving parts and opportunities for stress. After meeting with Barr Haney and Whitney Potter it was clear not just how well they knew the Marin County real estate market, but also how to properly stage, price and market our home to give us the best chance at receiving multiple offers, all while ensuring we felt confident and at ease on our decision to go with them. Emily Gibson at OwnMarin managed setting up the inspections, painting, staging and photography for us, all while we were driving halfway across the country.  The whole process was amazing, went like clockwork and was completed in under 3 weeks, which allowed us to list ahead of schedule before a key bank holiday weekend.  The staging, photography and website were amazing and above our expectations. The end result was multiple offers and selling for 18% above the MLS listing price. We can't thank Barr Haney and the OwnMarin team enough for making the sale of our home of 18 years so smooth and stress free.  Needless to say, if you need a Marin County real estate agent, look no further than the OwnMarin team! read more

My wife and I were looking for our first home to buy this past summer. Living in Oakland, we were looking there and in Marin. We got connected with Allie Fornesi as our Marin county real estate agent, and she blew us away! We didn't have an endless supply of money, we both have strong opinions about aesthetics, and having both of us working while taking care of our new baby made getting to appointments challenging. Allie was not only understanding and accommodating to our needs; we felt she really understood what we were looking for, and was up front with us about when houses weren't going to be a good match. When we did find a home we were both into, she guided us thoughtfully through every stage, right down to helping us write our letter. We landed the house and couldn't be more happy to be living here. We really felt like we were in expert hands. It was clear she was very knowledgeable and working incredibly hard for us. If you are looking in the area, you're not going to find someone better than Allie! read more

Marin County Realtors Barr Haney, Whitney Potter and Allie Fornesi did a great job of tag teaming together as we went through the process of some renovations per their recommendations of simple bathroom fixtures, paint and floor refinishes. The Concierge program they have was a big help when they fronted the costs for some of the upgrades that eventually came out of the closing costs --no fees, no interest! They also put us in touch with a great stager that filled the house with a continuous style and flavor of decor that tied the house together. They were on top of the inspections that were required which were immediately followed by the open houses on Sat and Sun, then 4 offers by the following Tuesday--all over the asking price. Their follow-up guiding us through the very short negotiation stages led to a quick acceptance by all parties. I would of course use them again! read more

I cannot fathom a better real estate agent than Allie. She helped us find our dream home, was by our side through all of the emotional ups and downs of the buying experience, and we've been recommending her to all of our friends looking for homes in Marin ever since. If you're looking for a place in Marin, do yourself a favor and reach out to Allie Fornesi and Own Marin. read more

Whitney knows everything you need to know about all the pockets of Marin. Weather, traffic, schools, vibe - he'll give you an honest breakdown. Also, most importantly for us, he was laid back, patient, and very flexible with our schedule. 2020 was a brutal year for buyers and we were in many competitive bidding wars but we ended up with exactly the right home for us and know Whitney helped us land it. Go with Whitney, you'll end up with a great home and a local friend. read more

My husband and I were extremely happy with our experience with Barr Haney and Own Marin. We were relocating to Marin from out of the area and had no idea where to start looking. Barr Haney met with us personally so that he could understand our lifestyle, the activities we enjoy doing, and our wish list for our home. Because Barr is from Marin, he was able to help us narrow down our search which made it seem much less overwhelming to start the hunt. We had been told that the market in Marin was competitive, and I truly believe that having an experienced Marin County real estate agent, like Barr Haney, to partner with made it much easier. He made sure that we were 100% ready to put an offer in when had found a home. And found a home we did! Barr Haney helped us navigate the process and we were able to strategically beat out 3 other offers and close in just 15 days. We are now living in our dream home in San Anselmo. We highly recommend Barr Haney and Own Marin if you are looking for Marin County realtor to find your dream home! read more

Barr Haney and the entire team at Own Marin are true professionals in every sense of the word. We ended up finding our dream home through an off-market opportunity we would have never had access to without Barr. We can't recommend him enough and felt compelled to share our experience. My husband and I met with a few real estate agents and Barr stood out because he really knows the Marin market inside out. The other reason we chose him is because of his track record with off-market opportunities. As first-time homebuyers coming from San Francisco he did a great job of assessing our needs, giving us a really good education on each neighborhood (including downtowns, transit, school districts, etc.) and ultimately acting as an advisor on each property we looked at. I could talk in great detail about how Barr and Whitney helped us focus on the important factors at each property (vs. surface things that could be fixed), walked us through the offer process, and answered endless texts and calls. However, the single most important thing is that they matched us up with an off-market property that no other Marin County realtor had visibility into. Barr knew it was our dream house and made it happen before anyone else saw it. This is exactly why it matters which real estate agent you work with. Especially in Marin. Barr is also super fun to work with. If you need guidance on potentially adding square footage to a place, or even just furniture advice - he always has measuring tape handy. read more

After spending more than a year looking for a home in Marin I knew what we needed from a realtor. It was important to me that we find someone with deep ties in the community and a long-standing presence in Marin as a respected broker. I vetted the options personally and narrowed it down to one office, Own Marin. My husband and I have a lot of experience with real estate so we knew when we met Barr that he was the right person to represent us. He is efficient, direct and acts with integrity. I suspected that when we found the right house, he would close the deal... and he did. It took us well over a year to find a home, we did a lot on our own and took detours in the process and a few long breaks, but when we jumped back in Barr was always there to help. There was no pressure ever from him.... Barr has been respectful of us every step of the way, and since this market is tough under the best of circumstances, we were grateful for the space to pull back at times to re-evaluate. Our home was found eventually off-market. Barr negotiated intensely on our behalf, maintaining attention to every detail and he definitely caught a few important things that we missed. His communication was professional and timely and he maintained that throughout the process and well beyond closing. We are really happy with our experience with Barr and Own Marin, and highly recommend them to anyone. read more

After 17 years of living in Ross, I decided to sell my house. I was referred to Barr Haney with Own Marin by a close friend. Barr was quick to respond to my call and came prepared with realistic data on the value of my house. His initial walkthrough of my home was straight forward, and he was honest with the positives as well as the negatives of my property. This was key to my choosing him because the usual agent who lists everything in Ross did the opposite and gave me an unrealistic high estimate on what my home could sell for. Barr's second visit included, a stager, a designer, painter and the director of operations of Own Marin. As a group they walked the entire property offering suggestions on how to increase the value of the home without wasting money. Barr offered their Consigner Service which provided a $33,000 interest and fee free loan to cover all costs to prep the home. I spent half of the money and returned the full amount at close of escrow. Emily was there the entire way ensuring the project went fast and was completed to exceed my expectations. The showings were done by Barr and not by assistants. Barr was able to negotiate a price well above the listing price with terms that were beneficial to me. He ensured a smooth sale with very little effort on my part. I also used Barr to find my new dream home. I provided the parameters and he worked hard for months to find exactly what I was looking for. He was able to get the home for below ask while competing with multiple other offers. Since the purchase, he has been there nonstop helping with anything and everything I've asked. This is my fourteenth home purchase between rental and residential. Barr is, without question, the best negotiator, confidant and professional I have encountered and consider him a new friend. I highly recommend him. read more

My family was looking to find a Marin County Realtor, and we were directed to Barr Haney with Own Marin by my brother as well as close friends that also had an amazing success with Barr. He listened to our specific home criteria closely, and was able to introduce us to an off-market potential seller with a perfect matching home. We are ecstatic to be able to close on the home, and plan to move into to our own Greenbrae home soon! read more

Whitney and his team were fantastic to work with throughout the entire process. From coordinating several repairs, to staging and marketing, to negotiating the sale and getting to closing. We were able to sell above list price. Great work. read more

We worked with Whitney Potter at Own Marin for our recent home purchase and couldn't have asked for a smoother experience. From late night offer tactics to early morning showings, Whitney and Barr were available when we needed them most. Given the competitive housing environment in Marin I was surprised that what we thought was going to be a protracted multi-year process turned into a compressed multi-month search (they know the market inside and out, trust me)--into a home that felt just right for us. Whitney, Barr, and the team are the best Marin County realtors in the game today! read more

We couldn't have had a better experience working with Whitney on our home purchase in Kentfield. We appreciated how he took the time to really dial into what we were looking for as buyers and provide objective feedback on various properties, which both saved us time on showings and made clear he truly wanted to make sure we found the right fit for our particular needs. Marin is a very competitive market, and because Whitney and team know everyone in and everything about each neighborhood we felt like we had an advantage in our offer strategy as well. Finally, as a Marin native Whitney is just a wealth of information about all aspects of life in the North Bay, and continues to be an amazing resource for us on everything from schools to designers to landscapers etc. We are so happy with our new home and sincerely appreciate the support of the Own Marin team in getting us here! read more

Whitney and the Own Marin Team sold our home just recently at the end of 2018. It was such a great experience from start to finish! My husband and I found ourselves in a tight timeframe where we had to sell our house in Mill Valley, Marin County as quickly as possible. Whitney was referred to us by a friend who said "if I was selling my house in Marin County - this is the Marin County Real Estate Agent I'd use" ...we quickly realized why! Whitney and Allie came over to see our house for the first time and they jumped right in. Their enthusiasm about our property that we had put so much work into set the tone for a very positive, awesome working relationship. They immediately made a plan of action and sent us a detailed timeline for cleaning up the house, staging and going to market. Every effort was communicated clearly, openly and they gave us honest feedback for all their recommendations. They got our house looking absolutely amazing - they truly know how to rock staging and turn a home to a chic, hip, modern house that appeals to all different types of people. And they had us ready to go on the market within two short weeks. Throughout the open house and prospective buyer phase they were always on top of communications and were very direct about the progress. They were always reassuring us when we needed it and they were very flexible and easy to work with if we had to switch gears. It also meant a lot to us that they never faltered in their belief of what our house was worth and the value they saw in a property we really put a lot of heart into. In the end, while bittersweet to say goodbye, it could not have been a better outcome of finding the right buyer, feeling good about the price we landed on and coming to a positive closure on a chapter that meant a lot to us as a family. We would absolutely recommend the Own Marin team to anyone and everyone and will most definitely call them again in the future if we find ourselves buying or selling again! read more

My family and I had a great experience working with Barr Haney and the Own Marin team. We were a family of four living in the Marina District of San Francisco for 10+ years and had our eyes set on moving to San Anselmo. The market was bonkers for buyers back in April/May 2022, but having Barr made us feel like we had an ace up our sleeve. We were first time home buyers and Barr was incredibly patient about working through the details of our offer, disclosure packages, timelines, etc. It was an incredibly quick turn in a hyper competitive market - within about two weeks of working with Barr we made an offer/counter-offer that was accepted. We have been living in our new place in San Anselmo for about four months and are incredibly happy. It was great to have Barr in our corner, he was really strategic with our offer and the timing of our offer which led to a wonderful outcome. Thank you to Barr and the Own Marin team, you were wonderful to work with and I would highly recommend them if you are looking to buy in Marin County. read more

Nobody better than Own Marin. They just represented me on a sale of my home in Corte Madera, and it exceeded all of my expectations. Not to mention it was a quick sale! And if you have things that need to be repaired or updated, they have the team on hand to do it. Professionals across the board, and I would highly recommend. read more

My wife and I worked with Barr Haney at Own Marin for several months as we searched for our Marin County dream home. Barr is more than a real estate agent, he's a true partner. He understood our priorities and didn't waste our time pushing properties that didn't make sense for us. Barr grew up in Marin, so he's deeply connected to the community. His connections here meant he was made aware of off-market opportunities, which is how many sellers in Marin transact. In our case, this allowed us to act quickly and avoid multiple offer situations, and that's how we snagged our Marin Country dream home with some money left in the bank for remodeling. If you're looking for a Marin County realtor, look no further! read more

Barr Haney, Marin County Realtor at OwnMarin, was willing to accommodate our variety of interests - which included an array of properties at varying price points, locations and conditions (including some in total disarray falling off the side of a cliff to newly remodeled city dwellings). When we found the property we wanted, he secured our bid and we were successful in purchasing a home on our dream street, where homes rarely turnover. With his help and insightful guidance, we were able to submit and ratify the contract days before the set offer date in order to avoid competition. This was critical in the competitive landscape of real estate currently and without his strategy and support, I'm not sure we would have gotten it done. He was responsive, knowledgeable, well-connected, honest and enjoyable to be around. We'd recommend him without hesitation if you're looking for a smooth, low stress and successful process. Many thanks for all your help, Barr! read more

I can't recommend OWN Marin enough!!! We worked with Barr Haney, Principal of Own Marin, and had a fantastic experience. Barr recently helped us both buy our new home and sell our old home in the same month. Within a day of telling him we wanted to sell our house, we had accepted an offer without the house ever going on the market. Barr is extremely patient and very consultative in his approach, making the home buying process much less daunting as we felt we could truly trust him. Barr is an absolute pro and will make your home-owning dreams in Marin county come true. If you are looking for a Marin County real estate agent - look no further! read more
