Buying a house is exciting and hopeful but also stressful. Gary Newman helped us through every…read morestep of the process, including alleviating the stress. We moved to Marin County from San Francisco and knew little about the neighborhoods here. Gary, a native of Marin, helped steer us correctly with his vast knowledge of the county, the real estate market, and his quick uptake on what we liked and didn't. He was encouraging and never pushy. We toured a lot of houses over many months, and during the year of Covid, that required Gary to arrange and escort us on every visit, as there were no open houses. He was patient, attentive, and very kind and helpful with my husband who was recovering from a broken hip, especially important for any steps or entries without handrails. So aside from his vast knowledge of real estate, Gary is an exceptional human being, the kind of person you want in your life as a friend. In the end, he found the perfect house for us and helped us navigate the hot market of multiple bids to be sure that we would be the successful buyers. He always went above and beyond for us. We could not be happier with our new house and location, and we will be eternally grateful to Gary. We recommend him 110%.

Gary helped us purchase our first home in Marin on a pretty tight budget, which is no easy task!…read moreGary stuck with us through viewing after viewing, putting in multiple offers, fielding our many (MANY) questions, and changing our "wish list" a few times as well. Gary always made time for us - even with last minute notice, worked with our schedule, and was incredibly responsive. When it came down to finally getting into escrow, Gary ushered us through the process with kindness, attention to detail, professionalism, and grace, helping us close what we still feel was an excellent deal. We also discovered a slight issue with the title during the escrow process and Gary has gone out of his way to be helpful in sorting things out - many months later, Gary is still available whenever we need him to make sure the issue is resolved. In addition, Gary knows the Marin housing market extremely well, and that knowledge proved invaluable when buying a home here. Then, after we closed escrow, and we needed work done quickly, Gary had contacts for excellent contractors! As if all of the foregoing isn't enough of a reason to work with Gary, you can trust him. Being able to trust your realtor is of paramount importance since, as a buyer, one is in the somewhat difficult position that the seller actually pays the realtors fee. Gary has integrity, and for that reason alone (though all of his other, fantastic qualities and qualifications don't hurt!) if we ever decide to sell our home and buy another, Gary is the only person we'll call.

I can't speak highly enough of my experience with Eric Pangilinan. I was a first-time homebuyer…read morewith very little knowledge about how to find the right place. He's a true pro; from the work he did prior to the exploratory trip, great communication during the search, timely on-going communication, and then most importantly through the inspection and closing process. And his price analysis was a precise exercise in which his knowledge of the neighborhood provided insight into the market. Also, I was never felt forced to make an offer but was given enough data points to make an informed decision. What is most important, from initial search through escrow closing, Eric was my advocate I put my trust on him and it paid off. I am more than happy to recommend him. If you are a buyer or seller I would highly recommend Eric.

I am happy to share my outstanding experience working with Brent as our real estate agent.

From the moment we began this journey, Brent demonstrated a deep understanding of the market and an unwavering commitment to finding us the perfect home. We were picky!

Brent as a person was very approachable and very reachable - always answered my text, call or email.

I'd wholeheartedly recommend Brian McCarthy to any of my family and friends. My wife and I…read moreinstantly connected with him when we met at an open house at the start of our home search. He quickly earned our trust by following through on everything he promised, answering my flurry of questions thoroughly and fairly, and staying consistently responsive throughout the process. A bit about our journey: after a rich, informative conversation with Brian about the home search process, he guided us through pre-approval, prepared us for open houses, and ultimately helped us find our home. He offered fair, client-focused advice--never pressuring us--and flagged potential issues with respect while suggesting multiple strategies to address them. To make our offer competitive on our dream home, we went with a 14-day close--a whirlwind that Brian helped make far less stressful with his steady counsel and guidance. We just closed, and my family and I are incredibly grateful for Brian's support in starting this new chapter of our lives. What you can expect when working with Brian: - Knowledgeable, warm, and responsive service - Trustworthy referrals to lenders, inspectors, and more - A no-pressure, client-focused, transparent experience - Strategic and tactical guidance within your target market - Someone who prioritizes your success and happiness If you're not fully convinced by this stranger on Yelp, schedule some time with Brian--you'll see for yourself. Best, Jonathan

My family could not recommend Brian more as a realtor. Brian was referred to us from two of our…read morefriends, and he was such a great fit. He was always positive, yet realistic when navigating this current housing market. We were deciding on which area to settle - Oakland, El Cerrito, Richmond or Alameda, and Brian was so knowledgeable about the different areas. He was really patient with our family as we narrowed down which city - and even which neighborhood within the city - that we wanted to live in. It was very clear that he felt his role was to help us find the right home - not just any home. He has a strong passion for his job and was available to show us houses - even outside of open house times. Oftentimes, we had our 1 year old with us, and he was really great with her too. He was available via text and phone call, and really accommodated our preferred communication style which was really convenient since we were in the throes of being new parents while also looking for a new house. We also really appreciated that by working with Brian, we not only got a realtor, but a team of support that helped to wrap around us to make the homebuying process less unnerving - this means, guiding us for when to get pre-approvals, providing recommendations for banks for the loan, etc etc. We have now closed on our house, and we could not be more excited. Even as we prepare to move in, we know that Brian is there as a resource to help us as we navigate any needed repairs and any questions that pop up along the way. If we ever need any support with buying and/or selling a home again, we will definitely be contacting Brian.
