Renee helped me sell my Tiburon renovation project for $2.825 million in 2024 and she did amazing!…read moreShe problem solves and does everything she can to make the process better. Her advice is always top notch and she knows the market very very well. On top of that, she can definitely sell a listing and she negotiates hard on my behalf. There are always instances where Renee negotiates to save me money or make me more money. She's also very responsive with her communication. I honestly still haven't found another real estate agent like Renee. I highly recommend her to anyone look for a real estate agent. [The review below is from 2021 that I forgot to post] - pictures are the blue house with a white kitchen] Renee was a great realtor to work with when selling my renovation project in San Rafael! I found her through her online marketing and I was impressed with her listing presentation. When it came to selling the home, Renee was very very aggressive (in a good way) with the buyers. We were expected $1,250,000, but she got us an extra $75k on top of that with a non-contingent offer. Right before that, she also told us how many buyers would come through, how many offers there would be, how much she expects to sell it for, and the exact date when the property should go on the market and she was right every single time. When it came to escrow, Renee was in control at every step and even after escrow. When the buyer had some ridiculous requests, Renee knew exactly what to say and she crafted every response and message to perfection. I felt protected, and I felt that she was looking out for my best interest. I would absolutely do business with her again and I would definitely recommend her to others!

Renee was the selling agent for our new home. She worked with the elderly couple who was moving out…read moreand spent $70k of their money to "update" the house. The kitchen was done so poorly, it should have been an embarrassment but Renee still marketed it as a "chef's kitchen". The home depot cabinets were installed backwards, there was an extra hole for the vent that installed incorrectly, shelves and knobs were missing, there was ZERO thought put into the layout (the fridge and stove were sandwiched next to each other). We have high ceilings with beams, Renee's painters literally painted over duct tape all long the beams. The "designer lighting" is from IKEA. She had the painters paint right over tile in the bathrooms and within one day of usage the paint was peeling up with every step on the shower floor. The hall closet had a new hollow door installed but was unable to be opened because of a light fixture installed in the hallway, so instead of reconfiguring the light or the doors, she simply had someone nail the closet door shut. We purchased the home with the intent to do a full remodel but I believe it is worth pointing out Renee's unethical marketing and clear intent to put "lipstick on a pig". I would never work with Renee to sell my home if this is the type of work she finds acceptable.

We had the pleasure and privilege of working with Rose last year, resulting in a terrific…read moreoff-market sale of our Kentfield home of 23 years and the purchase of a wonderful home in Novato. In fact, she helped us on both sides of the transaction, which is not a simple feat. My words will fail, but I will say that Rose was a superb counselor (we were still a bit "fuzzy" on our goals, since this opportunity arose sooner than we were really ready), powerful agent on our behalf, best advisor re the market, and wise in her understandings of the issues at stake, right down to personal items, such as keeping our dog happy! To her, this transaction was not just a "deal", but involved many personal intangibles, and she was 100% determined to make the best thing happen for us, not just close a deal. Her colleague, Jake, complemented her effort in completely superior similar fashion. AND, they are both wonderful people who I am proud now to call friends. So YES, Rose is my real estate agent/broker for life. You simply canNOT do better.

This market is insane, and there were a couple of times we started to negotiate with ourselves about what we really needed in a house; Arun helped us remember the right place was out there and I'm so glad for his forbearance - we ended up buying the perfect home and within our budget too. During the purchase phase, Arun and Michelle were super attentive to our questions and concerns, they worked closely with the listing agent of the house we ended up buying, and did I mention we LOVE the house? Not only that, we continued to receive tremendous support from them well after the close. I'd tell any friends looking to buy in Marin to talk with Holmes Burrell.

She worked…read moretirelessly to evaluate and ultimately find a profitable property with huge potential, and she negotiated the price below asking (not an easy task in Marin County!). She was invaluable in sharing her extensive knowledge about renovations, giving me quality design feedback, and sharing her vast resources of renovation professionals. As a design professional myself, I am impressed with Kim's creativity, style and understanding of residential design. When it came time to place my beautifully renovated property back on the market, she understood how to market it, showcasing what matters most to buyers with her impeccable style and taste. The property sold quickly and over ask in a tough market! During the entire process of buying, renovating, and selling my first investment property, Kim was always available to answer my endless questions or help me solve problems. There are not many real estate agents who are able to fill all the roles that she was able to fill with such professionalism and kindness. Kim is not only a savvy real estate agent, but she is also an incredibly patient and compassionate person who was able to keep me calm and encourage me to take my first leap of faith! I could not have done it without her and I am so excited to work with her again on my next real estate adventures! I highly recommend Kim to anyone looking to get the best offer on their property by making just a few smart design touches, OR for anyone who needs a realtor who can give you a creative vision of a potential property.

I've worked with Kim for probably over 10 years as a home stager for her many listings. And, as…read moresomeone who has worked with countless agents, I can say that there is just no one like Kim Baskind. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to a friend or anyone selling their home. Kim truly is a creative genius. She takes hold of a project, no matter how big or small and takes ownership of it like no other. She finds the most affordable and clever options to almost any problem that could come up. She finds creative solutions. Kim can take a house, no matter how big, small, or funky, (no matter what could be wrong with it!) and she will find the most creative, beautiful, affordable solution possible to elevate it. She has countless resources she uses. She can find anything and she does so quickly and efficiently. She has also become more than adept with color and creates a beautiful, cohesive color story throughout all of her homes. She makes our job so much easier and working with her is truly a pleasure. The product we are able to produce, as stagers working on her listings, is above and beyond any of the listings we do with other agents. Kim truly cares. She is hard-working and follows through all the way to the end. She cares about her clients. She cares about their final result. She cares about the bottom line and she cares about creating beauty. She is always patient and professional and has a wonderful sense of humor. All of us here at The Ride Studio could not love her more. Michelle Bevilacqua, Owner The Ride Studio
