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.

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. His knowledge of Mill Valley real estate and the broader Marin County housing market, along with his marketing strategy and strong network, clearly helped attract serious buyers and achieve a fantastic outcome. 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.

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 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!

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.

I had a very torturous short sale which few realtors are experienced in to start with, and then had to fire my original realtor when he couldn't even manage to fax two pieces of paper competently! I got up early the next morning and said to myself ' I'm going around the offices first thing this morning and whoever is up and working at 8:00 AM, that's the one for me!' Jennifer was there at her desk - the only one in the whole city of Tiburon I might add - and the rest is history. She was on top of the process every step of the way, took over communications with my bank, set up most documents electronically since I work 300 miles away most weeks, and made the whole transaction as smooth as it could possibly be. Highly recommend! You can't do better than Jennifer.

This agency is unprofessional. There was a theft of my designer handbags (stolen out of my closed…read morecloset doors) during an open house. The agency claimed that I was the one legally responsible for this loss because I signed the typical Realtor document which absolves them of theft liability. Legally they are right. However, this was the second time in less than 3 months that the same crime was committed during an open house hosted by an agent from Frank Howard Allen Tiburon. I asked the office manager why he did not alert his clients to this type of thefts -- since the first one was committed within walking distance from my house during one of his agent's showing. At first, the office manager denied the theft. Then I gave him the police report number, the location and date of the previous theft. He reluctantly acknowledged it happened. He once again cited the legal document I had signed and said they were not liable. When I asked him if he thought I would have left any designer handbags in my closet if I had known there was a similar theft down the street in a home that they were represented, he repeated that the agency had no liability in that crime either. I will never know if an agent in their office was stealing designer handbags or if it was a random agent who needed extra cash. (We believe it was an agent because both crimes happened during the Brokers' Open.) What I do know is that they failed to disclose this crime within their brokerage until I forced them to so and that they do not care about doing the right thing for their clients. Full disclosure, I did not fire them, but I should have. There are many professional brokers in Marin and they will take care of their customers and their customers' belongings. I recommend that you work with them, not Frank Howard Allen Tiburon. The management of this office does not care about their clients or obviously their reputation.
