We met John when we contacted him regarding a piece of property that he was showing, which wasn't a…read moregreat fit for our family. John did a great job of asking us about what we were interested in, learning about our family, and trying to understand what would be a good fit for us. He showed us a few houses and we made an offer on one of the first few that we saw, but unfortunately, we were outbid and pretty bummed. John coached us through the process and helped us remain positive. He ended up finding an even better home for us, which turned out to be our dream home. John not only helped us land our dream home, but he also helped us sell the house that we were living in. John understood that we were pretty anxious about owning two homes with two mortgages, so he gave us some great advice to prepare the house to fetch top-dollar. We had a strong open house and received 5 offers all over asking the first weekend that we listed the house. John guided us through the offers and ultimately helped us choose which one made the most sense for us to move forward with. We had a wonderful experience working with John, he's a great communicator, a good person, and a very funny guy. He went above and beyond every step of the way, so we feel very fortunate to have met him, and look forward to working with him again one day!

I bought and sold 3 properties in Marin prior to being introduced by a close friend to John, so I…read morecan say with experience that John is SO much more than a typical realtor. John helped me sell my home following a divorce. He recommended the work that should be done, and what work would not add value. He had contacts for all the projects/inspections and helped stage the house so we were able to get the property on the market quickly and truly sell for top dollar. He then quickly pivoted and navigated a tricky purchase with a remote owner, tenants in the property, and a non-local realtor. He negotiated a fantastic price and connected me with the best mortgage partner!! Again he had all the people needed for the fixes before we moved in. John was so fantastic he just helped my ex buy his house!! John knows how important my kids are and was dedicated to getting them the best place to live while spending time with their dad! (John is fantastic with kids, they can be opinionated customers)!!! I highly recommend John to anyone looking to buy or sell their home in Marin!

My wife and I were referred to Stacy and Vince by a realtor that worked with my mother since we…read morewere first time homebuyers looking in Marin county, and I must say how incredibly fortunate we were to work with them throughout the whole buying process. As anyone can imagine as first time homebuyers, we were very overwhelmed and had a lot to learn. But what made it so much smoother and reassuring was having Stacy and Vince there to guide us. They were all about making sure they were looking for the things we wanted but also setting realistic expectations. We never felt any pressure to go in a certain direction when looking for houses. They always made sure to inform us of everything from looking at a specific house to the gritty details of mortgage loans. They were very approachable and also took extra time and effort to check in on us. It honestly felt like we were their only clients. Stacy and Vince are an amazing team, and you can really tell that they care both about their clients and their practice. I highly recommend anyone who is looking in the Marin area to reach out to them. We are extremely grateful we did as they really are Marin's Finest.

She keeps in touch with us and invites us to fun client events all the time. If you are looking at buying or selling I suggest you get in touch with Jennifer Bowes.

Working with Marie was honestly a really disappointing experience. As a first-time buyer, I was…read morenervous to begin with and was hoping for someone who could make me feel more confident. Instead, I left every interaction feeling the opposite. Right away, she smelled like booze, which threw me off and didn't make me feel like I could trust her to handle such an important process. On top of that, she made repeated comments about my southern accent, saying things like how "buying a house in Marin with an accent like that" would stand out. It felt really judgmental and unnecessary, and it made me uncomfortable the whole time. Buying a home is stressful enough -- the last thing you need is an agent who makes you feel judged and uneasy. I wouldn't recommend Marie to anyone, especially if you're hoping for a professional who can actually support you through the process.
