We recently had the pleasure of working with Barr Haney as our Marin County real estate agent, and we couldn't be happier with the experience! As first-time home buyers in the competitive Marin County market, we were understandably nervous about navigating the process. Barr immediately put us at ease with his extensive knowledge of the local market and his patient, supportive approach.

From the very beginning, Barr was incredibly responsive and attentive to our needs. He took the time to truly understand what we were looking for in a home and provided us with valuable insights into different neighborhoods within Marin County. He was always available to answer our questions, no matter how small, and guided us through each step of the buying process with clarity and expertise.

What truly impressed us was Barr's skill as a negotiator. In a multiple-offer situation, he expertly crafted our offer, which ultimately beat out two other competing bids! Not only did we secure our dream home in Mill Valley, but Barr also negotiated a deal that landed us the property for under the asking price – a truly remarkable feat in this market.

If you're looking for a top-notch Marin County Realtor or Marin County real estate agent who will go above and beyond for you, we recommend Barr Haney. His professionalism, dedication, and market savvy are unmatched. Thanks to Barr, we are now proud homeowners in beautiful Marin County!

My husband and I worked with Barr Haney on purchasing on home in Marin, and it was a truly seamless experience. He was incredibly proactive in finding us off-market opportunities, allowing us to explore potential homes before they became available. We took our time to find the right house, and thanks to Barr's guidance were able to act quickly when we found it. Barr helped us submit a offer within 24 hours of the property becoming available which helped avoid a multiple offer situation and secured our dream home.

Barr's knowledge of the Marin County real estate market is exceptional, and he was able to walk us through many trade-offs of the different houses we looked at. We also really enjoyed working with other members of the OWN Marin team (especially Emily) who were equally friendly, knowledgeably and professional. Barr went above and beyond to ensure that everything went smoothly, from the initial search to closing. If you’re looking for a Marin County realtor who is responsive, professional, and has the expertise to help you move fast in this competitive market, we would highly recommend Barr Haney and his team.

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Whitney Potter on the purchase of our first home in Marin County and we had a wonderful experience working with him. Whitney is incredibly knowledgeable about not only real estate, but all of the ins and outs of Marin and the various neighborhoods. He helped guide us through our search, answered our many questions, and was never pushy (which was a breath of fresh air compared to some of the other realtors we had spoken with). We ended up finding a great house in a fabulous neighborhood and the whole process from start to finish was a breeze. If you’re looking for a top realtor in Marin County, Whitney Potter is the best!

My wife and I can't say enough good things about Own Marin.

We needed to sell my childhood home following the passing of my mother. The home required an immense amount of updates. We found Own Marin online but I contacted my mother's trusted estate attorney to ask about Own's Whitney Potter, and he said, "You're in good hands."

The attorney was right. My wife and I both juggle jobs while raising our son in another county. Throughout this sales process, Whitney was honest, up front, and highly communicative and informative. His strategies were sound, and his team (namely Emily) was highly competent and efficient. Emily effortlessly (at least she made it seem that way) managed the complex work of coordinating with contractors to prep the house for the sale, among other duties. My wife and I barely lifted a finger.

In the end, the sale was a success. I think it should be pointed out, overall, that there were moments during the sales process, while we were weighing offers, where it became particularly clear to us that Whitney has immense pride for his work. He cared more about getting the best deal than getting a done deal.

Bottom line is my attorney was right. Whitney Potter and his team are top Marin County Realtor, bar none.

My wife and I worked with Barr Haney - he was easy to work with and immediately had us tapped into listings that we wouldn't have had access to through the MLS services. We didn't work together for very long because he helped us find a home that we loved quickly. He was a great partner through the diligence and negotiation processes and helped us work our way through our first home purchase. Thanks Barr!

It was a wonderful experience working with Whitney Potter who helped me with the sale of my home in Larkspur. I’ve interviewed several agents and he stood out from the rest because he had extensive knowledge and experience and he answered all of my (many) questions thoroughly and didn’t rush through answering them. He was very easy to work with. He never pushed his own agenda but he advised and let me decide what I wanted. He was easy to reach and when not available, got back to me in very reasonable time. He handled everything personally from the beginning to the end. I was a little hesitant on fixing the landscape because I felt that I’ve already done a lot to prep work inside of my home already but I’m glad I listened to him because I think it really paid off. The house was sold swiftly even before it hit the market well above what we thought we could get for.

Barr Haney and his team were absolutely perfect partners in selling my family's home in Larkspur. I really couldn't ask for more.

Barr's team consisting of Emily, himself, and the other folks in his office were impressive from Day One and throughout the entire selling process.

I live out of town, they met me at the property, and within the time we met until our time together ended, I was convinced these were the right people for the job.

We discussed the selling price, their strategies, involvement in the local market, successes locally, and their background in Marin and it was a perfect fit. I made sure to ask if Barr would be the person actually selling the home (not always the case), he said he would, and came through 100%.

Once the process started, Barr and Emily provided detailed items that they needed from me, the explanation behind each request, and I was happy to respond quickly - knowing it would lead to success.

The entire process was a great experience and I recommend Barr and his office a million times over. Being personally involved in Commercial Real Estate, as an owner, selling my single family home and a couple of condos in San Francisco, I have experienced some good realtors, but really nothing in comparison to Barr Haney and his team.

Working with Whitney was a true pleasure, as he stands out as one of the best, if not the best, real estate broker I've ever worked with. His friendly and straightforward demeanor, combined with his dedication and hard work, make him a top-notch professional in the industry.
Whitney's deep understanding of the real estate market allows him to effectively cater to the needs of both buyers and sellers. His honesty and transparency are commendable, and I greatly appreciated his ability to grasp my needs and ensure a win-win outcome for everyone involved.
Moreover, Whitney's extensive knowledge of the neighborhood enables him to market properties in the most effective way possible. His expertise and commitment make him a trusted and reliable realtor, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a smooth and successful real estate transaction.
