Own Marin | Top Marin County Real Estate Agents | Barr Haney + Whitney Potter - Corte Madera, California

We can't thank Barr Haney and Whitney Potter of Own Marin enough for making our dream of owning our first home in Marin a reality!

From the moment we met Barr, we knew we were in good hands. His extensive knowledge of the Marin market, combined with his exceptional negotiation skills and unwavering dedication, made the entire home-buying process seamless and stress-free. Barr's expertise and guidance were invaluable, helping us navigate the competitive market and find our perfect home. His attention to detail, responsiveness, and commitment to our needs were impressive and appreciated. He also helped us beat out four other offers and still get the property while not even being the highest offer!

In addition to Barr's best-in-class support in helping us close, Whitney Potter was an amazing and patient partner in helping us find our dream home. He identified the house we ultimately purchased over a month before it hit the market, and it's especially thanks to his proactiveness that we were able to close the deal in this competitive market.

The whole team at Own Marin is truly top-notch. Big thanks again to both Barr and Whitney for helping us achieve this milestone. We're thrilled to be homeowners!

Whitney Potter and his team at Own Marin made the sale of our Mill Valley home a success, well beyond our expectations. Whitney’s meticulous attention to every detail and confident guidance helped us sort every problem that inevitably arises when planning the renovations and marketing of a property. His unparalleled knowledge of Marin County’s real estate market, combined with his consummate management and marketing skills, relieved us of all concerns.
Whitney’s success rests on careful and strategic calculation, on humility and transparency, perfectly balanced with his expert knowledge of the market. We are immensely grateful for Whitney’s impeccable professionalism, unwavering dedication, saintly patience and sincere, kind and caring advice. We can’t overstate how pleased we are with his work and wholeheartedly recommend him and his team. Be it a seller or buyer, one can’t be in better hands.

My wife and I had an incredible experience working with Barr and Whitney. We are moving from NYC to Marin and the entire Own Marin team was always available to take our call, run to an open house, and provide us advice on certain neighborhoods.

Not only that, but they were amazing at getting us a deal that was great for us. We were not the highest bidder on a property, but because of their preparation, our bid was ultimately accepted.

I would recommend Own Marin if you are looking for a real estate agent that you know will have your back and that has the experience and expertise to navigate the challenging Marin market. Thank you, Barr and Whitney!

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!

We were so lucky to find Whitney Potter. His deep knowledge and expertise helped us navigate a very competitive market with low inventory. We especially appreciated his patience and guidance as we searched for the right home.

In a place like Marin, having a great agent makes all the difference and Whitney truly delivered. He brought us many off-market and pre-market opportunities, giving us a real advantage over other buyers.

In our view, Whitney is the top Realtor in Marin County. Highly recommend!

Working with Whitney Potter was such a positive experience for us. From the beginning, he really took the time to listen to what we were looking for and gave us honest, thoughtful advice along the way. He was always patient, and walked us through every step of the process. Anytime we had a question (and we had plenty!), Whitney was quick to respond and always had helpful answers. He made a stressful process feel much more manageable.

We're really happy with how everything turned out, and we wouldn't hesitate to work with him again. If you're looking to buy or sell a home, we definitely recommend Whitney!

We used Bar Haney who was one of the better buyer's brokers I have worked with in over 12 transactions.

Bar responds in seconds when needed and never pressured us in any way.
He is good at working with the selling broker which is key in a hot market and multiple bid offers.

Own Marin in general is very familiar with our market and not beholden to a mass market realty firm which IMO, ads little value even for listing your property.

OwnMarin was recommended to us by friends who were very happy with Barr and his team when they sold their home a few years ago. We were initially unsure about working with a smaller firm given our misconception at the time that off-market listings were best handled by large firms with many brokers. Turns out there are no off-market broker restrictions in Marin and we are thrilled that we made the choice we did. In fact, Barr not only found our new home off-market but sold our old home off-market as well. He guided us through the staging process with great advice on what modifications could really enhance the value of the property and then he and Emily made it all happen by negotiating with stagers, contractors and handymen (all of whom they already knew and were terrific). OwnMarin showed up every day at our house to make sure the work got done quickly and correctly, then guided us through strategy and the negotiating process. We were grateful that they also worked with us on both interpreting and then identifying disclosure items for both homes, making the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. It was a true pleasure to work with Barr and Emily and we would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Marin.
