My Sold Listings
“My husband and I are first-time home buyers and learning the ropes of not only home buying in general, but the fast-paced and competitive market in Marin seemed very overwhelming at first. However, once we started working with JoAnne, we knew we had a great partner that would give us well-informed and timely guidance. JoAnne was incredible partners for us through this entire process. She was extremely knowledgeable about the area, key things to look for in a house, and the Marin real estate market. She was also very responsive (via email, text and phone) and was always on top of deadlines to ensure that we didn't miss out on any homes we were interested in. Lastly, JoAnne was incredibly patient with my husband and I and was a great teacher - carefully explaining all parts of the process and ensuring we were comfortable with any decisions that needed to be made. If you work with JoAnne in Marin, you will definitely be in good hands!”
“Thanks again for all you did! I think you did a great job getting us to market quickly and launching the house to other realtors in a way that blew their socks off and generated a lot of interest. You also did a great job handling the offers (and taking us off the ledge!)...thanks again. ”
““I would give JoAnne 5 out of 5 Stars! She was fantastic! Her advice was always sound and her follow thru on our requests was as close to immediate as humanly possible. We definitely plan to continue our relationship with JoAnne.””
““When we decided to buy a house in Marin, we knew we wanted to work with JoAnne. Not only does she have an amazing reputation, but she is a long time family friend and we knew we could trust her to help and guide us through this process. As first time home buyers/owners, we were very nervous about finding a home we could afford in Marin, but JoAnne made us feel comfortable and at ease. Her knowledge of the real estate market in Marin is exceptional. She knows the pros and cons of each neighborhood and really listened to what we liked and didn't like about homes we looked at. When we eventually put an offer on a house in San Rafael, JoAnne's sense of how much we should offer was right on and we got the house! As we went through the negotiating process and signed all the paperwork, she explained everything so clearly and helped us feel comfortable. I highly recommend JoAnne to anyone who is looking for an agent. She's not only a lovely and wonderful person, but she's calm, knowledgeable, smart, well-respected by other agents, and knows the market. We promise you'll be in good hands!””

““I worked with JoAnne when I decided to relocate to Mill Valley from London where I had been living for almost 20 years. As I had less than no knowledge of the area, I relied heavily on JoAnne to find the right property for me and my family (and dog). JoAnne listened to all my parameters and found a great rental property that fit my family’s needs, and my budget. We were so impressed with her work that when we decided to buy a property, it was only natural that we would use JoAnne’s services again. She delivered again, no surprise there!””
“I was so excited when my fiancé and I decided it was time to buy our first home, but it didn't take long for us to realize the home buying process is far from a fairytale experience. Thank goodness we had JoAnne! In addition to her flawless reputation, JoAnne had helped many of our friends and family members with their real estate needs; as such she was a no brainer choice for our agent. JoAnne, who specializes in residential real estate in Marin County, gladly accepted the task of helping us find a home in Sonoma County. She took it upon herself to learn all about the areas we were looking in and spent countless hours in the car with us driving from Marin to Sonoma. She displayed what seemed like endless patience as we dragged her from Petaluma and Sebastopol to more remote areas like Forestville and Bodega Bay. She helped me to create a clear vision of what I was looking for in a home and then helped me to prioritize what was really important. She sat with us and went through every line of the contract, answered all of our questions without a hint of frustration and helped us to learn from every offer. JoAnne was always willing to share her opinion and was always our biggest supporter, even when we didn't follow her advice. When we got into contract, JoAnne was there with us till the very end, helping with every aspect from inspections to paperwork signing. Whatever your real estate goals, JoAnne is a sure bet. She is supportive, kind and accessible, and I cannot speak highly enough of her work ethic, patience and wisdom. Although I am ecstatic to be a homeowner, I will truly miss my weekend trips with JoAnne. I can say with the utmost confidence that when we are ready to sell, JoAnne will be the first person we call! You cannot go wrong by choosing to work with JoAnne Berlin.”
