Jason Holmes – Holmes Burrell Real Estate

Jason worked with me and I can’t say enough about his professionalism from my first call to the last call to him. We closed sooner than expected and I can’t be happier. I highly encourage anybody in Marin shopping for a home to give Jason a call. He’s got one if those infectious ‘can do’ attitudes and makes the whole process so easy. Absolutely five stars!

We worked with Jason for over 3 years trying to find the right home in Marin county. We were on a tight budget and very picky in terms of neighborhoods. Jason is very knowledgeable about Marin and Sonoma properties and recommended some great neighborhoods. He was really patient and was always available to show the homes. He knows a lot of other local agents which helps as a buyer. He’s high energy, super helpful and I would highly recommend him.

Jason is a rockstar! He is super cool, super patient, and super knowledgeable. He will go to every open house with you, he will open homes when they are not on the market yet for you, he will drive you around town to look at houses, he will send research and answer each and every question.
Also, he can look at a home and not only tell you what is great about it (location, etc.), he can look at a home as a contractor and tell you how it was built, what needs to be changed, if the windows are cheap and need to replaced, if he thinks there is water damage to the foundations, etc, etc, etc.
If you go with anyone else, then you are making a mistake!
In the end, we bought our dream house (and got exactly everything we wanted on our checklist) with Jason.

Jason helped us buy out new dream home. He is incredibly professional, amazingly knowledgeable about homes, construction, neighborhoods, etc. He points out the good and the bad without hesitating. I really feel that Jason has our best interests at heart.
He handled all the details to the point that I felt as if I was on autopilot.
We especially liked he had cappuccino and hot croissants in the car for the early Saturday morning appointments.
if you use anyone other than Jason then you deserve what you get.
Btw: Jason is now eligible for the «Mother Theresa Patience Award» after working with me and my wife who, coming from outside the U.S., had somewhat unrealistic expectations of what you can get for a million euros in NCA.

The fact that all of Jason’s reviews are 5 stars should be the first indication that he is your go-​to real estate agent. Jason has a ton of energy and can pretty much have a conversation with anyone (old, young, dry, comical, etc). He knows the housing market well (of course, it’s his job). More importantly, he is well-​known and well-​received by realtors in the area. Jason is super sharp and talks really fast, but is very much attuned to your reactions/​concerns/​expectations.
We have worked with multiple realtors in the past who just weren’t very helpful (so much is available online) and lacking in humor and personality. As buyers, we most appreciate realistic perspective, thoughtfulness, and timely competence — Jason easily embodies these qualities while personably staying connected and following through completely.
Recently, Jason helped us purchase our home in Novato, giving us great tips on writing a strong offer and passing along information for capable people who all helped us close escrow. He’s a busy guy, but he always returns calls/​emails, and stays involved every step of the way.
We highly recommend Jason and can’t wait to explore Marin. Thanks, Jason!

Jason just helped me sell my families home in San Rafael. He was honest, professional, helpful and always maintained a positive attitude. He found the perfect couple to purchase the house. Just can’t say enough positive things about him.

Being a first time home buyer, I have to say we didn’t know much… Jason had been so wonderful walking us through all the house hunting and buying steps. He was extremely helpful pointing things out to us that we should be aware of fro each house we saw. Once our offer was accepted, Jason was quick to set up the inspections and was present at each one, even when we couldn’t be. Overall Jason is a nice guy, easy to work with, and trustworthy.

Jason is a personable, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and accessible realtor. He stuck with me through a year of searching for a home and was patient with my ever-​changing search parameters. He responds to communication very quickly and is easy to make appointments with. He cares about his client’s needs and not a commission. He is well known and respected by other Marin realtors which is a big leg up in this competitive market. I moved my search to Oakland eventually and Jason worked with my needs to get a deal done. In short he is awesome and you should use him!

Jason is a super nice, personable guy who always has a smile on his face. Don’t let the perma-​smile fool you though, he is a top agent with a ton of experience. He recently helped sell our home in less than two weeks for $ 100K over ask. Throughout our transaction he showed genuine concern for delivering excellent service and saving us money. Hire Jason, you won’t regret it.

Jason has been the best Realtor I have ever worked with. I’ve bought and sold multiple homes on both coasts and he stands head and shoulders above all the other real estate agents I have interacted with.
My wife and I just bought a new home with Jason as serving as our agent. We’ve just moved to the Bay area and Jason has been the best advocate I could have hoped for in the buying process. He is a professional, courteous, prompt and efficient; but what truly distinguishes him is his honesty and the way he champions you and your interests throughout the process. Early in our search process, we came to trust Jason and his advice completely.
Here are some examples to explain what I mean: Jason never pressured my wife and I to buy a property. In fact, to the contrary, he often pointed out flaws in properties that I did not catch, but were ultimately deal-​breakers or required expensive fixes. In another instance, we were thinking about bidding on a home but my wife and I were not equally enthusiastic about the property. Jason simply said, don’t bid on it if you’re not both equally excited by it! And he’d always offer candid and frank advice about a property or a neighborhood – a first in my experience. Right from the get-​go, with Jason you get the feeling that he doesn’t just want you to buy a property, he wants you to buy the property that is right for you. And he’s actively engaged in helping you find it.
He also has an amazing understanding of the market and has the analytic and negotiation skills to ably represent you. In a market that is heating up, Jason helped us buy a property that had multiple competitive bids on it. He came up with a compelling offer and skilfully negotiated with the sellers – all I had to do was get out of the way and let Jason do his thing! We’re thrilled to be moving into our new home and feel privileged to have worked with Jason.
Jason has integrity. He’s smart. He’s effective. He treats you just like you’d hoped you should be. I’d give him 10-​stars if I could!

We’ve been working with Jason to purchase a home for the past 6 weeks and he has been, in a word, phenomenal. As first time buyers, we have exactly no experience or knowledge of what’s «normal» or customary in this process, and Jason was available and eager to answer all of our questions, calm all of our worries and explain all of the issues that have arisen. He’s so accessible and so knowledgeable about the area and properties; we felt like his top priority. When viewing properties, he has an eye for highlighting the good and the bad, as well as the cost impact that goes with the bad. I’ve already referred him to friends, and I intend to do so again every chance I get in the future.

Jason did an amazing job in helping us to find our dream home. He was knowledgeable about the process and always willing to help. Since this was our first home purchase, we needed it! He was honest with us about every home we saw and knew the neighborhoods really well. Jason knew what we were looking for in terms of type of house, size of house, school districts, etc. and kept us on track instead of looking at homes he knew we would not like. The house we ended up choosing was a short sale and Jason worked miracles with the selling realtor to get it done fast. We were in our new home exactly three months from the day we made the offer. Wow. We would highly recommend Jason as a true professional and the best realtor in Marin!

I have worked with Jason many times and his clients always rave about his service. I am a mortgage lender and I work with many agents but Jason stands out from the crowd.
He has excellent listen skills and phenomenal negotiation skills which combined together always makes for a happy home buyer/​seller; his clients always get what they want.
In the industry his name is gold and I highly recommend his service.

We had been planning a move back to Marin county from Utah for several years. We contacted Jason early on and he patiently worked with us during that time to find us the perfect place, never losing his enthusiasm or optimism that we would finally get the house we wanted. Despite the lengthy time period in our search we always felt that we were Jason’s first priority. We were always impressed with his knowledge, professional savvy and, in particular, his commitment to our search for a home in a very difficult market. We are experienced homebuyers and have worked with many realtors in some 40 odd years of buying homes. Jason has been, by far, one of the best realtors we have ever worked with and we would not hesitate in giving him the highest possible recommendation.

Jason was amazing to work with! He helped us sell our home and then purchase a short sale. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional and patient. He kept us informed every step of the way. I would highly recommend him to anyone either selling or buying a home. Jason made the whole process much easier for us!

Jason is an excellent realtor. We worked with him when we were looking to buy a home, and he was always upbeat and energetic, but also patient with us when we were extra-​choosy or wanted reassurance about the process. He has tons of experience and is really committed to helping you find a home that you love. When we did find that home, it was a tricky situation, and Jason helped us navigate the process very smoothly. I highly recommend him!

Jason is the best realtor I’ve ever worked with. He was very patient with my wife and I as we are pretty picky. He was always extremely helpful when we went to look at homes, pointing out everything that we should be aware of, both good and bad; things such as how old the roof looked, what types of maintenance would be required, etc. He is always on your side and has your best interests in mind.
During the whole process of buying our home, Jason wanted to make sure we knew exactly what was happening and why.
We never had a problem getting a hold of Jason. Customer Service at its finest!
Thanks Jason!

We were anxious first-​time home buyers, but Jason helped make the transaction a breeze. Jason used his connections to find the best deal possible for us. We highly recommend him.
