We had a wonderful experience working with Garrett and would highly recommend them to family and friends. His knowledge of the local market, strong ties to the community, and real estate experience were invaluable throughout the entire process. One of the things that really set him apart was his background in renovating and flipping homes. He was able to give practical insight into renovations and which improvements would actually add value. Garrett knows the neighborhoods, local resources, and people involved at every step, and he was always able to point us in the right direction. We are so grateful for his guidance and expertise and would absolutely recommend them to anyone buying or selling a home in the area.
Chris Stein and Troy Luchessi made purchasing a home in Marin County's hypercompetitive market feel manageable and even straightforward. From our first conversation, they understood not just the local landscape but our specific priorities and timeline. The moment that truly stood out came when we'd done our analysis and believed our comfortable offer price wouldn't be competitive enough. We were genuinely prepared to step back. Instead of pushing us to stretch or dismissing our concerns, Chris and Troy patiently walked us through our thinking—asking the right questions, helping us separate emotion from strategy, and ultimately giving us the confidence to settle on a number we were genuinely comfortable with that still made the cut. That's not high-pressure selling; that's real partnership. What also set them apart was their ecosystem of trusted partners. They introduced us to an exceptional mortgage lender who moved quickly on pre-qualification, removing a critical hurdle before we even made our offer. That coordinated approach—realtor and lender working in sync—cut weeks off our typical closing timeline. Throughout the process, Chris and Troy demonstrated deep market knowledge, sharp negotiating skills, and genuine professionalism. In a market as intense as ours, having partners who combine expertise with integrity and a reliable network is invaluable. They delivered exactly that. We highly recommend these two gentlemen to anyone navigating the complexities of the Marin County market!
Garrett helped us navigate and win a listing with multiple offers. his market knowledge and experience helped us craft a winning offer.
Selecting Garrett Burdick as my real estate advisor is the best decision I ever could have made. The house that he just helped me buy is actually the second wonderful acquisition that he has successfully handled for me, and if I ever needed to buy a third house, I would choose Garrett again in a heartbeat! Having decided that I wanted to live near my daughter and granddaughters for this next chapter of my life, I limited the area in which we would search, and expected it to be difficult. I need not have worried. We found a home that I love that’s only a perfect 3-minute walk from my family. Strategizing around the offer and optimizing my chances of getting this highly-desirable home was no small feat, and the stakes were high. Garrett handled everything beautifully, while maintaining high ethical standards and supporting me every step of the way. Aspects of Garrett’s professionalism and character that I particularly appreciate include the depth of his knowledge and experience, his outstanding communication skills, and the kindness snd generosity that he demonstrates every day as he consistently goes above and beyond for his clients. His collaborative approach of working closely with colleagues made me feel as though I had a full team of exerts behind me. Garrett has earned my complete trust, and I recommend him without reservation.
I had an excellent experience working with this real estate agent. From start to finish, they were incredibly responsive—always quick to answer questions, provide updates, and keep the process moving smoothly. Their attention to detail was outstanding, ensuring that nothing was overlooked at any stage of the sale. What really set them apart was their strategic approach. They brought thoughtful, creative ideas on how to position and present the home to attract maximum interest and ultimately secure top dollar. From pricing strategy to staging recommendations and marketing execution, every decision was clearly well-informed and intentional. If you’re looking for someone who is proactive, detail-oriented, and truly committed to getting the best possible outcome, I would highly recommend working with them.
Troy is hands down the best realtor we've ever had! Professional, available, responsive, and a Marin expert! He understands the market and clearly explained what to expect through the selling process. He made some suggestions for our home to make it turn key ready to sell and made sure we understood what our local competition was going to be. He had a deep resource bench of professionals for whatever was needed including stagers, inspectors, and photographers. And it worked! Got a cash offer over asking within the first week and closed three weeks later. We couldn't ask for a better experience! You definitely want Troy as your realtor!
Working with Dan was a real pleasure. He was patient beyond any expectation as we changed our minds about exactly what we were looking for a few times. He never grew impatient or angry (something I'm not sure I could have managed) . Thanks to Dan, my wife and I found our perfect house. I would recommned Dan to anyone looking for a very knowledgeable and responsive agent. He is extraordinary.

Home buying should be as easy and stressless as this transaction. Maybe purchasing without going through the loan process is the key, but the majority also has to do with your agent. Having Juan by your side is like having a parent guiding you through life. He's patient, caring, and understanding the needs of his client. He answered all of my questions, which was few because he was transparent and given my wife and I all the information/explaination in all phases of purchasing a home. Thank you, Juan for making home purchasing so stressless!
Garrett was a find! Encountered him at a showing and had no idea how helpful he would become as I navigated purchasing a new home and enlisted his help as a buyer's agent. He knew the market well, was exceptionally patient as I fine tuned my search, and invaluable with purchase and close.
Last year Troy helped us find (after a long search) and secure our dream home. Then this year we needed to sell our house of 20 years in a relatively challenging market. We had complete confidence in Troy and it paid off. All the way through the process Troy asked questions and seeked to understand our requirements and concerns. He guided us every step of the way helping make key strategic decisions like renovation work, pricing, timing, market messaging and ultimately managing the offer acceptance process. He was super invested in making this a success for us. Ultimately we ended up selling our house over asking price, in 2 days with an all cash offer and a 10-day close. It literally could not have been more ideal. As a result I unreservedly recommend Troy as a terrific realtor whether you are buying, selling or both. Not only a professional but now someone I consider a friend.
