"Wonderful Experience!"

Working with Liz McCarthy and her team was such a wonderful experience. Each team member is knowledgeable and diligent in their respective area of expertise. Selling my house with them was such an easy process.

Maya D.

"Got our dream home!"

Liz is amazing at what she does and incredibly humble for how good she is. It was a breeze getting our house with her help. We went up against 4 other bidders in a very difficult market to buy in and still got our dream home! You will be very happy with her work - I truly mean this.

Chelsea Nova

"Awesome Team!"

From initially reaching out to Liz after she was suggested by HomeLight to coming up on our final walkthrough, Liz and her team (and by team, I mean TEAM) have been amazing. I wanted to move quickly and Liz and her team were ready to move just as fast as I was. This was my first homebuying experience and Liz was incredibly helpful in explaining everything to me - even when I felt like a bother. At one point, the Seller's Agent was getting a little terse, but Liz always responded with patience and grace. I was more than happy to be represented by her and would recommend her and her awesome team to everyone.

"A Ruthless Negotiator"

We just bought our dream home in Lucas Valley (San Rafael) and couldn't have been more pleased with Liz throughout the entire purchase process. She's super on top of every detail, is a ruthless negotiator and knows everything there is to know about homes and buying the right one for you. Liz is super well connected (and well liked!) in Marin which gives her a big leg up from other real estate agents out there. You're in great hands with Liz and my wife, son and I thank her for her help this year!

"No one compares with them"

Liz and Shenna lead this top-notch Marin County real estate team. Zena is the grand orchestrator that keeps their well-oiled machine humming like a Tesla! They are competent and friendly; they are the ones you want to have on your side to buy or sell a home. Always professional and hard-working, we always received the latest updates in the sale process. I've done 30 real estate purchases and sales in the last 40 years-no one compares with them. Wonderful and meaningful experience buying our condo home in Greenbrae.

"What an enormous blessing you were when I needed it most."

You truly pulled a rabbit out of the hat. You took a toad (uglier than a frog) and somehow turned it into a prince!! I would have not thought it was possible, yet you did it! You are a real miracle worker. Thank you so much for your patience, understating, and listening to my sad tales of woe. What an enormous blessing you were when I needed it most.

"Thrilled"

It was a pleasure working with Liz McCarthy and her team. They made the sale of my home happen seamlessly from start to finish, including repairs, staging, and project management. I could not be more thrilled with the results.

I could not have found a better agent to sell my property. Liz McCarthy and her team are extremely professional, efficient and talented.

Darlene P.

"Simply the best!"

Liz McCarthy and her team did an amazing job selling our home for top dollar for our neighborhood. They have an incredible concierge service that landscaped, updated and staged our home beautifully. Liz was a such a pleasure to work with she listened to all our questions and was so very knowledgeable and connected. I've been buying and selling real estate for 35 years and this was by far the most well executed home sale and we give Liz and her team our highest recommendation.

"Helped me get the perfect property in a challenging market."

Liz and her team helped me get the perfect property in a challenging market. She expertly guided me through the pricing and negotiating process so I was able to get the house that I wanted at a competitive price. After our offer was accepted, Liz and her team guided me through closing, finding contractors, working with the neighbors, etc. Liz has deep and extensive knowledge of real estate, coupled with a dedication to her client's goals and patience with the bumpy journey of getting there.

Gail G.

"Liz was integral in every step of the process"

Liz was integral in every step of the process, from identifying our needs as a family while taking our wants into consideration, to showing us properties off our radar and/or not even hitting the market yet, to finally helping us close on a house we surely wouldn’t have had a shot at without her negotiation skills and strategy.

Gabi P.

"Going the extra mile!"

Due to some quick life changes, I had to find "my perfect home in Marin" in a short period of time. Not only was Liz McCarthy understanding , supportive and professional but also very organized and accessible. She spends the time evaluating your needs and helping you formulate a realistic plan. She shows you homes that meet this criteria so you don't waste your time. She has her pulse on all the background information of the homes too. When you are ready to make an offer, she expertly guides you through the process and gives you clear simple instructions on what you need to do to get the house. She goes the extra mile! I could not have done it without her. We are very happy in our new home!
