Jason helped my sell my house in Fairfax and wow, what a great service he did me. My house was a bit challenging in that there were many contracting issues to deal with and I live out of town. He was on top of everything and helped me find the people i needed to do the jobs that had to be done. He is the perfect real estate agent for a person like me who wasn't physically present and had lots of tasks to do. I can't speak highly enough about him on that front.
Also, he was positive and upbeat about things and in general just a joy to be in contact with. I highly recommend him!

Jason did a wonderful job selling my home at 1108 Elm Drive in Novato. I was living in Washington State, flying for Alaska Airlines. Jason coordinated everything. A remodel and the staging of the home as well as a few permitting issues that came up. To say he went above and beyond is selling his efforts short. I would send friends and family to work with Jason if they were buying or selling in Marin.

Not trustworthy!
I worked with Jason Holmes to purchase a duplex in San Rafael in March 2018, and it turned out to be nightmare. He knows the realty business well and pushes the boundaries of the laws for his personal benefits but not for his client's. Here is why:
1) Disclosure Issue: He sent one of the disclosure forms for me to sign on the day of closing escrow that there was a break-in in the property in the past. He blames the listing agent and others and doesn't take the responsibility.
2) Open Permit Issue: There is an open permit issue around the decks and stairs. The seller didn't want to deal with it. During escrow before removing contingency, he said that I can sell the decks "as is" and didn't clearly inform me of the implication of not having the seller pull the permit on decks and stairs during negotiating. In the meantime, his home inspector praised on the decks out loud, "the decks are well built!". As matter of fact, I found out later that the decks and stairs got potential safety issues and learned that as new owner I am required to pull the retro active permit now and bring everything up to the code.
3) Violation of Privacy: He included private information of other client of his in one of the disclosure forms that he asked me to sign.
This is my first home buying experience in Marin county, I relied on Jason to guide me and help me to make sound decision for every steps of the buying process. He failed to fulfill that contract in my view. Working with him and his home inspector led me to making compromised decisions in negotiating price with seller.
I would be extra careful if you have to work with him to buy or sell as you don't know where the traps are. Based on my experience, it is highly unlikely he will guide you to light particularly if it is a big ticket item that would break a deal.
