If the idea of selling your rental in Marin while you're living out-of-the-area makes you nervous, you're not alone and you're right to be a little stressed out!
You’re in a shifting market, and the media makes it seem both like the sky is falling or NOW is the time everyone SHOULD be getting rich.
There is so much NOISE everywhere and they ALL prey on fear. The headlines will make your head spin and lead to questionable and costly decisions. You want to know if you’re making the right move with one of THE LARGEST investments in your lifetime, and you’re not sure where the right place to start. You want a profitable Exit, but you’re worried because Selling seems SUPER COMPLICATED…

And the best part is that you can do it without leaving the comfort of your home -no matter WHERE you live!
The Momentum Method for selling your rental property is designed for out of state & out of the area investors who want to get the highest price for their rental in the shortest time possible.
In a market that is having TECTONIC shifts, losing time or poorly preparing for your sale will KILL your profits and STRESS YOU OUT!

"Without doubt, your best choice..."
"As an International Property Management trainer, conference speaker and consultant, I've trained and worked alongside the very best property management companies globally. Therefore it's easy to spot a top performance business. In the USA, it's hard to find a company as good as Foundation Homes, led by Christopher and Darcy.
If you need total peace of mind with your property management, I believe Foundation Homes is easily within the top 1% in the country
for performance, service and the ability to take care of and manage your investment."
Darren Hunt
Over a decade ago, an idea was hatched...
…right in the middle of a real estate meltdown, on the back of a $17,000 inheritance, some gumption and ton of hard work, to help Marin County investors create real wealth and certainty with less stress and anxiety.
Though they’d been told “no” many times by their previous broker, co-founders Christopher and Darcy Barrow believed that rental properties in Marin deserved more than a basic ad on craigslist and a prayer that a good prospect would come a knockin’.
Darcy and Christopher believed that these properties deserved beautiful photography, creative marketing, state-of-the-art tech, and an energetic team to work together to serve the client to get the best results.
Thus, Foundation Homes Property Management was born, and with it, the vision that – by trusting The Team and our process – our clients could live the “toes-in-the-sand” landlord dream on the way to personal and financial freedom.
Turns out, this approach works REALLY WELL when it comes to selling properties as well…all without our clients ever even having to leave the comfort of their own backyard.
In the years following, over $1billion worth of properties have been managed, with thousands of transactions executed, including an average of $10-20 million of real estate sold/year and a multiple six figure investment into a success path that has made our clients millions of dollars.
For our clients, running (and selling!) their rental like a business is more than an idea, it’s a way of life with a super-charged, wealth-building engine powered by Foundation Homes’ Momentum Method.

FAQs
You have questions, we have answers

No, you can not just end the lease. You must honor the existing lease and/or give a tenant the proper notice if they are in a month to month lease. **Buyouts may be an option if the tenant agrees.
