About The Momentum Method
Sell your rental properties faster, while saving money & reducing stress without having to leave your home or manage repair or turnover.
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 it's not your fault.
You’re in a shifting market, and the media makes it seem like the sky is falling or NOW is the time everyone SHOULD be getting rich… Trying to keep up with all the noise on TV and in the headlines will make your head SPIN and can lead towards questionable and quite possibly 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…
It's time hit the EASY button and become one of the success stories, by gaining the clarity and certainty to unlock a profitable sale.
And the best part is that you can do it without leaving the comfort of your home!
Turning everyday landlords whose tenants cause problems and damage their properties into profitable powerhouse landlords living the toes in the sand lifestyle on their way to personal and financial freedom.
The story of us:
When a boy from a single mother raised in the flood prone streets of Santa Venetia met a girl from the hills of Malibu one foggy San Francisco evening in the year 1999, no one knew from looking at her baggy Jnco jeans and CD collection or at his multiple earrings and used Honda Accord (leather seats) that the two would one day build a life and run a company together, making their clients millions of dollars in the process.
But two decades later that’s exactly what they did!
Having worked long hours and doubles in the restaurant and entertainment industry in LA, hustle has always been Darcy and Christopher’s middle name.
✔ 12 hour shifts serving lobster on the beach at Jonathan Club in Santa Monica for minimum wage while getting your real estate license
✔ Rescue cats and Hollywood purse chihuahuas?
✔ Sushi and cigars with celebs and producers? (there’s a good story that goes with this one)
✔ College Student by day – Waiting on A-Listers by night
CHECK. CHECK, CHECK!!!
A Stage III colon cancer diagnosis for Christopher at age 28 didn’t slow them down, but it did bring them back to Marin County where Christopher was born and raised.
Tackling IVF and adoption to start a family, didn’t slow them down either, nor did surviving an IRS and DRE audit in the process, or those early months of running the company when they sometimes couldn’t afford to pay themselves so they could make payroll.
In fact, one innocent mistake would end up costing them $100k and almost lost them their business…
…before they WOKE UP and learned that sometimes hustle on its own isn’t enough…and learned the game changing, money making, LIFE CHANGING value of PROCESS , PLANNING and PROTECTION!
Because Successful Investors know that getting lucky is nice but GENERATING LUCK is how you get rich!
And that’s where the REAL story begins…
Hi! We’re Darcy and Christopher Barrow, co-founders at Foundation Homes Real Estate.
Since opening our doors in the middle of a Real Estate melt down in 2010 we have negotiated over 3000 lease and sales transactions combined, managed over $1billion dollars in real estate and have an average of $250mm under management at any given time with over a 99% success rate of on-time rents, no evictions and Fast PROFITABLE Sales!
And the BEST part is that our clients have been able to generate cash flow and CASH OUT while living outside of Marin using THE MOMENTUM METHOD.
We know that selling a rental property is different than selling your personal residence especially if you are living out of the area- There are tenants, turnover, travel, inspections and a lot of other obstacles that can delay a sale and ultimately cost money- which is why we created THE MOMENTUM METHOD so sellers can have the protections and profitability that they deserve!
If you refuse to settle for second best, because you’ve worked hard and you’re ready to play hard…
And if you own a rental property in Marin County valued from about $1mil – $5mil that you’re looking to maximize to fuel your family’s passions…
You’re in the right place.
