What Marin Says About Working With Michael
Real, verified five-star reviews pulled straight from Google, Yelp, and Zillow.
Michael is one of the most dedicated brokers I know. Being from the area, his wealth of knowledge for the North Bay and even his ability to stay current on different loan programs is unmatched. Also — he actually picks up the phone! Highly recommend!
I had the good fortune to meet Michael during a mutual buyer's bid for a very desirable property. He was able to negotiate very good terms for her and worked with me to keep the escrow on point. I highly recommend his services as part of your first call.
We had our doubts — we'd been trying to buy in Marin for 4 years, and the minute we mentioned our VA loan, doors closed on our offers. Michael persuaded the seller our VA loan was just as strong, then put all his skill and knowledge into making the deal successful for everyone involved.
I had such an amazing experience with Michael from start to finish! He understands the local markets in detail and guided me to the right price point, with advice on staging and more. His calm, pragmatic demeanor was so vital during my moments of doubt. I'm a huge fan!
Michael advised that we start our initial offer a little lower than we'd first thought. This ended up paying off since the counter was lower than what we planned on offering — saved us thousands. His connections in the area were unmatched. As long as he's in the business, I won't be using another broker.
Mike worked with me endlessly to find the perfect fit. He was patient, flexible, available last minute and very responsive. He worked with a sense of urgency, especially given how competitive the market is. Thank you Mike!
Most Buyers & Sellers Get Left Behind.
You Don't Have To.
Marin County is one of the most competitive markets in the nation. Bidding wars erupt overnight. VA buyers get shut out. First-timers feel invisible. Without the right broker in your corner, you lose — every time.
Buyers Getting Outbid
In Marin, homes sell over asking within days. Without a broker who structures winning offers before the competition shows up, your dream home goes to someone else.
Sellers Leaving Money Behind
Without expert staging, multi-channel marketing, and skilled negotiation, your home sits longer and sells for less. Every extra day on market costs you.
Navigating Complexity Alone
VA loans, 1031 exchanges, trust sales, probate — the wrong agent doesn't know where to start. You need a certified specialist who has done it hundreds of times.

Michael Wayne
"Action Jackson"
Licensed Broker · Negotiator · Champion
In his prime, Michael Wayne Jackson was drafted by the Texas Rangers, then signed with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays — playing right field in professional baseball. He turned down the Oakland A's. That competitive DNA never left him.
Armed with a B.A. in Psychology from Sonoma State and 19+ years mastering the Marin market, Michael fuses the mindset of a professional athlete with the emotional intelligence of a trained psychologist. The result? He doesn't just negotiate — he wins.
His clients started calling him "Action Jackson" because deals get done and you never wait. He mobilizes a full team of contractors, painters, and stagers so your home commands top dollar before it ever hits the market.
