The Mission & The Values
Want to know a little more about who you might work with?
The Mission
We help results-driven landlords of $1mil – $5mil+ homes in Marin County who want to make more money with their rental and avoid problem tenants by delivering performance-built property management and watching the bottom like like a CFO….So you can focus on what’s really important:
Living the landlord life (as we say,”toes-in-the-sand”) for personal and financial freedom.
And that, my friend, is what’s known as real estate’s Unfair Advantage.
We’re a Fit For You If You Are Looking For…

Results in Your Market
We’re hyper-focused in who we serve: $1mil – $4mil rental homes in Marin. Some property management companies handle everything: HOA’s, different types of apartment buildings, lower-end properties, etc, or stretch their employees thin by taking on every listing that comes their way.

Giving Back
A portion of commissions earned each year by The Team at Foundation Homes goes to support local charities, with an emphasis on non-profits supporting children and animals without homes in Marin County.
Our team is an annual supporter of Marin Foster Care Association’s Dance-a-Thon (Have you seen our dance videos!? Come dance and raise awareness with us each year!) and Blues-n-Brews, where Darcy serves an Advisory member of the MFCA board.
Additional philanthropic efforts include an Annual Feeding America campaign over the holidays, with donations made in our clients names, The Marin Humane Society, Sparkle (a non-profit in Novato serving single mothers), Adopt-a-Family Marin, multiple educational initiatives and many more.
