Thorne Home Team · Marin County Real Estate
Two Realtors®. One client experience.
Naomi and Katherine Thorne work as a team so the property, the client priorities and the transaction do not live with only one person.
They stay close to the details together—from the first conversation about a move through property questions, preparation, negotiation and closing.

Why a team?
Shared context changes the client experience
Two people are useful only if they are actually sharing the work and the information behind it.
Shared context
Both Naomi and Katherine stay familiar with the property, the client's priorities and the decisions already made.
Practical availability
Real estate does not always wait for a convenient calendar. A team structure makes it easier to keep the work moving without handing the client to someone unfamiliar with it.
A second perspective
Property condition, negotiation and preparation often benefit from another informed person looking at the same facts before a decision is made.
Property-level work
The work happens in real houses
The team approach is not just about communication. It also means staying close to the physical property—what needs attention, what buyers will notice and what actually changes the decision.
Sellers
Hands-on before the listing
Seller work often starts before there is a listing date. Naomi and Katherine help identify what buyers will notice, what creates concern, which repairs or improvements make sense and which projects should stay off the list.
Their established seller work has included helping clients sort through belongings, make staging and repair decisions, and coordinate the practical work required to prepare a property for market.
Buyers
Property questions before commitment
Once a buyer becomes serious about one house, the work changes from searching to understanding.
Disclosures, inspections, condition, site, insurance, utilities, permits and future plans can all change what a purchase means.
Perspective
Experience with the decisions on both sides of ownership
Naomi and Katherine are experienced homeowners and investors themselves. That does not make every client's decision the same, but it gives them a practical frame for the costs, uncertainty and trade-offs behind ownership.
Before purchase
What does the house need now, and what is likely to become your responsibility later?
During ownership
Maintenance, improvements and future plans can change whether a property still makes sense over time.
Before sale
The right preparation plan is not automatically the longest one. It should respond to the house, the likely buyer and the current market.

Marin County
Local advice should change with the property
Housing stock, terrain, lot size, commute and buyer expectations change quickly across Marin. Advice that is useful in one part of the county may not fit the next house or neighborhood.
San Rafael
Multiple residential settings inside one city, from older central neighborhoods to mid-century and hillside properties.
Novato
Northern Marin adds different housing, lot and commute trade-offs to the comparison.
Across Marin
Start with the countywide comparison when priorities are clearer than the location.
