My North Bay roots run deep. I grew up in Novato, where my parents still live, went to local schools and after college at UCSC returned to call Marin County my home. What that gives me—in addition to my real estate expertise—is a level of local knowledge, insight and a network of resources that only comes with decades of time here. I’ve always believed that home is such an important place in our lives and whether you’re buying or selling, it’s one of those big decisions that you have to get right. That’s where I come in. I genuinely love helping everyone learn and successfully navigate today’s real estate market. From day one, I’m here to take the pressure off and become your trusted guide. My sole focus is looking out for you and my process is all about making things as approachable, organized and stress-free as possible. You’ll always know what the next step is, what your options are, and what’s in your best interest. When you work with me, I’m by your side every step of the way of the home. Before starting Holmes Burrell with Jason in 2013, I was already a top-performing Realtor for over a decade at highly-regarded Bay Area brokerages like Pacific Union International and Frank Howard Allen. Over the years, I learned from some of the very best and it’s helped me build the different kind of real estate experience—with hundreds of happy clients, an amazing team and a top independent brokerage as a result. I currently live in Fairfax with my wife (who’s a local school teacher) and our teenage daughter. Being true our roots, you’ll usually find us at local concerts, on the tennis court and especially around the water. As a collegiate swimmer and team captain, I still love the pool, but these days I’m known more as “coach”, which is incredibly rewarding. I also grew up surfing and it’s a love that I’ve proudly been able to pass on to our daughter. It’s one of our favorite ways to spend time together, so you’ll frequently see us paddling out from one of our local beaches. I look forward to getting to know you and helping however I can. Please don’t hesitate to reach out and ask me anything. From the best schools in the area, to the best local eats, to the best mortgage brokers around, I’m more than your Realtor, I’m your go-to for everything.

This is supposed to be about me, but it’s really about you. Any decent Realtor can help you buy or sell a property, but it’s about so much more than just a transaction. It’s your money, your dreams, your goals, your future “home”—and that’s a fiduciary and personal duty to you I hold sacred. I know how life-changing this whole process can be and that’s why taking care of you like family is my only focus. When you put people first, it changes everything. My clients call me for all kinds of things (even years afterward) because of the relationship that we build together. They know I care. They know I have their back. They know I’ll always steer them in the right direction. They know I’m the one to call. I wouldn’t trade that for anything in the world. My love for the North Bay (especially Marin) is never-ending and I bring decades of expertise here not only as a top 1% Realtor, but also as someone who is truly local. I know the neighborhoods, the local vibes, the schools, the shops, the restaurants and everything in between really, really well. There’s simply no substitute for that local life experience and I pride myself on being the go-to guy who guides you, connects you and helps you achieve your goals here like no one else can. When I’m not doing that, I’m enjoying life in San Rafael with my wife and three daughters. One is a senior in high school, one is currently in college at UC Irvine and one is a recent graduate of UC Davis. They are my world. We absolutely love and live the active lifestyle that being in Marin offers us. From snowboarding in the mountains of nearby Lake Tahoe, to enjoying local arts, music and food, to traveling, we’re rarely sit still. I’m also an avid mountain biker—which is why I know every trail in the county—and I love tennis. In fact, my wife and I captain the mixed double team at our local club. While I love sports, just spending any kind of time with my girls is my still my favorite activity. I can’t wait to meet and welcome you to the Holmes Burrell family. I’m here to listen, guide and help in any way I can, so please look to me as someone you can always call. At the end of the day, all I need are happy clients who truly love their homes or get the best sales price. Because when that happens, everyone wins.

The Bay Area is truly one of the most unique, dynamic, and most beautiful places to call home. Marin County in particular stands out in its own right as a prime location not only for real estate but more broadly as a haven for nature lovers, culture enthusiasts, and those seeking the quintessential Bay Area lifestyle at its best. Born and raised here, I have been fortunate to call Marin County home. As an undergraduate student at UCLA, I studied abroad in Spain and further pursued a teaching career there after getting my degree in Communication Studies. Having studied and lived in Europe afforded me with a broad spectrum of experience in what real estate means both on a local and global scale. During my time in the real estate industry, I have developed an effective and comprehensive strategy for success both for buyers and sellers. When it comes to finding your dream home or selling your home for the highest price, my goal as your agent is to be a trusted partner not only from the beginning to the end of the home buying/selling process, but to be available as a resource beyond closing as well. In my free time I enjoy cooking, hiking, and yoga which I have been actively practicing for over 15 years. I currently live in Corte Madera and consider myself truly blessed to be a member of this special Marin community. I’m honored to be a part of such an incredible team at Holmes Burrell and look forward to assisting my clients in achieving success!

Realtor and Army Veteran | Local Ambassador for The HELPER Act As an Army Veteran with a law enforcement background—and the proud father of a firefighter—I have a deep passion for serving those who serve—military personnel, first responders, paramedics/EMTs, healthcare workers, and teachers. Growing up in a military family and later serving in the Army, I experienced firsthand the challenges of relocation. Now, as a dedicated real estate professional in the North Bay, my mission is to make homeownership more attainable for our local heroes.

Advocating for this initiative allows me to further support those who dedicate their lives to our communities. Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer, seller, or investor, I’m here to guide you every step of the way with expertise, integrity, and a service-first mindset. While I specialize in helping local heroes, I welcome the opportunity to assist anyone looking to achieve their real estate goals.

I got into real estate on the ground floor—literally. With numerous years of hands-on experience working with master builders, I learned every aspect of home construction and development. I know how to select the best finishes, where to invest or make improvements—and where not to. I know homes. Inside and out. And that’s to your advantage. Whether you want to ready your house for market, inspect a home prior to purchase, or make improvements once you’ve bought your home, I can make it happen—fast. I work closely with a talented team of professionals including two builder/contractors, a plumber, electrician, roofer, home inspector, structural pest inspector, structural engineer, architect, draftsman, interior designer, insurance agent, and a landscape architect. In addition to my extensive background in construction, I also bring a keen aesthetic sense to the table. Thanks in part to an early career as a classically trained tenor. Passion, determination, and dedication is what I brought to the expression of my voice. It’s what helps make me a sharp negotiator, a keen listener, a trusted friend.

HI, I’m Pam Theroux. I’ve lived in Marin County since 1992. I choose Marin for the great schools, the diverse culture, the fantastic weather and microclimates, the great beaches, the waterfalls in winter, the ease and proximity to Wine Country, Lake Tahoe and the mountains, and, of course, to San Francisco.

Moving forward in my career working with Holmes Burrell Real Estate, I am excited to continue sharing my passion for helping others. I am driven to share my passion by using my prior philanthropic experiences, a background in construction, and my love for the area I have found to live and raise my family. A native of Minnesota, I had the good fortune to be raised by parents who encouraged travel, music, art, sports, leadership, the importance of education, and giving back to the community. Spending my early years in Germany and exploring Europe formed a life-long love of the outdoors and a natural curiosity of the larger world, history, and culture. This led to working as a mentor and as a volunteer for an NGO program in Thailand, as well as teaching ESL to adults in Minnesota. Community involvement by helping and knowing others is second nature to me. Carpentry and construction have always been a passion from a young age, and I have honed those skills by working for high-end builders in Truckee, as well as working in property management and appraisal management. While the extensive outdoor opportunities of Truckee were enriching, I chose to move to even more appealing Marin County still having easy access to the mountains which I came to love. Marin also allows me to enjoy the unique lifestyle combination of incredible open space, the proximity to culturally diverse San Francisco, fantastic schools, and superb community. A proud father of two young boys, Marin is where I have chosen to settle and raise my young family. I have remodeled two of my own homes here, and have the perspective and knowledge to expertly guide buyers and sellers in the right direction, especially when it comes to questions about property condition or potential changes to a home. Furthermore, my real estate background enhances my ability to advise clients on homes as a significant financial investment. By helping people from start to finish buying and selling homes in the Bay Area I get to do something I truly love.

I grew up living in five different cities across three countries before arriving in Marin county in 7th grade. I attended Cal before graduating from the University of Oregon School of Law. I was an Associate Dean at Stanford Law School before starting a career in Silicon Valley as a founder of seven different startups. I have lived in the East Bay, San Francisco and Marin so I have a good understanding of the nuances of each area. You might be wondering why I have a Zillow profile. My wife and I have purchased and lived in seven different homes and we have invested in over 40 doors out of state. Our friends kept coming to us for advice when they bought homes around the Bay Area. We would help think through different neighborhoods, renovation ideas, pricing, contingencies, lenders, and even remodeling after the close. Our friends kept saying you should help others! Buying or selling a home can be a stressful and complex endeavor. Whether it is your first or 10th time, each transaction is unique. My goal is to serve you by leveraging my many years of building businesses, legal training, personal experience purchasing and selling property, and sincere desire to share my knowledge and skills with you. I am not striving to be the #1 realtor in Marin based on the total dollar value of properties I help buy and sell in a year. I measure my success based on my clients having a great experience and the value add I bring to the process. I would rather have fewer transactions so I can focus on each client as if they are my only client. I want to create lifelong relationships while building a community of friends/clients.
