The Agency is proud to welcome Eric McFarland, a seasoned real estate professional who brings with him over 20 years of residential real estate experience. He joins the firm, affiliated with both The Agency Marin and The Agency Palm Springs - enabling him to seamlessly serve his clients in both markets. As Managing Director of The Agency Marin County - Eric was the perfect choice. With a proven track record not only in residential real estate sales, Eric has served in a leadership role for much of his career. Eric began his pursuit in real estate in 2001 in New York City at The Corcoran Group, first as an agent and then later as a Managing Director. He successfully opened their Williamsburg office when Brooklyn was just emerging as one of the most dynamic markets in the country. After a decade in NYC, he returned to California and his trajectory continued. He spent several years at Pacific Union, and then most recently at Vanguard Properties where he was consistently recognized as one of the firms' top producers and while also serving as Regional Director for Marin County. As a sales person, Eric's business thrives on referrals, a testament to his commitment to people. He proudly represents both buyers and sellers in both Marin County and Palm Springs. A well-respected professional, Eric has achieved more than $300M in total sales volume in Marin, and has played a role in closing more than 175 transactions. What excites Eric most about real estate is not just houses but the genuine relationships forged with clients. Eric embraces the dynamism of his role, relishing the variety of each day, relationship, home and transaction. Among his many strengths are in-depth and up-to-the-minute market knowledge, data interpretation and creative problem-solving. Eric is also known for being an attentive listener and bringing an energizing level of enthusiasm to every interaction. Eric attended the University of Southern California and has taken leadership courses at the Wharton School of Business. Outside of work, Eric values a balanced life, sharing it with his partner Brad for more than 16 years. Fitness, travel, cooking, a love for Porsches and the company of their two French Bulldogs, Leo and Gemma, enrich his personal pursuits. Eric also proudly supports the charitable organization Home for a Home.
