About

Holmes Burrell Real Estate was inspired by the need for a new type of real estate brokerage.
Our primary objective is to create life-long relationships with our clients while helping
navigate the nuances of today’s real estate market. Many of the technologies we have in
place are proprietary, and unparalleled. Our model could only be born from traditional
values, inspired by the needs of our clients, and carried on the back of those cutting edge
technologies. We are enthusiastic about offering superior client services, the service you
deserve, the service you should come to expect.

Our agents do not compete for business, they support each other to insure that you are always
receiving the attention you need. Real estate agents are independent contractors, but that’s
where we differ from the larger brokerages. Our Realtors respect each others business, and want
each client to be successful. Your success is paramount to ours.

Holmes Burrell has leveraged the power of the internet in a way no other brokerage can,
that allows us to offer the highest level of exposure that can be found in the industry. Our systems are
exclusive to Holmes Burrell, licensed to us only, and no other brokerage can say that. No matter
where your home is physically located, we will have it on the front page of every buyers search engine.

With our offices around Marin, we have strong family roots. We offer you the most local perspective. We know the trails, the waters,
commutes, farmers markets, just ask, we are happy to share our local experience.

Our online tools allow us to carry our offices everywhere we go. We have teams and systems in place to make each transaction a fluid one.
Whether you need to sign while at work, or while out of town, we know how to get the job done.

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!

With 15+ years of guest service experience, I can honestly say “people are my passion”. And in real estate, I have truly never meant that statement more than I do now. I have always been driven to help people and nothing in my life has been as important and as rewarding as helping someone find a home. Born and raised in the Bay Area, I have lived in Silicon Valley, the San Joaquin Valley, and for the last 10 years, I reside and own a home in the East Bay. I have always thought of any part of California as home and my personal travel history has only helped to increase my knowledge and experience in real estate. Whether it’s your 1st home or your 10th home, I am exceptionally skilled at listening, caring, and ultimately helping you find a home that fits your wants, needs, and desires. My goal is to create long term connections with my clients that will last beyond the close of escrow. My promise to myself and my clients is to build relationships that last a lifetime.

I can think of nothing more rewarding than helping a client find the perfect home. I chose real estate because I love working with people and have extensive knowledge of the rapidly changing housing market in the Bay Area. I am a California licensed Realtor who has lived in Marin County for over 15 years with my wife and family. I have been a Bay Area resident for almost 3 decades since migrating from Chicago. I love photography, movies, wildlife spotting and I am an avid mountain biker and hiker. Enjoying the outdoor experiences that Marin County offers while living in a culturally rich area is the perfect balance. My Approach My desire and determination to best represent my clients is demonstrated by the high standards I set and maintain. I have a strong commitment to helping each client, whether selling or buying a home, so each client and each property receives the very best of service. I will be there from the very beginning and walk you throughout the escrow and inspection process. I will help you navigate the intricacies of the transaction and be by your side. I also will be there afterwards and provide you with information and support after you move into your new home. It is my hope that my experience and knowledge will serve you well. My Client-First Philosophy There are many qualities and skills that go into being an excellent real estate professional - integrity, in-depth community and market knowledge, marketing savvy, effective negotiation skills and a high-quality professional network, all of which are hallmarks of how I work. That said, in my experience as a real estate professional, I've also found that providing the very best service is essentially aboutputting my clients first. This means keeping myself accessible, being a good listener as well as a good communicator, and responding quickly to your needs. This "client first" philosophy has always been my approach and it requires me to continually improve my skills and ways of doing business. In addition, I've found that the latest technologies are enabling me to do everything I've always done, only much more quickly and efficiently. They've also helped me to extend the range of services I provide to my clients. So when you decide that you'd like to buy or sell a home in the Marin County or Sonoma County, please contact me.

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. In high-cost areas like ours, many community servants are priced out of the very places they serve. That’s why I’m honored to be the Local Ambassador for The HELPER Act, a piece of legislation designed to provide first responders, paramedics/EMTs, and teachers with the same mortgage benefits military personnel receive through the VA Loan. 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. Outside of real estate, I’m a devoted husband and father, an active member of my church and community, and an outdoor enthusiast who enjoys hiking, camping, stand-up paddle board surfing, tennis, and golf. Ready to take the next step? Let’s connect and make your homeownership goals a reality.

Jason Holmes About Jason Holmes I have been selling and listing real estate for over 25 years in the North Bay, and I’m proud to consistently fall in the top 1% of all Marin Agents. I own and operate Holmes-Burrell Real Estate, a business I’ve grown to leverage smart technology in a way that no other agency can claim. And over the years I’ve developed an enormous network by doing solid, honest work with great people. With my company’s unique strategy to make the most of both technology and relationships, I’ve helped hundreds of clients find and sell their homes. I simply love real estate and it shows in the work I do and the dedication I display day in and day out – seven days a week. My Approach My approach is simple: At all times I operate with the utmost integrity and professionalism, remembering that my practice is client-centered and client-driven. In my experience as a real estate professional, I've always found that providing the very best service is essentially about putting my clients first. This means keeping myself accessible, being a good listener as well as a good communicator, and responding quickly to my clients’ needs. In short, I take care of my clients like they are family members. Since I am consistently in the top tier of all sales agents in Marin and Sonoma, I don't need any one deal. What I do need are happy clients who love their homes. I strive to help clients find their perfect home, and I make sure that they are completely informed before they make any decision. Sales Strategy I provide my clients with best-in-industry service, thorough market knowledge, innovative marketing techniques, and solid sales strategy to promote all of my listed properties. My team comprises not only talented, licensed agents, but also seasoned internet, database marketing, advertising, graphic design, marketing, photography and public relations professionals – all of whom work together to ensure every property I represent garners the attention and sale price it deserves. Knowledge I offer the highest level of residential real estate savvy, extensive experience and intensive knowledge about North Bay neighborhoods, schools and trails. My years of experience have given me a complete understanding of the real estate process and strong contract negotiation skills. I have a vast network of vendors, including contractors, tile guys, electricians, movers, etc. When you need something in the world of real estate...I am the one to call. On a personal note I live in the North Bay with my wife and three daughters. I’m very active in the community and in my kids’ lives. I’m also an avid cyclist – which is why I know every trail in Marin County – and I love tennis. In fact, my wife and I captain the mixed doubles team at our local tennis club. While I love sports, playing with my girls is my favorite activity – they are my pride and joy.

Luca Jelmini was born and raised in Manhattan Beach, California. From a young age, Luca grew up with an in-depth understanding of the intersectionality of real estate and law thanks to both of his parents; one of whom, his father, who is a trust, will, and estate planning lawyer, and the other, his mother, who is a real estate broker. In addition to their professional careers, Luca’s parents also heavily involved their sons in their personal investments, specifically real estate. Over the course of his adolescence, Luca learned firsthand how to acquire, manage, and liquidate property. From communication with tenants to posting advertisements to fill occupancy to performing basic repairs and maintenance, Luca has done it all! After graduating from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, Luca obtained his real estate salesperson license. Never being one to shy away from a challenge, Luca made the big decision of leaving his all too familiar life in Los Angeles and relocated permanently to the Bay Area to begin his real estate career. Luca spent the beginning of his career training and growing as a realtor on Keller Williams’ Disen Cai Real Estate team in Burlingame, California. After a multitude of transactions, Luca decided he was ready to push himself even further by moving north to Marin County, where he was fortunate enough to join Holmes Burrell Real Estate. Today, Luca is lucky to call Marin home and looks forward to welcoming you to the neighborhood!

I am a lifelong Marin County resident whose family has been in San Francisco for six generations. My wife Anne and I were both born and raised in Marin and still live in our first home in San Anselmo. I vividly remember – it was 1988 - an aggressive sellers’ market. Working with positive professionals was key in helping us get into our home. I’ve been a Real Estate Agent for over 7 years and enjoys a growing business in our competitive real estate market. With my long history and knowledge of Marin, and personal relationships with industry professionals, I’ve created a team that can get your home ready for market and sold at top dollar - without compromising anyone’s integrity. I also have a particular gift for working with seniors and empty nesters who are downsizing. I have guided clients as well as three sets of parents through this major life transition. My background includes 30 years in the financial industry in San Francisco, including operating a family stock and options business at the former Pacific Stock Exchange, serving on self-regulatory exchange committees and boards, senior management for Newedge USA, and was elected and served 2 terms on the NYSE Exchange’s Board of Directors. I tend a beautiful garden filled with roses and fruit trees and have extensive knowledge of the hiking and biking trails on and around our beloved Mount Tam. I enjoy community building projects which includes taking a group of students to Mexico to build homes every year for less fortunate Families. I make a mean margarita and often referred to as the “Commodore” for his amazing prowess with my Weber BBQ.

I got into real estate on the ground floor—literally. Thanks to over six years of hands-on experience training with a master/builder and electrician, I learned every aspect of construction—from foundation to finish. 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, termite 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. I have designed and remodeled my own properties and sold them to happy customers. I’m a sharp negotiator; devoted to helping my clients realize the best possible outcomes. FOR FUN I still continue to sing, compose music for piano and voice and perform in regional productions. I also surf, mountain bike, enjoy time with my two young sons, and seek out exciting places to dine with friends.
