OUR TEAM

ERIC McFARLAND
Having grown up in Mill Valley, it was inevitable that I would return. After a decade in New York City, I am thrilled to be back bringing with me over 15 years of residential real estate experience. I join forces with Vanguard Properties, working alongside my mom, Marylisa Tencer, in the downtown Mill Valley office.
I launched my Real Estate sales career in 2001 with The Corcoran Group in New York and quickly built a loyal and steady clientele base. Having represented both buyers and sellers for five years, I was then promoted into management and was named managing director of the firm’s Brooklyn Heights office and earned recognition as a member of The Corcoran Group’s coveted President’s Council, honoring managing brokers around the country for success in operations, recruiting, and profitability.
In 2008, I opened the Corcoran Group's Williamsburg office and as senior managing director, I oversaw more than 45 agents and catapulted the office to success. I helped to make operations profitable in a very short period of time and excelled in selecting and training top agents, including the 2008 and 2009 Brooklyn Rookies of the Year. I earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Southern California and have also taken extensive business leadership courses at the Wharton School of Business.

METTE SHIRLEY
Mette moved to Marin County from Denmark in 1992 to chase her “American Dream”. With one suitcase and $100 in her pocket, she began her love affair with California and instantly knew she had landed in a very special place. Fast forward 30 years and Mette is still excited about living in Marin.
Her extensive career in real estate began as a stager which fully utilized her strong sense of space, design, and how a home should flow which ultimately translated into higher sales prices for her clients. She decided to add Realtor to her resume to expand her involvement in the dynamic housing industry.
Mette is genuinely passionate about helping clients find homes that perfectly fulfill their idea of a dream home.
