“When our family of five moved from Connecticut a year ago, we had heard horror stories about the Bay Area real estate market and were very stressed. We decided to start with a rental so we had time to look for our dream house more leisurely. Kevin was great through the rental process as we were looking remotely, taking videos and pictures to send us, and really getting to know what we were looking for. Kevin helped us find a great one-year rental in Mill Valley which was perfect for us for the year. We really felt he had our back through the process, including taking pictures of every room before move-in to make sure the house condition was documented, and even taking the time to go to the store to pick up a replacement lamp so we wouldn’t be charged.
We then used the year to get to know the market. Kevin grew up in Marin so knows the market and the neighborhoods cold, and shepherded us through a very careful process of looking at over 50 houses. He was incredibly patient, learned with us as we learned what we were looking for (which changed frequently, in!), and we never felt rushed, that he was just trying to close the deal and then move on, or that he was in it for anything other than helping us find our dream house. And when we found the house we wanted, also in Mill Valley, he helped us with our offer to sure we won the bid on our first try, which is unheard of in this market. Most importantly our family is thrilled with our new home. We highly recommend Kevin. He offers an unusual combination of dedication: he is available 24/7 with a knowledge of Marin neighborhoods; patience and willingness to take the time to understand your preferences; and also an ability to navigate the offer process to ensure you get the house at the right price.”
