Kevin Birmingham was a true and kind professional realtor, through out the entire listing/escrow process. He is very knowledgable, responsive, patient, flexible, perseverant, compassionate and generous with his time. Any challenges (real estate market, tenant, HOA, etc.) were quickly addressed/resolved, with ease and a path forward, towards a successful sale/close ! Hector Maldonado read more

We recently worked with Kevin on the sale of our house in the Inner Sunset. We had recently moved out of state and so wanted someone who could handle the end to end of prepping the house for sale. Kevin was incredible to work with. He made reasonable recommendations about what things were worth investing in vs. not in order to prep our house for purchase. He took care of managing contractors / letting them into the house to take care of work, as well as ensuring they were paid. He also guided us on when to come to market despite highly fluctuating demand. In the end, we ended up with multiple offers and were happy with the outcome on our sale. read more

I have worked with a few Real Estate professional over the years (at least 10) in buying & selling houses and Kevin is the absolute best. He did a great job of listening to what my goals were to selling my moms property and did it in record time (30 days from meeting to close). Obviously your experience may vary but he was on top of things every step of the way. Even made arrangement for a hauler to dispose of the the junk that is always present at the end of moving out. He helped to reduce my stress and get me and my mom to the sold finish line. read more

Kevin at Park North RE was recommended to me by a trustworthy contact and I am so pleased to share that choosing Kevin to list my property in Daly City was the BEST decision. What I look for in anyone I do business with: punctuality, strong interpersonal and soft skills, and work ethic. I was impressed with Kevin's overall wisdom and knowledge in terms of strategy, this city, also his intuitiveness, patience, and most of all, what an excellent communicator he is. Kevin is an SF native and, believe me, you want to work with someone who is originally from here. Kevin is such a great point of contact. He has a great network, provides excellent ideas and suggestions, is prudent, ethical, and always willing to explain things clearly and effectively. My property listed and sold in what felt like record time thanks to Kevin at Park North RE! If you are looking to buy or sell, Kevin is definitely someone you want on your side as he will make a very stressful situation actually feel quite pleasant. Kevin is a total gem. I so look forward to working with him again. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions or would like additional details! read more

Kevin's in-depth experience and knowledge of the SF market helped us efficiently and effectively navigate our home purchase. He provided valuable advice and insight during the offer process that helped us align on and land the property we wanted. Beyond entering contract, Kevin provided a steady hand and advice to get all parties to the closing finish line. I appreciated his knowledge of the market, straight forward feedback, and genuine care. He's a true professional, expert in this market, and a great human. I would highly recommend Kevin. read more

Kevin was an invaluable asset during our second house hunt. His connections and tenacity are the sole reason we got our offer accepted on our dream house in our dream neighborhood, at a price point that we didn't think was possible. I can't thank him and his team enough for going to bat for us. read more

Handled the transaction very professionally and with integrity. Achieved a great outcome for me in the turbulent economy. Would highly recommend him. read more

Kevin is a rockstar, quite simply. He went WAY above and beyond helping us get our home ready for market. He was always upfront, honest, and realistic about the market, our home, pricing, etc. Having bought and sold ~6 homes over the years, Kevin was by far the best Realtor we've worked with. read more

Working with Kevin for the second time around, we are even more impressed by his performance. He helped us buy our house in 2020 and three years later our situation had changed and we wanted to sell. Kevin made the whole process relatively painless. We followed all of Kevin's advice on the changes to be made to the house and pricing strategy to get the best offer. He handled all the various vendors we needed to get the house ready and we were blown away with the results. We probably had more than 1000 people come through during the viewing period, had more than 40 offers and are very happy with the sale price. All of this is thanks to Kevin and his team. I highly recommend if you're looking to buy/sell, work with Kevin! read more

I couldn't say enough about Kevin's willingness to go the extra mile. He really works hard for his clients.

Kevin helped us with a condo purchase in SF. He was very accommodating in making appointments for us which was not easy during the pandemic. We found him to be trustworthy and knowledgeable on building construction details. He also introduced us to loan broker who was efficient and gave us a great rate. We were happy with his work and highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to purchase a home in SF. read more

Kevin made selling our home in San Francisco unbelievably painless. Kevin partners with Tanya Dzhibrailova from Zephyr, so we benefited from two experienced agents managing our sale. From our first meeting, they had an exact strategy in mind, and I appreciated their confidence and expertise. We needed to move out of state on pretty short notice, and we were able to pack up and hand over the keys knowing everything would be taken care of. Tanya has a skilled crew of handymen, stagers, landscapers and more at her fingertips. Her team came in and took care of EVERYTHING to get our house ready. I know we got top dollar for our home because of Tanya and Kevin's experience and reputation in San Francisco. I would recommend this team to anyone. Trust their advice on what you should do for staging, repairs, etc. I feel confident that we didn't spend a dime that we didn't get back in the final sale. read more

Kevin Birmingham is the tops. Best experience we have had with SF real estate transactions. Thorough market info, timely communication, just the right marketing approach. Not a thing I could improve. Hope to work with him again. read more

I have an incredible story. I got my dream home, in San Francisco, and my first offer was accepted. This is the amazing talent you receive with Kevin Birmingham. Any realtor can show you homes. Very few realtors can bring you your dream home, negotiate the contract, and close the deal in favorable time. Kevin brought me to his office, opened a huge map, and explained the neighborhoods where I would be able to purchase, clarifying my options and answering all my questions. One of the most important parts of this process is a fast close. You are competing with all-cash offers in a very competitive market. Kevin introduced me to his mortgage broker partner who was able to put together a 21-day close offer. The faster you get the seller their money, the better your chances of being selected. Kevin taught me this and had me partner with an absolute expert in the mortgage space, and together they wrote a contract the seller saw as the most favorable. There are many variables in writing a great offer, some complex, and how you position the negotiation is critical for a win. Kevin is truly a master negotiator with his years of experience. This process is a lot of who you trust, but I think more importantly, who can negotiate, who understands how to build a compelling offer, and who can execute flawlessly in a very short and competitive window. I hear all the time how grueling this process has been for homebuyers, I was extremely lucky because Kevin made it an exciting, educational, fun, and wonderful process! read more

Kevin has helped us to buy two homes in the last decade and we have had a great experience both times. He is patient, super knowledgeable, responsive, a good listener, honest, and quite funny. As a San Francisco native, he knows the city well and is well connected. As the son of a contractor, he has great insights on work that needs to or may need to be done and has a multitude of contacts to share. My husband and I highly recommend Kevin! read more

We recently sold our San Francisco house with Kevin and Tanya. They are simply the best of the best. We couldn't wish for a better experience during the whole process. Kevin and Tanya have a great team of contractors, painters, staging designers, cleaners and landscapers. They handled all the paperwork and we basically didn't have to do anything. Because of Kevin and Tanya's hard work and connections we got a LOT of offers. Kevin and Tanya helped us make the best and safest choice. We will always recommend Kevin and Tanya to all our friends. We were so lucky to find them! read more

Kevin is a professional with a hustler attitude. He is knowledgeable and a great adviser. He 100% works in his clients best interest as we experienced. He guided us through selling our house from beginning to end. He knows everybody in the business from engineers, contractors, landscapers, to the stagers. He has worked hard to achieve the highly regarded position he is in now and I would highly recommend Kevin for anyone's real estate needs. read more

As first time home buyers, we were nervous about the real estate climate in San Francisco. Our first meeting at Kevin's office really helped pave the road for the whole process. Based on our profile, he sent us homes we could actually afford. We were extremely fortunate to purchase a house close to both of our families, which he knew we valued. Kevin made the process seem seamless and continued helping us with professional recommendations for small repairs, potential future projects, insurance carriers, etc. Kevin was honest from start to finish. It set our expectations, prepared us to jump on an opportunity and we were homeowners within weeks of our first handshake. Thank you for our forever home, Kevin! read more

We were nervous going in as first-time home buyers in the Bay Area, but Kevin and his team expertly guided us through every step of the process. It's not just that Kevin is an expert realtor (though he undoubtedly is one). It's that once we got into escrow he did whatever it took to make sure we closed -- not a simple feat when the world unexpectedly shuts down due to a global pandemic! It took 6 months of hunting and a few heartbreaking rejected offers, but we're moving into our house in a week and couldn't be more excited. read more

Let me be the first to give my highest accolades to Kevin Birmingham!!! My 96 year old grandmother unfortunately had to sell her home after 72 years of ownership. During that stressful time, Kevin's talent in carrying out his responsibilities as her agent was beyond exceptional..... His attention to all the details, responding to phone calls and keeping us abreast of everything that was happening certainly took a lot of the pressure off of us. Even during the quickness of it all, Kevin remained steadfast and thorough. He truly gets the job done! I personally can't thank him enough for his advice and direction throughout the sale of my Grandmother's home. It wasn't easy to let go of that house, with all the memories her home contained. His professionalism and kindness helped to make it that much easier. I would not hesitate to recommend Kevin to anyone who may need a Realtor in the future. read more

There simply aren't enough stars on Yelp for Kevin. Yeah, I know you have all hear that before, but Kevin really is the BEST. Here is our story: My husband and I were in our rental for years and we loved our Sunset house. We were five blocks away from his parents and we wanted to buy the house. We made several overtures but the landlord didn't want to sell. We were getting killed in taxes so we bought a cabin at the Russian River thinking we would continue to rent in the city and own the cabin in the Redwoods. Everything was GREAT! Then the call came that every renter dreads, the landlord wanted to move back into our rental after 12 years. We thought we had two choices, 1) sell the cabin and use the money for the down payment on a house in the city or 2) move to the Russian River and leave our life in SF. We really didn't want to leave SF as we are both natives but we could only come up with 10 percent down with such short notice. We love the cabin and didn't want to sell. We called Kevin in a panic. We were emotional, crazed and generally a mess! Kevin put up with my crying and freak-outs and checked in with me daily. He walked us both through the SF buying market with such patience it was amazing! We only had a short time to find a place and a whole list of what we wanted in a house. We found a house that we thought was "THE ONE" but we were outbid. Not once did Kevin give up on us or our search for the perfect home. I went to an open house and called Kevin from my car and said, "I think I just found our house" Kevin was there within minutes and knew the listing agents (who were also incredible). The sellers accepted an early offer and we moved into our new place May 1st! Yes folks, we were able to buy a house in SF with only a 10 percent down payment thanks to Kevin! Kevin knows SF real estate as he is a SF Native and is a son of a contractor so he is also super knowledgeable about construction. I can't tell you how many houses we saw and he said, "Nope, this is a cheaply flipped house". I can't stress how important this knowledge is in a market where you usually have to waive all contingencies. I've linked the story of our search to this review but please know, the ONLY reason we agreed to be interviewed was to tell everyone how amazing Kevin was. Of course they only mention him at the very end, UGH!!! For those that are looking to buy a house in SF, my advice is don't give up and do yourself a favor, call Kevin. http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/S-F-hot-housing-prices-back-bidding-wars-5503222.php read more

I never write reviews online, but I have to share my great news. As a SF native, I watched friends move away because they couldn't afford to buy a home here. I wanted to stay in SF, but as a private elementary school teacher, I didn't know if it was possible. Kevin made my dreams possible and showed me a home my husband and I could afford. Nine months pregnant with my first child I moved into my very own home. Friends and family ask me all the time how did I do it. I say call Kevin! He knows everyone and everything. Kevin goes the extra mile and answers any questions you have even after you buy the home such as where could I put in a washer and dryer. I can't recommend Kevin enough!! read more

I'm going to wait until Yelp allows 6 stars before writing an in-depth review of Kevin. In the interim, please read my review of his partner, Tanya Dzhibrailova of Zephyr. read more

Kevin is absolutely the best, he sold our home and got us into our new house which we love! He held our hand through the process, ( I should mention I had a newborn and was a mess!) Kevin is patient and kind and the ultimate professional. read more

With Kevin's help we just bought our first home in SF, he was outstanding throughout the entire process. When we began our search we were very inexperienced and we didn't know where to begin. Kevin was patient, personable, and honest. He never hesitated to explain why he thought a particular property wasn't the right fit for us. As a San Francisco native Kevin knew where to look based on our budget and feedback. Over the course of a few months he helped us refine our search in market with limited inventory. Kevin managed to find a great place before it hit the market and I believe we got an amazing deal!!!! We are both thrilled to be in our new home - I would highly recommend Kevin's services. read more

Kevin and his Partner Katie helped us a lot with recent home purchase. San Francisco's real-estate market is crazy and can be overwhelming, but Kevin and Katie where a great help and full of support. The most refreshing and important thing is that they are very honest and really tell you how things truly are. This is such a rarity in the housing market. I would very much recommend them to any home buyer or seller. Thanks so much for making this process enjoyable. read more

Kevin is an exceptional human being and realtor. We'll be forever grateful for the lengths he went to in helping us find our new home. Relocating from LA, with no idea where to start in San Francisco, our previous realtor in LA found Kevin through a mutual contact and enthusiastically referred us after speaking with him. In our first call with Kevin we made a pretty extreme request to find and close on a home within a relatively rigid budget in as little time as possible. He assured us we'd find what we were looking for, and calmly reviewed the neighborhoods, average prices, and home styles to help us narrow our search area. Kevin knows this city inside and out, and he seems to know just about everyone in it. He's friendly and caring while maintaining a realistic perspective that helps any home buyer see through well-staged houses, as well as spot a diamond in the rough. Throughout the offer and closing process, Kevin explained every step and always ensured we had the right information, people, or support to make confident decisions. Even after closing, Kevin continued to go the extra mile, supporting renovation efforts and leveraging his expansive network to help us create the perfect home. Thank you, Kevin! read more

We interviewed five well established agents before selecting Kevin. A few friends highly recommended him, and he exceeded all our expectations. Kevin is well organized, honest, knowledgeable, and very professional. Before listing the property, Kevin made a few recommendations. Each recommendation consisted of the pro and cons and how they may impact the overall sales price. Kevin has a team of contractors who assisted with the removal of old furniture and carpets, did touch up paint, and refinished the hardwood floors. Their fees we very reasonable, and after they were done, the house looked like new. The closing took longer than expected, but Kevin guided us through the process and was always available with an update. The home sold for well over the asking price. We would highly recommend Kevin for anyone selling a home in SF, and we look forward to working with him and his team for our next listing. read more

There is no Realtor better than Kevin in my mind. Being in the industry for years, I've dealt with a lot of Realtors both as being an agent involved in the transaction, as a buyer and as a seller. Kevin is bar none! When it came to selling my house there was no question I was going to use Kevin. He handled everything from the small maintenance items that needed addressing before putting the house on the market, painting and staging. I didn't need to do anything! The transaction went smoothly and even when I offered to take some things off his plate, his response was "it's already been done!" Buying and selling real estate can be stressful, but with Kevin as your agent, you can forget the transaction is even happening until you celebrate on closing day! read more

Kevin assisted us in purchasing a rental property in SF.

I would definitely recommend he to anyone and would use him again if we are buying or selling any properties in SF. read more

Kevin helped me search for a home that would suit both my needs and price range. He was always very patient and accommodating. We viewed dozens of homes and I never felt pressured at all. As a first time home buyer I was wary and inexperienced about most of the process, but Kevin was very honest and knowledgeable. Communication was easy with emails, text messages, and phone calls. When I finally found the perfect home Kevin worked very fast to make sure I would land it at the price I wanted. He handled negotiating the entire deal very well and helped me coordinate all the other aspects of appraisals, inspections, and other services. When we encountered some bumps in the road he had no problem maneuvering around the situations to get me the house I wanted. read more

Kevin and Tanya helped us prepare our house for sale with their contractors, gardeners, staging, and sold our house for $505,000 over asking from over 12 offers.

The pricing and marketing drew huge crowds to our open house hours. Our best real estate experience. read more

Kevin Birmingham is as good as it gets. He managed the sale of my mother's home of 50+ years, in Golden Gate Heights. From start to finish he was available at a moment's notice, returned all calls promptly, and helped get the house ready for sale. Both during and after the sale he was there when we needed him and priced the home to attract many buyers. The sale came in 30% over asking. Even after closing Kevin was consistently available to answer all questions. I can recommend Kevin Birmingham without reservation. read more
