When I first met Kevin, I had been looking for a realtor who understood my unique needs and position. I was a single home buyer in a very affluent area and needed to be budget conscious and yet, find a home I could move right into. This was a tall order! Needless to say, it took a long time to find the right home within my budget and stay in Marin, but Kevin proved to be patient, understanding, genuine and very knowledgeable in the market. Kevin helped me every step of the way throughout the buying process and he is very trustworthy. He doesn't just want a sale, he wants his clients to find a place they can call home. If you are looking for a realtor that treats you like a member of his family, Kevin is your guy! read more

Kevin is great - he helped me sell my condo in San Anselmo, and I couldn't have asked for better service. I hoped my sale would go smoothly, but unfortunately, there were a few curveballs (as there often are with many real estate transactions!). Specifically, there were some issues with my condo association and city ordinances that created a ton of work. Kevin didn't shy away from it. He coordinated with the association and the city to project manage the issues, recognizing that I am a busy person who didn't want to deal with the issues. Though there was stress along the way, none of it related to anything Kevin did, and he was the driving force behind resolving the issues to finish the transaction. I'd absolutely work with him again as a buyer or a seller. read more

Kevin did an incredible job helping me sell my mom's house, from start to finish he had a time line to bring the home on the market and helped me stay on track with the over whelming task. Kevin even picked up parts for me that were needed for different tasks when I was unable to get to the hardware store. He lives in the neighborhood, and went over and beyond what I have experienced with other agents! read more

We recently had the pleasure of working with Kevin for purchasing our lovely home. Kevin was very thorough and responsive from the very beginning and through every step of the home buying process. When we were looking for a place, the housing market was very competitive so making timely but informed decisions was key. Kevin always made himself available to visit new listings (even during one of the heaviest storms I've seen in the Bay Area!) and to think through our options. I found Kevin to be a knowledgeable and reliable professional and recommend him for anyone looking for a trustworthy and experienced agent. read more

If you are selling your home/condo/townhouse in today's tougher housing market, you should run (not walk) to your phone and call Kevin Kearney! I was worried about selling my Condo this summer (July/August '22 timeframe) because of the higher interest rates. I thought I would be "lucky" to get even 1 offer. Kevin was very optimistic and helped me in so many ways: providing referrals to vendors/services to get my condo "ready to sell" (painters, flooring, window washers, stagers, etc.), meeting vendors for me when I didn't have time, getting it listed and strategically setting up an Open House, etc. He went above and beyond, always ready to assist. As I said, I was worried about selling in this market, but working with Kevin, we set the price appropriately and we ended up with 7 offers! The final offer accepted was well over the asking price, as well (bonus!). This was after only 1 open house, and it closed in less than 30 days. Listed in July, sold and closed by August. That's the way to do it. THANK YOU KEVIN!!! read more

We didn't think twice about asking Kevin to help sell our house, we didn't even meet anyone else. Professional, kind and truly honest. So patient, and so thoughtful in his advice, read more

I have had many real estate agents over the course of my life. Kevin is the number one realtor I have ever encountered. He and I were neighbors in Mill Valley California, Kevin was able to help me price my home properly, and with his strategy we were able to sell our home well above the asking price within days of the first open house. I highly recommend Kevin. read more

Working with Kevin was a great experience and I'm grateful for his expertise in supporting me through buying my first home.

Working with Kevin was easy as pie. I started off with a very large house with a lot of stuff in it that I needed to get rid of. He gave me the confidence and the support to flip my house around so that I could sell it quickly. I'm very happy that my house sold so fast! Kevin's dedication to making that sale as painless as possible was priceless! ~ Caroline James read more

Kevin was an amazing agent to partner with who helped us get our home in 2022. He is very well connected to and respected within the Marin real estate agent community which helped us gain intel on every offer we placed and helped us secure our home. I appreciated his point of view on what to consider in each house we saw, his transparency, his professionalism and his ability to move quickly and be available at whatever hour we needed him. He is trustworthy and someone you can feel good about doing business with! read more

Kevin helped us find our forever home in Larkspur.  We took the plunge and found a "unique fixer opportunity with lots of potential."  Kevin walked us through the house and spent a while talking through the ideas we had.  He recommended contractors, architects, designers, and landscapers to help jump-start the process.  He worked through a long hard negotiation with us and helped us land at a great price.  We're a year into the process now, and are extremely grateful for Kevin's negotiation skills, continued support, and overall customer service. read more

Kevin Kearney with Vanguard is an amazing real estate agent. Knowledgeable about the market, smart with negotiation, kind & patient no matter how much I bug him (which is often), super sound advice, and he knows how to get the deal done. What I appreciate most is that he is able to concentrate on me and my real estate needs. I suppose he may be juggling other clients, but I always feel his focus on me and not "them" (unlike other agents). Love that quality about him. Highly recommend Kevin for any sale or purchase in Marin! read more

Kevin has been our realtor for over 18 years. We have bought and sold almost a dozen properties with him, from a SFH to condos to a multiplex in San Francisco and Oakland. With every transaction, Kevin has been the quintessential professional, negotiating tough deals on our behalf, and handling all details big and small. We have even gone on vacation through a couple of deals, knowing that Kevin would take care of everything on our behalf. He has the utmost integrity and kindness. Kevin is the ultimate real estate professional and we trust him absolutely. read more

Kevin helped us buy our home in Santa Rosa. It doesn't seem fair how well he took care of us. We bought a home in a very desirable part of town and with Kevin's guidance we got a turnkey home under asking price and market value. Since our purchase multiple homes have come up in the neighborhood not nearly as move in ready or beautiful inside AND out for MORE money. Simply honest, diligent, hard-working, customer focused and sincere. Man, we need more people like Kevin in this world. There are a lot of realtors out there, if you have one, check out two and make it Kevin, if you don't have one, start here...... with Kevin. Your heart and gut will tell you right away you have found the right person. Mark and Lisa read more

Kevin is a consummate professional that took the stressful, paperwork-riddled process of buying real estate, and made it really enjoyable. Kevin's the complete opposite of the pushy realtor stereotype, and was really knowledgable and helpful throughout the process. Whenever I had a question, he had in-depth answers at hand, or researched the answer within a day. I was also really delighted to find out that behind his polite, thoughtful personality was a really top-notch negotiator -- he got me a way better deal than I'd thought possible. read more

Our experience with Kevin was top notch - he is a true professional. We cannot say enough about our appreciation and heartfelt thanks. He was a source of patient invaluable advice from the moment we met him when we were in the market for our first house together, throughout our lengthy remodel and then helped us prepare and sell our house. Here are a few things he did: 1. Helped negotiate a great price when we bought our first home and the budget was tight 2. Met with us from time to time over the years to discuss upgrades - what should and should not be done based on our goals and budget 3. Took care of all the details of getting our home on the market while we were on our way to Boston with our kids. Cleaning, staging, photos, etc. 4. Marketed our home in a professional way that generated multiple offers and negotiated the highest possible price for us in the market - exceeding our expectations. We highly recommend Kevin and his team of professionals to take great care of you and your family throughout the process. read more

Kevin Kearney provided my husband and I exceptional service, outstanding advice and much needed support and guidance during our recent home purchase. As first-time home buyers new to the San Francisco market, we had lots of questions during every step of the process.

He provided professional guidance and advice while empowering my husband and I to ask questions and be honest about our opinion of each home we viewed.

We would absolutely recommend Kevin to anyone buying or selling a home. read more

I can't recommend Kevin highly enough. Here are some of the reasons we enjoyed working with him. One, he listens! It's important to him to truly understand his clients needs. Two, he's genuine!

He has longstanding relationships with realtors in the area and has a trusted reputation which help when it comes to negotiating. read more

Kevin has been truly an amazing realtor to work with, especially given the challenges of COVID! From our first Zoom call to first offer he's made the entire process easy for us to work through and ultimately very successful. Beyond the buying process he's helped recommend 3rd parties from lenders through to painters that have helped as well. Couldn't recommend Kevin enough! read more

Kevin was wonderful to work with. He has a very calm demeanor, but is also incredibly detail-oriented, as well as patient and proactive. While preparing to sell our current home, he helped us find the perfect new home for our family. Despite how challenging it is to buy and sell houses in this time of COVID, Kevin helped us navigate the new purchase, get our home ready to sell, and even worked with the city to get unpermitted work through the process of being permitted, which was an ordeal in and of itself. We love our new home and are very grateful to Kevin and his team for getting us through the process. We highly recommend Kevin to anyone looking for a smooth real estate experience! read more

My husband and I recently bought our first home, thanks to Kevin's great work. We highly recommend Kevin, not just because of his thorough understanding of San Francisco real estate, but also because of his commitment to finding his clients the perfect home for a great price. We had a great time working with Kevin, and he helped us feel very prepared to buy our home and confident that we were getting a great price. Kevin was always careful to not make our decisions for us, and we never felt pushed or hurried. Instead, Kevin just gave us very useful advice, and was always willing to do more work in order to provide us the information we needed. Because Kevin knows the market so well, and fosters relationships with other Realtors, he was very talented at guiding us to make a successful offer. Kevin also gave very useful recommendations for any other home-related support we could want, ranging from mortgage brokers to contractors. We highly recommend Kevin to anyone interested in buying in SF, and based on our experience we also know he is an ideal Realtor for first-time buyers because he takes the time to explain anything and everything, and does a great job providing the background and laying out the steps needed to successfully buy a house. read more

Working with Kevin to find our home in San Francisco was a great experience, he helped set our expectations regarding prices, construction quality, and a few earthquake topics. He was able to get into the city on a moment's notice and we ended up purchasing the first house we saw. Kevin helped us tremendously with the negotiations, ensuring we were asking the right questions, and setting up inspections to land a great deal for us in a challenging market. Having worked with many real estate agents before, Kevin has raised the bar beyond what we ever expected. We highly recommend Kevin to anyone looking to purchase a home. read more

Kevin Kearney helped us buy a house this month. I was a first time home buyer and Kevin helped alleviate any concerns, answered all questions and kept my nerves at ease. The best thing about Kevin is that he provided constant updates about the status of the deal, and at every stage I felt like he was holding my hand through the process. I will definitely use Kevin again for any Real Estate transaction (Buy/Sell). Thank you. read more

Working with Kevin was a great experience. He led us through the process of purchasing our first home - which was more complicated than most because it was a Court Confirmed Probate / Trust Sale. His guidance through the inspection process was key. Kevin has a great understanding of construction and planning department nuances. He has also been a great resource after the sale with referrals to other businesses. We will recommend Kevin to all our friends and colleagues! read more

I was introduced to Kevin through our mutual involvement in Hands On Bay Area (a local non-profit), and quickly learned that he is a genuine, caring, smart person who has the utmost integrity. These are traits that help regardless of your career, but are even more critical in the world of real estate. So, when it came time to sell my condo there was no doubt that Kevin was the right choice to guide me through the process. Kevin managed all aspects of the process, going above and beyond since I'm no longer in the Bay Area. He took care of the small but critical issues that local owners normally have to do themselves. He also negotiated the best price with the most qualified buyer and got the sale closed in time for me to buy a new home 1 week later! I highly recommend Kevin and am confident you'll find he'll provide the same level of attention to your purchase or sale as he did with my sale. read more

Kevin was excellent. As first-time home buyers, he helped us navigate the tricky waters of SF real estate and explained everything we had questions about. He was extremely knowledgeable and a fantastic negotiator. read more

Kevin and Brendon were wonderful to work with. Their guidance was very helpful to us in our search for our new home. We were especially pleased with how Kevin made himself readily available for viewing properties often on the same day. He also kept up-to-date with daily fluctuations in the real estate market as well as with interest rates during the volatile recession. Also, he found an amazing loan product for us that very few people knew about. Because of his expertise we were able to close on our dream property, at a significant discount to the asking price, and with a great mortgage rate. We highly recommend both Kevin and Brendon for first-time home buyers trying to navigate the treacherous waters of San Francisco real estate. We would also definitely call on them if we ever wanted to buy, or sell, again. But with this great a dream home, why would we ever want to ... many thanks to Kevin. read more

Kevin was an absolute pleasure to work with. I cannot say enough how lucky I was to have found him. From the beginning to the end he took excellent care of me, and truly went above and beyond. His response time was consistently impressive and he always took the time to answer any questions I might have. He walked me through every single document that I signed, from the offer letter to the final title paperwork and everything in between. His entire team was so detail oriented, I never had to worry that something would fall through the cracks. He knows what he's talking about, and he doesn't hesitate to refer you to someone else if a question falls outside his expertise. As a single woman in my 20's, I don't know if I would have felt comfortable making such a large purchase if I hadn't had Kevin's support. Beyond just being a great real estate agent, he's also patient and kind, and genuinely wants the best for his clients. You can tell from his approach that he wants to build long term relationships with his clients. I know I will certainly call him the next time I purchase property, he is worth every penny! read more
