Kevin was so nice I hired him twice! I was on the fence about selling my property or renting it out. Always the consummate professional, he put together a proposal packet which laid out the potential rental income for the area and researched comparable houses to determine what a reasonable listing price would be. Within the proposal was a summary of the selling process from beginning to end including the marketing strategy, timeline, estimate of closing costs, and to-do's to get the property ready for listing. He did not pressure us one way or the other. Everything we needed to know to make an informed decision was available to us. When we ultimately decided to sell our home, the obvious choice for a selling agent was Kevin. Once things kicked off, he helped find the inspectors, stager, and photographer. I was out of the country for a while, so he was on site to coordinate all of this. Throughout the entire process, Kevin kept us in the loop (about inspections, repairs, marketing, listing, and open houses) and was responsive to our questions. I had complete trust and faith in Kevin's suggestions in getting the property ready. When it came time to go over the offers, Kevin summarized all the offers in a succinct manner. I was eager to just accept what I thought was the best offer, but Kevin was able to negotiate an even better one out of it. Buying and selling a home can be a very emotional and stressful process, but Kevin was always reasonable and level-headed. His insight and guidance ultimately helped us make the right decisions. We were able to get top dollar and the transaction went through without any issues. read more

My husband and I are first time homebuyers in the Bay Area. We knew it was going to be a competitive market so we wanted to make sure we selected a realtor who is effectively but also patience. We are so happy that we found Kevin! Even before we started our official hunt for new homes, Kevin made himself available via email and text messages to answer preliminary questions about the process, real-estate market trends and random properties we found online. Once we buckled down and got pre-approved (through a greater lender recommended by Kevin), Kevin diligently sent us listings every week but never pushed us to hurry up and make a decision. He was observant about our likes and dislikes during showings and showed us some great homes that we would have never found by ourselves. Due to our busy schedules, he showed us homes on weekdays after work. He also gave us imperative knowledge about the real estate trends and was spot on in determining how much a house will go for. We lost a few homes by not going with his recommendation on offer price but throughout the process, he never pushed us to go above our comfort level when it came to budget. Kevin also reviewed all disclosure documents for us and emailed us a summary! For first-time buyers, this is crucial because we are not familiar with terminology and what to look for. He was there every step of the way - he negotiated a credit on our behalf, he met with all our inspectors while we were at work, he was present when we signed escrow papers and continued to give us guidance after escrow closed about changing utilities and door locks, etc. We felt like he really cared about us, our long-term happiness with the home, and gave us the encouragement we needed to push on after some of our offers didn't get accepted. With Kevin's help and determination, we found our dream home, under budget, in a fantastic neighborhood! I would recommend Kevin whole-heartedly to anyone looking for a realtor in the Bay Area. read more

Kevin helped us sell our childhood home (which was a hard decision for the entire family). He's patient, knowledgeable and hard working and ended up selling the house months ahead of schedule, saving us time and money. There were several stakeholders in the sale (my parents, brother and I) but Kevin was patient and communicative throughout the entire process, to ensure we were all comfortable and looped in. We will be working with him again in the very near future. read more

I was introduced to Kevin waaaaay back in 2017 when I first started my home search. Where do I start? Kevin is always professionally dressed, clean, and well spoken. He is the definition of professional. He is the type of person who carries through with his promises. If he tells me he will send me disclosures then within the hour I often find them in my inbox. On top of that he always highlighted the major issues with any properties we were interested in. Kevin got a feel for the types of homes we were interested in and selected the ones in which we liked (which he then showed). Kevin is super responsive, knowledgeable, patient, and punctual. Being a first time home buyer, I had many questions and Kevin answered them all (sometimes even until late hours of 10 PM). If some of them were out of his scope he would point me in the right direction for an answer. We've been searching for a house for the past two years. In these two years we have encountered issues of being outbid or a home had too many problems for us to want to deal with. In either case we didn't get the home we hoped we would, but even during times like those Kevin was always upbeat and optimistic even when we felt it was hopeless. It's difficult to describe how great Kevin is because there are too many qualities to name. I have heard horror stories about how the realtor is just pushy and wants to to be done so he could get his commission, but with Kevin you get the sense that he wants you to love your purchase and be fully informed as to its quirks and problems. I always felt that Kevin had my best interests in mind and that ultimately is the reason why I would recommend him to anyone and everyone who asks for an amazing realtor. read more

Could not have chosen a better agent. Kevin was extremely helpful throughout the entire process, and always prioritized our interests. He was incredibly patient in walking us through and explaining every document and step along the way. He was very knowledgeable, not only of the process but also of the market in general. There were a few unexpected issues that arose (new city ordinances, etc.), but Kevin made sure he did his research and due diligence for us to ensure we were fully informed before making any decisions. We always felt like we had a trusted professional on our side, with Kevin being an advisor when needed and a strong, honest negotiator when necessary. In the end, everything was exceptionally smooth. We had a sale price in mind, one that we'd be happy with, and we exceeded it. While the end result is important, Kevin's professionalism and trust-worthy personality made an otherwise intimidating experience a pleasurable one. Highly recommend working with Kevin if you're looking for a real estate agent! read more

My gf and I were first time home buyers and Kevin walked us through each and every single step of the the complicated process. He was very helpful at all hours, we were able to communicate with help throughout the whole process. We were never in the dark. We are very thankful for Kevin's help and we highly recommend him. read more

Really enjoyed our buying experience with Kevin Lowe. He was very professional, attentive, and knowledgable about the market. My wife and I were first time home buyers and Kevin was very patient with our questions and made himself available even during after hours. It took us awhile to find our  perfect home and Kevin was there throughout the entire process from giving us weekly updates on available homes to the escrow period. During our home tours, he was also very considerate and looked out for our best interest if he felt a home wasn't up to our standard. After we made our purchase, Kevin still made himself available by making sure we were settled in and addressing all of our post-purchase questions. I trust and recommend Kevin to anyone in my network looking to purchase a home read more

Buying a house has been a dream of mine since I was young; once my wife and I, closed on our house, it felt like the biggest accomplishment of my life. However, the road to get there is very much like a maze. I am very happy that I met Kevin because he was my guide through that maze. Kevin was my 3rd agent in my home buying process, after my first two agents were a bit unresponsive, and maybe because I was young or perhaps they didn't think I was going to be serious about buying. Kevin was very responsive and he went out of his way for me; and honestly, that's all I really wanted in my agent at the time. Since our first encounter, I had a great vibe about Kevin. I e-mailed him and inquired about a house that I was interested in and he took me to that house later that day. We exchanged numbers and text messaged each other during the few following days so that he can get a "feel" of what I was looking for. Quite frankly, I had a few criterias, but I didn't really know what I wanted. Kevin must have took me to over 20 houses ranging from townhouses to condos and single family homes, not to mention educating a first time home buyer like myself, along the way. I would ask him his personal opinions at times and he was very honest and it was something I really appreciated and valued. Kevin always told me what to expect, and after every house we looked at, he sent me disclosures and information on that area right away. When my offer was accepted, he told me what to expect during ALL of the document signing process and at times, explained the things that I didn't fully understand. He negotiated for me during the closing process and he was even there by my side, at the title company! During my home buying process, Kevin became more than just my agent, I felt as if I had a friend and guide by my side. I mentioned that this process was much like a maze, and when you have an agent who has your best interests at heart, the road is a little more clear. I couldn't have asked for more from Kevin Lowe, I definitely give him 5 stars and would recommend him to my friends and family. read more

Kevin came as a reference from a friend and I'm pleased with the work that he put into helping us buy my very first home. He was thorough with communication and answering all of the questions thrown his way. Even after closing on the home, Kevin has been very helpful with tying up loose ends and being a point of contact between the seller and me. I would recommend Kevin for anyone who needs to buy in the East Bay Area and appreciate all that he's done for my growing family. read more

It was my first time selling a condo, and a trusted friend recommended Kevin. Naturally, I had many questions during the process. Kevin walked me through everything, with incredible patience, step by step. Not only do I feel totally satisfied with the sale, but the process itself was enjoyable with Kevin. Even after the sale went through, he was there to help with all the final details, and even came (with a truck!) to help me move out of my place. All in all, I would definitely and strongly recommend his services! read more

As a first time home buyer it was important to have someone who could guide us through this stressful, foreign process with the patience, understanding, and knowledge that Kevin provided. We had an idea, but truly knew very little about the inner workings of what goes on when buying a house. Kevin educated us along the way and made sure we understood what we were dealing with before moving forward. He gave us updates with each proceeding and told us what to expect with the next steps moving forward. With all of the questions we had throughout the process, he was always available and approachable. During the negotiation phase, Kevin wrote in a couple of contingencies in the contract that showed a lot of tact on his end and helped ease our anxiety. We also asked his personal opinion on how to proceed with certain areas of negotiating and in the end we ended up saving money. We found Kevin to not only be very dedicated but also very passionate, which shows in his work and attitude. We truly appreciate his opinions, inputs, and genuine honesty. We hold Kevin in high regards and would definitely recommend him. read more

Kevin proactively helped us finding our new home and was always readily available even when we asked for requests in the evening.

Thanks, Kevin! read more

Kevin is top notch! Kevin was so quick to respond to any communication I sent. He was always professional, pleasant, and available to answer questions. He went out of his way to give me an extra viewing of the home and accommodated every request. Even more amazing is once I found my new home he wrote a kind a heartfelt house warming note! read more

Kevin was thorough, attentive, and really took the time to walk me through my first home purchase.

My husband and I were fist time home buyers and Kevin walked us through each step of the process and made sure we were comfortable with everything. He was available to us anytime we needed him.

We would highly recommend Kevin! read more

Kevin was the realtor who helped me sell my condominium in Oakland. He was great. He worked with me to get the unit ready to sell. He had sources to get it into tip top shape. He knew the comparables and sales trends, so we could develop a winning strategy. Against my nature, he suggested staging which I went along with. What a great idea. The condo sold and closed within about a month of going on the market. And it sold for 20% over asking with no contingencies - all cash. There were a dozen other offers for over asking. I could not have been happier. read more

Kevin did an amazing job from start to finish with the purchase of my home. He was on top of things from the moment that I contacted him and kept me up to date with where we were in the process. The listing agent even told us that she accepted our offer over other similar offers because of how impressed she was with Kevin. I felt fortunate to have him as my agent. read more
