He handled the entire process seamlessly, managing every detail and going above and beyond to keep expectations aligned every step of the way. If you're buying or selling in San Francisco, we'd recommend Kevin without hesitation. He truly puts his heart into his work.

The property needed some updates and changes, and Kevin helped with the heavy lifting by making a list, identifying the key issues, and helping prioritize the work that needed to be done.

A year and a half ago I found myself in the role of Trustee of a good friend's Trust upon his…read morepassing. Included in the estate were two homes, his personal home of many years in Kensington, and a rental home in Berkeley. Both needed some updating. I started my search for a real estate agent by noticing the companies that were already selling in both neighborhoods. Then I went to the firm's website and reviewed the credentials listed for their various agents to develop a short list. I interviewed several real estate agents before settling on Tracy Palma at Sotheby's. I could not be happier at that choice. We tackled the Kensington home first because of the red tape involved in selling what had been a rental home in Berkeley. Tracy's knowledge of the aesthetic appeal of the market was very helpful in thinking about what would be needed to most efficiently market the property. In addition, she is very well connected and was able to bring in experienced contractors and design experts to come up with a renovation plan, and then the proper people to execute it. All along she oversaw the project and provided progress reports. When the time came, she brought in an excellent stager to ready the home for showing. It had been many years since I had either sold, or bought, a single-family home. Tracy came up with a marketing plan that was not what I expected but turned out to be perfect. The actual marketing went smoothly and exactly as she had planned resulting in multiple over list offers with only two weeks on the market. Throughout Tracy was superb on communicating each and every development. Once the Kensington home was sold and the tenant was out of the Berkeley home Tracy brought her design team to work on a plan for that one. When a neighbor reached out to see if the home was going to be for sale Tracy came up with recommendations for an "as is" sale and quite literally within a week that home was sold to an all-cash buyer without the need to do any upgrade and renovation work. I'm confident that the "as is" price exceeded the net that I would have gotten after putting a couple of months work and several hundred thousand dollars into improvements. The long and short is that through these two quite different experiences I have come to regard Tracy as an excellent representative whether one is selling or buying a home in the Bay Area. I add the buying part because a big part of being an excellent representative for sellers is understanding the buyer's perspective. Larry Luckham
