One of their many strengths is breaking down the many steps of purchasing a home into simple easy to understand terms. Their advice was always considerate, honest and supportive.
— Ross+Rhea , Buyers, Industrial Design + Tech, Castro/Eureka Valley/Mission Dolores, who, after a few bids, beat out higher offers here as the seller’s agent knew we’d get the job done.
We talked to a number of buyers’ agents, however Kevin and Jonathan really stood out. Not only did they answer all our questions with their wealth of online information, but also taught us what to look for (and what to watch out for) in person as we toured homes with them.
Once we found *the home* they helped us craft an amazing pre-emptive offer that landed us the house. After we were under contract, Kevin and Jonathan handled all the little details, allowing us to close in under 2 weeks!
With all the people we interacted with in the home-buying process, Kevin and Jonathan are our top recommendation.
— Kitt and Jonathan, Buyers, Tech + Internet Architecture, Bernal Heights
If there was one word to describe my experience with Kevin and Jonathan, it’s ”smart.” They know the current market environment and also helped educate and guide me to getting both buying and selling done.
— Clodel, Seller and Buyer, Retail Apps.,SoMa + Excelsior
— Mary W., Seller, Government, the Richmond District, whose property sold in a week, over asking after she followed our prep plan.
We trusted Kevin right from the beginning and his combination of being very professional, knowledgeable but at the same time understanding the emotional side that we went through purchasing the home. This was truly an amazing experience
— Oliver + Janette, Buyers, Tech/Industrial Design, The Richmond, a pre-emptive offer that saved time and money

HOME BODIES
What Sets You Apart From All the Other Agents in San Francisco?
When you hire us, you get to work with us — two co-equal, top-producing agents who the ones actually doing the work for you (not some junior ‘team member’).
Our business has grown by leaps and bounds every year we’ve started doing this.
Other agents want to work with us and our clients. Time and time again, we’re told that our clients’ offer may not be the highest, but that our offer package and presentation is the “poster child” of what offers should look like.
When working with Kevin+Jonathan, you may expect clear communication, superior customer service and the very best outcomes possible.
Our favorite part of this experience is seeing the huge smiles on our clients’ faces when we hand keys over to their new homes or when we tell our seller clients that we’ve closed and at (yet another) record sale price.

K+J’s LISTINGS
Is it still $1,000/sqft in San Francisco?
Yes, despite COVID-19’s negative impact on certain segments of the real estate market — condominiums in SoMa, South Beach, Mission Bay and other areas focused on work — whether it be downtown or places where access to tech shuttles or the South Bay/Peninsula is paramount — people are still buying houses at a feverish pace and more traditional condominiums that are in the center core neighborhoods that are close to parks and neighborhood drags. In fact, the majority of houses sold in less than 30 days for most of 2020 while condominiums showed a broader range.
For 2020, the blended single-family house average sale price in San Francisco has been in the $900-$1,000/sqft range (up from 2019’s $800–$900/sqft range). Average sale prices for condominiums slipped from the $1,100–$1,200/sqft range in 2019 to the $1,000–$1,100/sqft range for 2020.

AND NOW FOR BUYING
“Just Sold”
really means.
Time for Better Buying
And exhale. We know that buying a home is something that’s life-changing for sure. That’s why we’re here to help you get to there from here, where it’s into or from a condominium, single-family home, TIC, mansion, mini-mansion, starter home or pied-à-terre. Our buyer clients know they’re working with approachable, continually engaged and authoritative top-producing professionals who are accompanied by a happy, mellow and friendly big black dog, Raffi, who likes to wag his tail too.
Our track record is evidence that we know how to win and deliver the outcomes that impact our clients’ lives in the most positive ways possible. We use a smarter, more-detailed approach to help our clients win — even if they’re not the highest offer, they’re many times the best one.
For the Sellers
Our clients’ listings are prepared better, shown better and sell better
We take what we learn from our buyer clients and help our seller clients succeed in San Francisco real estate. We work to ensure our reputation and brand are rooted in quality, hard work and thoughtfulness. We focus on the details — the little touches — as well as the big picture.
Our seller services includes a bit of humor, candor and perspective thrown in for good measure. And, unlike many agents out there, our success is rooted in the fact that we genuinely care about our clients as your story and goals are at the root of our joint success.
We regularly set, break or exceed local sales records with our listings. While spending and investing in your property is essential, we strive to prepare (and adhere to) preparation budgets, and individual constraints to create a bespoke product that connects with the best buyers on an emotional level to get the best outcome possible. While every property might not need to be bespoke, our results will be.
“You guys always prepare and present your listings so well it’s not fair to other agents. Your clients are so lucky to have you because you so do so much for them.”
