Testimonials old

Kira made buying a house a smooth and pleasant process from day 1. She has a calm and professional presence, in-depth knowledge about the business and cares deeply about her clients. Her sense of humor was definitely a plus as well, not to mention all the resources she provided me with once the deal had closed.

Kira Halpern helped us navigate the stressful process of finding a home in a place we had only visited as tourists before. Again, a couple years’ later, she assisted us in selling that property and helped us purchase a house in the suburbs. Her expertise and negotiating skills allowed us to save a lot of time to pursue our busy daily schedule. She truly listens to your needs, looks out for your interest and does more than is expected of her.

We had been searching in a small, competitive real estate market for nearly a year when we were referred to Kira Halpern. She stayed in contact with us almost daily. She was very informed about the local market and willing to go the extra mile for us. Kira always seemed to surprise me with what she did to find us the right home. When she could not answer our questions, she researched and found us the answers we needed.

I am eternally grateful to Kira for her support, both physical and emotional. She and her co-workers were ready to assist me with advice on the realities of the rapidly changing housing market, predictions on what to expect, and the legal complications of both selling and buying a house in a competitive market.

I have purchased and sold several houses during my 40+ years but have never found another person who was so thoughtful, kind, and considerate in looking after my interests.

Kira helped us buy our first home together. We had the most wonderful experience from start to end. She walked us through the entire process and taught us about the housing market. She is extremely dependable, kind, patient, dedicated to her work and perhaps most importantly, dedicated to truly helping her clients find the best home for them. We cannot recommend Kira’s steadfast guidance enough.

— Julia & Christian

After our parents passed away and we decided to sell their house, Kira made what would have otherwise been a terribly difficult process very smooth. She is extremely knowledgeable about the area and drew upon an excellent pool of resources to assist in the process. Kira was always very accessible to address any questions or concerns. We would certainly highly recommend Ms. Halpern.

The overall process has been nothing but top notch. Your professionalism and calm demeanor put everyone at ease. You have been straightforward, shared your expertise, and supportive.

The inspections, hauling, cleaning, gardening seemed to all fall in place without incident. We appreciated your recommendations, assistance and guidance throughout. Working with you made my responsibility as executor of the trust less stressful.

We are grateful to Kira Halpern for helping us sell my aunt’s home, since my wife and I live in New Jersey. Kira procured competent tradespeople, a local company that set up an estate sale, various inspections, and all the while giving sage and realistic advice. She was knowledgeable about the real estate landscape around my aunt’s area, including some of the quirky geological zoning and regulations. We valued her attention to detail and depth of experience with the local market. Kira is earnest, forthright, hardworking, and made a difficult situation for us much easier than it could have been.

Kira was a proactive and helpful guide during our first foray into finding a home in the Bay Area. She preemptively toured properties and sent informative notes highlighting key details that mattered most to us. 

We truly appreciated Kira’s attentive, thorough approach to our real estate search and are very happy with our home. Kira truly goes above and beyond, and is a joy to be around. We highly recommend her.

Kira doesn’t waste her clients’ time with subpar contractors. In a short period of time, with Kira’s outstanding marketing skills and ability to successfully hold an Open House during Covid, we received 17 non-contingent offers!

Kira has all the qualities one would want in a Realtor: knowledgeable, hard-working, attention to detail, dedication, experience, flexibility, respect and kindness. Much of what she did happened behind the scenes and we know she was continually working all hours of the day. We can vouch for her ability to get the entire job done while providing you with peace of mind.
