We have had the pleasure of working with Kirk for multiple real estate transactions over many years. For our most recent purchase, Kirk started by taking time to understand our needs/wants so that all properties he sent our way were worthwhile for us to spend time exploring. Once we expressed interest in the current house, he had expert guidance on timing of offers and his deep connections within the real estate community allowed us to have thoughtful negotiations. He was always flexible working around our busy schedules. We continue the work with Kirk because he is simply the best

Kirk was an excellent partner throughout our purchase of a home in San Francisco. He was consistently responsive, proactive, and easy to reach whether by call, text, or email. He kept things organized every step of the way and made sure we had everything we needed, including a full consolidated file of our closing documents. We'd happily recommend him to anyone buying or selling in the SF market.

We were referred to Kirk by dear friends and could not have had a better experience! His local market expertise is phenomenal! His engaging personality is exceptional! He listens to what you are looking for and is honest through the entire process (doesn't just give you the rainbow and unicorn version to make a quick sell). As first time CA homebuyers, he went out of his way to answer all of our questions and clearly communicated during the entire process- we always knew what to expect. When it came to negotiations, he was strategic fought for what we wanted. In the end, we found a lovely home at a great price (well within our budget) and had a great experience doing so! Highly recommend!!!

Kirk was simply amazing in helping me purchase my first home. His superpower is definitely his knowledge of the San Francisco market and the history of many of the condo communities there. He was able to trudge through the hundreds of pages of disclosures and find the details that would matter to me. I also appreciated that the decision was always very much in my hands. A bit scary when it came to deciding on an offer price. However by the time we got to the offer stage, Kirk had given me all the information I needed to get a great deal.

We had an amazing experience working with Kirk. As first time homebuyers, we had very limited knowledge on real estate and one of our goals was to be over-educated. After all, this would be the single biggest investment we would make to date. Kirk struck the right balance of sharing information that we wanted (and sometimes didn't even know we wanted!), but making it very easy to digest. He met us where we were at. He was extremely patient with us as we wanted a lot of time to get comfortable with the home buying process. We never felt rushed and felt extremely supported by him. He spent a lot of time with us going to different properties, finding ways to make special arrangements happen, and ultimately, we felt, went above and beyond for us. Ultimately he found us our first home, which was not even on our radar, but he scouted it out for us after learning what we were looking for over many property visits. This showed me that Kirk listens and pays attention, something that is hard to find in many realtors are they juggle many clients and priorities. We never felt like we weren't important. We also had a lot of adjacent questions to the home buying process as first timers and Kirk was happy to guide us through all of them (I'm pretty sure some of them were not even adjacent). To add, he's a very nice, smart, and communicative person. He strikes the balance of being a nice person, but is also very direct and honest, which is something we knew we needed when making such a big decision. He also is very professional when dealing with offers (great balance of being firm, but not mean). We have already been recommending him to all our friends who are looking to buy in the next few years and we will definitely work with Kirk again whenever we need to buy or sell a home again. If you end up working with Kirk, I'm very excited for your home buying/selling journey.

After three previous agents failed to sell my condo, I was starting to lose hope—until I talked to Kirk. Kirk understood my property, my area, and set realistic expectations from the outset; which I greatly appreciated. Kirk’s confidence, expertise, and strategic approach set him apart from the previous agents. He didn’t just list my property; he crafted a tailored plan to highlight its best features and attract the right buyers. With the invaluable help of Christina Sutton at Vanguard, Kirk implemented a marketing strategy that finally got my condo the attention it deserved. Their teamwork, persistence, and deep market knowledge made all the difference. Where others saw challenges, Kirk saw opportunity—and he delivered the sale I was looking for. Not only did Kirk sell my condo, but he did so efficiently and with incredible professionalism. He kept me informed every step of the way, answered all my questions, and made what had been a frustrating process surprisingly smooth, even with an unusually picky and meticulous lender asking more questions, and requesting more information, then I thought was relevant or necessary. If you need a real estate agent who gets things done in a professional, responsible and empathetic manner, then I unequivocally recommend Kirk. He is the best.

Working with Kirk was the best real estate decision we could’ve made. I was introduced to him after two close friends—both savvy, detail-oriented buyers—told me he was the best agent they had ever worked with. Our experience proved that praise to be entirely warranted. Kirk’s guidance throughout the process was remarkable: his advice on how to position our bid was spot-on, and his read on the market and on other buyers’ likely moves was almost eerily accurate. He got us into properties before they were listed, made calls that opened doors to otherwise inaccessible showings, and clearly had the respect of every other agent we encountered. Most impressive, though, was his integrity—when I initially considered selling another property, he advised against it, even though he’d have benefitted financially by representing the sale. During closing, he surfaced several hidden risks that most agents would have missed entirely. And even after the deal was done, he helped us line up excellent contractors and shared his vetted network to get us settled in smoothly. Kirk is sharp, trustworthy, connected, and simply outstanding at what he does. We can’t recommend him highly enough.

Kirk was a phenomenal agent for us - we'd actually been in conversation with him for nearly 10 years, and had viewed many properties together. He always was forthcoming about tradeoffs of each house so that we felt confident in decision-making. Though many homes were a no, eventually we found the home that checked all the boxes (via an open house!) and Kirk was the first call we made. He came in, evaluated the house with his practiced eye, and ran through all the pros and cons with us. He was also able to skillfully negotiate the process with the other agent, cut through the pricing games, and give us the time we needed to research our decision. At no point does Kirk put pressure on a buyer to make a decision. He is an experienced homeowner himself and is more of a trusted consultant in the homebuying process - he wants his clients to be happy in the long term with their houses, and by giving us plenty of information while empowering us to make our own informed decisions. I would highly recommend him - there are many houses I am glad I didn't buy with his insight, and the house we did end up with has held no surprises and is exactly what we had wanted.

He is prompt, no BS, highly professional!

The listing for my flat had been lagging and my agent’s solution was a fire sale. Yikes! That money was my retirement. A friend advised a call with Kirk. That conversation changed my life. I learned more in a half hour than I had learned from my current realtor in 8 months. I vowed to change course. The net result: Kirk and his team sold the flat to my satisfaction within a month. Not only did I get my price, I got wonderful neighbors. And no games. Only straight clear communication. And we had fun. We were in the flow. Within a couple weeks of signing, Kirk’s team had exquisitely staged the flat and held the first of many open houses . . . with no fewer than 8 signs up and down the street. The marketing materials were beautiful as was the advertising on social media. The team members were all delightful and their internal communication was clear and coordinated. Kirk held my hand through the entire sales process and I’ll tell you, I’m a nervous nelly. No question was too trivial. Calls were immediately returned as though Kirk was sitting there waiting just for me. He even put me in touch with an excellent financial consultant to explore options for investing the proceeds and that person has the same gift of a kind and willing ear. All in all, I can’t say enough about the experience and the difference between it and the one before hand. Like day and night . . . or should I say light and dark? I’ll take the light any day.

I was referred to Kirk by a close friend because I had a bad experience with another agent that I was matched with on Zillow. Kirk was able to provide more information about the seller and the location that I was able to make a more informed decision when putting in an offer. He was also extremely supportive of my decisions. I highly recommend Kirk to anyone that wants to sell or buy places in San Francisco.

Kirk was professional and caring from the get go. The house was a Victorian over a hundred years old and problems and unexpected challenges constantly popped up but Kirk and his team were always on top of things. The house was crammed full of possessions from the previous owners of fifty years and everything was cleaned out, painted, refurbished and staged beautifully. The market was sinking when the house went up for sale but Kirk managed to get a great price in spite of it. Always friendly, always in touch, our experience with Kirk Dahle was the best from beginning to end.
