Paddy Kehoe

★★★★★
“Having previously been a real estate agent myself in Lamorinda, I can unhesitatingly provide five stars and then some to Paddy Kehoe as a uniquely brilliant real estate broker who will accomplish multiple offers and a selling price for your home beyond your expectations! Paddy recently worked on behalf of my mother to list, prepare, stage, and sell her midcentury home in Lafayette after she had lived there for forty years -- no small undertaking for either my 88 year-old mother or Paddy. But Paddy Kehoe, with his uniquely brilliant multi-step approach, his exceptional good looks, and the charm of his Irish heritage, collaborated with my mother over several months to bring her home to market that generated six offers in one week -- all of them at or over the asking price. Remember, you only need one good offer to sell your home. My mother received six! Again, I once worked the real estate market in Lamorinda and I was hard-pressed to meet an established broker like Paddy Kehoe who is as honest, forthright, insightful, and extraordinarily intelligent when it comes to representing sellers. And a huge plus for Paddy is that he comprehends "residential architecture" with an extensive vocabulary for building and construction, remodeling versus restoration, significance of styles and periods of home design, as well as the personal needs of his clients -- whether they be 88 years old or a young new-to-the-market family. I could go on and on and on taking about the amazing qualities of Paddy Kehoe. My mother and I are so very happy that Paddy was our real estate broker. Paddy is the man!“ - Tran Turner - Happy Seller

“Paddy was an incredible agent who helped our house purchase go very smoothly. He was extremely patient in visiting many homes with us, and used his prior knowledge of construction to help identify potential problems in potential homes. He is very data driven and is always working to assess the current real estate market. He is very interested in finding the best value for his buyers. He is extremely trustworthy and honest. Highly recommended. Very enjoyable to work with and a kind person.“ - Diana M .

“Let's be honest... Most agents will tell you whatever you want to hear just to get you to sign the listing agreement. If you are looking for an agent to be honest and upfront about everything to do with your home, then Paddy Kehoe is your Agent. Paddy is not afraid to have those tough conversations with you about your home. He will tell you the truth every time, even if he knows you don't want to hear it. this trait is VERY hard to find in Real Estate agents these days I am a local builder and also a RE agent. I could list my homes if I wanted to, but Paddy has proven his worth time and time again. He will do whatever it takes to help you get the best price for your home, even if that means he has to get his hands dirty.“ - Ramon R .

“Paddy is a fantastic agent.  It took us a while to find our dream home in Moraga in this hot market.  Paddy kept us laser focused and patient, sticking closely to our specs.  In the end we couldn't have asked for a better home and agent experience.  Paddy is extremely attentive and responsive, and has a client's dream mix of area knowledge, business savvy, hustle and personal skills.  He knows all the area brokers very well and has a line into listings well before they hit market.   After months of working together we feel like Paddy became a friend of the family.  We trusted him to treat a situation like it was his money at stake, and his strategy and efforts through our offer acceptance proved that.  Truly a gem of a broker.   Highly recommend.“ - Matt D.

“I'm writing this on behalf of my mom. She was very satisfied with Paddy's work on selling our home. He staged our house well, mailed out postcards around Lafayette and took great photos of our home. He can really see the potential of a house and knows what's happening on the market. She's very satisfied with her selling price!“ - RL.

★★★★★
“You would be hard pressed to find a realtor with more knowledge of the area and the it's most up to date market. That mixed with long-time experience in the industry, you can rest assured that Paddy is a full service realtor who you can trust with the one of your most important purchases or sales in life. Honestly never thought I'd say this going through a real estate transaction, but had the best time working with you! Thank you Paddy!“ - Amanda L.

“Buying a house is an exciting and fun time but can be nerve racking and a really difficult decision. Being such a big decision would highly recommend Paddy as you will not find a more honest and patient person that made our experience of finding our dream home a reality and fun experience! Paddy works around the clock and was extremely knowledgeable about the area, has a construction background and great sense of humor! I would recommend Paddy and we are extremely happy in our new home!“ - Tom F.

“Patrick "Paddy" Kehoe is a wonderful man and a true professional. Paddy is from Ireland, which you will quickly figure out when you speak with him.  I think that his Irish upbringing might be what makes him such a great agent to deal with.  He treats you like your families have known each other since the middle ages.  Paddy is not trying to make a quick buck.  He works hard to do the best for his clients.  He appears to be focused on building a reputation as the consummate professional, and in the process his clients enjoy a high level of service and professionalism that is very hard to find. When I got on Yelp to write this review I was impressed but not surprised to see nothing but five star reviews.  That is rare in my experience, but I am not surprised that Paddy has inspired that level of gratitude from his clients.“ - Ted M.

“It's not heard of that a house can be sold in so little time. But with Paddy, that's what we experienced. Not only he did everything he could as our realtor, he also went above and beyond to help us to make our house extremely presentable for the open house. For example, one afternoon he used his pickup truck to buy wood chips then delivered it to my house, after that he helped with what my gardener didn't even want to do under the scorching sun, laying the wood chips down all the tough spots where weren't previously covered. My family got to know Paddy 5 years ago when he helped us to buy our wonderful homestead in Moraga, and after that he didn't just drift away. He stayed in touch and regularly inform us on the real estate market movement in our area. With his help, we were very informed and confident on what we should see and how much to ask for our house. You can't go wrong with a very knowledgeable, informed and hardworking agent as Paddy, most importantly you will get a new friend whom will look out for the best interests for you and your family when the time comes to sell your house. My family would highly recommend Paddy to any real state buying and selling tasks without any reservation.“ - Will W.

“Paddy helped me purchase an apartment in SF, an arcane and super complicated market, where it is not even his regular East Bay market! We closed in 21 days, which is very rare in SF these days. He knows the key to success is simply listening to the clients' needs and requirements. With hard work, follow through and business savvy, Paddy creates nothing but exceptional results when it Comes to purchasing or selling a home. He is honest and sincere in all respects and tells it like it is. If he sees a flaw in a home you are interested in, he will be sure to point it out, even though I may cost him. He hs his clients' best interest at heart.“ - Ati S.

★★★★★
“I was very pleased with Paddy's process and results. Our first meeting was a very informative consultation on the process of selling a home in Lafayette and the market place. Paddy was able to help us determine the best price to list and what to do in order to prepare the home for sell. With his advice we decided to list the home at a very competitive price and within two weeks, one open house, we had three solid offers. The home ended up selling much higher than asking and much higher than expected. Paddy was attentive through the entire process including final title signing.  I would buy and or sell a home with Paddy in the future.“ - Derek D.

★★★★★
“Paddy is truly as good as it gets.  We just bought our first house and it was evident early on that we clearly had no idea what we were doing. Paddy was patient, kind and caring while we honed in on our desired neighborhood.  I would also like to preface that we are avid HGTV watchers and would walk into every house thinking we could change everything.  Paddy was nice enough to entertain our ideas and then nicely tell us that if we wanted to change that many things it wasn’t the house for us.  Paddy much rather his clients find the home of their dreams then allow them to make an offer on a house just to make an offer. He is real and upfront about the hurdles you will go through and, honestly, the only reason we didn’t cry ourselves to sleep every night from this crazy market.  If we ever move again i am pretty sure we will only be looking in areas that Paddy covers. We refuse to work with anyone else. Thank YOU thank YOU Paddy for EVERYTHING!!!“ - Erica S.

★★★★★
“All these 5 stars are spot on.  I am a very up-front, transparent person and I expect the same with people I deal with...that is why I am lucky to find Paddy. We recently closed on our perfect house with Paddy guiding along the way.  He works hard, always available, has great insight into the real estate market and is extremely transparent.  If you are serious about buying or selling a home, call him.“ - Carl H.

“Trustworthy. Attention to details, especially when they matter. Honest. Accessible. Ethical. Committed to excellence. Tenacious. Yeah, you've got the idea.  A professional who works hard on your behalf and you'll want to root for him. Go Paddy!.“ - Helen K.

“.Paddy brought a thorough and analytical approach to selling our Orinda house in the Fall of 2015. He looked through forty comparable sales to help us come up with not the easiest price for him to sell but the one most likely to maximize value for us-even if it meant more work for him. He was invariably responsive and thoughtful about the hundred details that came up in the process of negotiating a sale. It made what could have been a very stressful experience smooth. Highly recommended!“ - Richard K.

★★★★★
“I can't speak highly enough about the service provided by Paddy and his team. In a difficult market, Paddy correctly priced our home and sold it quickly. Paddy's recommendations combine his vast experience of the Lamorinda market with a Data Driven approach, resulting in realistic estimates. Paddy remains very accessible throughout the buy and sell process, as is his super capable assistant Alyson. I would highly recommend the Paddy Kehoe Team if you are thinking of buying a home or selling your home. You absolutely will not regret it.“ - James M.

★★★★★
“We turned to Paddy Kehoe and his Team when we needed to sell our Lafayette home of 45+ years. They helped us every step of the way. Paddy and his wonderful assistant Alyson were always available with advice and answers - from setting an asking price to deciding on the many necessary updates to understanding the many unfamiliar documents. We worked with his stager/decorator and contractors to modernize our home while retaining its unique character. When it came time to respond to offers, Paddy worked his magic based on years of experience. He negotiated a sale price over-asking in a housing market that was beginning to soften. Thank You Paddy Kehoe Team“ - Susan S.

“Paddy was an amazing resource and got us into the home of our dreams.. We moved to the Bay Area two years ago with nary a clue as to how long we'd be here. As we settled in, we decided that the Lamorinda area was where we could see ourselves for years to come. Paddy guided us through our home buying process by showing us a variety of different homes. Because of the area and our price point, the homes weren't always perfect but Paddy was quick to advise us on the pros and cons and never pressured us into anything. I fully trusted and valued his opinion and really appreciated his insight.  We ended up finding THE home and it wouldn't have been possible without Paddy. Truly a professional and a great agent. Can't say enough good things about him!“ - Bryan H.

“Paddy is a superstar!  I am a licensed real estate broker, but chose to have Paddy list my home in Lafayette due to it being a non-standard property. Paddy is super-responsive, very knowledgeable about Lafayette real estate, helpful, smart, a good negotiator and a valuable resource. He told us the hard truth about pricing to expect, what repairs to make, and how long it would take to sell the house. In all areas, he was spot-on. He managed the listing and sale perfectly and there were no hiccups.  I couldn't have asked for more. Highly recommended.“ - Edward Z.

★★★★★
“Paddy Kehoe and Claudia Gohler recently represented us on selling our home in Sleepy Hollow in Orinda and it was the best and easiest experience I have had selling a house. I highly recommend them.  We listed our house and the first weekend had a crazy storm. They made sure that the staged outdoor furniture was brought in from the rain off and on for 3 weeks. I hadn't even thought of that and was so glad it wasn't damaged. When I couldn't attend an inspection the handled it for me. I got great advice throughout the process and our home sold above what we hoped to get for it and in only 2 1/2 weeks. They managed the timeline for me and made sure things went smoothly. The best part is they were honest and transparent and didn't play games. Our last realtor didn't tell the seller to remove a shed until last minute which put them in a tough spot. I like dealing with realtors with high integrity and would definitely use Paddy and Claudia again.“ - Julie O.

“I was introduced to Paddy in March 2015 by a friend who purchased a home in Orinda. Paddy was very easy to work with and used a good approach to shortlist relevant houses based on my needs. He spent a lot of time with me in visiting various places in the Lamorinda area. We bought our home in Moraga in the summer of 2015. We are well settled and very happy with the decision made and Paddy's professional advice and assistance through the process.“ - Vin M.

“I recently sold my home in Lafayette, and was lucky enough to run across Paddy Kehoe in the process.  I have worked with many other Agents in the past both to sell and to purchase. Not one of those agents did I feel had my needs 100% ahead of their own interests. During the time Paddy Picked up my listing, from another unsuccessful agent, to the closing, Paddy gave me some of the most honest feedback I had ever heard. This was not only a shock, but lead a better understanding of all goals and the factors affecting my sale. My home was beautiful, but unique in the way that makes it difficult to envision. Paddy was able to get me to embrace these facts and was absolutely amazing at accurately portraying my home and bringing out its true beauty. I could not believe how quickly it sold. I had been a little stressed with my previous agent. It had been on the market for longer than I had expected and I began to think we were asking too much. Paddy proved that wrong by being under contract at a higher amount in under a week. I credit his character and his unique ability to bring out the best parts of a home. Throughout the entire process Paddy was easy to work with, honest, and a visionary. I am so glad to have found him and will be recommending him to anyone in this area.“ - Erik O.
