Testimonials



From Paul Curtis

Kurt Piper exemplifies professional real estate service. His expertise in the sale and purchase process makes the difference for me. With Kurt’s help I have bought and sold multiple personal residences and investment properties and every transaction has been handled professionally, personally and with great care and attention to every detail. There are several local agents in our community that I know personally and they also provide high quality service, however because of Kurt’s overall abilities and past performance, I will only utilize and recommend Kurt for my real estate transactions. Kurt Piper is a true pro who provides first class service.

From Keb and Monica Byers

Over the last 7 years, we have moved 2 times and have used Kurt Piper as our real estate agent in both transactions. When we were ready to sell our first house, we researched several agents, but sought him out as our listing agent because, in our opinion, he was the best in the area. We were not disappointed. While we were looking for homes, Kurt was patient and helpful as we searched for our perfect home. He took the time to gain a good understanding of what we were looking for and showed us many homes. During the transactions, we appreciated his strong sense of the market and the area. Because of this, we trusted his advice completely during the negotiations and found him to be fair, aggressive and knowledgeable. We would not hesitate to use Kurt in the future and would strongly recommend him to anyone!

 

From Steve and Jane Johnson

Once we decided to purchase our first home in the Lamorinda area, we asked friends and colleagues for recommendations of realtors. We narrowed our list to five and began meeting with realtors to determine who would be the best fit for us. After meeting with two realtors, we realized that most people don?t interview realtors. But, as first time home buyers we wanted to find the best representation available. Our third meeting was with Kurt. Through our intial emails and phone calls, he demonstrated his responsiveness and professionalism. Once we met with Kurt, our decision was an easy one. Kurt explained his process, what we could expect from him and his knowledge of the area. He is straightforward and honest. As first time home buyers, Kurt’s expertise was invaluable as he led us through every step of our transaction. We love our new home in Orinda and continue to benefit from Kurt?s local knowledge through his preferred vendors. We?ve completed several home improvement projects since our purchase and all of Kurt?s vendor recommendations have been stellar. We would highly recommend Kurt to anyone looking for a home in the Lamorinda area.

From Lelia Douglah

When my husband and I needed the services of an agent to assist us with finding a new home, we took two important factors into consideration; those are integrity and knowledge of the local area. Kurt Piper fit the bill perfectly! He was always available to answer questions and didn’t hesitate to spend as much time as we needed for our search. Kurt’s knowledge of the local area was invaluable, as he could point out pluses and minuses of various locations depending on your personal circumstances and desires. Kurt showed us countless properties without the least hint of pressure to act sooner than we were ready and comfortable. After finding the perfect property, he walked us seamlessly through the process to its completion. Anyone needing an agent in this area would be well served by contacting Kurt Piper!

 

 

From Hillel and Vici Resner

Kurt calmly and steadfastly, steered us through our transaction that ended well for all concerned. He was a conduit connecting all the parts: he quickly lined up the various house inspections, stayed closely in touch with the lending brokers, the title company and us. As we were moving to a much smaller house he gave us suggestions for storage and recommended a reliable moving company. During a time that has to be stressful for all, and certainly for us this was true, he was a steadying force and generated a wealth on confidence. Kurt is the reliable, ethical, hard working, and connected realtor that everyone should be fortunate enough to work with whether it involves selling a home or buying a home.

From Nancy Vasco

Kurt is the man who will get the job done! I sold my Lafayette home in June 2007 in four days with three offers. He knows the local Lamorinda market inside and out and uses his local contacts and expertise to produce results. He will walk you through the entire transaction as a knowledgeable professional who cares. Kurt was my “Rock of Gibraltar” during my emotional and stressful relocation process. I have referred Kurt to two friends who have been just as satisfied as I was. He is the BEST!

 

From Matt and Jennifer Crossland

We had a very positive experience with Kurt Piper as our realtor. Our family moved across the country from New York to California. As such, we needed a significant amount of extra help with our relocation in addition to looking at homes and neighborhoods. Kurt not only set aside a great deal of time to show us area homes anytime one of us was in town and available.  His promptness and level of attention gave us a great deal of comfort in an otherwise highly stressful situation.  After selecting the home we wanted to buy, Kurt was crucial in helping us through the negotiation process with the seller, hiring the inspectors and conducting the many inspections of the home, and helping to quarterback the homes financing, escrow, appraisal, insurance, and closing. Finally, once we moved, Kurt checked in with us regularly, introduced us to neighbors, connected us with providers of extracurricular activities for our children, and generally helped us get settled. Kurt Piper is a real estate agent extraordinaire. We would strongly recommend him to anyone.

From Eric and Ana Moon

We have been so happy with the service Kurt Piper has provided us.  Through the last few years, he has been very patient with us, showing us several houses and not pressuring us at all. It was clear that he was more interested in finding us the right home than in making a sale.  We finally found a home that we liked and wanted to make an offer on. Kurt helped us with the purchase process of that house and helped us get our house on the market quickly. He used his knowledge of the market to help us price our house appropriately, and we sold relatively quickly. He was deeply involved in the inspection processes and patiently answered all of our questions. After both deals went through, Kurt has continued to be a resource for service providers for plumbing, drainage, and other work we needed to complete on our house.  We are so grateful to Kurtthat he was patient with us in our search, used his deep market knowledge to help us make critical decisions, kept a level head during stressful negotiations, and was available to us throughout the process. We really respect Kurt professionally and personally and would highly recommend him to anyone!
