Paddy Kehoe Team
“We could not have asked for a better partner than Paddy during our home buying journey. He and his team were incredible, and we enthusiastically recommend them to anyone looking for a home here.
Paddy has exceptional knowledge of the Lafayette, Orinda, and Moraga town and the nuances of each neighborhood therein. This helped guide us towards specific parts of each town and quickly understand which houses on the market weren’t suited for our criteria. Given his depth of knowledge and experience buying/selling homes in our area, Paddy was also able to give us key insights and perspectives when it came to understanding listing prices and appropriate offers for homes. This was extremely valuable given how quickly homes sell in this market, as it helped us avoid rushing into the offer process without the right price awareness. In addition, Paddy’s relationship with Compass Real Estate allowed us to tour or identify homes before they came on the market. This was a distinct advantage for us in this competitive real estate market and played a crucial part in securing our new home.
On the communication side, Paddy is extremely responsive and is quick to reach out as things change, whether that’s a new home coming to market or a detail to be worked out as part of closing. We found the online portal to be very user friendly and allowed us to quickly collaborate with Paddy on which homes we wanted to tour or discuss. Paddy patiently and expertly guided us through the buying process of our home at the end, where we exchanged hundreds of questions, texts, and emails. His experience lent itself to quickly resolving these questions and also aided us in securing extra value that we wouldn’t have known to explore.
We found the open home touring process to be very easy and smooth. Paddy always had time for us when we had one home we wanted to see or a handful to see. We would discuss a list of homes with Paddy and he would do the necessary coordination to ensure we had access to the homes outside of a general open house. This made for a very expedient home touring process, where as a group we could walk through the homes, talk through potential issues, and discuss future improvements. Paddy’s background in construction and home building was invaluable with the home touring process. He helped us understand which issues with the houses were critical and which were actually more minor in nature. We could talk through potential enhancements and improvements, understanding what was feasible and what was not, which helped us narrow our home search.
Paddy truly had our best interests at heart. He never pressured us into making an offer, and he was equally dedicated to ensuring we didn't settle on a home that wasn't the right fit. Paddy truly wants to help you find the right home. He takes the time to understand what you're looking for and accordingly makes recommendations on neighborhoods and homes. We looked at many different homes and Paddy was extremely patient and supportive with the entire process.
We will be reaching out to Paddy again if we find ourselves moving again (we found a perfect home, so I don’t think that’ll be any time soon). Again, we highly recommend Paddy and team if you’re looking to move into the area.”
