About KIP
Welcome - we're happy to see you here!
Thanks to the trust-based relationships we've formed with our residential real estate clients across the Bay Area over the past 19 years, coupled with a business rooted in leveraging life experience, adhering to personal values and daily renewing commitments to being better, we have built a reputation we're proud of.
We believe developing personal as well as professional connections with each client is integral to building and maintaining the trust and confidence foundational to investment success. We commit to a commnication and ideas-based partnership to collectively succeed. Whether it be a traditional sale/purchase, multi-unit tenant placement and management or an accessible living project, we enthusiastically honor our professional ... and equally human ... approach to each service and situation.
Our 19 years in residential real estate sales and property management are enhanced by unique lived experience and an analytics background. We informatively and effectively consult on each client's need/goal set to develop and implement tailored solutions.
We pledge to keep clients connected to each transaction by being a little old school .... we remain available and responsive to you directly by phone, text or email throughout. Communication is just as integral to building and maintaining trust today as it has always been. No matter how cutting-edge technology becomes, we believe the human element is - and will always be - the ideal medium to ensure the communication/trust dynamic.
With the above as our foundation, we will exceed your expectations.

Our services
Tenant Placement
TENANT PLACEMENT : We coordinate all steps to get your property rent-ready. We provide photography & tailored marketing language to most effectively advertise your home on all the major rental sites. We screen inquiries/applicants and conduct in-person property tours (ask us why this is critical!). Once a vetted, qualified prospective tenant is identified, we finalize a comprehensive lease & collect funds which pass right along to you to invest how you'd like! The fee is 67% of 1 month's rent ($1500 min.)
Project Management
PROJECT MANAGEMENT: Included in the Tenant Placement service, we evaluate your property's needs to be compliant with building/safety codes and habitability requirements and also be set to return the highest market rent. We coordinate with vetted, independent vendors to complete the work with an urgency to accommodate finding a tenant quickly without compromising tenant quality.
Property Management
ON-GOING MANAGEMENT: For a flat fee of $195/mo for a single property (price scales if more units are managed), we provide full-service property management. We are your sole contact so communication is direct, efficient, tailored and timely. You remain detached from the daily details of the property, leaving tenant and vendor interactions to us so you can enjoy the fruits of your investments.
Residential Purchase/Sale
PURCHASE/SALE: In this volatile market, we not only listen to and incorporate your needs and wants into a real estate investment, we also guide and advise you objectively to ensure your investment is personal AND makes financial sense. We deliver the facts, good or bad, so you can invest confidently in the knowledge of all the numbers and conditions relevant to the deal. Whether this is to enhance your investment portfolio, or this is a personal purchase or sale, high-touch, data analysis, as well as feature preferences are all considered to identify the ideal property.
Investment Sales/1031 Exchange
INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS: We deliver consulting to identify investment property that meets your specific goals including providing an experience-supported market analysis, rental price analysis, ROI financial projection and referral to our 1031 partner, if needed.
Accessible Living/Aging-in-Place (Coming Soon)
AGING-IN-PLACE/ACCESSIBLE LIVING: *We are very excited about this late 2026 coming soon service. * Born from lived experience building & remodeling homes for Holly's disabled/aging family members, we incorporate her first hand ADA design savvy and insight on how to use uncommon materials and cutting-edge features to redefine "accessible" as *beautiful.* Creating a home that elicits joy, the highest quality of life and optimized longevity (engendered by being "home") is our heartfelt goal. Transitioning from a home that just won't be practical long-term, to a home we, together, bring to life, you'll discover renewed motivaiton to continue *living*! You'll retain personal agency and identity, stay in your beloved community and keep, rather than sell, what is likely your most valuable asset. You'll be blow away by the impact prolonged independence and engagement with yourself, your family, your friends and world will stoke your spirit's fire.
