Kira is absolutely outstanding. Her knowledge, experience, and expertise is second to none. She is kind, considerate, patient, and genuinely wants to make sure she help her clients choose the right home for them. We had a bad experience with our realtor prior to connecting with Kira. She helped us through that and also paid a percentage to our previous realtor, when we were not recommended to Kira by him. It didn't stop there! She connected us to great contractors, plumbers, insurance experts etc. and gave us lots of tips about the area. She is such a wonderful relator and an exceptional person. My husband and I highly recommend her.— Rebecca & Mark
Working with Kira had been such a blessing. I don't have to worry about a thing and she gives me frequent updates and lined everything out beautifully. Very detail oriented and warm and kind. Selling a house is anxiety inducing but Kira is the best thing for it. Love deferring to her knowledge, expertise, and experience.— Jennifer P.
Kira worked patiently with us through several directional changes (wrestling with what attributes matter most when you cannot have it all). Her expertise regarding how homes price across differing competitive contexts, what DD issues to worry about, and creating a renovation vision were all highly useful. As first-time homeowners, we also benefitted from her extensive network of qualified trades people. Thanks Tam Realty!— Matthew H.
(March 2024) Before ending up with Kira as our agent, we had worked with another agent and nothing happened. She claimed it was a slow market and said we should be patient. Well, we weren't patient and we canceled that listing agreement. When Kira came into the picture, it was a different story. Nothing slow about it at all. We followed all her suggestions and boom! the property was sold after the 1st open house. Admittedly our expectations were low after the experience with the first agent, but still ... tada!! ... escrow closed less than a month after the listing agreement with Kira was signed. And the first half of that month it wasn't even on t...— Dan H.
If you want to buy a home in Marin County, you need Drew as your realtor. After interviewing a handful of realtors in the Bay Area, my husband and I found Drew through a friend and instantly liked him. He's a breath of fresh air from other realtors we talked to who were too pushy, showy, or overconfident. Drew showed us 20+ homes in six weeks, walked us through inspection reports (as first-time home buyers we didn't know what to expect), was extremely patient and available to answer our endless questions, and helped calm our nerves and lift our spirits during an emotional house hunt, as anyone in the Bay Area can relate to. He never pressured us to...— Melody and Easar
Selling my first home was a daunting experience but made easy by Kira. She guided me through every step of the way and was a friendly, knowledgeable and supportive presence. She seemed to know every reputable contact to for with the sewer lateral, contract work and staging, and really helped get things done. Kira is an excellent communicator and proactively kept me posted on how the sale was going and gave excellent advice. I couldn't recommend her more highly.— Marc
My wife and I recently closed on a home, with great thanks to Drew. He was there every step of the way, answered countless questions, helped us choose a lender, inspector, structural engineer, potential contractors, and eventually made suggestions that got our offer accepted. We initially began using Redfin and Open Listings, but met Drew at a property he was showing and quickly realized that his friendly demeanor and expertise of the Marin market would be beneficial to our search. Drew quickly got to work assisting us, sharing listings, making suggestions, answering our emails into the night, and making recommendations to save us time. He worked ...— Brooke & Jordan
Kira did a great job navigating a complicated sale on a condo. She was professional, calm, and persistent without being annoying. She really goes the extra mile to answer questions, and has great local contacts for all disciplines related to a home purchase. I highly recommend using her!— Megan
David and Kira are incredibly knowledgeable and tied into the community in San Anselmo, with a great understanding of the Marin marketplace.— Sean G.
I've used many different realtors throughout the country and Drew was by far the best realtor I've had the pleasure to work with. He was very attentive to my family's needs and went above and beyond to find us the perfect house. If you're looking for a knowledgeable realtor that knows Marin County inside and out, you can't go wrong with Drew. Highly recommended!— Kimi and Neal
David and Kira worked exceptionally hard to secure us an off-market home in Marin. It was not an easy process but throughout it all, they were accessible, patient, and thorough. Tam Realty markets its business as having an authentic human touch, and I think that is underselling it. They become family.— Max E.
Kira and David helped us find our house in Larkspur in July 2016. They were a delight to work with, helping us understand the area - Neighborhoods, school districts, and price expectations. We always felt like they had our best interest in mind, they were on top of the market / new listings and gave us good advice without being pushy or presumptive. We consider ourselves lucky to have worked with them and would highly recommend them.— Julie T.
Drew worked with me and my partner tirelessly and with incredible patience for over a year while we searched for a new home. During that time, he not only provided great insight into neighborhoods and markets, but continually searched on our behalf. He would contact us after every agent open house, suggest pre-market opportunities, and generally take the time to listen to our feedback. Of all the agents we worked with, no one took as much time to understand what we wanted. No one set aside as much time to physically show us places. No one came close to being as aggressive and timely to highlight new listings that might be of interest. Drew is uniq...— Rob and Veronica
We met Kira and her husband David through Yelp. They recently helped us facilitate a private sale. Both of them were highly personable, very professional, and extremely knowledgeable of the process and the market. They gave us a very fair price for their services and went above and beyond to help us buy our house. We are very grateful for all their hard work, and will definitely be contacting them when we sell our house in the future.— Emily B.
Fantastic service from start to finish! When we first interviewed Kira and David we got the feeling they would be the perfect people to help us find our first home. Early on they were very patient as they guided us through local neighborhoods and showed us a personalized range of properties each weekend to help define what was most important to us. They were also very encouraging as we toured houses in a tough market, seemingly not able to find anything we wanted. Throughout their estimates of property sale prices were spot on and they were also on hand to give us a reality check when our expectations were unrealistic.Their local connections and rep...— Earwaker P.
Yes, I am leaving this review in multiple places. We connected with Kira and David when they showed us a house and quickly started working with them directly. Within a week we'd found a house and within another couple of weeks, we were in the house. They know everyone in the San Anselmo area and everyone (title, surveyors, other Realtors®) is happy to work with them. I can say hand in heart we would not have found our home without their help and we would not have closed successfully without their honest efforts. Thank you!— Liam B.
I don't think you can find a team of agents with deeper knowledge and expertise of Marin. David and Kira know the Marin school systems inside and out, have terrific advice for cost-effective ways to improve a property or tailor it to your specifications, and seem to know and get along well with every other agent out there (Huge in such a relationship-driven business). We couldn't recommend them highly enough. for anyone seeking a house in Marin (even though they're based in San Anselmo they're well connected throughout the county).— Gavin C.
We truly enjoyed working with Kira and David, and could not have asked for better agents to help us find and buy our first home. They are very knowledgeable about Marin and all of its neighborhoods. They have great relationships with other agents and are very up-to-date with what is going on in the market. As first-time home buyers and new residents of Marin, they taught us a lot about the process and the area. They were very patient with us and encouraging in a very competitive market. I would definitely recommend Tam Realty to anyone looking to buy a home in Marin.— Lauren A.
If you're buying a house in Marin, Kira and David are phenomenal. My wife and I recently closed on a house in San Anselmo and they both worked with us the whole way. Their expertise in Marin and their connections to San Anselmo are second to none. When we'd go look at homes they'd tell us about the town, the specific neighborhood, and many times even introduce us to people on the block that they'd sold houses in the past. We are so thankful to have found Kira and David and are incredibly happy settling into our new home. If you have the chance to work with them, jump on it.— Aaron M.
David and Kira of Tam Realty were amazing for us in finding our first home in Marin. They culled through hundreds of real estate listings and showed us exactly the ones we were looking for. When they saw the house we ended up buying, they knew before we even saw it that it was the one. They are great at listening to what is important to you and going out and finding it. Finally, they are no pressure agents - they want what's right for you when it's right for you. All in all, these guys are the best in Marin we have seen. Strongly recommend them for your real estate needs - buying or selling.— Jam A.
Kira and David are the best! They helped us buy our home in July 2016 and they consistently went above and beyond every step of the way. They have a great rapport with other agents, and every other person from financing to closing, which made a huge difference in making things run smoothly. They were so generous in sharing their network of contacts for everything we needed for our home even long after the closing. If you are looking for an agent that is incredibly knowledgeable about the Marin market, values relationships over sales, and always has your best interest at heart, look no further!— Monica H.
We recently used David and Kira to buy a new house and sell our old home in San Anselmo. Each property was unique and the nature of the transactions was quite different. They really helped us to navigate the buying and selling process, which can be overwhelming at times. In the end, there were no surprises and everything went according to the timeline they laid out. When selling our home, they had great advice about minor investments in curb appeal and staging and we felt that we truly achieved the maximum sale price. David and Kira definitely added a lot of value to the process and are great people to work with.— Jonathan T.
My husband and I couldn't have asked for a better team of Realtors®. With David and Kira, you don't have one person's expertise and knowledge, you have two! They are extremely professional, and knowledgeable and want only the best for their clients, genuinely. They went above and beyond even after we bought our house with them to welcome us to the neighborhood from helping us find the best places to eat, to recommending contractors. Do yourself a favor and work with them they will not steer you wrong. A friend of mine had recommended going with them and I am eternally grateful! We have the best house in the best neighborhood thanks to them!— Vanessa C.
Kira and David are excellent agents! We had heard about them through friends and randomly stopped by their office during the Annual Country Fair in downtown San Anselmo! Although the day was bustling and they were in the company of friends and their children - they still showed us undivided attention and connected over email within 24 hours. Within three months of meeting, they guided us through the process of purchasing an amazing home. Their approachable demeanor, responsiveness to inquiries, and honest guidance are priceless. If you're looking for a team of agents who are prompt, super knowledgeable, and respected within the real estate community...— Matt R
Kira and David have been wonderful to work with heartfelt gratitude for their experience, perspective, knowledge, connections, guidance, attention to detail, patience, and sincere care. They helped me find the home I loved for so many years and then helped me to sell it for over the asking price, with their negotiating skill and finesse. Seamless transactions with their help and guidance. They have always held my interests and needs with the greatest respect and care. They have been a blessing through these years, a trusted reliable source of information, inspiration, and care. Kira and David are of the highest integrity and have felt like part of m...— Marilynne C.
We loved working with David and Kira on the recent purchase of our home. They're nice, super responsive, and patient, and definitely didn't pressure us into making aggressive offers just because the market is hot and inventory is low - both of which were true in the summer of 2020 in Marin. David and Kira are long-time Marin residents and know a lot about different neighborhoods, their desirability, and the reasons behind their different valuations. David also has past experience serving on the San Anselmo building and planning commission and is really knowledgeable about what can be done to a candidate property and help you really assess the real l...— Ben W.
My wife and I loved working with Kira and David to purchase our first home in September 2016! We were looking for a 2 or 3-bedroom condo in the Novato area, and they were able to provide lots of good advice, a friendly sounding board for our ideas, and ultimately our perfect home! We felt like they provided their undivided attention throughout the process, and after a couple of weekends spent viewing properties and two offers, we had our house. While we were visiting properties, they were knowledgeable and honest about each area, and ultimately that helped us to focus on the best possible neighborhoods. Finally, during the closing process, they were...— Ian S.
Let's face it, moving to Marin involves creativity! Houses are small and funky, lots are on hills, and prices are really high. If you want to buy here, you need a team like Kira and David that can help you see the potential behind the funky house, the view from the hill if you trimmed a tree or two, the location's charm, and the high prices as a small price to pay for investing in an amazing lifestyle. Using their strong backgrounds in real estate and remodeling Kira and David masterfully helped us locate the perfect home, negotiate a fair price, navigate inspections, and muddle through paperwork and they put together a team, including a great finan...— Elizabeth
Kira and Dave were amazing to work with. Being new home buyers in a competitive market was intimidating, but Kira and dave walked us through every step of the way and really made our home search enjoyable. They listened to our needs, took us on a tour around all of Marin county, and pointed out the pros and the cons of all the cities associated. We were then able to pinpoint where we wanted to live and they hit the mark on all the properties we viewed. We eventually settled on our forever home and are so grateful for all their help. They truly are experts in the area, provided helpful tips and tricks to some minor improvements we could do to our hou...— Adam M.
We were lucky enough to meet David and Kira when searching for a home in Marin county. Though we lived in l.A. And it was hard to keep up with our changing needs, they were great about providing digital updates including visits and iPhone videos on any house we expressed interest in. They're a pleasure to hang out with and we appreciated their honesty (Since they look out for the client and not the deal). More than once, one of us tried to look past a house's problems or flaws out of a desire to finally just land somewhere - only to be talked down by d and k, who would remind us the lot wasn't the size we wanted or the work was likely more than we w...— William W.
Yelp, you've come through yet again. I'm not one to generally write reviews, but Kira and David (and Yelp) absolutely deserve some recognition here. As first-time home buyers, we knew little to nothing about the home buying process but knew we wanted to buy a home in Marin and knew the excellence of Yelp reviewers. It did seem a little strange at the time to choose the agent who assists you with the largest purchase of your life based on a website (and yes we heard such comments from our family and friends); but in the end, we couldn't be happier with our new home and none of it would have been possible without the knowledge, professionalism, patien...— JJ J.
We were lucky enough to be connected with David and Kira in May 2014. We had just finished traveling for the holidays, moving to Marin while our condo in San Francisco was on the market - all while caring for our first kid. We met with them and weren't quite ready to jump into buying; we were exhausted from the moving and sale process. That plan went out the window fast... We told them what we wanted: schools, schools, schools, a place we could make changes to over time, and a great community. The following week they introduced us to San Anselmo. They knew exactly what we wanted because the first place they showed us was perfect. They knew we like...— Brian S.
