Paddy Kehoe Real Estate - Compass REALTOR - Lafayette, California

Sheena P.

My husband and I feel very lucky to have met Paddy and to have his help in navigating all things real estate. After patiently working with us for over a year, Paddy helped us purchase a new home in Lafayette which we are so excited about. He quickly earned our complete trust - he is very honest with his feedback and it was clear he was not just trying to get us into just any house but one that we'd be truly happy in. There were many properties we were interested in where Paddy would respectfully point out considerations - i.e. might not be best location for kids, might have issues with steep hill in backyard, might be straying away from criteria etc. - and looking back i'm so glad he kept us focused on what we were hoping for. I also love that Paddy is extremely familiar with building and remodeling - it was great to discuss ideas and potential for each of the homes we saw. I think back to a time he helped us crunch pretty detailed numbers on the cost to remodel a property we were considering making an offer on - that was so much work for a house we didn't even get but he was so generous with his time. Now after closing, Paddy is still lending his expertise and contacts to help us with our home and I truly can't thank him enough.

Paddy is a rockstar. He's a great combination having both extensive real estate knowledge and strong communication skills. He helped us move quickly in preparing our home for sale, and we were able to get on the market quickly and got offers exceeding our expectations. I've referred others to Paddy several times since as a result of my very positive experience.

Paddy sold our home in Lafayette and it was an excellent experience. I would give 10 stars if that was possible. Paddy was easy to work with, very responsive, professional and completely dedicated to helping us sell our property. Our home sold quickly with multiple offers and closed in one week. There is nothing about the process, the preparation nor the outcome that could have been done better. I would definitely use Paddy again!

I’ve known Paddy for 8 years. We hired him for three real estate transactions. Because of his knowledge and ethics, he kept us from making a horrible mistake, and for this I’m forever grateful. We have greatly benefitted from his expert advice. He really has his finger on the pulse of Lamorinda.

So when we finally sold our rental, I was thrilled to have Paddy represent us. He got us the top price for that area. He was on top of the whole process and communicated just about every detail.

He has some construction in his background, which can really benefit a buyer.

He’s well liked in the area, has great contacts in the industry, and is superior at negotiations. A top producer.

Plus he’s hilarious. A buyer is in for a treat, he’s professional, but never boring. A guy you can trust, and have a beer with.

Paddy is my agent for life, and I have and will refer him anytime with zero reservations.

The Paddy Kehoe Team is awesome. If you need to sell your house you will be in great hands. Paddy and his team helped me determine what upgrades made sense, helped get them done, with little to no effort on my part, and helped me get a great price for my house even in a challenging market. Paddy and Alyson, and the designer and contractors who work with them are honest, hard working, good communicators and took care of everything that I needed to get the house ready for sale. Selling a house can be stressful, but Paddy and his team helped to take the stress out of it. I would give him and his team the very highest recommendation. You will be very happy if you use them.

Thanks to Paddy Kehoe and his amazing team, we bought a fantastic home in a highly competitive market and sold the home we were moving out of for top dollar.

Eric Larson helped us to find the perfect home in Lafayette. In a competitive and fast-paced market, Eric was always friendly, patient, very thorough and never pushy. He is knowledgeable about the Lamorinda area, matching our needs to the right neighborhoods and homes to view. After seeing a home, Eric always took the time to engage in a conversation about the property to understand our thoughts and share his own ideas and knowledge, and helped us carefully consider each home we viewed based on our needs and goals. As homes came on market, Eric always took into consideration what we did or did not want in previous homes, so our time was never wasted. He is very responsive, and made sure when he was out of town or not readily available, that we had a channel of communication set up with his team who we could go to. There was zero pressure to bid on a home or push back on any of our decisions to not make a bid. However, if he had some knowledge of a home going way over our budget, he made us aware so we could move on.

Even though Eric was the primary agent on the Paddy Kehoe team that we worked with as Buyers, the extended team were all great contributors to help us secure our new home. Paddy introduced us to an amazing Mortgage Broker, a true master in communication and follow-up, who worked with us early on to make sure we could move fast when we had an offer accepted. Eric and our mortgage broker were a great team, making sure any of our offers were thorough and that our loan approval was seamless. In this market, Buyers need someone fast but thorough to find a new home and put in a successful offer, and Eric definitely meets those needs.

We continued to use Paddy Kehoe and his team as Sellers. As we were occupied with moving into our new home, we easily put our confidence in Paddy and Brittany to fully manage the preparation of our home to sell. They scheduled all the inspections, counseled us about what work would be most impactful for sale, but were also very respectful of our decisions if there was something we didn’t want to do. The communication across the team (Paddy, Brittany, Michelle) were always aligned, they were all very responsive when we had questions and provided timely reminders if there was action required on our part. Paddy has a great understanding of the market, where to price our home, and thus we received several outstanding offers, many above what we were asking for.

Even now that we have settled into our new home, and have closed the sale on our previous home, Paddy continues to support us in our new community in Lafayette, whether it's greeting us in the neighborhood or at school events, or in sharing recommendations for home projects. We also have come to learn how involved and supportive Paddy is in the community, and this makes us even more confident in recommending Paddy and his team. Whether buying or selling, there isn’t one weakness in Paddy Kehoe’s team. They work very hard for their buyers and sellers, and are all a real pleasure to work with throughout the process.

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 the homes we visited. We felt like his #1 goal was to get us into the home that was right for us. 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 and was super responsive throughout the entire process. Highly recommended.

Back in August, 2019, my husband and I hired Paddy Kehoe to handle the sale of our home in Lafayette, California. We chose Paddy in part because of the great reviews, but it was meeting him in person that really convinced us. He's one of the nicest and most competent people you would hope to take care of something this important. It turned out that we were right: hiring Paddy was one of the best decisions we ever made. Our situation was a bit challenging: we needed Paddy to handle everything about the house sale while we were out of the country, since we had moved to Amsterdam (Netherlands). In fact, when we met Paddy, we had returned to California for a few days to pack up our house and ship a few things back to Amsterdam. From that point on, Paddy took care of everything. We didn't want to put the house on the market until the following spring, since our (adult) daughter was staying there, and of course, we had no idea that a major pandemic would turn the world upside down in the interim. By the time our daughter had moved out, the shelter-in-place had started, and we were worried about not being able to sell. But Paddy pulled it off, and he got us a great price. Throughout, Paddy was totally accessible, promptly returning emails and phone calls. He cared about our home sale as if it were his own. We can't recommend him highly enough. He's awesome!
