About Philip
I have been practicing real estate in Alameda for over two decades. I have lived here since 2001. My mother, Marlynn Kaake, taught science at Lincoln Middle School for 32 years. I raised my Son here and live in the East End with my wife and dog “Travis”.
If you're considering buying or selling real estate, do you want someone who claims to be the #1 Realtor, or in the Top 1%? I don’t claim to be either. What I do promise is that after twenty years of helping people buy and sell homes throughout the Bay Area, I have the professional and life experience to help you navigate the process with compassion and grace. Because let’s be honest, buying or selling a home is never stress-free. I can just help make it a little less stressful.
Testimonials
“We first met Philip about six months before we were going to put our Alameda on the market, and he was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process of getting the ready. He recommended several contractors who were very responsive, reasonably priced and did a great job (floors, carpet, yard, inspectors, painters). Whenever I had a question or concern, I could call or text Philip and he would always make himself available ASAP. He is friendly, easy-going and always professional, and he has some great marketing techniques, including a narrated video walkthrough of the property and surrounding neighborhood and his own well-done photos (he is a professional photographer). He also has a great sense of style that was a plus when we were picking paint colors and making other design decisions. And when it came time to consider the various offers we received, I trusted his judgment. All in all, as stressful as selling a can be, he made it a much easier experience (this was my fourth time selling a home) and I was very happy with the outcome.”

“As an absentee homeowner in Alameda, I required a realtor who could handle everything from landscaping to closing with minimal involvement on my part. Philip Kaake did exactly that with masterful attention to detail. In addition, he was instrumental in persuading my tenant to vacate the home without resorting to legal proceedings and negotiated a deal substantially above my asking price. I have many homes over the years and have never known a real estate professional any better than Philip.”
