About Philip
I have been a full-time real estate agent in the East Bay for over two decades. I grew up riding my bike for my paper route in Berkeley and remain an avid cyclist to this day. There are very few neighborhoods I do not know intimately throughout the cities of Alameda, Berkeley, Albany, El Cerrito, Oakland & San Leandro. These are the cities in which I primarily work; however, I have helped people as far north as Vallejo and as far East as Concord & Brentwood. Although I believe in the importance of neighborhood expertise, I also know, from hard-won experience as an agent and through my knowledge of the business, that I can confidently represent my clients skillfully anywhere.
If you're considering selling or buying a home, do you want someone who claims to be the #1 Realtor or a Top Producer in the Top whatever percent? These terms are thrown around a lot in my business, and we all love to get accolades. What I do claim is the years of professional experience in what it takes to successfully buy or sell a home. And the 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. What I offer is honest, straightforward solutions as a trusted adviser who puts your interests first, and, hopefully, that makes it 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.”
