"Tamara and Kip were absolutely a pleasure to work with and highly knowledgeable! We couldn’t have asked for more a professional team to work with. Every question was answered, every problem solved. They put their all into our home sale. What more could you ask for a realtor team? Nothing. They were the best. I absolutely recommend them!! " -- Kristen T.

"When contemplating selling our house we sought a Realtor who was professional, was well established in the real estate business, knowledgeable and understanding. Kip Barnard encompassed all of these attributes. Kip is an excellent coach...he knew exactly what we needed to accomplish to prepare our house for sale. And when it was ready, it sold immediately, for a price which exceeded our expectations. We are very satisfied and would recommend Kip to anyone looking for an excellent Realtor." - Philip M.

"JWe have used Kip and Tam to stage and sell two houses for us in the last decade. Tamera set up the house beautifully and advised us on how to declutter and make the house appealing to the most diverse set of potential buyers. Kip patiently guided us through the many steps of selling the house, and was basically available 7 days a week for late night questions and advice. When there were roadblocks Kip was very effective getting the process moving again. When adjustments needed to be made to make the property competitive in the market Kip was frank with but did not pressure us and gave us space to make our own decision. I heartily recommend Kip and Tam for your real estate needs." -- Evan W.

"It was always a pleasure working with Kip Barnard as our real estate agent. My husband and I couldn't have been assigned a better agent through our bank. We were first-time home buyers and Kip made the whole process as easy as he could. At our first meeting with him at his office he walked us through the contract of buying a home which was very informative and helpful and gave us an understanding of what would be in our future. He was always available to go look at houses with us and even ones on the fly that we had not previously scheduled to see with him. He is very knowledgable about the market and we trusted and valued his opinions on everything about the process. He was also helpful in offering up suggestions on how to improve a kitchen's layout , for example. He was always in a good mood and we felt like he became our friend. Once we were ready to put an offer in on a home it was located out of his usual range but he accommodated us and thankfully completed the home buying process with us. He had a good working relationship with the seller's agent through the process of buying our home. He also made sure to attend any important meetings, especially our meeting with the Title/Deed office where we signed our final documents. Despite our difficulties with our bank that we had toward the end he always guided us through and made the process as easy as he could. He was always eager to answer questions and clear up any confusion over those wordy legal documents. My husband and I highly recommend Kip Barnard as your Real Estate Agent. If we decide to sell or purchase another home in the South Bay area he will be our guy again!" -- Samantha B.
