Fantastic experience: We could not have asked for a better partner than Paddy during our home buying journey. He and his team were incredible, and we enthusiastically recommend them to anyone looking for a home here. Paddy has exceptional knowledge of the Lafayette, Orinda, and Moraga town and the nuances of each neighborhood therein. This helped guide us towards specific parts of each town and quickly understand which houses on the market weren’t suited for our criteria. Given his depth of knowledge and experience buying/selling homes in our area, Paddy was also able to give us key insights and perspectives when it came to understanding listing prices and appropriate offers for homes. This was extremely valuable given how quickly homes sell in this market, as it helped us avoid rushing into the offer process without the right price awareness. In addition, Paddy’s relationship with Compass Real Estate allowed us to tour or identify homes before they came on the market. This was a distinct advantage for us in this competitive real estate market and played a crucial part in securing our new home. On the communication side, Paddy is extremely responsive and is quick to reach out as things change, whether that’s a new home coming to market or a detail to be worked out as part of closing. We found the online portal to be very user friendly and allowed us to quickly collaborate with Paddy on which homes we wanted to tour or discuss. Paddy patiently and expertly guided us through the buying process of our home at the end, where we exchanged hundreds of questions, texts, and emails. His experience lent itself to quickly resolving these questions and also aided us in securing extra value that we wouldn’t have known to explore. We found the open home touring process to be very easy and smooth. Paddy always had time for us when we had one home we wanted to see or a handful to see. We would discuss a list of homes with Paddy and he would do the necessary coordination to ensure we had access to the homes outside of a general open house. This made for a very expedient home touring process, where as a group we could walk through the homes, talk through potential issues, and discuss future improvements. Paddy’s background in construction and home building was invaluable with the home touring process. He helped us understand which issues with the houses were critical and which were actually more minor in nature. We could talk through potential enhancements and improvements, understanding what was feasible and what was not, which helped us narrow our home search. Paddy truly had our best interests at heart. He never pressured us into making an offer, and he was equally dedicated to ensuring we didn't settle on a home that wasn't the right fit. Paddy truly wants to help you find the right home. He takes the time to understand what you're looking for and accordingly makes recommendations on neighborhoods and homes. We looked at many different homes and Paddy was extremely patient and supportive with the entire process. We will be reaching out to Paddy again if we find ourselves moving again (we found a perfect home, so I don’t think that’ll be any time soon). Again, we highly recommend Paddy and team if you’re looking to move into the area.
Hi Colin - Thank you so much for taking the time to write such an incredibly thoughtful review. It was truly a pleasure working with you both and getting to know you throughout the process. I’m thrilled we were able to find you a home that feels like such a great fit, and even happier to hear you don’t plan on moving again anytime soon! I hope you enjoy many great years there. Congratulations again, and thank you for trusting me to help you through such an important decision.
Fantastic experience: •Working with this Realtor and his Team was a great experience. •Paddy has a wealth of knowledge and experience regarding the Real Estate market in Lafayette CA. •This Team has a robust network of Contractors and Inspectors who execute quickly and do great work. •The Stager, Designer and Executive Assistant were helpful and communicative. •They made suggestions but listened to my input. •The time from start to market was seamless. •The marketing was beautiful and strong, extremely professional. •Paddy sold our family home in less than 2 weeks at 12% over listing with multiple offers. I would recommend this Team without hesitation and would use their expertise again. Diane Smith
Hi Diane - Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review! We truly enjoyed working with you and are so pleased with how everything came together. It means a lot to have had the opportunity to represent you in the sale of such a special home.
Fantastic experience: We recently sold our home in Lafayette with help from Paddy Kehoe of Compass Realtors and found him to be very professional, resourceful, and knowledgeable about the home sale process and the real estate market in general. He provided excellent guidance to us as we prepared our home for sale and assisted us at every step in the process. His team did an excellent job of staging our home and keeping us informed of their progress.
Thank you so much for the kind words! It was a pleasure working with you and helping guide you through the sale of your Lafayette home. We truly appreciate the trust you placed in our team and are so glad you felt well supported throughout the process. Wishing you all the best in your next chapter!
Fantastic experience: Working with Paddy and Michelle to sell our home was a great experience. We appreciated Paddy’s straightforward communication and realistic expectation setting. The stager did a fantastic job, as did the photographer. The pricing and marketing approach was well thought out and ended with us accepting a very strong, over asking offer after being on the market for only one day. The process was very smooth and super easy. Given the opportunity, we’d definitely work with Paddy and his team again.
Hi Hannah - Thank you so much for the wonderful review! It was truly a pleasure working with you. We’re so happy to hear that the process felt smooth and easy along the way and really appreciate your trust in our team. All the best!
Fantastic experience: Paddy was an outstanding buying agent and an absolute pleasure to work with. He is incredibly knowledgeable about homes and the local market. One of the things we appreciated most was his honesty. He talked us out of pursuing many houses when he saw issues or felt they were not the right fit. When we ultimately found our home, he was extremely sharp throughout the offer and negotiation process. We could not have asked for a better agent and would recommend him without hesitation.
Hi Daniel - Thank you so much for the thoughtful review. I really enjoyed working with you both and am thrilled we found the right home for you. You guys were fantastic to work with. Let me know if I can ever help with anything down the road.
Fantastic experience: We interviewed three realtors before choosing Paddy Kehoe to sell our home. It was an easy decision — he stood out immediately because he genuinely understood what made our house special and we were sure he would articulate that to buyers. From the start, Paddy was exceptionally organized. We had a tight timeline to prepare before leaving on a long-planned international trip, and he made sure all details — inspections, repairs, staging, and photography — were handled before we left. The stager and photographer he brought in did a beautiful job showcasing our home. Our open house fell on our first weekend abroad, and communicating with Paddy from halfway around the world was seamless. We received multiple offers, and Paddy's skill in managing that process resulted in a final sale price well above asking. Throughout everything, Paddy and his assistant Michelle were responsive, proactive, and genuinely a pleasure to work with. They made selling our home as smooth and stress-free as it could possibly be. We highly recommend Paddy without hesitation.
Hi Barb - Thank you so much for this thoughtful review! We really enjoyed working with you both. It was a pleasure representing such a beautiful home, and I’m glad we could help highlight what made it so special. Wishing you both all the best in this next chapter.
Fantastic experience: I only write reviews for services that deserve exceptional recognition. This is absolutely the case for Paddy Kehoe Properties. Paddy is an exceptional agent. He is incredibly knowledgeable, intuitive and extremely efficient. I came to him with a very hard to sell property with individuals involved who were extremely difficult to deal with. He not only helped me with how to best sell the property but managed to keep all parties interests in mind and at bay. What could have been a very difficult and long process was smooth and quick. I could not have been happier with the process nor the result!
Hi Linda - Thank you for the kind words and for taking the time to share your experience. I’m glad I could help make the process smooth. It was a pleasure working with you and I wish you the best.
Fantastic experience: My husband and I met Paddy just once, found our home that same day, put in an offer the next, and moved into our "forever" home within a month. Needless to say, Paddy is incredibly efficient and truly knows how to seal the deal. Here are the highlights of our experience working with him: 1. Excellent Communication: From my very first inquiry, Paddy was prompt and responsive. We started with a phone call to review our needs, and he quickly followed up with listings that fit our criteria. By the time we met in person, he already had a clear, deep understanding of exactly what we wanted in a home. 2. Area & Structural Knowledge: Paddy isn’t a "how does this home make you feel?" kind of realtor. He understands how houses are built and knows the pros and cons of specific neighborhoods. Even if a property doesn't check every single box, he helps you visualize how to modify the space to make it perfect for your future. 3. Honesty: When my husband showed interest in one particular house, Paddy immediately pointed out its flaws and flat-out told us he wouldn't sell it to us because it would become a headache. He never tried to rush a sale; his priority was ensuring we bought a high-quality home we would truly love. 4. Resourceful: Even though we found our home on day one, Paddy remained actively involved throughout the entire closing process. He helped coordinate repairs before our move-in date and connected us with two of his recommended service providers, both of whom have been phenomenal. 5. He Knows How to Win: At the end of the day, if Paddy is on your side, you WILL win. We were up against another buyer for our home, but Paddy guided us to secure the winning bid while staying comfortably within our budget. In fact, we bought the home under asking. I remember asking him, "Do you think we have a chance of getting the home?" His response: "Yes, because I'm your agent." He was right. He’s simply the BEST!
Thank you so much for writing this great review. I love the home that you guys got. You guys were great to work with. Here if you ever been anything.
Fantastic experience: We recently moved to the area with a clear but ambitious goal: find our forever home in Lamorinda / Walnut Creek in a competitive market with limited inventory. Paddy delivered — and then some. We somehow secured a home in Park Mead (which we thought to be impossible). From the start, he took everything into account. Not just the home itself, but the schools, the neighborhood, and whether the property was something we could love for now and make our own over time. He came with a network of inspectors, electricians, and contractors ready to go — which helped us a ton as we reviewed countless disclosures. When we found our own people, there were no hard feelings. That kind of no-pressure approach was an example of the whole experience working with him. He genuinely wanted us to find exactly what we’re looking for. Paddy was available whenever we needed him — weekdays, weekends, whatever it took to keep pace with a fast-moving market. His construction background was a helpful through the whole process: he caught things in homes that we would have skipped over, and talked us through a few situations that looked fine on the surface but but had real issues underneath. The moment that sticks with us: Paddy went to scout a home on our behalf before we'd even seen it. His verdict? "Dynamite." We visited the day after the final open house, put in our offer at a strategic price, and it got accepted. He then helped us navigate the inspection contingencies and negotiate costs on some work — making an already great deal even better. Four months from start of our search to closing— in this market, that felt really solid. If you're looking for someone patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful, Paddy is your person. Also, he’s hilarious.
Hi Adam - Really appreciate you taking the time to write this. Great clients like you make the job easy. I'm glad it all came together for your family. Wishing you all the best in the new place and don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything.
Fantastic experience: We referred our luxury clients relocating from San Diego. We needed someone who could help them navigate the Lafayette market beyond what’s publicly available on the local agent MLS. Paddy Kehoe stood out for his ability to connect buyers and sellers with off-market opportunities, which gave our clients access to homes not seen on Redfin or Zillow. That approach made a real difference in our clients search. He also has excellent insight on building and construction. If you’re considering buying or selling in Lafayette, Paddy and his team are worth having in your corner.
Hi Joy - Thank you for the kind words and for trusting me with your clients. I really appreciate it. Looking forward to helping them navigate Lafayette and uncover some great on- and off-market opportunities.
Fantastic experience: Paddy and team were great to work with on our recent home purchase. We are a family with two young children and recently relocated from San Francisco. We didn’t know the area very well and weren’t sure exactly what we wanted and Paddy helped us with understanding the East Bay neighborhoods / market pricing and with his help we found the perfect home! He spent time to show us around, answer a million questions and gave his honest perspective on each home we looked at. His approach was genuine in wanting to help us find a great house and we did not feel pressured or that we were being pushed to make a sale. Paddy has also been incredibly helpful going above and beyond with providing connections to his network for various service providers to help us with everything we needed after purchasing the house. Every recommendation has been five stars- great service for a reasonable price. This really helped save us a lot of time and reduced stress around a home purchase/ moving versus having to figure everything out on our own. Highly recommend Paddy and team!
Tracy, thank you so much for taking the time to write this review. It was my pleasure to help you guys find a great home. Reach out if you need anything.
Fantastic experience: I just closed on a house thanks to my realtor, Paddy Kehoe. He was always available to answer my questions and kept me informed every step of the way. I really appreciated that he never rushed me into anything, he gave me the confidence that the right house would come along when the time was right. One thing that really set him apart is that he’s also a general contractor, so he could walk me through each home and give realistic estimates on what upgrades or improvements would cost. That was incredibly helpful in making decisions. And it did—off market! Within days, I was in contract, and today is moving day. I’m so grateful for Paddy’s guidance, patience, and expertise. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home.
Hi Cindy - Thank you so much for this wonderful review. It was such a pleasure helping you find your home. So happy for you and wish you the best.
Fantastic experience: Paddy and team were awesome to have represent me. They provided great guidance, quick responses and full service support. No question big or small was too much. Highly recommend using Paddy to represent you.
Hi Caroline - Thanks so much for taking the time to write this kind review. It was a pleasure to serve you! Looking forward to helping with anything else you need in the future.
Fantastic experience: Paddy is not your cookie cutter agent. He is over the top...in a great way. Every interaction with him leaves me smiling and at ease. There are those with aspirations and those that take action...he is the latter.
Thanks Adam, this made my day. I really appreciate it.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely the best agent I’ve worked with in Lafayette, so happy I found Paddy and the team!
Thanks for the great review, Anton! We’re so glad you had a positive experience working with Paddy and the team, and we really appreciate you taking the time to share this.
Fantastic experience: Paddy and team took on a challenging sale for us. They found a great qualified buyer. They ran a great process from start to finish. I will use Paddy in the future and happy to recommend Paddy and his team. His marketing, communication and knowledge were all excellent.
Hi Joanne - Thanks for taking the time to share this and for putting your trust in our team. It was great working with you both and I look forward to staying in touch.
- Paddy
Fantastic experience: Absolutely recommend Paddy. He has extensive knowledge, experience and a great attitude.
Thank you for the kind words and recommendation, Karen!
Fantastic experience: Paddy was amazingly helpful, answering all our questions, reassuring us that our decision to buy an investment property was a sound one. He even introduced us to an excellent contractor and gave us other resources to use in remodeling the house. We appreciated that he didn’t disappear as soon as the papers were signed, as so many realtors we have known tended to do. Paddy followed up to find out how the renovation was going months later and was genuinely interested in the progress. Paddy is a professional, efficient and personable real estate agent.
Hi Charlie - Thank you so much for taking the time to write this great review. It was my pleasure to work with you guys. I look forward to seeing what you do with the property.
Fantastic experience: Paddy's communication was excellent. He was always quick to respond, happy to meet anytime to walk through a potential house, and his understanding of the local market was spot-on. Thanks to his hard work and reliability, I found an off-market home that I absolutely love.
Thank you for the thoughtful review, Ryan! Paddy truly enjoyed working with you and is so glad you found the perfect fit. We’re so happy you found a place you love!
Fantastic experience: Paddy was nothing short of fantastic. Our home was languishing on the market with no offers and little traction. He gave us the honest truth about the pricing, staging and presentation. To make things even more complicated we were leaving the area, but Paddy took the reins and ran with it. Once our home was back on the market with fresh photos and staging, we had more interest in one weekend than the previous two months. Within four days, Paddy secured us a cash offer with no contingencies and a short close. The knowledge that our home was in good hands once we had left was such a relief. Paddy kept us in the loop every step of the way and I can't thank him enough for helping us sell our home in a challenging market. I would recommend him in a heartbeat.
Hi Arthur, thank you so much for taking the time to write a review for me. It was our pleasure to work for you and happy to see you guys move on to the next chapter.
Best wishes
Paddy
Fantastic experience: Please accept this perfect review for Mr. Paddy Kehoe. I am a little behind on this review, however, I hired Paddy in July 24’ to sell my late mother’s house, the home I grew up in. Paddy answered my initial call, instantly. Was with another client, but got back to me within 30mins. I was on my way out of town, back to LA, left him key, made his way to home and was more than excited to do this project, all on same day as initial call. Because I chose Paddy, who is part of Compass Real Estate team of Lafayette, I had access to the Compass Concierge program. Essentially a Credit card used to ready the home, and paid back at closing. What a blessing, as we plowed thru $25k to ready home for showing-money I didn’t have at the time, Paddy made me aware of this program from the beginning. Paddy was 100% behind me in my plans and visions, exceeded my expectations and carried out all plans. His professionalism, motivation and enthusiasm was well received, answered every single one of my phone calls and each one was regarded as positive, friendly and excited, never one moment of attitude as some realtors display. When it came time to work on closing the deal, Paddy not only met but exceeded my expectations. House closed $500k OVER asking price (not a typo). I would absolutely hire Paddy to buy or sell your home in the Bay Area. He will make your dreams and visions come true. Thank you Paddy for all your hard work on this challenging project in selling my childhood home. A pleasure to work with, positive communication and a great sense of humor- all valuable aspects when working in this industry. Even the realtor fees were competitively priced. I would not pass up the opportunity to work with Paddy again. If you’re an investor, first time buyer or just looking for your next home, Paddy will make it happen. Thank you for your time on this lengthy review, thank you Paddy as well
Hi Evan, thank you so much for the great review. It was my pleasure to work for you on this sale. Looking forward to seeing you the next time you are in town.
Fantastic experience: We had a fantastic experience working with Paddy Kehoe! From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. It’s clear that he truly knows the real estate market and has a deep understanding of what it takes to get a home sold. What stood out the most was how genuinely caring and attentive he was. We felt safe and well taken care of every step of the way. Paddy made a potentially stressful process feel smooth and manageable. We couldn’t have asked for a better realtor and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!
Hi Lyana, thank you so much for hiring me and taking the time to write a review. I really enjoyed working with you guys. Best wishes on your move and next chapter.
Fantastic experience: We cannot recommend Paddy highly enough for anyone looking to navigate the real estate market in Lafayette. As homebuyers unfamiliar with the local market, we were incredibly fortunate to have Paddy as our realtor. His expertise, dedication, and genuine care transformed what could have been an overwhelming process into a seamless and exciting journey. From our very first meeting, Paddy took the time to understand our needs and preferences, demonstrating an unparalleled knowledge of the Lafayette housing market. His keen insight and meticulous attention to detail helped us find our dream home—a property that perfectly matched our vision. What truly sets Paddy apart is his unwavering commitment to his clients. He was always available, whether it was answering late-night calls, engaging in detailed text conversations, or providing thoughtful guidance at every step. His responsiveness and patience gave us confidence and clarity throughout the process, making us feel supported and informed. Even after closing, Paddy’s exceptional service continued. He followed up to ensure everything was going smoothly and remained a reliable resource for any questions we had. His above-and-beyond approach is a testament to his professionalism and genuine passion for helping his clients. If you’re looking to buy or sell in Lafayette, Paddy is the realtor you want by your side. His expertise, dedication, and personalized care make him an absolute standout. We are beyond grateful for his help in finding our forever home and wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking an outstanding real estate experience.
Hi Kevin, thank you for such a great review. Lafayette is lucky to have you and your family. Here of you need me. Thank you
Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a real estate agent who will go above and beyond to deliver exceptional results, hire Paddy - full stop. Paddy will fight for you as if it were his own home on the line and he is, without question, the most knowledgeable, dedicated, and hard-working real estate professional we've ever worked with. Paddy knows the market inside and out and he truly cares about his clients and their outcomes. He acted as a trusted advisor throughout the entire process and brought a clear, strategic vision on how to prepare and position our home for sale. His deep expertise and understanding of the local market gave us a strong competitive advantage and we are so pleased with the results of the sale. What truly sets Paddy apart is his integrity and advocacy. He is direct, honest, and unwavering when it comes to protecting his clients. We always felt that he had our backs and was working tirelessly to achieve the best result for our family. If you are looking for an agent who combines deep market knowledge with authenticity, confidence, and an unwavering commitment to his clients, Paddy is the clear choice. We are incredibly grateful for his guidance and partnership and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone buying or selling a home. Thank you Paddy!!
Hi Jennifer, thank you for hiring me and I appreciate your kind words. It was a pleasure to work with you both.
Please reach out in the future if I can be of any help.

Fantastic experience: Paddy Kehoe is a rare combination of many positive attributes when it comes to selling a property. He's smart, knows the bay area in great detail, is very knowledgable in all things real estate and is an excellent communicator. His wry sense of humor, and bold honesty is a perfect fit when working with a team of professionals at Compass. Paddy is focused, diligent, unwavering, and even patient when need be. He always sees the big picture and can diagnose challenges while giving thoughtful advice. That's what you need in a realtor. My sister and I are grateful and very happy with our experience with Mr. Kehoe.
Hi William, thank you so much for hiring me and writing the review. I had to Google "Wry sense of humor", okay, that is fair :) .
Please reach out if I can ever be of help in the future.
Thank you for hiring me. It was a pleasure to work with you both.

Fantastic experience: Paddy Kehoe did a wonderful job selling our childhood home. He was very knowledgeable and patient with us. His advice was very helpful and extremely appreciated during the whole process. Highly recommended!
Hi Eileen

Paddy
Fantastic experience: Best real estate agent I ever worked with. Really knows his stuff. You always get an honest opinion.
Hi David - Thanks for taking the time to share this. I’m glad I could help and appreciate your kind feedback.
Fantastic experience: 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.
Hi Ann, thank you so much for writing a review. You guys are great to work with. See you soon.
Fantastic experience: 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.
Hi Andrew, thank you so much for hiring me and taking the time to write a review. Much appreciated. Looking forward to future deals.
Paddy
Fantastic experience: 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.
Dear Sheena and Sean, thank you so much for writing a review. You guys might be my favorite clients of all time. Thank you for hiring me and I look forward to helping you guys in the future.
Fantastic 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!
Thank you so much Patrick for hiring me and writing the review. It was great to work together. Best wishes to you and the family.
Fantastic experience: It was a pleasure working with the Paddy Kehoe team. They were very knowledgeable and helped us with the whole process, including peripheral items to expedite the sale. Thank you for all your help! Dan and Colleen
Hi Dan and Colleen, thank you so much for hiring us and taking the time to write a review.
Regards
Paddy
Fantastic experience: We can't thank Paddy enough for all the hard work he did for us. Buying a home is stressful. It was not our first home purchase, but it was our first home purchase together as a couple. We didn't realize how our taste and needs differed from one another. She likes things that have "character" - in her words - and I prefer a more modern design and amenities. That coupled with the low inventory and rising rates made the experience challenging. In the end, Paddy did find us the right home. We're very pleased.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review. Here for you guys if you need anything in the future.
Fantastic experience: 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.
Hi Debra, thank you so much for writing a review for us. It was our pleasure to work for you.
Paddy Kehoe
Fantastic experience: We turned to Paddy Kehoe and his Team when we needed to sell our Lafayette home of 45+ years. They helped us every step of the way. Paddy and his wonderful assistant Alyson were always available with advice and answers - from setting an asking price to deciding on the many necessary updates to understanding the many unfamiliar documents. We worked with his stager/decorator and contractors to modernize our home while retaining its unique character. When it came time to respond to offers, Paddy worked his magic based on years of experience. He negotiated a sale price over-asking in a housing market that was beginning to soften. Thank You Paddy Kehoe Team!
Hi Susan, thank you so much for writing a review for us. We loved working with you.
Best wishes in the future.
Paddy
Fantastic experience: I can’t speak highly enough about the service provided by Paddy and his team. In a difficult market, Paddy correctly priced our home and sold it quickly. Paddy’s recommendations combine his vast experience of the Lamorinda market with a Data Driven approach, resulting in realistic estimates. Paddy remains very accessible throughout the buy and sell process, as is his super capable assistant Alyson. I would highly recommend the Paddy Kehoe Team if you are thinking of buying a home or selling your home. You absolutely will not regret it.
Hi James, thank you so much for hiring us and writing the review. You will be sadly missed in Lafayette.
Paddy
Fantastic experience: Paddy Kehoe is one of a kind and a true gem to work with. Paddy helped us sell our home in record time, and well above asking price. The process was smooth and efficient due to Paddy’s effective communication, knowledge of the real estate industry and his forward thinking and honesty. It is not often you meet a realtor who makes you feel like family and truly wants the best for you. Paddy made himself readily available to addresses any questions or concerns we had and made us feel at ease. If you are looking for an agent, Paddy Kehoe is the one. We love Paddy and the Compass team! -The Sagouspe Family

Fantastic experience: Paddy and his team did a great job helping us sell our house. From staging to photography, the team made the house shine and Paddy helped us work through the complexities of selling in an unpredictable market. He was always available and was a thoughtful negotiator on our behalf.
Hi Stuart, thank you so much for hiring us and and taking the time to write a review. We wish you the best on your next chapter.
Paddy
Fantastic experience: Paddy was an excellent partner as we sold our home in Orinda. His knowledge of the area is strong and his strategy for pricing and preparing the home was thoughtful and effective. He clearly has a passion for real estate and he goes the extra mile to provide great customer service. We were very happy with the process and outcome.
Hi Kirsten, thank you so much for hiring us and taking the time to write a review. I wish you guys the very best.
Paddy
Fantastic experience: Paddy sold our home quick and stayed with our family through a difficult transition. He understands and values the human element in each transaction. Kind, patient and wicked smart, I'll continue to use Paddy for all our family real estate needs.
Hi Ed, thank you so much for hiring me and for taking the time to write a review, much appreciated.
Paddy
Fantastic experience: We had a great experience working with Eric Larson on the Paddy Kehoe team to buy our place. Our search parameters were fairly broad and locations beyond the core Lamorinda area. Eric was patient and accommodating with our broad focus and shared new listings, and provided prompt feedback on places of interest and that we had visited. He was diligent about pulling disclosures and connecting with selling agents to gauge level of interest and strategize on potential approaches based on interest and specific location / market. On places we became more serious about, he provided meaningful comps and added his own color. Eric was patient, helped us prioritize, and didn't pressure us. We had gotten close to pulling the trigger on putting forth an offer for a few places, so Eric's guidance and process was very helpful in our decision making. Eric was spot on in terms of pricing guidance and offer details on the place we eventually made an offer on and purchased. After our offer was accepted and all the way up to the closing, Eric was helpful in managing the process and helping to negotiate / navigate the unique issues that came up on seller and lender side. Highly recommended and was a great experience working with Eric.
Thank you, Renje! We appreciate the kind words and are glad you had a great experience with Eric in finding your home!
Fantastic experience: Above and beyond. The team really goes out of their way to make things right and fast
Gregorio,
We are glad to hear you are happy with your experience with the Paddy Kehoe Team. Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a review.
Fantastic experience: Paddy kehoe probably one of the best I’ve worked with in 30 years:) would most definitely recommend!! Again thanks
Thanks so much for the review, Matthew!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Paddy Kehoe and Team at Compass! We used them to purchase our first home and more recently for our forever home. This time the sellers were a bit more challenging but Brittany took the time to manage expectations and was in constant communication between their agent and our lender. She is beyond responsive, even after we moved in to ensure that the transition went smoothly. We are so appreciative of her professionalism and attention to our asks! We also sold our house that we purchased 5 years ago with Paddy. Since then we used his thoughtful expertise to make certain improvements to the home over the years that added tremendous value. We had some unique circumstances when selling that Paddy was able to sort out timely. His staging team also did a phenomenal job and quickly too. Compass has a concierge service to front the costs for presale improvements with no interest or fees so it's hassle free. It just gets deducted from proceeds of the home afterwards. There was a very clear timeline of all the events from improvements, cleaning, photography, marketing etc. Communication was clear and would go through them again in a heartbeat. Most importantly, they are trustworthy and really in touch with their clients' needs.
Hi Linh - Thank you so much for this kind review! It's been a pleasure working with you over the years and we greatly appreciate your continued business. Our best to you!
Fantastic experience: Eric was an absolute blast to work with as a first time homebuyer! My wife and I were a bit overwhelmed at the thought of purchasing our first home, and Eric was there every step of the way with great advice from location to financing to things to looks out for. Always super responsive and pleasant to chat with, we were very happy to have found a home with Eric's help! We are happy to call Eric not only our real estate agent but a friend! Highly recommend working with him.
We're so glad you had a great experience working with Eric! Thanks for taking the time to write a review. Best of luck in your new home!
Fantastic experience: Working with Paddy as my real estate agent it was immediately clear how knowledgeable he is about the Lamorinda real estate market. I had been wanting to buy a home in Lafayette for awhile but had no idea how to navigate the home buying process in the area. He not only helped me find multiple homes that met all of my needs but he also went above and beyond when it came to advocating for me to sellers. Paddy's genuine care for his clients has made it a pleasure to work with him and I owe him all my thanks for helping me get my dream home.
It was a pleasure working with you, Jessica! Thanks for the review.
Fantastic experience: A very professional company who real knows their stuff! I highly recommend.
Thank you, Jason! We appreciate the review.
Fantastic experience: You would be hard pressed to find a realtor with more knowledge of the area and the it's most up to date market. That mixed with long-time experience in the industry, you can rest assured that Paddy is a full service realtor who you can trust with the one of your most important purchases or sales in life. Honestly never thought I'd say this going through a real estate transaction, but had the best time working with you! Thank you Paddy!
Thanks for your kind words!
Fantastic experience: It's not heard of that a house can be sold in so little time. But with Paddy, that's what we experienced.. Not only did he do everything he could as our realtor, but also he went above and beyond to help us to make our house extremely presentable for the open house. For example, one afternoon he used his pickup truck to buy wood chips then delivered it to my house, after that he helped with what my gardener didn't even want to do under the scorching sun, laying the wood chips down all the tough spots where weren't previously covered. My family got to know Paddy 5 years ago when he helped us to buy our wonderful homestead in Moraga, and after that he didn't just drift away. He stayed in touch and regularly inform us on the real estate market movement in our area. With his help, we were very informed and confident on what we should see and how much to ask for our house. You can't go wrong with a very knowledgeable, informed and hard working agent as Paddy, most importantly you will get a new friend whom will look out for the best interests for you and your family when the time comes to sell your house. My family would highly recommend Paddy to any real estate buying and selling tasks without any reservation.
It was an absolute pleasure working with you! Thank you for taking the time to write this wonderful review.
Fantastic experience: 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.
Thank you, Diana! I'm happy we could help you find your home. We appreciate you and this awesome review!
Fantastic experience: Paddy’s team helped me sell my condo in Moraga. His team was professional, willing to assist with any concern and had excellent follow-up. Part of his team includes staff that can coordinate everything that needs to get done to get the property ready to sell. You can let them handle everything and/or get involved. If you want to sell your property quickly without hassles hire Patty and his team.
Thank you for the kind review!
Fantastic experience: Paddy Kehoe recently listed a property in Lafayette on behalf of an investment group. All involved parties were extremely impressed with Paddy's skill and professionalism. The project presented some unforeseen challenges that Paddy negotiated with ease and patience. We relied upon Paddy's keen local knowledge of the market and he truly went above and beyond to ensure the successful sale of the property. You will be hard-pressed to find a more diligent and reliable agent. Paddy really is a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend his services.
Thank you so much for writing such a great review. It was a pleasure working for you.
Fantastic experience: Paddy Kehoe and his team are smart, professional, nice people who are great and easy to work with. Working with the Kehoe Team is like having a friend on the “inside” that is really working for you. It was obvious to me the Kehoe Team truly care about their clients as well as the community and neighborhood. I will 100% work with Paddy and the Kehoe Team again.
Thank you for the review, Rob! It was great to work with you.
Fantastic experience: Working with Paddy and his team was an absolute pleasure. Buying a house is one of the most stressful things one can subject themselves to and Paddy helped keep me calm during the buying process. He was always there to take late night calls or texts because he genuinely wants people to find the home of their dreams. That said, no home is perfect but he will help you understand the tradeoffs and long-term value of a home based on the construction, location, finishes, repair needs, and your general sentiment as he gets to really understand what you find important in a new home. He was extremely patient with me and my multiple spreadsheets and multiple home showings :) Most importantly, he's not gone when the deal is done. He'll help walk you through new the home woes after closing and is always there to lend a helping hand should/when something (inevitably) breaks in your new house. Paddy and his team are have created the quintessential real estate buying experience that I cannot credit enough for helping our family find a really amazing deal in Lafayette.
Hi Mike, thank you for taking the time to write a review. It was a pleasure to help you guys find your new home and we are happy to have you as neighbors.
Paddy
Fantastic experience: Paddy and his team took care of everything, professionally and responsively. We had already moved to another state; they handled every detail and we had a very positive outcome.
Thank you so much for hiring us and the kind words. Best of luck with everything.
Fantastic experience: This was the 2nd time Paddy sold a house for me, and I was again impressed by his enthusiasm, patience, and professional approach. The latest sale was especially difficult and prolonged for reasons beyond our control but he did an exceptional job in mitigating the frustration of both the buyer and seller. Paddy is genuinely passionate about homebuilding and designing, and he is not afraid to get his hands dirty to make small quick fixes himself. What I appreciate him the most is that he does not sugarcoat his words to just tell me what I want to hear. As a real estate developer I have worked with numerous agents before but Paddy is one of the most honest and straightforward, and when I ask his opinion he always has an answer with good reason. I am very glad I chose Paddy Kehoe to sell our 2 homes in Lafayette.
It's always a pleasure getting to work with you. Thanks so much for the kind words.
Fantastic experience: Paddy Kehoe is a wonderful guy and an unbelievable realtor. He is a positive thinker and an honest man. He is the type of person you want in your life whether you are selling your house or not. Paddy makes buying or selling your house an absolute pleasure. Tim Juengst
Thanks so much for the kind review, Tim. It was great working with you.
Negative experience: We had a horrible experience purchasing our first home with the agent - Brittany Hogan under Paddy Kehoe Team. First, she provided lots of bogus facts about "appraisal", like how purchase price almost never "goes under appraisal value", provided an offer range NOT supported by market comparables at all. In the end, we had to scramble to put together funds to make up for the appraisal shortfall. Not only that, she completely downplayed the negative impact when seller disclosed there could be "development" next door, when we raised up the concern. Now we have 1+ year of construction noise looking forward to and all our privacy completely invaded even after the house is built, all thanks to her! Hiring the Paddy Kehoe team & Brittany Hogan to buy our first house was the worst decision I've ever made in my life. Needless to say, I'll tell everybody I know to stay away from them.
We are sorry you did not experience a smooth transaction. Unfortunately, sometimes things can happen that are out of our control. We work hard to ensure every client is treated with excellent customer service and that our clients are happy throughout the entire transaction. We appreciate the feedback and will incorporate the things we learned in this transaction to improve the experience for all our clients going forward. We wish you all the best in your new home.
Fantastic experience: We used Compass to both buy and sell a home. Our agent was Brittany Hogan for both transactions. When purchasing the home we were given plenty of time to find the right property and given sound advice on our bid and contract issues. On the sale side we obtained top dollar and closed in three weeks. The online software provided by Compass made the process easy, efficient and seamless. Great professional and timely service. I highly recommend Brittany as either a buyer or seller agent. She took the mystery and stress out of buying and selling real estate!
Thank you Peter and Helen for choosing to work with us. It was such a pleasure working with you both and we're thrilled you got a wonderful home in your desired setting, and got top dollar for the sale of your property. Take good care!
Fantastic experience: We thoroughly enjoyed working with Paddy to sell our home in Orinda. Paddy was easy to work with, very responsive, professional and 100% dedicated to helping his clients. Our home sold quickly with multiple offers. We would definitely use Paddy again!
Hi Jennifer, thank you so much for hiring me and for writing this great review. Looking forward to seeing you guys again soon.
Paddy
Fantastic experience: Whether you're moving across town or across the country, selling or buying, Paddy Kehoe is the realtor that you want to represent you. We contracted with him to sell our home in Lafayette in the midst of a pandemic yet his confidence, professionalism and knowledge made no obstacle insurmountable. His enthusiasm was the first thing that impressed us but that was only the beginning. His vision about the potential and possibilities for our home and future buyers instilled confidence that he knew the market, the process and what it would take to sell our home at the best possible price. Paddy's hard work exceeded our expectations. We left our home and moved cross country while Paddy took control and prepared it for sale. After being listed, our home sold in a week and the process went more smoothly than we ever could have imagined. His predictions about the offers we might get were right on the mark further proving his expertise in the Lamorinda market. Paddy is SO much more that a realtor. He builds relationships. It was evident from the beginning how much he enjoyed his career and how invested he was in the concerns of his clients. He got to know us as people not just as clients and we got to know him in the same way. His outlook on life and his advice helped us focus on what was important. In the end, it came down to building new friendships and even learning a few life lessons along the way. Thanks Paddy for everything!!!
Hi Jo, it was such a pleasure to work for you guys. I look forward to keeping in touch and seeing you guys in the future. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this great review.
Paddy
Fantastic experience: We've had the pleasure of working with Paddy twice now. The first was in 2011 when he helped us buy a beautiful home in Walnut Creek, the second time was in 2019 when he helped us sell that same home when we were moving. Working with Paddy as a buyer we found him very hard-working and patient. We looked at dozens of homes over months (we were picky), and Paddy never pressured us during the process. We were able to take our time and choose a home we really loved. The decision to sell the home when we were moving away from the area was a hard one, and Paddy initially urged us to consider not selling, even though that would mean him losing out on the business opportunity. Once we decided that selling was the right decision, Paddy did quite a bit of research to price the home just right, urging us not to over-price the property at risk of turning away buyers. He also organized painting the property, fixing up the yard, and staging everything. The house really showed well when he had it ready. The first weekend of open houses we received 6 offers, 2 of them at $100K over asking. He walked us through the offers and the merits of each, we chose one, and 30 days later we closed without any issues. I'd rate Paddy 6 stars if I could and would work with him again in a heartbeat. He's honest, patient, and super knowledgable.
Hi Erik, it was such a pleasure to work with guys and I am so happy everything worked out so well. I wish you guys the best and I am here if you ever need anything. Thank you so much for this great review.
Sincerely
Paddy
Fantastic experience: 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!
Hi Kimmen, thank you so much for this awesome review. It was a pleasure working for you and I look forward to seeing you guys at some point in the future.
Sincerely
Paddy
Fantastic experience: Paddy and his team are top notch! We have come to know Paddy over the prior year as we bought a new house then sold our old house. Paddy was incredibly patient, thorough and knowledgeable throughout both processes. He is a great communicator and has excellent instincts. He is definitely not looking to make a quick buck! At times we were surprised at how much he advocated for us to wait on the exact right house to buy, and also on the right buyer when we sold our own home. In addition, Paddy and his team make selling and buying so easy with a host of recommendations when work is needed. If something needs to be done while selling, they go the extra mile to arrange for estimates and meet the companies at the property. You cannot go wrong with Paddy Kehoe and team!
Denis thank you for hiring me and for your kind words. I loved working with you guys.
Thank you
Paddy
Fantastic experience: Paddy is exceptional. He has a detailed knowledge of everything going on in the local market and was able to give us a clear understanding of what is required to achieve the best results. He developed a specific vision and strategy for our sale process that was tailored to our objectives. He brought in skilled professionals to support the sales process and achieved the desired quick turnaround. Paddy is professional and personable and it was a delight to work with him. Things worked out exactly the way he predicted, lightening the load in a naturally stressful process.
Dear Stephanie, thank you so much for your kind words. Best of luck in your new home. Lafayette will miss you.
Paddy
Fantastic experience: Paddy is a superstar! I am a licensed real estate broker, but chose to have Paddy list my home in Lafayette due to it being a non-standard property. Paddy is super-responsive, very knowledgeable about Lafayette real estate, helpful, smart, a good negotiator and a valuable resource. He told us the hard truth about pricing to expect, what repairs to make, and how long it would take to sell the house. In all areas, he was spot-on. He managed the listing and sale perfectly and there were no hiccups. I couldn't have asked for more. Highly recommended.
Hi Edward, you are too kind. Thank you for your kind words. It was a pleasure to work for you. I hope to see you soon. Keep well.
Paddy
Fantastic experience: I didn’t think it would be possible to buy a place given the current market, but Paddy Kehoe has a way of making the impossible, POSSIBLE. He knows more about the real estate market than any agent I interviewed. He can look at a property and give great advice on how some well spent dollars can make a huge impact on value and appeal. Thank you Paddy for making it possible!!!!
Hi Jenette, thank you so much for your kind words. It was a pleasure to work with you.
Thank you
Paddy Kehoe
Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of working with Paddy and his Team. I had been searching for a home for quite some time, and kept falling short or missing the mark, bidding. Paddy found me and helped me be more focused with my process. He was very upfront and honest about the issues I was facing and helped me position my offers in the best way possible which resulted in a GREAT new home for me! Thank you Paddy & team for all your wisdom and help!
Hi Erik, thank you for choosing me, I really appreciate the business.
Thank you
Paddy
Fantastic experience: I'm writing this on behalf of my mom. She was very satisfied with Paddy's work on selling our home. He staged our house well, mailed out postcards around Lafayette and took great photos of our home. He can really see the potential of a house and knows what's happening on the market. She's very satisfied with her selling price!
Hi Heather and Ina, thank you for taking the time to write a review. It was fun to break a record for the highest price per square foot in that neighborhood. Best wishes I am here if you ever need anything in the future.
Fantastic experience: Paddy and Claudia delivered top notch service in the sale of our house in Orinda in 2015. We'd be delighted to work with them again. Most real estate agents will be pretty responsive, and have a gut sense of the local market. Paddy stood out by having an exhaustive spreadsheet of all comps on the market, and how elements from each sale applied to our house. This maximized the chances for what we, and most people, want: a quick process to get a good price. They were a delight to work with and would do again in a heartbeat!
Thank you Richard for your review. Orinda misses you guys.
Fantastic experience: Paddy is a fanstastic agent. It took us a while to find our dream home in Moraga in this hot market. Paddy kept us laser focused and patient, sticking closely to our specs. In the end we couldn’t have asked for a better home and agent experience. Paddy is extremely attentive and responsive, and has a client’s dream mix of area knowledge, business savvy, hustle and personal skills. He knows all the area brokers very well and has a line into listings well before they hit market. After months of working together we feel like Paddy became a friend of the family. We trusted him to treat a situation like it was his money at stake, and his strategy and efforts through our offer acceptance proved that. Truely a gem of a broker. Highly recommend.
It was such a pleasure to find you guys a great home. Thank you for your kind words. Here if you need me.
Paddy
Fantastic experience: Fantastic. Paddy operates how a Realtor should operate. Quick responses and good common sense knowledge. Paddy knows the area and is well connected with many home professionals should an issue arise. I found that Paddy goes the "extra Mile" and he's a pleasure to work with as well.
