This is my third transaction with Kara and her team. She is the pro’s pro, and makes purchasing or selling a home extremely easy while also advising and negotiating for best price. I’ll just say it: they don’t come any better.
— Paul S.
Kara was an absolute pro from start to finish- focused, clear, knowledgeable. We sold quickly at an excellent price thanks to her team’s preparation and execution.
— John L.
Kara was patient and never gave up on us. It took no us 3 years to find the perfect house. She helped us in our renovations and is a real pro. Highly recommend her.
— Catherine T.
Kara and Paul were amazing in helping us buy the home of our dreams! Kara took the time to understand the criteria we were looking for, sent all options to explore, and then made sure that when we submitted a bid, it was a competitive offer based on her thorough research on the comps and what would be the ideal/terms/price, etc. Paul also pre-read all the house disclosures and translated this into layman's terms which were invaluable in understanding what we were in for. Kara and Paul had our best long-term interest in mind and operated with the highest integrity — it was not at all about "closing a deal". Kara and Paul also worked closely with our ...

Paul and Kara are a dynamic, powerhouse team who made the experience of both buying and selling in the complicated Marin market a nearly effortless experience for us. When we purchased a house, their extensive knowledge of the market, deep local contacts, and utmost professionalism allowed us to find exactly the property we wanted. While preparing the house to sell, Kara’s exquisite design sense, her willingness to go far above and beyond to show the house to its advantage, and her savvy marketing skills enabled us to get absolute top dollar for the property. Moreover, the importance both Kara and Paul place on responsiveness is unparalleled – no qu...

This review is meant to highlight the superstar qualities of agent Holly Khouw who works *exclusively* with the Warrin Team. Holly is that rare professional who brings it all to the table — brains, enthusiasm, communication, resourcefulness, humor, and kindness — which combine to help make or break your purchase or sale of a home. This was not my first real estate transaction, and believe me, you will want this person on your team. Holly’s attention to detail, ability to coordinate a million moving parts in time, impeccable writing skills and keen eye for home presentation. In addition, Paul, Kara, and Holly try to mind your expenditures when possib...

As many people know, buying a home can be a very stressful time. Let alone, buying and selling in the same month. I wanted to extend our deepest gratitude to both Paul & Kara and the entire Warrin Team for making this process so manageable. From the first time we met, you clearly demonstrated a collective calmness and thorough understanding of the real estate market. It was also so helpful and unexpected to have Kara's continual support and her unbelievable ability to visualize what the rest of us would never be able to imagine. You have both truly made our dream a reality. We sincerely appreciate your time, your patience, and your professionalism. ...

Paul has extensive knowledge of Marin County and San Francisco real estate and it was a pleasure working with him. Both Paul and Holly made the purchase of our first home a pleasant and smooth experience. They knew exactly how to handle a multiple offer situation in a competitive market and are the reason we got our dream home on the first try. I can’t recommend them enough!
— Angelina G.
Holly was a joy to work with! It was a hard decision to sell our home of over 30 years, but Holly made the process seamless. She came in with a very clear plan, and managed to sell it so quickly even before we even prepped it. Always in constant contact and held my hand when I needed it. Highly recommend Holly and her team!
— Chris L.
Paul and Kara transformed our Marina flat into a showcase home. Paul's market knowledge and Kara's keen sense of style proved to be a powerful combination. At every stage of the process, Paul exceeded our expectations. His market knowledge, negotiating skills, and insistence on perfection in preparing and marketing was simply extraordinary. Although Paul's services are in high demand, he always made us feel as though we were his only client.
— Don & Patricia C.
My wife and I searched long and hard for a home in San Francisco and the surrounding areas. We encountered many agents in our search but never quite felt comfortable going with one until we met Paul Warrin at an open house. He was open and honest and went out of his way to highlight all the home had to offer. We didn't like the house that day, but we did like Paul. After a brief meeting at his office, Paul laid out the groundwork for a smarter search and worked tirelessly for months showing us unique properties, and interesting alternatives and providing great advice throughout the process. When we settled on the home we wanted in Sausalito, Paul wa...
— Aldo A.
Kara was the quintessential professional, at once realistic in her assessment and imaginative in the presentation of our house. She and her team remained even-keeled in the face of a choppy market, keeping us fully informed while driving to a successful conclusion. We feel quite positive about the result and the experience that led up to it.
— Richard & Ricki B.
I purchased my first home in San Francisco this year and found Paul Warrin (Top 1% Nationwide) by personal recommendation. I was hoping to find an agent who was easy to work with, reliable, communicative, and knowledgeable about the field. Paul is all of these things. In addition, he is someone whom you will definitely want on your side as a homebuyer should anything ever go unexpectedly - as I discovered firsthand when my "straightforward" first purchase attempt became less straightforward. Later, when unforeseen complications surrounding my home loan and closing date arose, Paul calmly brainstormed ways to work with all parties to successfully res...
— Jenny L.
Paul is a fantastic agent. He has a comprehensive knowledge of the San Francisco market, is very responsive, and took a lot of time to understand our family's needs. In a market with a very low supply, Paul went the extra mile and found Pacific Heights properties that had previously been withdrawn from the market that met our requirements. We ended up buying one of those properties and could not be happier.
— Grant & Belinda H.
I would absolutely use Paul again for any future real estate needs I have! This was my first home purchase, and Paul set the standard for what I will expect going forward. Paul took time to understand my tastes, was constantly in touch with me, keeping me aware of new listings and talking to me about what I liked and disliked and why, and was unbelievably patient. He always remained objective and helpful throughout the process, but with no pressure. Once I found the spot, Paul acted quickly and efficiently. He made the process so easy and painless. Since I found the place of my dreams, Paul and I have stayed in touch. I value his genuine, personal a...
— Anna M.
Paul is a stellar agent and I can say with conviction he navigated me very efficiently and seamlessly through the entire process of finding my dream condo, helping me with financing recommendations, negotiating, and handholding me throughout the process. Paul and his team sat down with me right at the beginning of this process and understood my needs. I was given a wide variety of properties to consider and given that I am not a local resident of SF, the entire selection and screening process went like clockwork. I had limited time and Paul was able to use my time very efficiently. In summary - this is a guy who knows his job well and I will forever...
— Vikram M.
Kara does a fantastic job helping new buyers find the best! She's a thoughtful agent who holds value and your needs first! I would recommend her to anyone and highly recommend you check out her listings. Her resources are top-notch and will get the job done quickly and with the highest quality.
— Tj A.
Paul is fantastic, he made navigating the somewhat scary waters of buying a home in San Francisco much less intimidating. Throughout the process, he was extremely responsive, patient, and 100% focused on understanding what we liked, what we didn't, and why. We found a place that we absolutely love - one of the things we appreciate most is even after the sale was done, Paul continues to check in on us and has been a great resource for all things home related. We will definitely use Paul and the team for any future needs!
— Jasmine & John R.
Being in the real estate industry myself, I had high expectations for my real estate agent. I have to say, Paul met them all. From the beginning, Paul invested his time to clearly understand my needs and took the initiative to help me grasp the dynamics of the market. Paul has excellent local knowledge and expertise that clearly sets him apart from others. I must have screened through hundreds of listings and toured dozens of properties week after week. In the end, it was Paul's creativity that helped me find a place that was off my radar. And when it was time to make the offer, Paul's discipline and focus kicked in to seal the deal. To top it all o...
— Mark B.
I wanted to purchase a condominium and the faster the better. Paul made it happen. He found me an absolutely ideal condo and provided the expert guidance I needed in order to prepare a successful bid in the competitive market. His personal approach, optimism, and super-hard work ethic are admirable and make him a pleasure to work with. Almost two years later, I'm still very happy in my condo and neighborhood and with my investment.
— Chelsey R.
My wife and I have worked with Kara on two real estate transactions in Belvedere and we are currently working with her on a third deal there. Kara is extremely organized and driven to find the right property for her clients. She is a great listener and uses the gathered information to find the right listings to show you. We would recommend Kara to anyone looking for real estate in the Bay Area!
— William M.
Over the years we have bought and sold a number of properties and I can say without equivocation that we have never had the pleasure of working with an agent more professional than yourself.
— Patrick R.
Paul was amazing. He is incredibly responsive and attentive. His advice was spot on at all times- in terms of negotiation tactics, pricing etc. It was a fast, clean, perfect close for above comps. He also helped us purchase our new home at a great price in a very competitive market. I have recommended him to ALL of our family and friends. My husband is a retired real estate attorney and thinks he is the best broker with whom he has ever dealt.
— Susan J.
Paul is the best - which is no surprise given that he came recommended by several people in the industry. He helped make my first home purchase in San Francisco as smooth, well-considered, and successful as possible, in part by helping to navigate unforeseen complications that would've given me a heart attack had I not been a calm, capable ally. He also happens to have a keen eye, great taste, and an eye for value. Too bad I don't need a second home, as I would still be working with him then. Thanks, Paul, for knowing real estate in and out and being a top choice for other agents to work with when given the opportunity. These are the qualities anyon...
— Jennifer L.
Had an amazing experience working with Paul from start to finish. He is extremely knowledgeable about neighborhoods in SF, Marin, and beyond, and was great to work with through contract and negotiation. Would absolutely recommend him to friends and family and plan to use him next time we do anything real estate related, whether it's selling, buying, or renting.
— Madeline C.
Paul is extremely knowledgeable, and also extremely responsive. No problems calling him on the weekends or even when he was on vacation. I highly recommend him and already planning to use him for the sale of my previous home.
— Dee D.
Kara Warrin and her team have gone above and beyond in helping us sell our home. From start to finish they were there 24/7 to offer their help and expertise, and we always felt we were in the best of hands. If you are looking to sell your property , we encourage you to contact Kara Warrin - you will not be disappointed!
— Lisa S.
The Warrin team was amazing to work with. They had all of the details on the properties we were looking at and helped us through every step of the transaction. They are experts in the market and made this such an easy process. I highly recommend reaching out to them!
— Brett N.
We worked with Paul Warrin, The Warrin Team earlier this year in selling our Tiburon hillside home of 20 years. I can't speak highly enough of this team. As a licensed CA Realtor myself (office background) I was incredibly discerning in my residential realtor choice. I wanted an impeccable, prompt, composed, discreet wrap around point person. I wondered if I wanted too much, but Paul was ALL of the above. Our home sold quickly and quietly with zero drama and it was entirely Paul Warrin's unflappable grace, and his wrap around team!
— Bethany T.
This is the 3rd property I have sold with Paul and his Team over the last 8 years. They know their market and get good buyers quickly. A homerun!
— Paul R.
Paul was very professional and patient while showing me many listings until I finally found a unit I loved. The process was smooth and transparent and he explained every detail to me and was in constant communication via email, text, and phone. I would highly recommend Paul and his team!
— Thaine T.
Paul has a great understanding of the San Francisco market and was terrific in facilitating the sale of our property this year in June. He is very professional and works hand in hand to determine bring prospective buyers to view properties. His team members, and specifically Holly, are really wonderful and attentive and provide the utmost client service experience.
