Testimonials

"Kevin's knowledge of both the neighborhood & intricacies of real estate made my life incredibly easy as a buyer. When I had a question, he got back to me ASAP with an answer. Kevin is a great communicator, and it never took him longer than a few hours to get back to me. Other agents took days. This was especially helpful as a first-time buyer. When it finally came time to negotiate with the seller, Kevin ended up getting me -THE BEST DEAL- in the entire building! THE lowest $/SF, you can check MLS for proof :) He went to bat for me and hit a grand slam. I can't recommend him enough to my friends. You will NOT be disappointed with Kevin!"

- Aaron McCullough, (Financial Analyst, International Cash Management & Risk at Google)

“I was in the market casually for a number of months in 2009 and met a ton of different Realtors during that time. I was convinced I could find a place on my own via Craigslist and online. I happened upon Soma Grand one sunday afternoon and luckily met Kevin. From the moment I met him I knew he was the guy I wanted to work with. We viewed all the major luxury high rise buildings in SF from One Rincon to the Inifinity Towers. He was patient and provided the pros and cons of each location. Kevin's got great connections at each sales office and really know when and how to get the best deal for his buyers. We negotiated a great deal at Soma Grand and I got exactly what I was looking for and have the peace of mind that it was a good buy.”  

- Steve E. (Lucasfilms, Homeowner @ Soma Grand)  

“I recently purchased a condo at the Infinity and was fortunate enough to have worked with Kevin. Based on my personal experience as well as through conversations with others, there simply isn't anyone else better than Kevin and his team when it comes to the SF real estate market. Kevin helped negotiate an awesome deal for me, made the process a breeze, and was fun to work with. Kevin invested time to fully understand what I was looking for in a first home while keeping in mind my price range, and utilized his expertise to show me several properties that fit those criteria. At the end of the day we both decided Infinity was the best option and he went full steam ahead in closing the deal for me. To everyone and anyone needing a trustworthy, knowledgeable and hardworking real estate agent, get at my man Kevin and you won't be disappointed.”  

- Grant L. (Armanino McKenna)  

“I had a WONDERFUL experience with my Realtor Kevin Gueco. This guy knows what he is doing: he knows what's on the market in the city, he knows what you are looking for, he will get what you like for the lowest price possible. When I started working with Kevin, he took his time to learn what I am actually looking for... He asked me tons of questions to understand where I stand. Kevin delivered exactly what I was looking for, for the price I was looking for!!! He negotiated the best deal for me, at the best location.  
A few very important things about Kevin: very professional, great personality, he knows everybody and everybody knows him... When I was asked by some random people "who my agent is", they always said: "You are in great hands!" He was always accessible and, even though I know he always keeps busy, I never felt like he was in a rush to get off of the phone with me. I highly recommend Kevin as your agent.”

- Alex K. (Homeowner @ Soma Grand)  

“Kevin always kept my peace of mind at a premium...and when we looked at places, he looked at them w/ me like he was buying his own place.  Although I've bought a home before, Kev made no assumptions, and answered all my questions about the home-buying process, leveraging his network of resources, friends, and colleagues, to make sure this home-buying experience was thorough and comfortable. 

A few weeks later, Kevin came through like gangbusters.  We closed on a house in the Sunset, with a view of the ocean, 3 blocks from the beach, fully renovated kitchen, bathroom, hardwood floors, fully landscaped....and with a huge backyard w/ a deck, where you can hear the surf crashing, and the foghorns in the distance.  Everything I wanted in the house was already done.  All I needed to do was move my things in.  Kevin found me the spot I'd been looking for, and saved me at least $80K because I didn't have to do any remodeling.”  

- Mike E. (Firefighter and Homeowner in the Sunset District)  

“Even though we did not end up finding a place in SF, Kevin was a joy to work with.  He was very diligent and took our needs seriously.  He showed us a good number of apts before we decided that SF was not our best option (we eventually moved closer to work in Silicon Valley).  

I highly recommend Kevin as a broker in SF!”  

- Sidney C. (Google)

“What I enjoyed most about working with Kevin was his honesty, integrity, patience, and access to unpublished brand new properties. He provided a lot of information throughout the entire home search process to help me learn the market. In the end I was able to invest in a home that I love, at a price that was hard to refuse. I would rate his level of service as a 10 out of 10.”

- E. F. (Homeowner at 1160 Mission St., SOMA, “Soma Grand”)

“I refer my home buyers to Kevin because he gives them all the same high level of service regardless of the price range they are investing in. Each individual I have referred to Kevin has been thrilled with his guaranteed satisfaction policy for working with buyers, bringing value to the table above and beyond merely just finding a home for his clients. In addition to having the people skills necessary to successfully negotiate a real estate transaction in his clients' best interest, he is also great at giving my clients regular market updates,and also at coordinating their escrow so that everything flows seamlessly. His most recent designation as an Accredited Buyer Representative shows that he is deepening his commitment to his profession at a time when other practitioners are leaving the industry. Based on his consultative approach, work ethic, market knowledge, and drive to succeed, it is quite easy for me to recommend Kevin Gueco for any and all of your residential real estate ventures in the SFBay Area.” January 7, 2008

He is a dedicated, hard-working, and knowledgeable realtor with excellent marketing and negotiation skills. What's more, he follows up on his clients long after the sale to answer questions and offer his expert advice.

BIO

While attending the University of California - Los Angeles, Kevin was introduced to real estate through his work at GBInvestments, a property management firm that managed over 3 dozen commercial properties in Santa Monica. With stellar grades, clinical experience, and an MCAT score of 28, Kevin was on track to attend medical school. But after graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Psychobiology, he decided to entertain a passion for food and explore his options in culinary arts. It was by working as a line-cook at Bradley Ogden's Arterra that Kevin learned about the team work, time management, preparation, and standard of perfection that are necessary to run not only a top-rated restaurant, but any successful business. 

San Francisco not only is the food capital of the west coast, but it also happens to be one of the best real estate markets in the world. So it did not surprise anyone when Kevin found himself going back to his roots in real estate. "It was only by working in a fine dining environment that I was able to understandthe true meaning of customer service. There is nothing I won’t do for my clients." Armed with local market knowledge, years of experience, and an innate desire to help others, Kevin is on his way to becoming one of the most respected real estate professionals in the nation.
