Realtor® DRE 01130308

In 1996 I started my career at Coldwell Banker in my hometown of Orinda where I was awarded Rookie of the Year. In 2000 I was a founding partner at Village Associates and then formed my first real estate team at Pacific Union in 2012. Today I work with Compass, the nation’s #1 residential real estate company.

In 2021, RealTrends ranked me in the top 1.5% of all Realtors throughout the US by singularity closing $55 million in sales.

Over the past 25 years I have seen several real estate cycles, more than most agents. Now that we are entering a changing market buyers and sellers are counting on me to navigate them through a successful transaction. My approach to advising clients is to clearly understand their goals and to look out for their best interests.

To maximize a home’s value, I advise clients in areas such as remodeling, landscape, staging, and interior design, architecture and creativity, current real estate trends, home style, construction methods, defects & practices, legal interpretation, property valuation, appraisals, real estate taxes, marketing, advertising, etc.

I share with clients my trusted circle of contractors, handymen, electricians, plumbers, painters, surveyors, architects, CPAs, financial planners, attorneys in probate, estate planning, wills & trusts, property managers, homeowner associations, real estate law, and other professional service providers

I have long-standing relationships with local Realtors, resulting in favorable outcomes for my buyers in multiple offers and fair negotiations on behalf of my sellers. Many of these agents have worked with me on numerous transactions and know what they get with Kurt Piper – excellent communication, fair dealings, and personal respect.

Throughout my career I have enjoyed serving my friends, family and clients with buying and selling homes in the East Bay area (Lafayette, Moraga, Orinda, Walnut Creek, Danville, Alamo, Pleasant Hill, Martinez and Oakland communities).
