John Kenny

John helped us selling our home in San Mateo. Even though we are living out of state, John was there every step of the process. He is knowledgeable, prompt in responding to questions, and went above what was required to get the home sold. We were able to sell the home quickly and we are happy with the outcome of the sale. Wed highly recommend John Kenny!

I am a widow and the thought of selling my home by myself was frightening. Well with John's knowledge and patience with me the home did sell over the asking price. As I said, I knew nothing or people to contact foe upgrades to the house. John helped me with that and also I finally was able to contact some companies myself for estimates. I actually hired the people John recommended. Their estimates were best and their work turned out beautiful. John also has a great sense of humor that helped keep me entertained and he got me to relax and enjoy life during what could be a very hectic time, but because of John, I have a good memory of what I feel could have been not so good if John Kenny had not been my realtor. Thanks John for a SUPER experience. Deanie

Purchasing a house stands as one of the most significant investments one can make, entailing a decision riddled with complexities. Fortunately, my wife and I found ourselves in the capable hands of John Kenny, our esteemed real estate agent. From the moment we met him, John exuded a rare blend of tranquility and boundless enthusiasm. Our quest for the perfect home spanned several years, a journey fraught with challenges, yet John remained steadfastly dedicated. Punctuality is evidently one of his virtues; he has never once been tardy for an appointment. With each property he presented, John expertly highlighted crucial aspects, guiding us through the intricate landscape of home buying with ease. John's affable demeanor, coupled with his unwavering positivity, has been a source of immense comfort throughout this process. Even during the intricate stages of escrow, John remains a pillar of support, tirelessly liaising with the title company and the bank on our behalf. In John, we've not only found an exemplary real estate agent but also a cherished friend. His professionalism, coupled with his genuine care for his clients, undoubtedly sets him apart. John Kenny is, without a doubt, the epitome of excellence in the realm of real estate.

John Kenny was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He went beyond his call of duty. Love him!

Selling a home in one state when you live in another can certainly lead to extra stress for such an important transaction; however, with John as our real estate representative, it could not have been easier. From the first day we met & began working with him, John quickly won us over with his extensive knowledge of the area, his proven track record of successful closings in that area, his calm and reasonable recommendations for preparing and marketing our house, and his overall wonderful personality. We drove back to our home state feeling confident and comfortable about him, and his actions over the following weeks proved wed made an excellent choice. John coordinated the completion of every task wed agreed on, and consistently communicated via text, email and phone call to assure we knew exactly what was happening every step of the way. His guidance on responding to offers & counteroffers was right on target with our goals, and we successfully closed the sale of our house in less than 6 weeks from the day we met him. John is a consummate professional and a genuinely nice guy. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate. Hes a true winner and a 5-start rating of his services is well deserved.

John was a complete pro during the sales and closure process. He was very knowledgeable as to the market conditions and the legal aspects of the sales cycle. He was very responsive to all questions and concerns. He went out of his way to insure that all of the details were addressed. I would highly recommend John and hope to work with him in future real estate transactions.

YOU NEED HIM!!! John Kenny was by far, the best agent I have ever worked with to sell a property, and my husband and I have bought and sold several over the years. John handled everything for a successful sale; there were no hiccups. John not only suggested what repairs and cosmetic work was needed to make the home appealing to buyers, but he has a pocketful of amazing professionals to share with you. John worked tireless with us, the workers and the escrow company to make this sale stressless, easy and prompt. His professionalism and expertise is spot-on. John went the extra mile in so very many ways. Do not hesitate to contract with John Kenny.

We recently sold (2) rental properties involving a trust. John's dedication, expertise and patience truly made the experience manageable. He always had a positive attitude with suggestions and resources to help with any issues. He had excellent communication & was thoughtful through the whole experience. I would highly recommend John to handle any sale in the future.

I highly recommend John Kenny as a real estate agent. On a scale of one to ten I will rate him a fifteen. He is knowledgeable, experienced, detailed, professional and wonderfully communicative. John went over and above what it took to sell our home in the Excelsior/Crocker Amazon neighborhood. He knows well this area, the product, the market. I trust him completely.

When i, a senior, citizen, was preparing to move to anther state, John told me i could move without so much as cleaning out the refrigerator. I did not clean it and John arranged for all of the many cleaning, clearing, staging, etc. tasks associated with selling a home. He responded quickly to texts and emails and never kept me in the dark. I would certainly use him again.

John was amazing. After initially touring a few houses he understood what we liked and started to curate a list that he kept updated every day. He was with us every step of the way and you could tell he genuinely enjoyed his job! Not only was he extremely knowledgable about the area, but he was also transparent with what knowledge he lacked and would only give us a real answer once he had done more research. Add to that his kindness and great laugh, John is a top real estate agent that I will continue to work with again. Furthermore, he also helped us in tough situations: there was a unique situation where the house we ended up purchasing was under contention from a party that said yes to the purchase the week prior but then backed out. When we went to tour it the week after, we loved the place and had to make a decision that weekend. We said we would purchase the place but the other party suddenly changed their mind again! This could have been very troubling legally, but John worked hard and tried his best, eventually getting the other party to give up on the house. Keep in mind that this was all happening on a Sunday when he should be resting! We are extremely grateful to John and are even going forward with him to help us manage our property.

We are happy we chose John to list our home. His years of experience in Mission Terrace and his business contacts from contractors, inspectors to staging made a seamless selling process. John did an outstanding job in keeping us informed and selling our home in a timely manner. We highly recommend John Kennys services.

I highly recommend John Kenny for selling properties as-is.Everything smoothly with appointments of house tours, choosing the best buyer options to escrow closing.

John was able to effectively and efficiently sell a home that was entangled in a complicated trust litigation matter. I was very impressed by John's attention to detail and responsiveness to my inquiries. I would definitely recommend John for sales in which the real estate agent needs to go the extra mile for the seller or buyer.

John was thorough and professional in the handling of the sale of our family home of 60+ years. His recommendations on how to best display the home for maximum value and expeditious sale were spot on, and made the whole process very smooth and easy for us. I would recommend using John to anyone interested in selling a home as he clearly knows the best way to go about it.

When the time came to sell our late parents home, we could not have chosen a better man for the job than John Kenny. From beginning till end, John oversaw every aspect of renovating the house and negotiating what we considered a perfect sale. Our faith in John was rewarded every step of the way with his extensive real estate background, knowledge of the area, and ability to point out worthwhile improvements which transformed the house into a showcase. John has the finest contractor connections: painting, landscaping, hardwood flooring, cleaning and staging. Top quality work for very reasonable prices; we could not have been happier with his recommendations. . John was incredibly responsive to every question and concern family members had. You would have thought that we were his only clients by the attention and care he devoted to us. John Kenny deserves more than the five stars allotted for his professional expertise and endearing personality. He is the best!

We highly endorse John Kenny of Century 21 as the ideal agent to handle the sale of your current home or assist in your next home purchase. His professionalism, exceptional organizational skills, punctuality, and remarkable interpersonal qualities make him an outstanding choice. John successfully sold two properties for us, delivering exceptional results and guiding us seamlessly to our new home. Our trust in him has been wholeheartedly rewarded, and we couldn't be happier with our decision. John truly is the go-to person for all your real estate needs! The Kelley family

We 100% recommend John if you are looking for an agent to buy a house. From the get go, John understood what we were looking for and partnered with us as we went through the process of visiting properties, putting in offers and ultimately closing on our first home. John is a complete professional and knows what he is doing. If we buy or sell another property in the bay it will be with John.

John was a pleasure to work with. John was recommended to us by a family member, as we had to sell our mothers house after she passed. John was sensitive to our needs, understood the emotions we were going thorough, and kept us informed throughout the entire process. John was exactly who we needed in our familys time of need.

John Kenny helped us navigate the sale of a home which had been in our family for over 70 years. His sensitivity and professionalism carried through in every aspect of the process. He researched and was informed of the neighborhood, he managed the work necessary for the house to be marketable, was accessible to brokers and their clients and kept us informed daily of the progress. We would highly recommend John!

Five stars are not enough to rate John's superlative job in helping us to prepare and sell our late parents' home in San Mateo. With knowledge, judicious advice and steadfast support, he guided us through what presented itself as a daunting undertaking. I remember feeling defeated when facing the prospect of emptying the family house of a long lifetime of stuff before any upgrade needs could be assessed, much less undertaken - and this during a time of pandemic. Another challenge was due to my living several time zones away, so a lot had to be organized remotely. John's optimism, can-do attitude, resourcefulness, willingness to get his hands dirty and "go the extra mile", as well as his natural good nature and cheerful disposition were just what was needed. He appears to derive pleasure from his work and that is infectious. The house was transformed and ended up selling fast and for more than I had dared hope, but John's estimate was spot on.

My wife and I were clients of John. We started our home search in Fall 2021 and John stuck with us for 7 months until we finally landed something in April 2022. Throughout the search & purchase process I appreciate John meeting our needs based on our modest budget. He is very communicative, understanding, and knowledgeable. His best quality is that he is genuine and honest. When asked for his real advice, he gives it. When we needed him to go to bat for us, he represented us strongly. He's been in the real estate industry for 25+ years and his experience and reputation is clearly visible through his large network. If for any reason we need to purchase another home or sell my current one, we will use John Kenny again. I would also like to give kudos to the entire Baldini Century 21 Realty group for their reliability. When John took a vacation, his colleague Bruno was extremely communicative and responsive when we needed him to be.

John is the best!!!! Helpful and patient every step of the way! Highly recommend!

I strongly recommend Jon Kenny. Ive worked with him as a buyer and as a seller, and he is my first choice the next time I need a broker. He listens carefully, and tailors his advice to fit the needs and understanding of the client. He is an excellent advocate when working with others in his field. As a bonus, he has an extensive network of vendors and service professionals who can help at all the various stages of moving, including cleaners, moving companies, carpentry, painters, landscaping, and anything else you might happen to need along the way. Moving is complicated enough; its good to have someone in your corner who always has your back.

"I can't say enough about my experience with John Kenny and all the help he was in the sale of my Father's home. I live about 80 miles away in far East County and making the trip to SF wasn't always feasible but John went above and beyond so I wouldn't have to. Through the entire process I knew if i called him he was there to answer any questions I might have. He negotiated the sale of the home which resulted in receiving top dollar. I've sold a few homes over the years and this was by far the best experience. Thank you again John!"

"John was my listing agent on a three unit building. He was proactive, responsive, timely, and knowledgeable. He is now assisting with a 1031 exchange. I would use him again. "

"John sold my Mother-in-Law's home in San Francisco. He provided excellent service from the start - and my skeptical mother-in-law loved him from their first meeting. He did everything he could to make her feel comfortable, he was very patient with her questions and uncertainty, and he gave her all the time she needed at each meeting. John was professional, personable, and extremely knowledgeable! He had the professional connections that allowed minimal effort on our part to get the home ready to sell. He priced her home reasonably and ended up selling in less than two weeks and for more than $75k over the listed price!! I highly recommend John Kenny! You will not regret choosing John as your real estate agent!"

Jun 13, 2016John did a great job handling the sale of our property. He was attentive, thorough, and timely. I would definitely use him again.

Jun 13, 2016John was outstanding.He went over all comparable listings and recent sales with us and then we agreed on a fair asking price witch resulted in a cash offer at full price.We would recommend John to anyone. Great guy.

NP recommends John J. KennyProfessorOct 16, 2016I highly recommend John--he is efficient, savvy of the market, with an uncanny sense of when to nudge and when to give us space. It was nearly a year-long process for us to get my parent's home on the market and John was always available and responded to my questions typically within an hour.

Aug 26, 2016John has been there for three sales transactions, from beginning to end. He helped us find and buy our first home and, 13 years later, sell it for almost three times the original purchase price. His knowledge of the market, the process and his ability to understand and show compassion for people during what can't be a very difficult process. John's a great guy and I trust him 100% with any transaction I would ever do. He's honest, straightforward, and tells you like it is. He also has a great sense of humor and knows went to lighten up the mood. He's my go to real estate guy forever.

Special Agent - Department of JusticeNov 21, 2015John Kenny is a talent worth knowing! John has elevated the task of buying/selling sticks and bricks to a new creative and competitive level. John's energy, blinding smile and grasp of the Bay area housing market has made my dream come true in less than 90 days! Somehow, John orchestrated me a deal which placed me in the house of my dreams, 'below asking/list price'! Just this one deal speaks to John's great days ahead. If asked to paint a picture of John Kenny with words, I'd say, 'Competent', 'Compassionate' and 'Creative'. In sum, John Kenny is not the sort of man who wakes up each morning plagued by self doubt or wondering what to do.

Jun 9, 2016Working with John was effortless! He was such a pleasure to work with that the sale of my house was actually fun! John is as professional as they come - he made sure to stay on top of everything through the entire process. And, we got $85,000 over asking price! I would highly recommend John to anyone wanting to buy or sell a home
