"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."

"I have worked with John to buy and sell houses and my experience has always been first rate. John takes a "white glove" approach with every stage of the transaction and ensures not only a great outcome, but that the complicated home buying/selling process is as effortless as possible...and he makes it look easy based on his market knowledge and experience."

  -Mark A., Client

"John has what my wife and I value most in a realtor: sincere personal connection and interest in finding us the best house. John's performance record speaks for itself. What stood out was his keen ability to understand our needs, and then clearly consider those needs against each house we saw. And to boot, his energy and sense of humor make him a blast to do business with. We'd highly recommend him at the drop of a hat."

  -Matthew, Client

"John is an outstanding Realtor! He was able sell our house in a very timely manner for a great price! Our sale was very complicated, legally and logistically. John was able to use his years of experience and knowledge to maneuver our sale through every issue in a very effective manner. He is very understanding, thoughtful, and kind. I would recommend John to all my family, friends, and anyone else needing an expert Realtor. With John, you will not only get a highly competent Realtor, you will also gain a trusted friend. Thanks again, John!"

"John is great! Very knowledgeable and diligent. He saw things we didn’t. He steered us away from some tempting properties that had some issues that were not so obvious. We ultimately landed on a great place and we have him to thank. Highly recommend."

  -Scott K, Client

"I strongly recommend Jon Kenny. I’ve 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; it’s good to have someone in your corner who always has your back."

  -Jeffrey R., Client

"We moved to Minnesota from Daly City, CA before we sold our Daly City home of 34 years. John managed the property (i.e., prepared for sale) on his own without us in state. He did a great job of staging the property and we sold it shortly after initial listing above our asking price. Great job John!"

  -Mike S., Client

"This kind of talent comes along once in a lifetime. Whether buying/selling, John Kenny has the Midas Touch."

  -Emile M, Client

"I work with many REALTORS, but John is head and shoulders above all of them! He is always available, very responsive and is very knowledgeable about buying and selling real estate. I have referred many clients to John and his follow through was excellent and every client that worked with John was very pleased with his service and acumen! On top of that, he is a great guy that is a pleasure to work with! Keep up the great work, John!"

  -JD Miller, Colleague

"John did an excellent job in helping us purchase our new home. He is very knowledgeable, detail-oriented and has the integrity that we appreciate. Communication was superb throughout the process. John's knowledge and experience around homes, the housing market and the overall home buying process was very impressive and helped us immensely. It's been such a pleasure working with John. He has such a positive attitude. We highly recommend him. Thank you John!"

  -Ren and Bonnie S, Client

"Help me secure a 3 unit rental unit in a great location. Helped negotiate the sale and made sure there were no problems! Great service! A true professional!"

  -Chris R., Client

"Thanks to John Kenny, I am now the proud owner of the perfect home in a beautiful neighborhood in Brisbane, California. If you want to remove all the trepidation that comes with selling and buying a home, you should team-up with John Kenny, at Century 21 Baldini Realty. Firm, fair and just best describes John Kenny. Believe me, John Kenny will smooth the way to all of your Real Estate needs. "

  -Emile M., Client

"Having John as our real estate agent was the best move I’ve made! John helped us sell our townhouse when the housing inventory was up and there were daily negative news about the real estate market. John worked tirelessly and gave us excellent and sensible recommendations that resulted in ours sold for more than $100k over another townhouse that had the same layout and sq. footage. The other unit had the city view and upgraded kitchen, something ours didn’t. Ours had an upstairs area closed in as a third bedroom. We appreciate that John was never pushy and never told us to spend money on upgrades that may result in fast sale but not advantageous to us, the sellers. We were out of state the whole time, and he took care of all of the detail work. When nearby properties kept reducing their asking price, ours was sold in one week and 5% over asking price. John is absolutely amazing in every sense."

  -Jackie S, Client

"John is very thorough and really knows his stuff! He also is very good at communicating via email when you have questions or things on your mind that need to be discussed. If it is too much for an email, he will willingly have a good phone conversation instead. But on top of all that, he is more than capable and I highly recommend using John for selling or buying your house! He was perfect for our needs and I would use him again in a heartbeat!"

  -Dori S, Client

"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."

  -Dylan L, Client

"John did a great job as our buyers agent. He was very responsive (text, email, phone call). We got lucky with our offer, because the seller accepted it without any counters (we went in about $20k under the asking), and John was very helpful through the entire closing process. He communicated very well with our lender and the HOA to get us closed within 25 days. Granted that's not just on him, that depends on the lender as well - but he was involved in it all the way to push them to close on time and that's important. After closing, I asked him if he can give me our full escrow file in hard copy (400+ pages) AND digital format - John obliged with no questions asked. There's a reason he gets consistent high ratings online and nationally - he's really good at what he does."

  -Aditya P, Client

"John was very thorough, informative and responsive with all our concerns and questions throughout the selling process. We hired John for his expertise in the area and experience in the field.

  -Ryan H, Client

"John was recommended to me by a friend. In April of this year, I used john for the first time to sell one property & buy another. I found john extremely knowledgeable about real estate, reliable & always prompt. He gave first class service thru the whole process, giving me support & advice every step of the way. He returned all my calls, answering every question I had ( and I had plenty of questions). I strongly recommend John to anyone getting ready to buy or sell any property."

  -Bill E, Client

"John Kenny has been amazing to work with. My wife and I were looking to sell our condo in SF and get a house in the San Mateo / Burlingame area. He was consultative, supportive, and great throughout the whole process. He helped us find the perfect home that fit our needs and we’ve been there for over 5 years now. He also helped us sell the condo in SF seamlessly and successfully. John has stayed in touch very consistently since then and he will be my first call if ever I’m in the housing market again. I highly recommend!"

  -Chris S., Client

He gave us access to a network of remodeling contractors who were all exceptional. Just the best experience possible from every point of view.""

  -Bill and Sue, Client

"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!"

"John pays attention to detail and is a great advisor. I recommend John Kenny to anyone looking for a real estate agent."

  -Jim G., Client

""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!""
