Our Team
Anne Kennedy leads a top-performing real estate team serving Northern California, known for guiding clients through complex transactions with clarity, strategy, and confidence. Clients benefit from a rare combination of architectural training, business expertise, and more than two decades of real estate experience—particularly valuable when pricing, positioning, and negotiating properties in competitive or nuanced markets.
With a background in architecture and an MBA from UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business, Anne brings a highly analytical, detail-oriented approach to real estate. Her early career in architecture and contract negotiation informs how she evaluates property condition, development potential, and risk—helping clients make well-informed decisions whether they are buying, selling, or investing.
Licensed since 2002, Anne has worked across residential, commercial, and investment real estate and has consistently been sought out by clients facing high-stakes decisions, including portfolio acquisitions, multi-owner sales, and long-term investment planning. She has also played key leadership roles within large brokerages, helping build and scale successful offices and teams while maintaining a strong focus on client service and results.
As an active real estate investor herself, Anne understands transactions from the client’s perspective. She and her husband have owned and managed properties across multiple states and internationally, experience that allows her to advise clients not just on the transaction at hand, but on how each decision fits into broader financial and lifestyle goals.
Today, Anne leads a collaborative team of experienced agents and support staff, ensuring clients receive both senior-level strategy and hands-on execution throughout the process. Her work as an educator—teaching real estate investing and business planning for over 20 years—further reinforces her commitment to clear communication and thoughtful guidance.
