Peter Kitch

If your goal is to get a HOME that you will enjoy and last with long-​lasting memories, you need to speak to Peter first and will not regret you actually did! If you ever have experience in purchasing a HOME, you know it can be a long and frustrated process. With the experience and patience and his professionalism, the process can be much easier and, more importantly, more pleasant (even be fun!)
I am speaking from my experience, and I actually have just closed escrow yesterday with a smile! So, thank you, Peter!

Peter is one of the nicest Realtors in the community. He’s competent, professional, and genuine. His youthful exuberance is a really big advantage to his clients, and it often results in getting a better price – whether you’re on the buy-​side or sell-​side.

I was responsible for selling my mother’s home which was not in good shape. Peter began working with me early in my evaluation of when to sell, whether to renovate etc. He even helped obtain inspection reports and we discussed what work might add value and what was not worthwhile. Peter was extremely patient and the process took almost a year from our first discussion to listing it for sale.
Peter helped throughout the process — providing updated market assessments etc. Having not bought or sold a home in many years, it was helpful to discuss the process, go to open houses and review disclosures from other properties. Peter was willing to let me be involved as I wanted or needed to be.
As the renovations neared completion we met to discuss listing agreements, terms and conditions and what was happening in the market — which in this past year has become a very different market! Peter discussed his marketing plan and a proposed schedule that involved everything from photography and development of brochures to inspections, posting disclosures and going to market! The end result was a smooth, successful sale with me happy with the service Peter rendered and the price we obtained. Peter’s understanding of not only the market and process, but the intangible, emotional elements involved in selling a childhood home brought closure to my family and a new home to another family.
Well done Peter.

Me and my spouse were in the market for a new home in the bay area a 3 – 4 months ago. Now, thanks to Peter Kitch’s help from Alain Pinel Realtors I’m currently writing this review from our brand new house.
I was introduced to Peter Kitch through a friend, and right away I felt comfortable in the way he took in our entire situation. He was patient, professional, honest, dependable, sincere, and genuinely seemed like he wanted to help us. As new buyers, the entire process of obtaining a new home was overwhelming, but Peter made sure that we were in good hands in whatever direction we decided to go in and listened carefully as to what we had in mind. We had a lot of dumb questions due to our inexperience and we didn’t feel afraid to ask them when Peter was around.
Without Peter, we’d probably still be trying to find a new home. He’s a very smart man and a genius at what he does. Anyone that wants a new place or home would be wise to consider him. I can’t thank his services enough.

My mom are looking for her «forever home». A place she can call her own and grow old in. Peter Kitch met with us, talked through our needs and then went about trying to help us find a house. I am sad to report that we still don’t have one but it is not from lack of support or trying from Peter.
My mom and I searched the North bay, South bay and lots of places in between and Peter was with us all the way. We got really close a couple of times but the bay area can be a tough place to compete. What I want to say here about Peter is that he took a lot of time and attention helping inspect the properties we were most interested in himself, with checklist in hand. He patiently answered our questions about disclosures and offer details. And my mom didn’t make this easy for him either — she can be tech challenged so even simple email correspondence can trip her up at times. If this drove him crazy (it does me!), he never let on. We are regular folks, my mom and I, not investors who do this everyday so I appreciated his taking the time with us.
We have finally landed on the area we want to buy in and it is outside of Peter’s main area so we have gracefully parted ways but I am so grateful for all his work with us and wish him all the best. If we were looking for a home in the Menlo/​Atherton or even the mid-​Peninsula area, we would no doubt still be traveling open houses with Peter.
Note that I rated Peter a 4 because we never got through a deal though having seen his diligence in getting an offer together, I am sure he would do great!
Thanks Peter!

Peter helped me and my wife buy our first house together. We spent about 6 months looking at houses before we finally chose the perfect house. During that time Peter patiently helped us, sending us listings and showing us the places we wanted to see.
Once we were in contract, Peter made things very easy for us. He does everything on the internet, so it was easy for us to view and sign documents from the comfort of our home. We were on a tight schedule since we were going away on our honeymoon, and Peter worked closely with the listing agent, the loan agent and the title company, calling them regularly to make sure things were moving as quickly as possible.
Even after the contract closed and the house was ours Peter didn’t disengage. While we were on our honeymoon he made sure our new garden was kept watered and he even paid our PG&E bill.
Two months after we bought the house, there was a water leak from a lawn sprinkler. In a panic I called Peter and asked if he knew how to shut the water off. To my surprise he immediately came over, found the valve to shut off the water, and even excavated some of the soil with his bare hands!
Peter goes above and beyond what a normal agent would do, and I highly recommend him.

A superb realtor.
It is extremely important to me to find honest, hard-​working and sincere individuals when it involves a long working relationship.
Peter Kitch, specifically, of Alain Pinel Realtors in Menlo Park embodies all the above mentioned qualities and more. He is professional, reliable and focused. He gets the work done and does it all with a smile!
I especially appreciated the «Buyer’s Presenation» Peter provided because he not only answered a great number of questions I had (about real estate, buying and selling) but also left the table open for me to communicate my time-​frame, budget and even the anxieties that come with purchasing a home.
Thanks!
