An Alain Pinel Realtors Broker Associate and leader of the Kurtz Real Estate Group
Welcome! I’m Gary Kurtz, an Alain Pinel Realtors Menlo Park broker associate. I am also the team leader of the Kurtz Real Estate Group. My team of experienced SF Peninsula Realtors® and support staff/vendors focuses on residential properties, luxury real estate, condos and townhomes in cities from Redwood City down to Saratoga, but a large core of our business is in Atherton, Menlo Park and Palo Alto. Our client base relies heavily on referrals from clients and other Realtors® who respect and appreciate our integrity and strong work ethic as well as thru our various marketing efforts as we enjoy working with new clients and buyers in all price ranges.
We have established ourselves as honest, ethical, and detail oriented real estate professionals. We are dedicated to fulfilling the needs and goals of our clients through clear, consistent communication with excellent knowledge of the Peninsula real estate market and experienced marketing and negotiating skills to ensure you the best deal, regardless if you are a buyer or seller.
Why sell Your Property with the Kurtz Real Estate Group?
Every Realtor® wants to list your home, but not every Realtor® is up to the task of properly marketing your property. With hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars of equity on the line, your decision is much too important to just choose a friend, a neighbor, or the convenient local brokerage. You need your property to be where today’s buyers are looking. According to the National Association of Realtors®, 89% of buyers start their search for property on the Internet. Let the Kurtz Real Estate Group make your property extremely visible where today’s buyers are looking. Let the power of our marketing base of buyers drive the price of your property to its maximum market value.
Atherton, Menlo Park and Palo Alto Area Sellers are choosing the Kurtz Real Estate Group.
Why?
The Kurtz Real Estate Group delivers!
89% of buyers started their property search online. Internet buyers spend only two weeks looking for property they ultimately purchase, compared with seven weeks for traditional buyers. We know how to reach thousands of prospective buyers who use the internet weekly to find their home, ensuring your property will be seen. Allow us to put your property in front of our buyers.
The importance of choosing the right Realtor® to help you gain maximum exposure, and help you navigate smoothly through the selling process can’t be overstated. Your choice deserves serious consideration and investigation. We invite you to take a few minutes to understand the unique advantages only the Kurtz Team provides.

We Embrace New Technology and Social Media
In today’s 24-hour society, it’s important to use marketing systems for sellers, and search tools for buyers, that work around-the-clock on the Internet. My knowledge and understanding of how to apply today’s technologies and marketing techniques are what set me apart from traditional agents and enable your home to be paramount in traditional media, on the Internet, or on the MLS. Combining these techniques with my strong work ethic results in successful transactions that take less time, effort, and stress for both buyers and sellers.
We utilize the latest social media trends to get the word out about your home or home search. From Facebook to Twitter to Blogging, we have you covered. We also make a video of your home and put it on YouTube and hundreds of video affiliated real estate sites that reach an audience of millions around the world. A buyer in China, Canada or Russia has the same opportunity to see your home first hand as does the local buyer in Palo Alto. We make the world a smaller place and allow your home to be purchased from nearly any place there is the internet.

This blog is dedicated to sharing information about Luxury Real Estate in the SF peninsula area. From Atherton to Menlo Park to Palo Alto and Los Altos/Los Altos Hills and many areas beyond. I’ll keep you up to date on what is happening here as well as give real estate tips/guidelines.
I also have a video show titled “The Real Estate Insider” which will give you inside tours of mansions in the area plus real estate information and news that relate to the SF Peninsula area.
If you are looking to buy a home or sell your current one, please give me a call and I can help you achieve the goals you need in completing the deal. I work with properties in all price ranges from the multi million dollar homes in Menlo Park/Atherton/Palo Alto/Los Altos etc. and in outlying cities where homes are lower than a million dollars, so whether you need a Luxury Home or a moderate priced home, I can help.
I also specialize in “discreet listings” where there won’t be realtor signs in front of your property or open house Sunday’s while still aggressively marketing your home to serious buyers. This mainly applies to the luxury real estate sellers, but can work for any client.
I have more information on homes, schools, demographics, open houses etc. on my Alain Pinel website. Just click here to link you through.
