About

An Approach that no one else offers

Cynthia Kellogg

I work for AWESOME people and FABULOUS houses. And these things bring me all over California.

I’m excellent at what I do – and my numbers/stats speak for themselves – but at the end of the day what matters to me most is my relationships. With my clients, with my vendors, with my communities. So here’s a bit about me to get us started off on the right foot…

Getting Personal...

I can’t wait to get to know you, because – at the end of the day – my favorite part of this job is the people! I am proud to be on this incredibly accomplished team, and I am excited to dive into assisting you achieve your goals. I’m a 4th generation Californian, but I’ve lived in a few different states (Colorado & Montana). I can confidently say: California is the best!

Most of my career has been in customer service and innovation. Right out of college, I worked at the world’s only (at the time) private ski and golf resort in Big Sky, Montana, where I also got my real estate license and fell in love with this work! But, before jumping all-in, I wanted one more go at start-up life. I joined a robotics startup in San Carlos, where I did everything from sales, to product design, to (lots of!) stakeholder management. But, I kept coming back to real estate and decided to fully commit. I started at Redfin, where I served thousands of clients across the Bay. I quickly learned that that was a high-quantity over high-quality game, which didn’t align to my values. So, once I met Blakely, I knew we were the perfect match, and the rest is history…

Hands on Service Meets Thoughtful Innovation

At the end of the day, we are service professionals, and our #1 goal is always to make EACH client so happy that he/she wants to refer us to all of their friends and family. In fact, ALL of our business comes through referrals and friends. To ensure this is ALWAYS the case, I have built a truly world-class team that is here for everything you need. This team is behind EVERY transaction to ensure that YOU not only get absolutely incredible results but that you also get the protection you need and deserve!

Jennifer Kuschner - VP Transactions

You cannot believe how much ‘paperwork’ there is for every home bought or sold. But, never fear! Jennifer ensures every “I” is dotted and “T” is crossed so that each deal is incredibly smooth. Not to mention, this level of detail is critical to protecting each and every one of our clients. We have no idea how Jennifer manages everything that she does, but we are lucky to have a bad-a$$ mother who can truly balance it all!

Blakely Hull - Real Estate Partner

Meeting Blakely – my now real estate partner – was like meeting another Kindred Spirit (in the words of Anne of Green Gables). Also from a tech startup background, she was not interested in being like “every other” agent. She wanted to be different. When I asked her what brokerage she worked with, her answer to me was, “It’s a new innovative one – you probably haven’t heard of it.” I was HOOKED.

Reese De La Cruz - Assistant

This team wouldn’t operate without the one-and-only, Reese De La Cruz, our wonderful assistant. Reese keeps up very organized, keeps paperwork in check, supports our ongoing and robust marketing efforts for all of our listings, and so, so much more. She is thoughtful, smart, creative, and an incredible team player. And, she’s absolutely embracing this new world of AI, constantly finding more ways to strategically incorporate it into our workflows!

Recent Sales

This seller, who had moved to Italy, originally wanted to rent it out for a year to wait out the 2023 market – after 4 months of zero interest on the rental market we outlined all his options and he decided to move forward with selling it. It took 100 days to get it sold for the price we all were happy with – 15 + open houses – multiple low ball offers – and 20+ private showings – we got it done! This condo has spectacular Bay Views – and we held out for the buyer who understood and appreciated their value.

We met these buyers at an open house we were hosting. They were eager to buy before their December wedding date, had a very firm budget, and really wanted to move to San Francisco (from Santa Rosa). After onboarding them we all got to work and ultimately they fell in love with 817 Masonic. In the process of exploring their options they recognized that they really wanted to be close to Golden Gate Park. This property had been sitting, and we managed to get it for over $100k less than what the seller paid in 2017. So excited to have them as neighbors!

With views spanning from the Golden Gate Bridge to Alcatraz, and ending at the Bay Bridge and 7 decks to soak them all in from – this property is exquisite. The views, the luxury renovations, and the location all made this an easy YES for our buyers looking for a high-end weekend home in Telegraph Hill.

This one was far from straightforward! We had tenant challenges, zoning challenges, property designation challenges, and the list goes on and on. But, we tackled them all and got our clients a killer deal on this investment property for them to treasure for generations to come!

This wonderful condo in the heart of Russian Hill featured the building’s largest, exclusive-use patio, right off the living room. While it was such a special unit, we were faced with a challenging market and historically low sales. But, we still managed to get this sold in 10 days over list price!

Our first-time home buyer absolutely adores her new home, complete with wonderful views. It was such a dream working S, answering all of her great questions throughout this journey so that she felt comfortable navigating the daunting process!

The buyers were absolutely thrilled about this awesome upgrade from their starter home! All of the extra space AND the private garden were huge value-add features for them (and their dog)!

This home is a cozy haven, perfect for unwinding with a cup of coffee or hosting laid-back get-togethers with friends, all while being surrounded by the beauty of nature. Welcome home to our amazing buyers!

This home had lovingly been in the same family for 30+ years. We proudly transformed its incredible bones by making tasteful upgrades to accentuate its Frank Lloyd Wright-esque elements. The buyers went crazy for it!

You have your own, private park as your backyard. Secret oasis. One of largest backyards you will find in San Francisco, complete with your own artist studio and mature beautiful fruit trees.

What Our Clients Say About Us

My husband and I call Blakely and Cynthia the Wonder Twins. When we started working with them we had been looking for a house for 7 months, losing all of our bids. We had all but given up before sitting down to talk with them. Within an hour, we knew that they understood what we wanted and that they would negotiate for us. They asked all the right questions and truly listened. Blakely and Cynthia then showed us ONE place: the one we now live in. This wasn't luck, it was Wonder Twins genius. These women are the real deal. They are pros who view the market through a different lens. They are also both lovely people!

Kim G.

Blakely and Cynthia are the absolute best. We were going through the process of buying our first home and vetted a few realtors before choosing these two. They are thorough, detailed, and armed with all the information you need to help make an incredibly chaotic process as straightforward as possible. Could not recommend them enough!

Minami & Chris

I met Cynthia at a bootcamp and instantly felt a connection with her. She took the time to get to know us to better understand our vision for our first home. She guided us with such care and attention to detail, making sure every step was smooth and every question answered, many before they were even asked. Cynthia went above and beyond to ensure we found a place that truly felt like "us." I couldn’t imagine going through this process with anyone else, and I’m so grateful for her support and expertise. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a real estate agent who genuinely cares!

Jenny R.CEO

I highly recommend Cynthia! As a first-time homebuyer, I appreciated her patience, professionalism, and deep knowledge of the local market. She took the time to understand what I was looking for and guided me through every step, from viewings to closing. Thanks to her, I found the perfect home and felt supported throughout the entire process. I’d definitely work with her again!

Sid M.CEO

Having Cynthia represent me a seller’s broker was based on a social relationship rather than the relatively short interview process that determines who will best help in a life changing process. My social interactions over time allowed me to see Cynthia’s overall knowledge of the real estate market and the general area of my property’s location, especially the changes and fluctuations taking place over a year. I was also able to see Cynthia’s interactions with different personalities and her warmth, caring and humor as honest qualities of her character. As a seller of multiple properties over time, I knew in listing this property, I would not need to interview – Cynthia was my choice. All of the attributes you expect in an agent were evident during the selling process – trust, attention to detail, communications, personal touch, reliability, technology driven and negotiating. I’m a happy customer and I found my buying and selling agent for life.

Janice K.CEO

Cynthia helped us purchase our first home, and I highly recommend her! She is easy to talk to, very patient, super responsive and has an excellent understanding of the market. We were confused about several locations while trying to find our first place, but Cynthia has a great knowledge of all the neighborhoods in the Bay Area and guided us throughout the process. Her negotiation skills are impressive, and the overall experience—from our first meeting to receiving the keys to our new home—was extremely smooth.
