Kevin K. Ho, Esq. Email & Phone Number

San Francisco, California

My name is Kevin Ho and I am a top-producing, Broker Associate at Vanguard Properties. Together with my partner, Jonathan McNarry, we specialize in residential and commercial real estate in and around our fair city of San Francisco. I am also an attorney of 10+ years eligible to practice in California before state and federal courts but now focus on real estate almost exclusively. Our clients are both buyers and sellers, old and young, new to the market and seasoned pros from all walks of life. For me, real estate means variety and fun. We love what we do. We live and breathe real estate every day. And while I am also a fully-licensed attorney who can practice as well as advise as appropriate, real estate is more satisfying and rewarding to me.We use technology effectively in my practice. We use our iPhones, iPad, laptops, mobile wifi technology, crowd-sourcing and cloud computing to streamline the entire buying and selling process. I am on the MLS and Technology Committee for the SF Ass'n of REALTORS, a frequent contributor to Curbed SF and on local news. My membership in the State Bar’s Real Property Section and its Subsection on Construction & Development keeps me current and informed of current legal developments impacting real estate. And my membership in the San Francisco Residential Builders’ Association assured my clients are plugged-in to the latest developments in the City.
