This experience taught Kenn the importance of effective management and attention to details, both important traits that he continues to exhibit in his career today.

Professional Philosophy

Kenn has the knowledge gained through experience to help you realize your dreams and protect your investment. Commenting on the fact that 95% of his business is from referrals, Kenn says "They know I will do whatever it takes to get the job done, to make my clients satisfied. If it means fixing a faucet and I can't find someone to do it, I'll do it myself!" "It's that kind of a can do attitude that clients appreciate just as much as they appreciate the constant flow of information that Kenn sends their way." "I always make a point of educating my clients so that there are no surprises," he explains.

Don Callahan

Upon retiring from the CPA profession, I joined my son, Kenn, and the Callahan Real Estate Group. Expertise about Real Estate and the local market and exceptional service to his clients are definitely Kenn’s forte.

As a CPA for 34 years, my reputation for treating my clients personally and being focused on client satisfaction resulted in client loyalty. Many of my clients were clients for more than 30 years. It is that same reputation of personal client attention and being focused on client satisfaction that has guided me to be successful in helping our clients sell or buy a home. The Callahan Real Estate Group core values of confidentiality, honesty, integrity, respect and high ethical standards guide us in all that we do. There are only a few things in life more stressful than going through the process of buying or selling a home. I take the responsibility to make you as comfortable as possible through this process.

My Pledge to You… I will keep you abreast of all aspects of the buying or selling process from beginning to end. I will be keeping you informed and relieve you of dealing with the various recommended Inspections, such as termite, home, chimney and roof. I will produce the Marketing of your home if you are selling and oversee all aspects of the transaction through the Close of Escrow, where I will be at your elbow during the signing of the Closing Escrow papers.

Having been raised in Los Gatos, I am an advocate of local community involvement. I am currently serving on the Board of Directors of the Los Gatos Community Foundation, Inc., Billy Jones Wildcat Railroad, YMCA of Silicon Valley and Rotary Club of San Jose Foundation.
