What I live in

Classic and minimalist linen and black denim.

Working as a radio-maker taught me...

The power of really listening to someone’s story for what they say — and what they don’t.

On my playlist rotation

A mix of ‘90s neo-soul, pop from the ‘10s, and a whole lot of BTS.

My idea of a perfect evening

Closing down all my tabs and apps after a day of meaningful, fulfilling work to cook a simple meal, turn up the music, and sing my little heart out.

What My Clients Say

We worked with Caley and Kenny on our transaction and both were a delight to work with. The Willowmar team is highly knowledgeable and we would 100% work with them again!

What My Clients Say

We worked closely with Adeline for over 8 months (!) before buying our home in the peninsula, and could not be happier with our experience. Sometimes in life, you feel blessed for coming across someone, and cannot possibly imagine how a situation would have turned out without them. This is exactly how my wife & I feel about Cliff, Kenny, Adeline, and the entire team at Willowmar.

What My Clients Say

Above and beyond. That is how I would classify Kenny’s customer service and knowledge of the market/home buying process. Since the day we first met, he was positive, confident and patient. He took the time to walk me through the entire process of home buying and gave me examples of the types of documentation we would need to review during the process. He also spent the time to understand my wants and needs, and did not force me to select or do anything that I was uncomfortable with. Even when things didn’t go as planned, he was always positive and future looking. In addition, he was always easy to get a hold of and his work ethic was far beyond any other agent I dealt with previously. He was always available during the late night hours and very early mornings; again exceeding my expectations. During our search, he provided me with several options for our search (while still considering my price range and housing desires). In addition, whenever I went to an open house, everyone I met were huge fans of Kenny. At the end of the day, his excellent customer service (including overall relationship skills) and knowledge of the industry helped me not only learn about the home buying process but also helped me nab my very first home. I wouldn’t dream of using anyone else!

What My Clients Say

Kenny is AMAZING! My husband and I had been searching for a house to buy on and off for the last 3 years, eventually giving up on finding a home or a Realtor® with whom we could connect. We ran into Kenny entirely by chance at an open house, and he immediately provided a reassuring balance between proactive and thorough, while giving us room to breathe and go at our most comfortable pace. He really took the time to get to know exactly what was important to us in our new home search. And even though we presented him with a unicorn laundry list of requirements, he patiently presented options that he’d scoped out each weekend, until we honed in further on what our home would look and feel like. He advised us through a number of offers, being mindful of not pushing us past our boundaries, but being realistic about our chances. He kept us constantly informed and supported, even at late hours. All the way through getting us across the finish line with keys in hand, Kenny was detail-oriented, professional, and on top of (if not ahead of) everything. We’re so grateful to have found our home and would recommend Kenny to anyone without a bit of hesitation!
