Ken Dara

Ken Dara is a global real estate advisor serving his luxury clientele throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and Marin County, where Ken lives with his family in Belvedere-Tiburon. Originally from the New York Tri-State area and having been primarily schooled in New England, Ken has assisted individuals and families with all aspects of their real estate transactions throughout his career. Known for his unwavering dedication to his craft, Ken treats his clients with care, discretion, and professionalism. From his earliest years, Ken was immersed early on in international real estate due to his mother’s flourishing real estate career in New Jersey. She worked extensively with luxury overseas buyers relocating to the US, and through her guidance, Ken gained invaluable experience.

Through the award-winning global network Engel & Völkers provides, Ken’s clients benefit from the vast knowledge and experience of its forward-thinking associates and marketing teams. Due to the evolution of the latest technologies, the increasingly transient nature of the San Francisco Bay Area’s residents, and as the world is getting smaller, “going international” has become a real possibility for many people. Whether his clients are looking to move into or out of Northern California, buy investment property in the US or abroad, or they simply want a change of lifestyle, Ken has the knowledge and wherewithal to assist his clients in the local Bay Area markets, and across the globe. Ken has represented luxury clients from all over the United States and internationally from Italy, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, the UK, and Hong Kong.

Ken has been working in the real estate industry in various areas since 1993. Prior to becoming a licensed real estate agent, he was involved in the industry traveling 35 weeks out of the year training real estate agents in productivity software. His experience was so extensive, he eventually opened and operated his own tech training and consulting company Real Tech. An excellent communicator, networker, and marketing strategist, Ken’s technical savvy and real estate knowledge are invaluable when doing business in the technology-driven real estate industry in Northern California.

Ken keeps a finger on the pulse of the industry as a member of a number of real estate boards. Most notably, he is a founding member of Realm Global, an organization dedicated to performers in the top half percent in real estate as well as sitting on their Advisory Board. He is a member of REV Network since 2018, and the Top Agent Network, which he’s worked with since 2015. He has won numerous awards at previous agencies including Team Leader of the year (2007), the Associated Realty of the America’s Special Service Award (2007), and Top Producer (2018, 2019, 2020, 2021).
