The greatest leaps are made when you step out of your comfort zone.
People who reach their goals against all odds inspire Kira. So, it is no surprise she is working on several goals all the time as a Realtor®, writer, athlete, and mom. Kira has been an East Bay resident for over twenty-five years, joining Winkler Real Estate Group in 2012. Since then, she has helped clients on both sides of the transaction; she is humbled by their feedback. They tell her she has an uncanny ability to keep everyone calm and reassured.
When representing sellers, her organizational skills make the process manageable and minimize stress. She hones in on her client’s budget and goals and then manages a team of professionals to enhance each property and maximize its potential. When representing buyers, she identifies home search priorities and protect their interests. She listens closely, and then shows them how to place a strong offer that will stand above the crowd in a competitive market. Both buyers and sellers appreciate her extensive research abilities and her willingness to persistently dig for information. Importantly, she helps clients navigate their personal relationships harmoniously during the transition.
Kira has strong people skills and a keen eye for detail gleaned from five years as an editor of The East Bay Monthly. Prior she was co-owner of Grand Times, a magazine for active retirees, and in that capacity interviewed and wrote cover stories on senior celebrities, including B.B. King, Dr. Ruth, Jack LaLanne, Walter Cronkite, and Rosa Parks. She has also aired numerous “Perspectives” essays on KQED radio. She is a Regents’ Scholar and graduated Phi Beta Kappa from UC Berkeley.
In addition to working as a Realtor, Kira is a writer, athlete (think sprint triathlons and swims in the Bay!) and community volunteer. When not busy with clients, keyboard, or sneakers, you can find her hiking with her husband, two sons and their dog.
Kira loves the working environment at Winkler Real Estate Group because it is like a family, in all the best ways.
