We’re Alain Pinel Realtors. In 1990, we were founded as a tiny startup. Today, we are the largest privately owned broker in Northern California, with over 30 offices in the Bay Area and network affiliations in over 50 countries. Our deep understanding of both the global luxury market and the local market makes us the Bay Area’s go-to resource for luxury real estate.
What is the Alain Pinel Experience?
In a word, it’s luxury. It’s what we provide to every one of our clients, regardless of price point. A level of service you won’t find anywhere else. It’s insider access, local expertise, and the willingness to always go the extra mile – all of which is 100% nonnegotiable.
We give our clients what they need, often before they know they need it. We’re counselors and confidants, concierges and city guides, tiebreakers and dream makers. We’re here to seamlessly connect buyers with sellers and deliver expert guidance and invaluable peace of mind to all.
In real estate, almost everything can be negotiated. When you’re with Alain Pinel, the Alain Pinel experience is guaranteed. And it’s an experience like no other.
There is no precise formula for determining the fair market value of a property. Value fluctuates depending on a range of factors, with the current residential real estate market, available financing and mortgage rates, and local, national, and global economies playing a significant role in the pricing of your home.
Your APR agent is a seasoned professional with extensive knowledge of our current market trends, access to the correct tools and data to accurately determine value, and experience in choosing the price that is most likely to bring a quick successful sale.
The APR Comparative Market Analysis is used as a starting point for pricing your home. The actual asking price will take other factors into account, including how quickly you need to sell your home, aspects unique to your local market, and past experience in selling similar properties.
APR’s award-winning Relocation division is a highly trained team dedicated solely to relocation: marketing your property to those seeking to move here, welcoming clients who are relocating to the area, or helping you find a home anywhere. Whether you are moving away from the Bay Area or are looking to make a new home here, the Alain Pinel experience delivers many services you won’t find anywhere else.
Our worldwide affiliations allow us to connect sellers with the most prestigious and reputable real estate brokers around the country and the world who can provide you with all the information you need about your destination. Our relationships with human resource departments of major corporations, including some of Silicon Valley’s largest employers, will bring qualified buyers right to your doorstep.
For future Bay Area residents, we’re happy to arrange a comprehensive tour of the best of the Bay Area to help find the right community for you and your family. As a company, we provide “white glove” concierge services to all buyers referred to our brokerage. We coordinate buyer tours using luxury limousines and our sales associates who are specially trained to deal with the specific needs of international clients, familiarizing you with different neighborhoods, schools, community amenities, and services including Social Security, banking, and the DMV.
