If All Real Estate Agents Are The Same, Why Are Our Results So Different?
It's Our People
EXCLUSIVE
OPPORTUNITIES
Kate McCaffrey Group buyers benefit from access to opportunities beyond the public market. Through our strong relationships with top local agents and our reputation as a trusted, high-performing team, our clients are often exposed to off-market homes, coming soon listings, and exclusive opportunities before they are widely available. In a competitive market like Alameda, this early access can make all the difference in securing the right home.
MARKET INTEL + CONNECTIONS
Because Kate McCaffrey Group consistently represents more buyers and sellers in Alameda than any other local agent or team, our clients gain access to market intelligence that few others can match. Through our extensive network, ongoing transaction activity, and deep understanding of local neighborhoods, we provide buyers with real-time insights into pricing trends, buyer demand, upcoming opportunities, and property-specific considerations. Combined with the expertise of our dedicated Buyer Team, this knowledge helps our clients identify opportunities, make informed decisions, and compete successfully in today's market.
EXPERIENCE +
REPUTATION
With over a decade as the #1 real estate team in Alameda, Kate McCaffrey Group has built a reputation that gives our buyers a meaningful edge. Listing agents know our team is professional, strategic, and highly likely to close—making our offers stand out in competitive situations. Backed by experience from hundreds of successful transactions, we craft compelling offers and guide our clients through negotiations with confidence and precision.
Access That Goes Beyond the MLS
The best opportunities aren’t always the ones you see online. Through our deep network and local reputation, we connect our buyers with homes that are not yet on the market, quietly available, or strategically positioned for early access. In many cases, this means less competition, more time to evaluate, and a stronger chance of securing the right home.
Clarity in a Complex Market
Buying a home in Alameda requires more than just reviewing recent sales—it requires understanding the story behind the data. We help our clients evaluate what is truly a comparable home, how to interpret pricing trends, and what factors—like location nuances, property history, or condition—should influence your decision. Our goal is to ensure you feel informed, confident, and fully equipped to make the right investment.

"honest, hardworking and straightforward"
As first time homebuyers in a difficult market we wanted to make sure we went with the right agent to help guide us through the process. We worked with Amy L in the Kate McCaffrey group who was a perfect fit. She was honest, hardworking and straightforward. She was well connected and helped us see homes quickly and filter through all the noise. Couldn’t recommend Amy and her group more!

"entire experience smooth and stress-free"
We had a great experience working with the Kate McCaffrey Group as they guided us through the home-buying process. We worked closely with Jeanne Lam, who was incredibly professional, responsive, and helpful every step of the way. She went above and beyond from beginning to end, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free. It’s no wonder the Kate McCaffrey Group is the #1 real estate team in Alameda! We can’t recommend them highly enough.

"Amy truly went above and beyond"
I cannot recommend our agent Amy Loughran and the whole team at Kate McCaffrey Group highly enough. As buyers in the notoriously tricky Alameda market, we found Amy’s deep local experience and sharp instincts to be invaluable. She helped us navigate the common tactic of ‘teaser’ pricing (listing low to drive bidding wars) by providing clear, accurate data on where market rates actually sat.
We ultimately purchased a Victorian home, and Amy was instrumental in helping us understand the special considerations and responsibilities that come with owning a historic resource. Her expertise in this area gave us a level of confidence we wouldn’t have had otherwise.
Once we were in escrow, Amy truly went above and beyond. Even through the holidays, she was incredibly responsive and never missed a beat. She provided us with excellent referrals for local contractors and was a wealth of knowledge regarding schools and neighborhood nuances. Even though we closed escrow just 2 days before New Year’s Day, Amy and the others on the team kept us informed and moved the process along as quickly as possible. If you want a dedicated, well-connected team that truly understands the unique character of Alameda homes, work with these folks!
