Kevin is a top-50 San Francisco real estate broker with Vanguard Properties and the leader of Team K.Ho (
www.team-kho.com). During his 14+ years at Vanguard, he has closed more than $425 million in residential sales across nearly every neighborhood of the city. His work combines legal precision, design insight, clear communication, and the kind of calm advocacy people want when the decisions get big.
Before real estate, Kevin practiced law and worked as a journalist. Those habits carried over—he reads disclosures like case files, translates complexity into plain English, and notices the small things that often become the big things. His background also runs through his family’s Chinese restaurant and later real-estate holdings, which gave him an early understanding of buildings, business, and the way people move through spaces.
Kevin has purchased two homes in San Francisco, including one he famously tracked down at a garage sale before renovating it into the polished Noe Valley home he lives in today. Clients appreciate that he has been on the other side of the table and knows exactly what the process feels like.
He spent many strong years working alongside Jonathan McNarry, and their partnership shaped much of his early real-estate identity. Today, Team K.Ho continues that legacy of diligence, design, and client care—with the added help of two very good dogs: Raffi, his late black Lab who was a beloved Guide Dogs for the Blind career-change graduate, and Radu, his current real-estate sidekick who believes every escrow is improved by snacks and compliments.
Kevin’s YouTube channel (
youtube.com/@kevinho, with more than 4,500 subscribers) features hundreds of home walk-throughs and candid commentary and has become a resource for buyers, sellers, and the real-estate curious. He also writes regular columns for the San Francisco Chronicle’s Sunday Real Estate section and appears on ABC-7 and KTVU-2 to discuss market trends.
He grew up in Iowa City, earned degrees from Washington University in St. Louis and the University of London’s SOAS, and received his law degree from UC Berkeley School of Law. He speaks Cantonese and keeps his law license active—just in case.
