Kurt Congdon has represented us in 2 home purchases and 2 home sales. He is smart, knows the local market, and works hard to protect your interests and maximize your profit. We recommend Kurt to anyone in Nevada County who needs a real estate professional who earns their commission by working for you.
We worked with Kurt and team to sell one property in Nevada County and buy another 15 years later! His local knowledge, experience and dealings with other agents over time worked in our favor. We also got along well and managed a bit of humor along the way. Happy to recommend Kurt and team.
Years ago, when my family was contemplating a move back to California, Kurt was helpful in sending, by mail!, all kinds of information on Nevada County. We made the decision to make Grass Valley our home and Kurt found the nicest property for us. We moved here in 1999 and are still in the same spot, 26 years later. Kurt is intelligent, kind and extremely knowledgeable in all things regarding real estate. If you choose Kurt to buy or sell a property, he'll go the extra mile to make things happen. I 100% recommend Kurt Congdon!
Kurts an outstanding realtor. He guided us through every aspect of the process, including multiple area home tours. Easily recommended. Big thanks, Kurt!
Kurt is wonderful to work with, is caring and thorough and does not abandon you once the deal is closed. We bought our house with him years ago, and he always keeps in touch, answers any questions and gives us excellent service whether or not we are actively looking or selling. I highly recommend him.
My wife and I were picky and poor buyers. Probably not a typical realtors dream client! Multiple trusted friends recommended Kurt, in part because of his superb feel for the market, so we asked him to be our agent. He showed us a number of houses and helped us make a few offers, but we ended up outbid and couldnt compete. Each time he was able to get a great feel from the other side for what it would take for our offer to be accepted, but we just didnt have enough money to get the kind of house we wanted. We never felt any pressure from him along the way. Then the pandemic hit, the market went crazy, and we sat on the sidelines for three years. Finally, a fixer-upper appeared that seemed like a possibility, and we made an offer. For many reasons, this particular house was an extremely complex deal to close. Kurt navigated each hurdle with tremendous understanding and diplomacy, and he got the deal done! He is a insightful, courteous, and a skilled negotiator, and we felt at peace relying on his guidance throughout. Jason, who works with him, was ultra responsive, very knowledgeable, and on top of every detail. They were both never too busy to give us the full explanation each step along the way. We highly recommend the Kurt Congdon Group!
We had a great experience with Kurt. He went above and beyond in helping us to find our dream home, before it went on the market. He gave great advice and navigated the offer and closing very quickly while keeping us in the loop and feeling good about the process.
Kurt and his staff were knowledgeable and professional from day one through beyond the close of escrow. His awareness of the local market and advice regarding trends was spot on and I'm confident his reputation in the community also facilitated the steady viewing and quick sale of our home. We received regular updates of progress as documents were filed, inspections scheduled, etc. and felt the whole process was well managed throughout. I highly recommend Kurt and his associates to anyone looking to but or sell property in the area. He also represented us exceptionally in the purchase of our new home but the review only allows me to select one option.
Kurt was a true advocate through all the ups and downs of this very competitive market landscape. He helped us in locating lakefront homes in the desired Lake of the Pines lake community, structured a competitive offer and most importantly was patient and empathetic through the entire process. After we closed, he made sure the sellers agent followed through on all of the required improvements. A true professional and an incredible realtor!
We used Kurt to purchase our home in Lake Wildwood, when it was off market. He did a great job in helping us encourage the owner to sell it. Then years later we used Kurt again to sell the house. He has great experience in the foothills market and has a responsive staff that handles the tedious work of inspections, cleaning, etc. I'd highly recommend Kurt.
Kurt & his colleague Jason represented me in the sale of my home, a log cabin on 10 acres in Nevada City. Not only were they both wonderful and fun to work with, but I sold my home for over asking. On a personal and professional level, both Kurt and Jason were available, attentive and provided thorough guidance throughout the sale. As a first time seller, Kurt walked me through the process at his office, showing me comps, explaining every detail, and answering my questions with kindness. Neither were pushy and I felt they were honest and operated with the utmost integrity. I would highly recommend using Kurt Congden!
Kurt is an excellent realtor. He listened well to what we were looking for and was super fast at responding to the available houses. As a result of his work, we were able to get an incredible deal on the house we loved. He helped us be the first ones in line and negotiate a great deal. Thanks Kurt!
We signed on with Kurt to sell our Alta Sierra home in late 2020. Kurt was great to work with! He was very generous with his time and presented us with a well thought out and thoroughly researched marketing and pricing plan which really paid off. Within one day we had an offer for over asking! Kurt knows the area really well and is an asset whether buying or selling. Were very grateful for his help and highly recommend him.
Excellent agent for both the sale of our home and the purchasing of our new home. Very upfront and detailed on comps... His team was also pleasure to work with.
Kurts abilities and knowledge were the key reason we bought our current home. He has all the qualities I look for in a realtor. From the initial home tours, to the final signature, Kurt made the entire process as easy as was possible. A superior professional, and the consummate real estate agent. Rave reviews.
I have sold two houses with Kurt, one a rental and another my personal residence and couldn't have been more pleased with the results, his professionalism, his easy manner to work with and responsiveness to questions and concerns. He is an excellent realtor and I have recommended him to friends.
Kurt made the home selling process very easy. He helped me set a good price according to the market, and I had 3 offers in 3 days, all over asking price. The sale went very smoothly, with minimum hassle. Kurt has also developed a good team so that every detail from marketing to signage to home repairs was taken care of.
Kurt s expertise and commitment are unparalleled. Impressed by his constant communication and updates, we always felt informed. Selling can be scary, and he truly makes the experience fly with ease!
Kurt rolled up his shirtsleeves and helped us solve some problems that stood in the way of our purchase of a home. Hes knowledgeable, courteous, professional and has great integrity. We found his office and staff to be more than cooperative and helpful. We wouldnt hesitate to employ or recommend him.
Kurt was awesome! He listened very carefully to our wants and needs, and he found us the perfect place. He is extremely knowledgeable about the area and what is on the market. In addition, he is very quick to respond to calls, texts, and emails. Kurt was always available to answer questions and help us through every step of the process. We highly recommend him for all your real estate needs.
My wife and I experienced a sale which, at best, can be described as a difficult escrow. Our sale would not have been possible without the assistance of our agent, Kurt Congdon, and the entire Coldwell Banker team. Kurt and the buyer s agent jointly assumed the costs that we incurred when the buyer was unable to close escrow on the date stipulated in the contract. She requested a postponement, which added costs to us beyond the original contract. These costs should have been the buyer s responsibility. Kurt and the buyer s agent, in order fro conclude the sale, agreed to split the cost. Also, Jason Moore, Kurt s office manager, was extremely helpful in explaining to the buyer s agent the provisos of the contract as to what was included in the sale and what was not. We are extremely pleased with Kurt and Coldwell Banker Realty. They were knowledgeable, ethical, and patient. It s no wonder that Kurt is rated the top seller in the Nevada County area.
Kurt sold my home in Nevada City in a timely manner. He and his team were great to work with, which as an out of state seller, was of utmost importance to me. Id highly recommend Kurt and his team!
We used Kurt for the recent sale of our 18 acre property located in Nevada County.His no hastle and professional approach made for a very pleasant experience.He took care of everything and saw it through till the end, even helping out with a few details after it had closed.We will most definetly recomend his services to friends and clients alike.Douglas Sowell
I love Kurt! He found me the perfect house, in the perfect location, at the perfect price. He knew exactly what I was looking for and when the house I bought got listed we pounced on getting the offer made that day. He and Jason were wonderful to work with. I got my paperwork done electronically, so I didnt waste time missing work during the process and I received a CD with a copy of all of the paperwork after we closed.These guys are the best.
Kurt and his staff got the job done and were a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend him. He knows the market well and listens to his clients. My house sold quickly and for a fair price. The negotiations were handled well and I was kept informed through it all.
After several months on the market with another agent and no activity at all, we listed with Kurt and sold our home quickly. Kurt knows the Nevada county market really well. He has a great network and will get your house sold!
Kurts local knowledge of the real estate market combined with his friendly and professional service he and his assistant Jason provide make for a winning team! My house sold for full asking in a short period of time. I highly recommend Kurt Congdon.
When you choose Kurt to sell your house, be prepared to move. Our house in Alta Sierra was on the market about a week. We had a contingency offer on a house in Eureka that we wanted to buy, which sometimes can be tricky. He listened to us. We feel we got a good price for our house.Thanks to Kurts representation the timely sale of our house, and the purchase of our new home went smoothly. He works for his clients. He has a team that supports him. We recommend Kurt for all your Real Estate needs. Doug & JoAnne Freie
Kurt was GREAT to work with selling my Moms house. He is extremely knowledgeable and has real expertise with our local market. He was always available to answer any questions we might have had. He even came by to help with small paperwork issues that my Mom didnt understand. He replied to e-mails, text messages and phone calls right away. A real pleasure to work with!
Kurt is a true professional working with honesty and integrity. He is a great communicator and really cares about what is important to his clients. If he was unavailable at any time during the process he made sure we were in good hands and that his team was abreast of our interests/needs. I would highly recommend Kurt to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate (especially) within Nevada County.
Kurt and his team did an excellent job selling our property. His extensive knowledge of the Nevada County market (and particularly the neighborhood where our home was located) was very helpful and yielded good results. Also, his marketing efforts increased the number of qualified potential buyers from all over Northern California. Overall, it was a very positive experience. Call Kurt.
We were extremely pleased and satisfied with the service we received from Kurt Congdon and his staff. His expertise, client-focussed attentiveness, and market knowledge surpassed our expectations.We highly recommend Kurt Congdon to anyone planning to sell or purchase real estate in Nevada County.
My experience with Kurt goes back 12 year to when he helped us find our first home in the Grass Valley area. His local knowledge was outstanding, and helped us find the perfect home for us, which we are still living in.And most important to us, is Kurts attention to detail. He treated the purchase as if it was his own, and brought up points and issues that needed attention. His supervision made everything seem simple, and we were never left wondering or worrying, Kurt managed all the ins and outs of the purchase.Since then I have worked with Kurt on the purchase of land adjacent to my home, as well as the sale of a home I renovated. Kurts staff has also proven to be on top of any issues quickly.I would highly recommend Kurt!
My partner and I enjoyed working with Kurt. He really knows the area and the market. Jason, who works with Kurt, was a big bonus to the whole process. We ended up with a house that we love at a price we were super happy with.
I was completely satisfied with our choice of Kurt for our real estate agent in the Nevada County area. We came to him with little knowledge of this local market and his considerable years of experience, his professionalism, and his comprehensive knowledge of the area helped us to find the home of our dreams. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
Kurts expert knowledge of the Grass Valley/Nevada City real estate market proved invaluable. We would definitely recommend him regarding all who wish to buy/sell properties in the area.
Kurt is very professional and took such good care of us both in listing our home and helping me find our new home. He always kept me advised in the different stages of the selling/buying procedures. I would not hesitate to refer someone to him.
Kurt has handled 3 sales for us in the past 14 years. We love working with Kurt. He is a wonderful man with a caring heart. He has been in the business for a long time and handles the clients with great care. He has good intuition of the industry and has lots of integrity and honor. We recommend him highly and strongly.

We have experienced numerous real estate transactions in both the Bay Area and Nevada County and Kurt is one of the best realtors we have ever worked with. He has a tremendous grasp of the market and possesses that intuitive feeling as to what a house is really worth and how well it will sell. Kurt has that perfect balance of knowledge, drive and integrity that will get the job done for you. We wouldn t hesitate to recommend Kurt to any person who is looking to buy or sell a home. Stephanie Hasbrook and Roger Fetter
I have known Kurt for approximately 14 years and have purchased four homes and sold three through Kurt. He is the best. He is extremely thorough in his business dealings and you never need worry that you are getting the best deal possible.either in the sale or the purchase of a home. Prior to coming to Grass Valley I have lived in numerous Cities across the U.S totaling some 20 homes in my life. I would rate Kurt at the top of those Real Estate folks that I have dealt with.
Kurt and his associates were very accommodating, responsive, professional, thorough, and knowledgeable for us as we began and ended our search for the right home for us. We trusted their guidance and advice because we knew they would respect and keep in mind our desires and limitations. Especially appreciated was Kurt and his associates search for locations, size, price, and style of house that we needed and wanted. They would go through the homes for us, as they could, and describe what they saw and knew before we made the choice to see a property. Filtering available homes helped since we have very busy schedules. Once we found a home we wanted to make an offer on, Kurt and his associate advised us carefully and thoughtfully on our offer. We have the perfect home for us. We highly recommend Kurt Congdon as a real estate professional.
New to my current area in 2000, per recommendation, my real estate agent was Kurt. He took a great deal of time with me showing real interest with my housing concerns. He knew this area and the available houses quite thoroughly. He is a definite professional in his dealing with clients, and he has a great sense of humor lightening the mood in what can sometimes be a trying event for the client. He made the process of locating a home quite enjoyable for me, and I had not a doubt that all the Ts were crossed and Is dotted in all the necessary paperwork. Kurt is friendly, honest, and totally capable in his profession and left me confident that he really enjoys what he does. If I sell my home I will most definitely, and without hesitation, call on Kurt Congdon once again to be my agent in the process. Highest, 5-Star, recommendation for this true professional!
We listed our home with Kurt during the housing bust, as we needed to move into town and downsize.We had one failed escrow, the underwriter failed to fund the buyers loan. Kurt was with us throughout the whole process. We listed again following his advice. There were several bumps along the way and we were skillfully guided through the maze.After we were firmly in escrow we made an offer on a home in the area we desired. Here, Kurts expertise shined as our closing was delayed, but we were able to occupy the premises with great terms until the seller was able to clear the problems. The combination of knowledge, skill and compassion Kurt and his team provided was wonderful.
Kurt has an intimate knowledge of the real estate in Nevada County, and the communication skills to customize every transaction to the clients needs. Kurt is a consummate professional, and simply a nice guy.
Kurt is the best ! Always responsive and thoughtful to his clients needs. We purchased out land and home from the Midwest and were very comfortable having Kurt guide us to the market in Nevada County.
Kurt got me 60,000 over list price on the sale of my home. By far the most professional and skilled realtor in Nevada county. He has an amazing support group. Particularly Jason who is also a local expert who helps with the process once it goes to title.
Kurt was recommended to us through a mutual friend. Our first home we listed with him was sold with-in 24 hours. To say the least we were really impressed. Kurt is very knowledgeable about current market trends and is happy to share his information with you. He and his team are very professional, prompt and fun to work with, they walk you though every step of the buying or selling process. We purchased and sold 3 different properties with Kurt over the years and would highly recommend him for any real-estate transactions.
Kurt was our real estate agent 13 years ago when we relocated to Nevada County. He is professional and has a extensive knowledge of the area and found us a home in the area we were interested in. In 2010 we were considering selling our home, Kurt put together an extensive market analysis and explained our options. Although we did not go forward with selling and buying a home, he remains in touch with us, when the time is right, we look forward to working with Kurt and his team.
Kurt has helped me buy three homes over the past 15 years, each time working with him was a great experience. He is very knowledgeable with the market and keeps his clients informed I highly recommend him for your Real Estate needs.Don Nunnink
Kurt Condon is among the top 1% of realtors in our community, and he was extremely helpful in selling our home two years ago. I know of no one who is more reputable or productive.Gary H. Quehl
