Mike Kehrig is not the kind of agent who chases transactions. He is part of something older, something built over time. Working out of the Bay Area, Mike represents the second generation of a family business that his father started in 1978. Since 2007, Mike has worked alongside his father, Joe Kehrig, and brother, Steve Kehrig, continuing a tradition rooted in straightforward values and long-term relationships. In an industry that often moves fast and forgets faster, the Kehrig team has stayed the course.

A Business Passed Down Through Generations

The Kehrig Real Estate Team did not begin with Mike. It began with his father, who entered the industry nearly fifty years ago. That foundation shaped everything that came after. Mike grew up around the work, watching his father serve clients with honesty and accountability. When he joined the business in 2007, it was not a pivot or a career experiment. It was a natural continuation of what had already been established.

“What makes us different is continuity,” Mike explained. “We carry forward values that were established in 1978: honesty, accountability, and putting clients first, even when it means advising them not to move. That level of integrity is rare in today’s market, and it’s the reason our clients stay with us for life.”

Relationships Over Transactions

In an industry often driven by volume and speed, the Kehrig team takes a different approach. Mike believes that relationships tend to outperform transactions. It is a philosophy that runs counter to much of what the modern real estate market rewards, but one that has proven itself over time through repeat business and referrals.

“When clients work with us, they’re not getting a single agent. They’re getting decades of combined experience and a support system that treats their goals like our own,” he said. That support system is the family itself. There is no revolving door of assistants or outsourced communication. Clients work directly with the Kehrig team from the first conversation to the final signature.

Serving Clients Through High-Stakes Decisions

The clients who come to the Kehrig team are often navigating significant moments in their lives. Some are selling a family home they have owned for decades. Others are moving up, downsizing, or investing substantial capital. The stakes are real, and so is the pressure that comes with making the right decision.

Mike understands that the challenge is not always about the market itself. It is about trust. “Their biggest challenge isn’t just the market,” he said. “It’s knowing who they can truly trust when so much is on the line.”

The team addresses this by offering something that cannot be replicated by algorithms or lead generation platforms: experience, stability, and personal accountability. The ideal outcome is not simply a successful transaction. It is peace of mind, knowing that someone treated the process with genuine care and professionalism.

A Strong Year and Continued Recognition

In 2025, the Kehrig Real Estate Team closed 114 transactions totaling over $205 million in sales volume. It marked one of the strongest years in the team’s history and underscored the effectiveness of their approach. This was not growth driven by marketing spend or aggressive expansion. The majority of their business continues to come from repeat clients and referrals, which speaks to the trust they have earned over the years. To deliver the level of personalized, highly attentive service their clients expect, every member of the Kehrig Team brings deep expertise in Real Estate, local market insight, and thoughtful guidance tailored to each client’s goals. Alongside his father, Joe Kehrig, and his brother, Steve Kehrig, Realtors Stephanie Talyat, Kelsey Smith, Anna DuMond, along with Real Estate Assistant, DJ Pecho, form a cohesive team known for exceptional attention to detail and a seamless client experience.

The team remains consistently ranked among the premier real estate groups in the Bay Area and across California, with formal recognition from Real Trends. For Mike, these accolades reflect something more meaningful than numbers alone. “That’s the true measure of success in a trust-based profession,” he said.

Looking Ahead

The Kehrig Team is not chasing trends or reinventing their model. They are doing what they have always done: showing up, listening, and guiding clients through some of the most important financial decisions of their lives. In a market that often rewards flash over substance, their approach stands out because it remains grounded, intentional, and authentic.

Nearly fifty years after Mike’s father began his career, the work continues. The faces are familiar. The phone calls are returned. And the Kehrig Team is honored that so many past clients choose to work with them again.
