About Ian Kirk

Team Kirk ~ Our Client-First Philosophy

There are many qualities and skills that go into being an excellent real estate professional – integrity, in-depth community and market knowledge, marketing savvy, effective negotiation skills and a high-quality professional network, all of which are hallmarks of how we work.

That said, in our experience as a Redding Real Estate Professionals, we have also found that providing the very best service is essentially about putting our clients first. This means being accessible, being a good listener as well as a good communicator, and responding quickly to your needs.

We build tools that help you in your search to buy and to sell homes. In addition, we have  found that the latest technologies are enabling us to do everything I’ve always done, only much more quickly and efficiently. They’ve also helped us to extend the range of services we provide to our clients.

So when you decide that you’d like to buy or sell a home in the Redding areas, please contact me.

Jeanean Gendron and David Gendron

The Realtor and the Web Developer

My husband and I met at Apple Computer. We both formed our value system while at Apple. We loved working at Apple and being part of the concept that “We could change the world”. I have come to realize of late that we believed we could change the world and we did. Look how far we have come from the Apple IIe. WOW! Neat Stuff!

My husband and I continue to be passionate about life and the celebration of our work. We ran our own software company for 16 years, helping small work groups with performance improvement. It was very good work and we were always helping our clients to see measurable performance improvement. Guess what? We are applying all that great knowledge to our Real Estate Business and Team Kirk.

It is such a cosmic dance to be able to build our own systems and do for ourselves what we have been doing for others for so long. Look out baby, here we come. Absolutely outrageous service on every level conceivable is the goal. I can’t wait for each day and each new opportunity. We are having some kind of fun now! Stay Tuned! Oh and least we forget, we are both artists and love to integrate our photography with our work and play. Visit David’s Photo Art Website for a real treat and something profound.
