Cynthia Cummins

Founder and Realtor®

Get to Know Me

Home is our primary sanctuary. It’s also our main path to creating wealth. Those twin principles guide my real estate practice as founder and owner of Kindred SF Homes. I bring vast knowledge, skill, and responsiveness to my work as counselor, economist, and strategist, honed over three decades of joyful service to homeowners in San Francisco and the Bay Area.
 
I’m a top-tier Realtor® who obtains top results for clients, but what sets me apart is a calm, focused demeanor that makes the process smooth and rewarding. I educate and carefully guide my sellers and buyers so they can make smart, intentional decisions in the midst of what can be the most daunting transaction of a lifetime.
 
As a dependable “25/8” ally for my clients, most of my business comes directly from personal referrals, and I happily represent multiple generations of families, but new clients are always warmly welcome. I work throughout San Francisco and across a wide breadth of price ranges, representing sales ranging from “starter” condos to luxury estates to income-generating properties.
 
Kindred SF Homes and my work are always first on my list. Yet when I’m not diligently serving clients, you’ll find me curating my real estate blog and YouTube channel, working on my latest novel, volunteering at the YMCA, or leading writing and mindfulness workshops in settings that vary from businesses to Zen centers to private homes.

What My Clients Say

Cynthia was our realtor 8 years ago when we bought our first home and we naturally reached out to her again when we sold it this year. We cannot recommend Cynthia enough (and have in fact recommended her to so many of our friends, who have also loved working with her). Cynthia is far more than a realtor: She got the job done, and beautifully so, but she also rapidly became a trusted confidante, a therap...

What My Clients Say

I had amazing experience with Cynthia and Lisa selling my house in Golden Gate Heights this year. Cynthia was recommended by my friends whom she helped with their house in Sunset. From the beginning to the end working with Cynthia and Lisa was a pleasure. They helped forming a strategy, recommended the staging company, helped select the right timing to go live. They have approached the situation very cre...

— Dimitriy

What My Clients Say

We had such a wonderful experience with our team at Kindred SF Homes! They represented us as sellers, and from our first meeting we trusted them to make the best decisions. They explained every step of the process to us. And once we placed things in their hands, they handled every detail efficiently and professionally. They helped us through both the emotional and practical aspects of selling. We were so...

— Laurel & Grant

What My Clients Say

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Cynthia Cummins and Lisa Riddle of Kindred SF Homes on our first home purchase. We were referred to Cynthia through a trusted friend, who gushed and raved about her experience with Cynthia. I must say that I echo the sentiment, and wholeheartedly recommend Cynthia to anyone looking for a realtor in San Francisco. Cynthia and Lisa are extremely knowledgea...

— Daphne and Kenneth

What My Clients Say

After several major disappointments in a row from a real estate team in SF (from a top firm), we needed to find an alternative. We placed a few calls and were pleasantly impressed to discover that Cynthia answered her phone and gave really insightful answers to our questions. She and her team continued to operate at the highest levels throughout our engagement. We were pleased with the outcome especial...

— Deirdre and Gil

What My Clients Say

My wife and I noticed that a condominium had become available in a building that had sentimental value to us. Our real estate agent showed us the apartment and it was just what we wanted, but we realized the market was very hot at the time and that a bidding contest was probable. Our agent was very good, but was busy on several things. Cynthia had shown the apartment too, I believe, and agreed to he...

— Susan and Joe

What My Clients Say

Cynthia helped my husband and I buy our first home in 2018, and she just recently helped us buy a larger place when we outgrew our condo (which she is now going to help us sell, too). We love working with her and her team. The thing that really makes Cynthia different from other realtors we've encountered is she has never made us feel any pressure to buy a house quickly--in both of our searches, she was ...

— Katie and Nick

What My Clients Say

We are crazy busy professionals with young children and very little time. We loved that Cynthia and her team of professionals made the renovation, staging, and selling so smooth.

— Kyle & Victor

What My Clients Say

This was our second time using Cynthia. I would not use anyone else, ever. She is not your typical Realtor® type. She has a very calm demeanor, listens, advises cautiously, and shows empathy to the wild emotions that come with buying or selling a home. She is over the top in doing her Realtor® duties- thorough, responding quickly to emails, texts or calls. She has a strategy and plan in place. She also h...

— Janet

What My Clients Say

One of the best in the business and kindest! …I entirely depended on Cynthia for her knowledge and guidance. I tried Redfin initially and was quickly discouraged as they may be able to take you on tours, but there’s no local expertise for how the market really works or if they can guide you to a winning bid…I found my dream home. Cynthia helped me write the winning offer and I couldn’t be happier. Not on...

— Wei

What My Clients Say

Great transaction with Cynthia; she was very communicative and responsive and worked hard to make the deal work – all parties were happy – hope to work with her again real soon – thanks again Cynthia!

— Matt

What My Clients Say

We consider Cynthia a close friend now…and feel totally blessed to have worked with her…I cannot emphasize enough how much the relationship piece matters here and how necessary it is to have someone representing you who is not going to sugarcoat everything. Cynthia is honest, has incredible integrity, and has a keen eye for real estate in the city.

— S. & G.

What My Clients Say

Cynthia was extremely knowledgeable, thoughtful, and supportive during our house hunt…she was patient, and helped us be patient to find the right home for us. From the beginning, Cynthia had our best interest at heart. We moved into our dream home in Glen Park 2 weeks ago, and could not be happier.

— L. & P.

What My Clients Say

Cynthia, your patience, understanding and sage advice got us through the whole challenging process with success in a rough market. You and Mara make a terrific team and we are grateful for your warmth, energy and skill!

— Genny

What My Clients Say

What sets Cynthia apart is her blend of razor sharp business skills coupled with a warm and caring heart. I’ve been on both sides of a transaction with Cynthia as my agent (as both buyer and seller) and she brings her best to both. It’s often one’s biggest financial asset, but it is also your home, and Cynthia understands and respects that in every way.

— Sarah & David

What My Clients Say

Cynthia is uniquely qualified for a job that not only takes intelligence and talent but an understanding of the human brain and heart.

— Matana

What My Clients Say

When he contacted her, Cynthia remembered my father 20 years after their last meeting! We appreciated Cynthia’s knowledge and efficiency as well as her kindness as she guided us through inspections, staging and the sale of our home. Thanks to her professionalism and years of experience, we were able to close on the sale despite the limitations of SIP. Thanks, Cynthia!

— Laura S.

What My Clients Say

Cynthia has been great and helped us navigate our path as first-time homebuyers. She was patient as we explored our preferences and provided fair/balanced opinions throughout the process. She also has longstanding relationships within the SF broker community that she was able to leverage to get us extra insights in this competitive environment. We are now happy homeowners – thanks, Cynthia!

— Crystal & Robert

What My Clients Say

Cynthia was authentic and real from the get-go. She always did what she said she would do and always had our back. From the first meeting to the closing she provided professionalism and care – two attributes that are hard to find in any professional relationship.

— Stephanie & Michael

What My Clients Say

Cynthia is as strong as they get when it comes to negotiating. In every single transaction, she has managed to finesse our way into an outstanding deal. I would never work with another Realtor® in this city.

— Kristen

What My Clients Say

We were so thrilled to work with Cynthia! She was recommended to us from a friend who also used her with great success. Cynthia was with us every step of the way and she made the entire process smooth and professional. Her knowledge of the San Francisco housing market is unmatched. On so many of our tours, the other agents would know Cynthia and speak of her warmly. She is a staple in the real estate com...

— Collin

What My Clients Say

From the time (Cynthia and I) started the process of preparing my property to closing it was nothing less than professional and efficient. I took a 14-day cruise in the interim and we closed three days after I got off the ship. My expectations were exceeded and I would never use any other Realtor® besides Cynthia!
