Description
When you work with Malin Kansal, the first thing you will notice is his Zen-like calmness, respectfulness, and ability to connect with people from all walks of life. He manages to maintain an inner calm, even in the depths of the most difficult discussions or heated negotiations.
The second thing you’ll see is how well he works together with others. His passion for building effective teams started back in business school and is evident in his approach to real estate. Malin has expanded his ability to serve his clients by surrounding himself with a growing team of agents and service providers that work together seamlessly.
Malin grew up in Burlingame, living and breathing real estate from a young age. While still in high school, he was already helping manage family-owned investment properties on the Peninsula, working with tenants, contractors, and real estate agents. He spent many weekends visiting open houses and exploring new housing developments around the Bay Area in search of opportunities. Malin developed a keen eye for how properties were presented and sold, and the ability to recognize what made a difference. He brought his analytical skills to the family’s investment portfolio, applying the data and trends he observed to the decision-making process.
A bachelor’s degree in Legal Studies at UC Berkeley was followed by an MBA at San Francisco State University, where Malin rediscovered his passion for leading effective teams and learning to leverage the skills of each member. He applied that skill first to the retail fashion industry in San Francisco, working at the Corporate Headquarters for Williams Sonoma, Banana Republic, and Bebe.
The creative aspects of retail fashion were energizing and Malin dove deep into sales strategy. The ability to craft effective strategies in the face of shifting trends and changing markets has translated well to the real estate industry. Malin’s clients are the beneficiaries of a strategic marketing approach that is responsive to the economic environment and presents each home in its best light.
Malin and his wife moved from San Francisco back home to Burlingame when their daughter was born and have been very engaged in the community ever since. Serving as a volunteer in various positions on the Burlingame Community Education Foundation, the Burlingame Neighborhood Network, Burlingame Hills Association, and the local Parent Teacher Association has made Malin appreciate the community he feels so connected to even more. He loves the natural beauty of the Bay Area, the hills and the ocean views, and loves the spirit of innovation that pervades the region.
Having been involved in Real Estate for 25 plus years and being among America's Top 100 Agents, Malin's wide range of transactions span from studios to estate homes to large commercial acquisitions. Having a top notch team gives Malin the unique ability to offer his clients a full service approach attending to all their needs. Always on the lookout for a good opportunity, Malin is the source for current real estate market data and trends.
In addition to the mindfulness practice and focus on spirituality that help him maintain his calm outlook on life, Malin is an enthusiastic Bay Area sports fan. He loves to play tennis and jumps at the chance to travel when he can.
