Outpost is a top-performing, boutique real estate firm that is the culmination of founders Radhi Ahern and Scott Kalmbach’s 15-year partnership and over $700+ million in sales in San Francisco and Marin.
Radhi and Scott began their partnership as developers remodeling homes and apartment buildings in San Francisco. Over the years they have parlayed their extensive design expertise to transform properties with a signature style that has set the bar for luxury property presentation. They collaborate with the Bay Area’s most reputable designers, architects, and developers and have represented some of the most design focused homes in the market. Radhi and Scott created Outpost so they could bring an independent and innovative brokerage to the market that is different from the typical boilerplate real estate practices. They are leading a team of marketing and design support staff and associate agents who share the same purpose to deliver a truly unique real estate experience. From our signage, to the Outpost Instagram posts, from our property transformations to our strategic negotiations, we are delivering incredible results for our clients. Radhi and Scott are bringing a modern perspective to an age-old industry as they chart their client’s path forward, wherever that road may lead.

We have had bought and sold multiple homes with Radhi Ahern at Outpost, and each time the results were fantastic. In selling our most recent home, Radhi and her team proposed and managed design, staging, and marketing to present our home in its best light. We were thrilled with the results! We were in contract within a day at terms we were very happy with. Radhi also helped us find our current home — which ideally fits our changing needs — before it went to market. Through her off-market network, she alerted us to the house that was being readied for sale and we were able to purchase it before it hit MLS. We highly recommend Outpost without hesitat...

Scott & Radhi and their team have been excellent to work with. They have represented us on two transactions and their professionalism, follow through and savvy helped us make two great deals. Our most recent home purchase search was challenging and filled with specific needs and demands. it took months and a lot of ground work, but they stuck with us and we ended up in a great place. Highly recommended!

We can’t recommend this amazing team more. They saved us on more than one occasion! We had a tricky sell in SF and had a realtor who kept lowering the price and still without any interest. Within a week to switch to Outpost, we had offers above our initial asking price. They tackled this very tricky sale so smoothly and we felt at ease with them taking over. A few years later we sold a place in Mill Valley and they were once again fantastic! When we moved to SoCal, we were having issues with buying a home and had questions. Even though we had a realtor down there, we once again turned to our trusted sources at Outpost to ask for advice. They are pro...

My husband and I just used Radhi, Scott, and their amazing team to sell our home just north of San Francisco. The results they achieved in preparing our home for viewing were incredible (and done in a very short amount of time). Friends, neighbors, and interested buyers raved about the home’s transformation! Not only did they sell our home immediately, and for well above asking, they were a pleasure to work with. We knew we were in the very best hands and would recommend them to anyone!
— Tarja P.
Scott and Radhi are at the top of their game. I have both bought and sold properties with this duo and both transactions were both fun and smooth. Scott’s impeccable taste and eye are unparalleled and Radhi’s incredible business sense makes them the perfect combination. I ended up with my dream house in Marin and had enough $$$$ because of their ability to get me the best possible price for my sale in SF.

We have worked with Outpost on several transactions - both as buyers and as sellers, and we couldn’t be more satisfied! For our most recent sale, in Belvedere, Radhi and Scott again went above and beyond to ensure we got the best price for our home. They thoroughly evaluated the market, made recommendations on easy upgrades to make the property more appealing to today’s buyers and helped manage the entire process for us. Their expertise, attention to detail, and consistent follow-through helped us sell our home quickly and for a price, we were thrilled with! You are in the best of hands with Radhi and Scott!

Scott was our agent when we purchased our current home, couldn't have been happier with him. He's genuine and kind and was always available to us. He dedicated an entire weekend to our search and got us the house we liked at a fair price, the whole process was smooth, efficient and as enjoyable as house hunting can possibly be. Radhi spearheaded the search for our latest home and we managed to get a house in a great location in Mill Valley, something we weren't confident would happen! Radhi is smart and doesn't mess around. She is now representing in the sale of our current home and we are very confident that she will help us quickly maximize our re...

Radhi and Scott are professional diligent and savvy negotiators. They also understand the market and know what it takes to get the deal done. After having a difficult time selling our home, we hired them and got our house sold before it even hit the open market at a price over our asking price. I would recommend them to anyone who is serious about selling their home.
— Houman C.
With incredible attention to detail and a warm and friendly demeanor, working with Radhi and Scott on the sale of our Mill Valley home was a well thought-out and managed processed. Radhi and Scott are an amazing team, with a fabulous dynamic that made our experience with them terrific. They thoughtfully managed every aspect of our sale, from guiding our pre-marketing improvements and marketing to the sales process and closing. These guys are A+!
— Peter S.
Scott and Radhi are that rare combination of in-service professionals of incredible compassion and unmatched competence, and I would strongly recommend them to anybody considering buying or selling a home. They helped us sell our last home and patiently supported us as we searched, and ultimately found and purchased our new home, a journey of almost two years. No, they did not pay us to write this! They are capable, kind, and great partners in what can be an emotional decision.

I am a real estate investor/developer and have worked with Radhi and Scott on the purchase and sale of several properties in San Francisco and Marin over the last 10 years. One of the most important attributes I am looking for in an Agent is integrity and these two possess the utmost integrity. I truly know they have my best interest in mind vs. just a commission. Outpost is extremely resourceful, whether it concerns remodeling ideas, an innovative marketing concept, or providing access to products not on the MLS. Finally, their deep real estate experience has served me quite well when negotiating the best price. I highly recommend Radhi & Scott to ...

Scott Kalmbach and Radhi Ahern are highly skilled Real Estate agents. They have been my agents for my San Francisco property, my Muir Beach property, and my Nicasio property. As an architect, I look for properties that have a high level of development potential. As a result, these properties can be very complicated. Scott and Radhi understood exactly what I was looking for in every property, and they handled all the details, both small and large, with efficiency, competency, and an excellent attitude, no matter how complicated the process became. I look forward to working with Outpost on future real estate transactions, as they have consistently gai...

We recently worked with Outpost Real Estate, specifically Scott and Radhi, but more broadly, the entire extended Outpost Team. Together they did an amazing job getting our house ready to sell in the super competitive Mill Valley market.
Why did we love these guys so much?
First, they have impeccable style and taste, so when it comes to prepping and staging your home for sale, you know it’s going to look so good you may have second thoughts about selling it. (Kidding. Not kidding.)
Second, as a duo Scott and Radhi perfectly complement each other proving two agents are indeed better than one. (Especially when they’re backed up by a great team.)

Pleasure working with Outpost, Alice, Radhi and Scott. They did a great job staging, marketing and ultimately selling my property at 1110 Green street in San Francisco, the transaction went incredibly smoothly from start to finish.
— Adam C.
We had a fantastic experience selling our home in Mill Valley with the Outpost Team. Outpost managed the entire process, the staging and photography was beautiful, the house sold off-market, over asking and closed in 24-hours! Radhi, Scott, Alice and their crew are the dream team!!!
— Amelia H.
Radhi and Scott have been true partners in every sense of the word throughout our working relationship. Outpost has been instrumental in assisting our development company with every aspect of the process, from asset acquisition to marketing and sales. They have a knack for finding hidden gems before anyone else and they help us with floor plan layouts and design finishes that are on trend to ensure every project has the best chance for success. I can’t imagine doing a project without their support and keen sense of the market. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for real estate in Marin, whether it's a first-time home or a luxury estate.
— Tony D.
Radhi and Scott helped us find the perfect first home in Novato. Their advice in reviewing disclosures, determining what items we should consider fixing right away, and providing us with a long-term vision for the property was invaluable. Our offer was accepted in a highly competitive bidding process, with five other offers to compete with. Thank you to the entire team at Outpost Real Estate. We are beyond grateful for their support.
— Carlos G.
Though we have bought and sold other properties this was our first experience with what perhaps could be best described as a luxury, boutique, unique property even for San Francisco. Scott represented us and all of the agents and team at Outpost were so pleasant and helpful throughout a complex buying process. We had a lot of questions about the particulars of the property itself as well as complex matters such as easements, prior history. Scott, Radhi and Alice made the process smooth and pleasant. We highly recommend Outpost Real Estate!
— Kim and Phil C.
I was referred to Radhi & Scott by my commercial real estate broker who used them to sell his home in Marin. Outpost represented me in the purchase of my new house as well as selling my existing one. I have so much faith in the outpost team that I could be in Africa and be totally confident that they will take care of every detail with my best interests in mind!
— Michael L.
These people are a force of nature and true professionals in a cutthroat industry. From start to finish, they understand the market, take the time to carefully assess opportunities, strategically implement a plan, and demand detailed follow-through. They are a pleasure to work with, always listening carefully and understanding clients' unique needs. I cannot recommend them highly enough and would urge anyone contemplating a sale to hand the reigns over to this team.
— Ally S.
Radhi and team are awesome. They have deep knowledge of SF and Marin real estate. They also really take the time to get to know you and understand your wants/needs. We love working with them. You will also.

Radhi and Scott (OUTPOST) are truly a professional team and more than just real estate agents. They provide solid marketing analysis, as well and real estate and negotiation expertise. We always felt that we were in good hands and that we had an advantage with their San Fran Francisco and Marin team approach. Radhi and Scott were personally involved at each step of the process, which proved to be invaluable at time of closing.
There are certainly many talented and experienced real estate agents in our area, but we felt that our property needed the specialization, personal commitment, state of the art marketing tools, and excellent communication ski...
