About Favor Kirkland

Favorite job before real estate?

When asked about my favorite job before entering real estate, I realized I’ve been connected to the industry for as long as I can remember. As a kid, I would ride along with my grandmother, a real estate broker,  during her showings and open houses. I’d jot down notes and scribble in her rolodex—now known as a CRM—during my summer visits to Southern California. Before diving into the real estate world, I worked at a local architectural software company for a few years after college. The energy and talent of  the company, my colleagues and team members made it an exciting experience and a fantastic launching pad for my career.

What do you think about when you think about home?

 I feel incredibly fortunate to have grown up in one of the most beautiful places in the world: Marin County! Images of Mt. Tam and wandering through the redwoods in my hometown of Mill Valley come to mind, where I shared countless unforgettable moments with friends and family. This evokes a strong sense of safety, nostalgia, and comfort. To me, home isn’t just the house you live in; it’s the memories you create there.

What is your weirdest quirk?

Weirdly remembering everyone’s phone numbers from childhood. 

Best place you have ever visited?

I've been lucky to travel extensively and explore many amazing countries, each with its own unique charm. However, if I had to choose one standout destination, it would be my trip to Chiang Mai in Thailand with my dad. We rode elephants, explored enchanting ancient temples, and enjoyed some of the most delicious meals I've ever had. It was truly a magical experience.

What is your why?

My "why" is to wake up each day with a sense of pride and accomplishment, knowing that my family, friends, and loved ones are loved, happy, safe, and cared for. The well-being of my children and the security of my family bring me a deep sense of calm and fulfillment.
