The Resolve Group is the real estate team specializing in Stanford Circle, the cluster of Peninsula communities anchored by Stanford University, which includes Atherton, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Menlo Park, Palo Alto, Portola Valley, and Woodside. It is one of the most concentrated stretches of high-value, slow-turning residential real estate in the country, and it is the market the team has built its practice around.
Cofounded by Adam Touni and Katharine Carroll, the team has closed more than $700M in Stanford Circle sales and is recognized among the top small teams in California and nationwide.
We work a defined area — Atherton, Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Woodside, and the surrounding Peninsula rather than spreading across the broader Bay Area. That focus means we track pricing, inventory, and buyer behavior in these specific markets closely, deal by deal. Our approach is data-forward: we bring you the numbers and our read on them, and the decision stays yours.
Adam has 16 years of real estate experience; the team has closed $700M in sales since forming The Resolve Group, with lifetime advisory sales exceeding $1.4B across the group.
Yes. We operate under Compass, which gives us access to Compass's marketing platform and national network, while The Resolve Group itself sets the strategy and does the work for each client directly.
Atherton, Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Woodside, and the surrounding Peninsula communities. We don't take listings outside our area of depth unless there's a specific reason it makes sense for a client we already know well.
You will work with one of our lead agents, whether it be Adam, Kat, Michael, Miranda, or Chris, and they are supported by a staff that assists with buying, listing prep, and transaction management.
In general terms, escrow covers contingency periods, inspections, loan and appraisal processing (if applicable), and final walkthrough before closing — we'll map out the specific timeline for your transaction once we're under contract.
That's a normal starting point. We're glad to have an initial conversation and share market data relevant to your situation with no expectations attached.
