“Kevin represented me in both the sale of my condo and the purchase of my new townhouse. At all times, Kevin was professional, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful during the process. Kevin is a fountain of information and has numerous contacts if you’re looking for mortgage brokers, legal services, movers, appliance suppliers, and construction contractors. During the purchase of my new townhouse, Kevin was especially helpful when I was experiencing some frustration caused by the vendor.

“I have known Kevin for 20 years and he has always been the consummate professional. It was because of this that we chose him to both sell my house and purchase our new home. He is extremely knowledgeable in every aspect of the Real Estate market and was able to get the maximum selling price for my house when I sold as well as negotiating a great price for the new house. Kevin provided outstanding no pressure service and did not hesitate to show and give us his expert opinion on any property we were interested in. We would not hesitate to use Kevin again and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a laid back, knowledgeable and ethical realtor to buy or sell their home.”

Buyers - Troy + Kim
“We started thinking that it would be nice to move from our condo into a house. Since we knew that it would be about a year before we were ready to take that plunge, we were reluctant to sign up with a real estate agent. We went to open houses to learn more about the market in the areas that we were interested in but we always approached open houses with trepidation. We found that open houses are often accompanied by overbearing real estate agents. We met Kevin at an open house and he was refreshingly laid back. Because he did not make us feel uncomfortable, we took him up on his offer to set us up with the mls updates for the areas that we were interested in. Never once did we feel pressured to buy. Even though Kevin understood and respected the fact that we weren't ready to start looking seriously, he was more than happy to show us any homes that we wanted to view. When we did find the perfect house for us, earlier than we expected, he walked us through all the steps and even brought in cleaners for us to take some of the stress off of moving. In summary, we appreciated Kevin because he was always helpful and prompt while still maintaining a laid back and non-pressuring manner. Thank you Kevin!"
