“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!"

He has negotiated us the best price when selling and has used admirable sales strategies in obtaining us the fairest price when buying. Kevin is personable and he understands what good service means, proving it each time we deal with him. Most importantly, Kevin is a good person and he makes buying and selling real estate an enjoyable and rewarding experience.

“Despite being my brother, Kevin has always taken a very professional approach in handling my real estate needs and succeeding where others may fail. Kevin is a constant source of great information both about the buying and selling of a residence and all the little details associated with a real estate transaction. As a real estate professional myself, I understand what being great means when handling real estate transactions and Kevin certainly has it; great communication, knowledge and experience.”
