TESTIMONIALS
There’s nothing better than a past client to help a potential buyer or seller understand what working with a specific Real Estate Agent is like. Below are a few testimonials of Kevin’s most recent clients: his personal touch, knowledge of the market, and exceptional marketing strategies shine through clearly.
Eight years ago, Kevin sold my home in Chaplin Estates and helped me purchase a home in Rosedale. We kept in touch over the years and most recently, Kevin sold my father’s home in Forest Hill and my home in Rosedale. He also helped me buy my new home in the Annex recently – a lot of buying and selling!
I would only use Kevin as my realtor and recommend him to friends constantly. He brings all the resources you need to help sell your home, and doesn’t abandon you once the transaction is complete. I was out of town when he sold my recent home (in less than 3 days). Kevin handled all the details (Open House, showings, etc.) and I never worried for a minute about not being home. He has helped me find designers, contractors, flooring people etc. for my new home.
People often ask about the value of realtors, I can honestly say that Kevin brought significant value to all of my most recent house transactions. He did his homework in terms of setting a price for both my home and my father’s home and understanding the market in the Annex where I bought. Most importantly, he was wonderful during the negotiation process, he handled all the conflict and asked all the tough questions. He made me feel very secure that the best possible deal had been done!
Kevin was exceptional to work with on the sale of our home. Everything was seamless – the organizing, the staging, the listing strategy and more. We didn’t worry about anything. Kevin provided great counsel and perspective during the entire sale process. We received a lot of attention pre-listing and post-sale which was very unique. Kevin’s full service approach makes him stand out in a crowded field. Finally, Kevin is a great person to deal with on your most important asset sale. Without hesitation, we would highly recommend Kevin to anyone looking to sell or buy a home.
From Kevin’s first presentation his knowledge and experience was evident. He presented a plan with such detail we knew immediately he was the right choice.Kevin took the stress out selling our home. With his amazing team of cleaners, painters, stagers and photographer he had our home sale ready quickly and efficiently. The results were amazing. He has indeed redefined “all inclusive”. I have no hesitation recommending Kevin as the outstanding realtor.
Kevin is a wise and wonderful professional who knows the market. He is efficient and detail oriented when you are looking to sell your home and executes your sale or purchase seamlessly. He is a dream in a place where there is stressful anticipation from clients about the selling or buying of their most coveted possession; the family home.

Purchasing a Property
When it comes to the dedication, patience, and availability needed to be a great buying agent; not all agents are created equal.
Kevin always begins working with new clients by establishing detailed buying criteria; understanding where there is flexibility and what characteristics are absolutes. He establishes an agreed sense of availability of time, and helps identify a strategy can be employed to make sure they can see the properties that meet their criteria in a market where property moves quickly.
