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.
“We met Kevin at an open house 6 months before we ever thought about selling our house and we were very impressed with his approach and his style. The open house was 1-5pm instead of the usual 2-4, and he spent a long time chatting with us about our needs and giving us his thoughts on the neighbourhood.
His dedication was apparent but we were even more impressed by how knowledgeable and well prepared he was. When we decided to sell we did our homework and interviewed a number of agents, and Kevin immediately stood out. It was important that the agent we chose know our neighborhood well and no one knows Chaplin Estates like Kevin – his track record for selling is outstanding. From his presentation, it was apparent that he not only knows the neighbourhood inside and out but that he had all the right strategies to get buyers in and get them interested. We were confident that if anyone could get us the price we wanted for our home, it was him…and he did!
His service was exceptional from start to finish. He went above and beyond our expectations doing so many “extra little things”, everything from helping us to get our bathroom painted to loaning us a couple of his paintings from his own home! Probably the most impressive thing though was when the home inspector made a major error in his report and within a couple of hours of noticing it, Kevin had not only got it corrected, reprinted and faxed to any agents who had the old version but also negotiated a refund! Kevin is the hardest working agent I have ever met and when you combine that with his knowledge, experience and “above and beyond” service mentality, you know that you are not only going to get the most value for your home but that you will enjoy the process. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kevin to anyone selling their home.”
“I would like to please tell the manager/broker of your office how pleased we were with the service of Kevin McCarthy. My wife and I are first time home owners. Originally when we met Kevin, we were unsure whether or not to buy due to the present financial market. Not only did Kevin give us lots of options, he presented in such a professional yet easy going and trusting manner. We ended up buying a house in less than two months, and consider our house both a wonderful home and a wonderful investment. Kevin has gone to many lengths to make sure our purchase is something that we are absolutely happy with –and we are! We were very pleased with Kevin in all areas of our transaction. Thank you very much.”
“Kevin, demonstrated thorough knowledge of the market and his ability to utilize that knowledge with patient understanding for his clients’ needs.He showed integrity and was gracious throughout a process that could have been much more stressful! I consider Kevin McCarthy our Chaplin Estates real estate guru. Thank you, Kevin!”
“I engaged Kevin McCarthy to sell my house and I can recommend him highly to anyone who is looking for a well managed and successful house sale. He is courteous, friendly, and sensitive to the needs of his clients, and, at the same time, experienced, extremely well organized, and willing to go the extra mile to ensure that the process is a smooth and positive one. I was very happy with the procedure and the purchase price.”
