Client stories, in Kevin’s words

Every family has something that matters most. Here is how Kevin helped four of them.

Matt and Jackie. Bought their dream home, then sold the condo

Had a bad experience with a realtor before? So did my client Matt before we started working together.

He wasn’t looking to work with another one, and I don’t blame him.

But his wife Jackie and I are colleagues, and she vouched for me. That was enough for Matt to give me a shot.

We spent many nights and weekends touring homes. After every showing we talked through what they liked and what they didn’t, and I adjusted the plan from there. When we found the right one, I went to bat for them in negotiations and got them a deal they felt great about. It was their dream home.

Then Matt asked me to sell his condo and we were successfully able to sell it on the market.

Helping Matt and Jackie find their new home was a privilege, and I’m grateful I now get to call them friends.

If you’ve been burned before, I get it. I’d love to help.

Talk with Kevin

Anna and Brendan. First-time buyers, and two of Kevin’s former students

Buying your first home and not sure where to start? Anna and Brendan were in the same spot.

Being a high school teacher full time, I actually had them both as students years ago, so when they reached out for help finding their first home, it meant a lot.

First-time buyers usually have a ton of questions, and they should. We toured a lot of homes together. At every showing, I pointed out the good and the bad, so they knew exactly what they were looking at. I walked them through each step of the process and connected them with a mortgage broker who took great care of them to make sure they were informed on the homebuying process.

In the end, we found them a home they love.

Watching former students become homeowners is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do.

If you’re buying your first home and feel overwhelmed, I’d love to help you out.

Start my home search

Elise. Retired after 30 years of teaching and moved closer to family

“Mom, he took really good care of us in high school. We know he’ll take really good care of you.”

That’s what Elise’s two sons told her when she was getting ready to sell her home. Both of them were former students of mine.

Elise was retiring after 30 years of teaching, and her dream was to move to the west side of Michigan to be closer to her sons. We got her house sold for a great price, and she made the move.

Then the story kept going. Elise wanted her parents, Ed and Linette, to come with her. At first Ed wanted to sell their home himself. But after seeing how things went for his daughter, he asked me to sell theirs too.

Being trusted by a family across three generations is what gives me purpose in helping more families find their next homes.

If you’re getting ready for your next chapter, I’m here to help you make it a successful transition.

Plan my next move

Ed and Linette. Sold their home of 50 years in White Lake, over asking

Ed had one condition before selling his home of 50 years: he had to harvest his garlic first.

Ed and Linette built their house in White Lake, MI and lived there for over 50 years. Ed is from Italy, and his garden meant a lot to him. Especially the garlic he brought over from Italy.

So when we started talking about listing the home, he told me the house couldn’t sell until the garlic was harvested in July.

No problem. We planned around it and got to work. The house sold over asking in June, and I negotiated occupancy through July so Ed could bring in his garlic before they moved.

Fun fact: at first Ed didn’t want to use a realtor at all. He figured he could sell it himself. After seeing how things went for his daughter Elise, he changed his mind.

Leaving a home you built and lived in for 50 years isn’t easy, and they were nervous about it. Now they’re on the west side of the state near Elise and their grandsons, and they love it.

Every homeowner has something that matters most to them. My job is to protect it.

Thinking about selling a home you’ve lived in for years? I’d love to help.
