"We worked with Kevin on the soup-to-nuts process of buying a home in Denver, while living on the east coast. In early February, Kevin graciously fielded a phone call along the lines of: "We are happy on the east coast, but are toying with the idea of… a family-driven move to Denver. What should we be thinking about?" In March, when we visited Denver to explore neighborhood, Kevin organized a Denver neighborhood tour and took us to see properties in different parts of town. One thing we really appreciated is that Kevin meaningfully staggered properties across different ends of our budget, rather than pushing us to properties at the higher end of our budget. Kevin was laser-focused on welcoming us to town and on helping us understand what money would get in different parts of town -- rather than focused on pushing a sale.
When we returned to the east coast, Kevin helped us monitor the "crazy Denver market" and graciously toured homes on our behalf, sending us videos each time. When we found our home, Kevin advised us on offer strategy and then was particularly helpful during the tight contract period. He patiently fielded tons of phone calls and questions and numbered agenda lists from us at all times of day. He also handled several idiosyncratic requests from us during the closing, never showing the slightest hint of frustration or annoyance.
Here are three things that we think set Kevin apart from other high-end agents.
1) The first is exothermic energy and good cheer: As buying a home and navigating the real estate can be incredibly stressful, it is valuable to partner with an agent with a calming, sunny disposition.
2) The second is endless patience: In our five months of looking at properties with Kevin, we felt zero pressure from him ever to make an offer; Kevin plays the long game with clients and understands that the best way to secure future business is just to do good work; in fact, Kevin never asked us to sign an exclusivity agreement, preferring instead to earn our business over time.
3) And the third is deep local knowledge: Kevin explained time and again why buying a home in Denver in 2022 was different than buying a home in other places; he knew the ins-and-outs of local appraisals and inspections and neighborhoods and listened carefully to what we wanted in a neighborhood.
Ultimately, we have Kevin to thank for getting us into what we think is a gorgeous Tudor in our first-choice neighborhood. If you are thinking about working with Kevin, we are happy to speak with you to answer any questions."
