"Kevin is an incredible realtor. He’s smart, pragmatic, and has very good judgment. Professionally, he’s nailing it, A+. He helped us buy and sell, and it was a truly excellent experience. But what really set him apart was how he made an authentic connection with my family. I can tell he genuinely cares about us. He’s funny, friendly, and big-hearted. He went above and beyond to help us in ways that only a friend would. He’s exceptional, one of a kind." - Chris G.

"My sister and I met Kevin through an inquiry on Zillow, chance. For the past 7 months, Kevin helped us find and purchase our very first home. He walked us through the entire process and made house hunting a very enjoyable experience. His humor, outgoing nature, and extensive knowledge of the Austin area real estate market made this just an incredible experience for us. Not to mention his expertise in construction really taught us what to look for in a house. He’s really good at what he does! Kevin was patient, diligent, and continuously checked in with us as needed. He’s got the grit you want in a realtor who will represent you!" - Lucia M.

"Kevin’s strengths lie in communication, consistency, and client centricity. He is not one of your typical realtors - he really is there to help you and is very accommodating to your needs while still understanding the realities of the market. He wrote up strong offers for us in a very competitive market and ultimately helped us find our home. His attention to detail and consistent communication were greatly appreciated. Not to mention, Kevin’s unique personality can make even the most mundane of things (like house shopping) a fun and enjoyable experience. Would definitely recommend Kevin and hope to work with him again for our next home." - Rebeca M.

"Wow! Kevin thank you for the amount of effort put into helping us close on time and secure the right home for our family. To all: Kevin is willing to go out of his way to ensure your family is taken care of. Extremely knowledgeable about the market and every zip code near Austin. Can’t recommend him enough. Courteous, punctual and professional!" - Hector A.

"Let me start off saying that Kevin is the nicest, most accommodating realtor I've worked with. I've purchased several homes in the last 10-15 years and Kevin is far one of the most responsive realtors I've met. I purchased my home during Covid and he didn't just refer me to a virtual website. He actually went into the homes and did a "live" walk-through. He was there for every detail, in the beginning, middle and after the sale. Top Notch Realtor and highly recommended." - Rafael G.

"Kevin was the agent for my Cedar Park home. He was really in tune to what buyers in the area were looking for. His attention to detail helped point out multiple easy ways to make the home really standout. We had multiple offers within 24 hours and sold for higher than expected with a very smooth closing. Kevin was very hands-on throughout the entire process and made it very easy. Highly recommend." - Nick C.

"Kevin is similar to a Swiss Army Knife when it comes to connections. Having moved from the Northeast, it was difficult to navigate the market and find reliable people to work with that I could depend on. Whether it’s getting estimates from his list of trusted or finding the best loan officer to work with, Kevin made the process smooth and easy. Kevin is punctual, personable, and has a vast knowledge of the Austin real estate market. I would not have been able to buy a house without him." - Eben K.

"Kevin exceeded my expectations as a buyer's agent. I've worked with different realtors on four home purchases, and Kevin was far the most attentive to my needs and my time. The Austin market is so competitive, and you need someone like Kevin, who is both supportive to the client and aggressive in making fair deals. Kevin guided me through several multiple-offer-above-asking negotiations, and in the end won me a deal that I had originally lost thanks to his fair and kind yet persistent approach. Kevin's personality and humor also make long stretches of house tours much more fun, even if you're that annoying buyer from House Hunters. This is a huge process; you won't regret having Kevin work for you." - Andrew S.

"Very professional and attentive. Worked out a fantastic deal on our home purchase and was with us at every turn. Had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend him!" - Laura A.

"Kevin was incredible to work with! As first time home buyers, it was great to have someone thoroughly, knowledgeably and articulately walk us through the process. Buying our first home wouldn't have happened without him." -Evan A.

"I’ve purchased 7 homes in my lifetime and never has it been so easy and effortless due to the outstanding work from Kevin Russell. From the moment we talked on the phone to the day of closing, Kevin was attentive and completely thorough on every detail of the purchase process. I think the most enjoyable experience was Kevin’s constant updates on the process and information. Kevin Russell will be highly recommended to all friends and family"-Bill A.
