Kevin Duffy

Didn't seem to be able to get answers on key contract issues as a buying agent. I had to have him re-send earnest money info because we never received it even though he said he sent it. He did pay to have a hot tub removed when sellers were being difficult, which was nice. He told me he would be there at inspection, then doesn't show up until we called him in a panic. After the fact he tells me it's a conflict for him to be there? NOT ok. To add insult to injury, after leaving him an average review of 3 stars on Google, he again responds with his excuses, falsely claims I left a nasty review for painters that he recommended, then has the painters bump his reviews up and he for them. My review of the painters was mild compared to the service I actually recieved. I am still cleaning overspray from windows, door knobs, and blinds because they did not tape those things when spraying the ceiling. Thank goodness they did clean the tub and showers that had overspray on them. So, this time, I'm giving him 2-stars. Unprofessional, seemed preoccupied, and is defamatory in his response to my initial review. Maybe he is an attentive selling agent, but as a buyer's agent, I was not impressed. We handed him this deal and I expected more. Buyer beware.

Kevin went above and beyond his normal duties as real estate agent. Not only did he have accurate knowledge about the market, he referred us to capable and effective contractors to perform repairs. He also gave advice about which improvements to make and which not to make that proved to be perfectly accurate. We had a lot of items that needed to be removed from the garage and a storage shed. He provided a vehicle and assistance in removing larger materials from the property. When, on the day of closing, the buyer insisted for the first time that all property in the garage be removed, including a lawnmower, rakes, wallpaper stripping equipment, paint used in the interior and tiles, grout and tiling materials needed if repairs were to be made to tile or grout, Kevin removed the materials himself. Had he not, and I had been required to remove them, the closing would have been postponed.

So, I know Kevin personally, but was hesitant to use. You know, working with friends sometimes they get lazy and make assumptions. Let me just say, Kevin was very attentive to my needs and questions. Stayed in front of any questions that came up and made suggestions on negotiations. Helping me with my sale of my personal home and took us to look at homes for us to buy. Unfortunate for Kevin, we decided to purchase my parents home. Kevin never stopped, making sure we had everything we needed. Always professional, always returning calls, and always positive. Can honestly say he made it less stressful than I expected. Thanks Kevin!
