Client Testimonials

I initially selected Kevin Wilhelm for my Austin home listing due in part to the very positive testimonials on his website.  It is now a pleasure to add my own letter of recommendation regarding the quality of his professional work.  Kevin is by far the best real estate agent  I have worked with during the decades that I have bought and sold homes in various regions of the country.  His professionalism, expertise, integrity, honesty, and communication skills are unsurpassed.  He was able to apply his diligent research in a rapidly changing real estate market; excellent knowledge and usage of internet based real estate marketing methods; and masterful negotiation skills to sell my home which had previously been listed on the market with other agents for over a year without any offers.  Kevin “gets results” and clearly is an asset to the real estate profession.  I highly recommend Kevin Wilhelm without hesitation for one’s real estate needs and I certainly will engage his services again should the need arise.

~ Lauri K. MD MPH (Long Canyon)

I absolutely can’t say enough about Kevin Wilhelm and how amazing he was in holding my hand throughout the entire home buying process.  If you or anyone you know is in the market to buy or sell in Austin, please consider talking to Kevin.  I’ve been around real estate agents my entire life (my mom has been in the business in San Antonio since I was a baby, and still is), and I’ve also bought and sold a home before I moved to Austin, so I feel I know a quality agent when I see it. Kevin was professional, knowledgeable about the Austin market and even helped me connect with the right mortgage company that was able to close my loan in 20 days!

Again, whether you’re in the buyer or seller market now or will be in the future, I encourage you to consider using his services.  He’s a rock star!

~ Cecily G. (South Austin)

All I can say is – personal service from the beginning until the end!  Kevin makes sure he is always addressing your questions, needs and concerns.  My wife and I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Kevin during the sale of our house and the purchase of our brand new builder home .  Kevin definitely has the patience and personality to do his job very well.  We would definitely recommend Kevin to anyone looking for a professional Realtor to help them with the buying or selling of a home.  Thanks Kevin for doing such a great job!

~ Mark & Ivana K. (Cedar Park)

It is with great appreciation that I write this letter of recommendation for my Austin Realtor – Kevin Wilhelm.  I can’t imagine having gone through the selling process with anyone but him.  Being a distant seller from California, I found Kevin online and I put my full trust in him; he didn’t let me down.  I chose him because he was honest, friendly, hard working and knowledgeable.  His professionalism, knowledge of the market, advice and marketing strategies all contributed to the successful sale of our home.  Kevin communicated with me often by phone and email which afforded us peace of mind knowing that he always had a watch on our property.  He even staged it for me and was the project manager for all the work that needed to be done in order to sell the property.  I have sold more than 20 properties and NEVER had a Realtor do the work that Kevin did!  Kevin Wilhelm is a true professional and a cut above the rest.  I cannot thank Kevin enough for all his efforts!  We would not hesitate to recommend Kevin to our friends or anyone who may be looking to buy or sell their property.  The experience was truly a pleasurable one.  Without reservation I whole heartedly recommend Kevin Wilhelm as your Austin Realtor.

~ Andrea S. (Austin, TX/California)

Kevin Wilhelm has been the best Real Estate Agent in our past ten years that my wife & I have bought or sold a property.  His passion, consistency, transparency and honesty in communication go well beyond these few sentences of a testimonial.  After living in Texas for over a decade, it was with mixed emotions that we decided to relocate our entire family thousands miles away to the  pacific northwest for a new career opportunity.  We received a plethora of calls from over ten Realtors wanting to be our agent, but we chose to go with Kevin as we felt more comfortable with his honesty, familiarity with the Great Hills area & our specific property, and his easy going style.

Kevin and his relentless efforts turned out to be all true in the course of the proceeding months.  Despite the rapidly changing market conditions, he continued to fire thru all marketing and publicity cylinders – frequent open houses, positioning the house on the web & in key real estate publications, an exclusive website just for our property, and constant email & marketing distributions.  He has been extremely transparent, consistent, courteous, and friendly in his regular communication as I and my family were going thru this challenging transition.  Ultimately, I strongly believe, his qualities paid off and he was able to manage thru many ambiguities with all the many parties involved, and he closed the sale smoothly.  We’ll really miss working with Kevin, and definitely miss him as our new friend.  Should there be an opportunity for buying or selling a property in future, Kevin Wilhelm will always be our first choice!  We have no hesitation recommending him as the top agent to our nearest family and friends!

~ Pratt D. (Great Hills)

Kevin Wilhelm worked very hard to sell my house.  He provided me the information I needed to make the decision to sell, and to set the right price.  When the house was ready, Kevin marketed it aggressively and it sold quickly . . . even before he finished all that he had planned.  I would recommend Kevin to anyone who wants to sell a house in Austin.  He’s very good at what he does!

~ Laura B. (Austin, TX 78704 – SoLa)

My house was on the market with another agent for almost nine months without one bite.  When Kevin Wilhelm took over, he made several suggestions to stage the house better, held many open houses, and I was very impressed with his web/internet & other marketing skills.  Even with a  tough market, Kevin continued to be positive and enthusiastic.  He followed up with every lead and he got my home sold.  I was really impressed with Kevin.

~ Debbie V. (Great Hills)

I’d be more than happy to recommend Kevin Wilhelm!  First of all, I want to point out that never in the period that I worked with Kevin did I think I was just in business with him – he acted more as a personal friend.  Personal care for his clients is one of his key strengths. We had moved away to Seattle after 3 months of putting our house on the market with Kevin in Great Hills. In our absence, Kevin made every effort to make sure my house was prepared for showing, getting the lawn manicured, getting expert comments on interior layout, etc. He bore with me during frustrating times by keeping his calm and answering all my questions. I’d definitely recommend him as a trustworthy real estate agent in the Great Hills area or in all of Austin!

~ Pia D. (Great Hills)

Kevin was a great asset to me during the process of purchasing my home.  It was a situation where we needed to act quick and accurate to make the deal work and Kevin made it happen.  I continue to work with Kevin in the process of purchasing investment property.  Kevin has all the attributes that you would want in a Realtor. The main reason that Kevin will always be my Realtor is that his goal is to not just close real estate deals, it’s to look out after the best interest of his clients.

~ Frank C. (South Austin)

I have bought and sold several homes over my lifetime and worked with some very good real estate agents, but Kevin Wilhelm stands above the crowd.  In December of 2008 Kevin Wilhelm sold my home after being on the market during a difficult time in the housing market.  He showed great enthusiasm in marketing my home, held numerous open houses, did constant internet marketing and mailings, and he always kept me informed of showings and made update suggestions of great value.  After we finally got a contract, I don’t think it would have ever made it to closing without his diligence and persistence to get everything done.  Kevin is without a doubt the best real estate agent I have ever had the pleasure to work with.  I now not only consider him as my agent, I consider him as my friend.

~ Louis W. (Northwest Hills)

My experience with Kevin Wilhelm was a very satisfying one! Kevin was referred to me by a prior neighbor, who he also helped in selling their home.  Kevin assisted me in selling my South Austin home and faithfully and patiently assisted me in finding my new beautiful home.  Kevin goes the extra mile in making his clients happy.  He carefully retrieves information pertaining to a client’s wants and needs for their prospective home & searches for, and then diligently seeks them out, many times, driving out to the locations himself to check them out beforehand.  That was very helpful as he knew exactly what my “Likes” & “Dislikes” were and what I had specifically said I did or didn’t want.  Kevin also supplied an abundance of internet homes to view on a regular basis.  I remember Kevin’s words, “It’s going to be your home, so we need to find the one you love the most”.  Thank you so much Kevin!

~ Diana L. (South Austin)

Kevin Wilhelm was, without a doubt, the best Realtor we have ever had work for us. We have moved over 12 times, and this was our best move yet! We have a friend moving to Austin next summer and Kevin will get the referral. Awesome job Kevin – thank You very much!

~ John & Susan S. (Relocated to Austin from Pennsylvania)

We just relocated from Northern California to Austin and Kevin did an amazing job helping us find and buy our first home! Before we moved, we searched through hundreds of houses online and had daily e-mails and phone calls with Kevin to help us narrow down exactly what we were looking for. When we arrived in Austin he was immediately available to take us around to see neighborhoods & houses. We found a home, and again, Kevin gave us his undivided attention in all the stages of buying. Kevin was very helpful with every question we had, he’s a really nice guy, and he’s really great to work with! Thanks Kevin, for making us feel at home in Austin!

~ Sarah and Jason J. – (Relocated to Austin from San Rafael, California)

My wife and I have bought and sold numerous homes over the years, and we never before felt like writing a positive testimonial for a real estate agent. However, after Kevin Wilhelm helped us purchase a home in the Austin area, we felt compelled to provide our positive feedback on Kevin’s efforts.

Kevin has a great knowledge of the real estate market in Austin and he worked tirelessly in finding us a home that met our expectations and price range. We felt like Kevin had our best interests in mind, and he helped guide us to the best home for the money. He was available for help and advice on weekends and evenings and he always worked us into his schedule. His availability was very important, as we had to travel to Austin to look for our home. While the home will be a second home for us, the experience has been so positive that we will likely relocate to Austin in the future to escape the cold weather in the Rockies.

~ Jim and Gloria R. – (South Austin from Durango, Colorado)

Kevin earned our trust and our highest regard by using his talent and exemplary work ethic to sell our Barton Hills condominium. Even though we decided to sell right before the holidays and during a national shift in the market, by retaining his services, we were constantly supported with the information we needed to make good decisions, and feel confident that Kevin had everything under control. He was proactive, and professional every step of the way. Consequently, we whole heartedly recommend Kevin Wilhelm as the best real estate agent you could hope to find!

Kevin as our Buyers Agent: As newlyweds, we each had unique goals for our first home together. Kevin adapted quickly to understand what would make us both happy. He sorted through the new listings each day to present us the options we were looking for. Further, we appreciated how his preparedness, guidance, availability and fast action gave us the edge in obtaining the home we were looking for at a fair price.

~ Ben and Raika R. – (Austin, TX 78704 – Barton Hills to Northwest Austin)

Kevin Wilhelm is the BEST Real Estate Agent that I have EVER worked with!  He’s a “One In A Million” agent….a real professional in every way! I live in Houston, and I was trying to sell a house in Travis Heights “By Owner”.  I soon met Kevin Wilhelm, my “sweetly aggressive” Realtor.  He stopped by often to see how I was doing, and would always share suggestions that would help me with the difficult process of trying to sell my home on my own.  He talked with me about his marketing plan and sweetly offered his help (if I ever needed it).  Eventually, I hired Kevin to sell my house based on his promises and his passion for helping me.  He fulfilled every promise he made to me, and he got the job done.  He sold the house quickly for a great price!  Again….THANK YOU KEVIN!!

~ Marolyn V. – (Austin/Houston – Travis Heights)

I met Kevin Wilhelm at an open house and was immediately drawn to his straight-forward but non-aggressive manor. He was patient and thorough in explaining the process to a first time buyer and he was an advocate for me every step of the way. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kevin to my friends and family, or to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

~ Amy W. – (Austin, TX 78704 South Lamar – SoLa)

Kevin Wilhelm is truly a Real Estate Professional! He is enthusiastic, dependable and very responsive to his clients. We had seen the way Kevin had worked on one of his previous listings in our Great Hills neighborhood, and we knew right away that he would be our choice when it came time to sell our home.

He brought a professional designer by to offer suggestions to help enhance areas of our home, sent out postcards to neighboring areas to announce that our home was going on the market, and he even called into a real estate radio show to tell the audience about our home and the details of the open house event. He did a fantastic job and secured TWO offers during the first open house!

Kevin is also a wonderful photographer. I have seen many other Realtors that just check in every once in a while and the info boxes attached to the sign go empty. Kevin is the type of Realtor that makes sure the box is always full and he is readily available and kept us totally informed of all the many steps leading up to closing. He is also knowledgeable in creating websites and internet marketing….which is another plus. We would not hesitate to recommend Kevin Wilhelm to anyone who is in the market of selling a home! Kevin is the best!

~ Mike & Susan J. – (Austin, TX 78759 – Great Hills)

When we decided to sell our home, we tried to do it by ourselves. We thought that having the only five bedroom home in a new subdivision was going to be easy, but after 2 months of “For Sale By Owner” advertising (we tried everything), we were getting little traffic and NO offers. That’s when we met Kevin Wilhelm – our Star Realtor! In a very clear and professional way, Kevin explained to us the hassle free, time saving and monetary advantages of using the services of a Realtor (especially Kevin) to sell our home. To make a long story short, with Kevin’s suggestions and help, our home sold quickly and for more than we were originally asking for!! Kevin’s diligence, efficiency and honesty gave us the opportunity to realize how important it is to work with a knowledgeable professional. We are extremely pleased with the service we have received and are still receiving from Kevin in the search of a new home. It is truly very difficult to put into words how grateful and happy we are to have had the opportunity to know Kevin, and we sincerely appreciate the great work he’s done in helping us with this important step in our lives.

~ Maria M. – (Austin, TX 78745 – Grand Oaks – South Austin)

I have been a licensed escrow officer for 18 years, and I have worked with many Realtors over the years. Kevin Wilhelm touched me right away as someone VERY special as I noticed the way he worked with his clients. Kevin is extremely knowledgeable, and I have continually seen him go “the extra mile” to find resolutions for his clients. Additionally, Kevin’s demeanor is caring, understanding and charismatic. He gently listens to the concerns of his clients, and takes their best interest under consideration. Kevin is extremely professional and kind, and I can clearly see that his clients trust and respect him. I have continually seen him as very supportive and reassuring to his clients. I am extremely proud that I have had the opportunity to work with Kevin as his closing officer with Independence Title Company, and I would definitely refer his expertise to others.

~ Linda Wilkins – Branch Manager/Escrow Officer @ Independence Title Company – Austin, TX

Kevin Wilhelm is great to work with, and we highly recommend him! He’s helped us with selling our home, buying a home and even leasing our investment property. With Kevin on your side, things just happen! He always finds a way to make your life easier. Many thanks to you Kevin!

~ Nari J. – (Austin, TX 78759 – Great Hills)

I believe one has to honestly enjoy just helping people before they can be truly successful over the long term. Kevin definitely has that spirit! It was indeed a pleasure dealing with Kevin, and I wish him great success.

~ Joyce L. – (Austin, TX 78759 – Great Hills)

Kevin Wilhelm is the greatest! He worked tirelessly with me to help me find my new home and I am delighted with the results. He was knowledgeable, diligent, and patient & he made the whole process very pleasant and seamless. He presented me with my very own website, and he tailored it to display each property that fit my pre-described parameters.

Paramount is that Kevin took the time to listen to my needs because he genuinely cared that I ended up in the right home, in the right area, with all the right features that I wanted.

My absolutely perfect home has all the wonderful amenities, just as I presented them to Kevin at our initial meeting. I would recommend Kevin Wilhelm to anyone! You will NOT find a better Realtor anywhere, so don’t even bother wasting your valuable time looking. Just let Kevin do what he does best. He makes one of the most critical decisions in your life easy, and he’ll find you the perfect home!

~ Lynda K. – (Austin, TX – North Austin)

Kevin did a great job in helping me find the perfect house based on my budget and criteria. As a first time home-buyer, Kevin made the buying process fast and easy. He was patient and helpful throughout the whole process. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a Realtor in the Austin area.

~ Cindy H. – (Austin, TX 78731 – Highland Village – Central Austin)

Kevin Wilhelm is a true real estate professional! Paramount among his many attributes is his ability to recognize the primary needs of his clients.

He helped us see the priorities we wanted for our next home; not just by asking questions, but by comparing our present home to our wish list, then after we all agreed – we saw only those properties that fit.

He is determined. Not just to sell a house, but to satisfy our needs. It was obvious he was working FOR us.

He is creative. He was able to visualize our furniture in a new setting, or changes that would make the property more acceptable.

He is critical. If a house didn’t fit our needs, we would exit quickly but politely.

He communicates. No question goes unanswered. He is soft spoken, but firm. He always checks to make sure he understands our needs.

He is tireless. At no time did we feel that he was un-available to us.

He is patient. There were times when we were undecided, or unsure of our reaction to a property, or even if we wanted a change. He let us talk it through to resolve the issue.

He is knowledgeable. The Austin housing market, the rules and traditions of real estate, where & how to get things done…they are all at his fingertips.

He is thorough. All facts, details and documents are presented when needed. Kevin is a pro! We highly recommend him!
