Robert R. sold a home in Algonquin, IL

Kevin handled the sale of the condo without a flaw. There were two open houses, and the unit sold quickly. With Kevin's explanation, the buyer understood the features and advantages. Growing up in the greater Chicago area, Kevin's knowledge of neighborhoods is outstanding, as is his ability to talk with potential buyers. That ability to communicate was successfully used during his time on television.

Dianna S. sold a home in Downers Grove, IL

Kevin Roy did a great job selling our home, our home sold in under 40 days. Kevin spent a lot of weekend days at our house doing open houses and after 5th try he found our buyer! Kevin also went above and beyond to help out before a showing after I inadvertently left personal items out in open. Kevin also helped out letting one of our contractors interested the house for an inspection. Kevin is very personable gentleman and responded promptly to all our requests. I would highly recommend Kevin Roy to sell your home and if the need arises, Ill give him a call again!

Ryan M. bought a home in Chicago, IL

Working with Kevin was one of the best experiences I've had! He is truly one of the most personal and helpful people I have ever had the pleasure of working with. His knowledge about any questions I had was exceptional. He never tried to push the sale and went out of his way to find exactly what worked for me! I highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to buy or rent to contact Kevin, you will not be disappointed!
