Highly recommend Kevin to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!! He helped my family sell our home in Livermore and it was truly a pleasure working with him. It was our first time selling a home and the idea of it was pretty frightening at first because it was such a large decision to make, but we're so glad we chose Kevin to guide us through it. Kevin made the process an enjoyable and straightforward one - he took the time and patience to walk us through everything we needed to know and made sure we were 100% comfortable with everything before proceeding. He was always on top of everything, responded very quickly to any questions or concerns we had, and was fully transparent every step of the way. Kevin's a realtor who does not hesitate to go the extra mile to make sure you're comfortable and happy from beginning to end, and we would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell! read more

Highly recommend Kevin to anyone looking to buy or sell a home! We worked with Kevin to purchase our dream home in Dublin. It was great having Kevin as our agent because he was very knowledgable of the area and he catered to our needs really well. He understood exactly what we were looking for in a home and found the perfect one. What we also appreciated was how responsive Kevin was throughout the process. He would always reply right away if we had a question, and would go the extra mile to make sure we/the sellers were happy. It was awesome to hear that one of the reasons the sellers picked our offer was because of how great of an Agent Kevin was. read more

Kevin did an amazing job in assisting us with selling our current home and buying a new one in Livermore. Kevin provided fantastic support getting our house on the market. The advertising and social media visibility for the property was wonderful! End to end this was a stress free process! We would highly recommend Kevin to anyone in the real estate market. read more

Kevin was an amazing partner in helping us buy our first house. Kevin was always willing to help us investigate a property, even if we stated in advance that we were unlikely to make an offer. He took the time to look at the property and explain some of the details that we might not have noticed (e.g. a new shared fence, the likelihood of traffic noise during weekdays, a roof that will need to be replaced in a few years). When we decided to make an offer, Kevin recommended a structure was competitive and allowed us to participate in the next round of counter offers. He worked hard to make the offer interesting to the buyers (i.e. large deposit, short closing time, no financing contingency) without blowing out our budget. Kevin was also very helpful during closing. He kept the process flowing even when we changed lenders at the last minute and gave us good advice during the switch. Overall I would strongly recommend Kevin to anyone looking for a house! read more

We've known Kevin for years - he's always been one of the more positive, kind, and honest guys we know. So when the time came for us to look at purchasing, it was honestly a no-brainer to see what Kevin could do for us. We did not regret it - Kevin bent over backwards to show us houses and make offers. He was aggressive in his efforts to show us as many options as he could, and as we began to get a better idea of what kind of house we were looking for, he intuitively was able to narrow down our search. Kevin was always honest and patient with us in our search - he worked within our limited financial means, and never gave up on us. Thanks to him, we're living in a house that we love, and all because Kevin was willing to work with us and take the time to get us what we wanted. I can't recommend Kevin enough for younger couples and/or first-time buyers. read more

My husband picked Kevin off of Yelp, solely based on his reviews. HE WAS AMAZING! I was a little weary at first, this is a crazy real estate market and we had been pre-approved for an FHA loan, and we had no experience buying property. We were really going to need someone to hold our hands through the process. Kevin answered all of my questions, no matter how dumb I felt they might be, right away and really helped me get an understanding for what was going on. Kevin really was on our team, not just out to make money. He helped us place values on properties (everything we looked at went for well over asking), he took us to see all sorts of houses in different stages of upkeep so that we would know what to look for, he took us to different areas of town so that we could get acquainted with where we were going to buy and really helped us craft the perfect plan off attack when it came to biding on properties. I know that we are not among the average buyer right now with an FHA loan, but we got the 3rd house we bid on and we really do owe it all to Kevin and his team. If you want someone who really knows what they are doing, is honest and patient and will take the time to really walk you through the process, Kevin is definitely your guy. read more

Kevin is an awesome realtor. I found my home, closed escrow and moved in all in 1 1/2 month. Kevin is very confident which enabled him to do all the necessary things to get me the best deal. Having confidence makes you knowledgeable. Kevin is very knowledgeable about real estate. As a first time homeowner and being 28 years old I did not a lot about purchasing a home or maneuvering through the process. Kevin stuck by me the entire time and never steered me in the wrong direction. He is very professional, prompt and flexible. Kevin is very smart and quick. He has great organizational skills and follows through. He is very tenacious and tries to make the best deal to help his clients. I will definitely be referring him to family and friends that need realtor services. Since I closed escrow he still checks in with me to see if I need anything. Great man and great realtor! read more

Kevin has represented me and my husband for 4 different transactions! He helped us through the scary process of buying our first home - he was patient with our numerous questions and let us take the time we needed to tour each home as we learned what we wanted. He helped us sell our first home and find our dream home, and then represented us as we sold our dream home to move out of the area. Kevin is always patient, knowledgeable, and ready to answer any questions or concerns that may arise. He stays on top of timelines and in communication with all parties to the transaction to be sure everything stays on track. We highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell their home! read more

We can't thank you enough for trekking with us around the east bay until we found the right home at an unbelieveable price. Whenever we started to get discouraged, you always cofidentally reassurred us that we would find the right home for us, and together we did! As first-time home buyers, you gave us so much guidance and knowledge, our experience buying a home with you was priceless. We will be recommending your services to all of our family and friends! read more

Kevin's professional strengths are: communication, punctuality, patience and knowledge. He often replies e-mails within a few minutes so we did not even need to talk to him on the phone much. Also he remembers all the questions that I asked either via email or in person and always follows through answering them all. Personally I like the fact that he answers most of them via email because I like having the written trace with no risk of me forgetting the answer. Kevin is very professional, always on time, gives an accurate information and never over-promises. If you do not like the "pushing" style (that of many others real estate agents), Kevin is for you. Very patient, he is always waiting for my own decision, while providing all details necessary for me to make my decision. Since I want to be in control making my own decisions, not my agent, I like Kevin. And of course the most important of all is the final result, which was very positive for us: after a few months search (yes you've got to be patient in the current market) we bought a house that we liked in the location we liked. Very positive experience! read more

I cannot recommend Kevin Collins more. We were looking for a realtor to help us purchase a new home, and simultaneously sell our current home, and we 100% chose correctly in working with him! His professionalism and experience were obvious from the moment we first met and it was clear that he was an expert in the Livermore market. He got us our dream home at asking, and we sold our home $30k over! Kevin sincerely works and negotiates on your behalf, listens to your needs, and ensures that he's giving you a great experience in what can be stressful situations. His responsiveness and proactiveness ensured a smooth process, even when we had a few hiccups. We never doubted his abilities and that he was working to find solutions we were comfortable with. If you're looking for a realtor in Livermore, Kevin Collins is your guy! read more

Kevin got us our dream home! We loved using Kevin as our realtor. We love that Kevin is a family man and works closely with his wife and daughter as a team. The market is extremely tough for a buyer right now and very competitive but Kevin knew how to be just aggressive enough for us to get in, see the house and have our offer accepted before they even had an open house. We were so happy with how prompt and timely Kevin was with handling our offer. Kevin worked with our best interest in mind and we enjoyed working with him and his lovely family. So many people say how stressful buying your first home is but even with a baby on the way Kevin took care of everything and we felt confident and at ease. Thank you, Collins Family for our new home and wonderful experience! :-) We highly recommend Kevin, he was great! read more

"Kevin is very knowledgeable and informative. I have, and will recommend Kevin to anyone needing an agent for real estate needs. Kevin has shown me that there are trustworthy and reliable agents. Thanks for all your hard work Kevin." read more

Calling my experience with Kevin "good" is an understatement. Calling him a "Realtor" is doing him a disservice. Kevin is a PARTNER and proved to be invaluable to my wife and I as we attempted to upgrade from our 1st home. I admittedly am not the most knowledgeable at the real estate game; however, I am someone that needs to know what exactly is going on at every step. I needed someone that was patient, responsive and willing to educate. Kevin Collins was that and MORE. From our first meeting, my wife and I instantly felt comfortable with Kevin. He has a very easy going manner about him that puts you at ease for a process that you know will be unnerving. We intended to do this in a traditional way in selling our house and then looking for a new property. Kevin gave us a very honest assessment on our home and its estimated worth on the market. He laid out things we should do before putting on the market and things we could do to both increase chances of a quicker sale and asking price. This all changed rapidly when a house came on the market that we fell in love with. Despite being a relatively risk adverse person, we decided to pursue this property still being at least a week away from being ready. The house received 4 offers the first day on the market. We were the 5th and thought we had no chance... however Kevin wrote the perfect offer that was accepted by the sellers. We were surprised but thrilled. But now the fear of the reality of the situation hit! Kevin almost had to serve as a therapist for me during this time. He was confident and reassuring. He is NEVER pushy. You are always in control with Kevin... he is there to support you and keep things moving along. His advice was invaluable. Kevin also went above and beyond in several situations. We received a good offer on our home while he was out of town for a couple of days celebrating an anniversary... but he took the time to work on the offer and present it to us and do all the necessary work when we decided to accept the offer. We felt bad to encroach on his personal time but Kevin was happy for us and never once acted burdened. Again, he was our partner. Another time he handled all the logistics for the repair work that needed to be done on the home we were selling from the inspection knowing that my wife and I were stretched really thin trying to move into our new house, packing up the old house while both working 50+ hour work weeks. He made the arrangements and met contractors at our house to let them in. I can't even tell you how much pressure that took off of us. And it was always presented as "it is my pleasure" from Kevin. At the end of the day, within a 60 day period of first meeting Kevin, we bought a new house and closed on our old house. It was as smooth of a process as I think is even possible and could not have been achieved without Kevin's support and guidance. I could not imagine doing this without him. He clearly is focused on his client's "experience" and is there for you every step of the way. I would not hesitate to recommend Kevin Collins to anyone and everyone. If you are looking to sell a home, buy a home, or both, do yourself a favor and call Kevin ASAP! read more

Kevin Collins was my Realtor when I purchased my house in Livermore. Besides his deep knowledge about the market and real estate as a whole, he was an active listener. He paid close attention my stated needs and asked questions about those influences I hadn't considered - all so he could find exactly the house I wanted. And when he found the perfect house for me, but it had an accepted offer, he was persistent in following up and moved quickly to submit my offer when the other offer fell through. He was honest about the market and the challenges in buying an REO house, but regardless - made the whole process as painless as possible. He was always available to answer questions; he and his staff were on top of all of the extensive paperwork and kept me in the loop at all times. His professionalism, integrity, and commitment are unparalleled. A fabulous Realtor! read more

Kevin is an excellent realtor. He helped us find and purchase our first home. With his knowledge and expertise our first offer was accepted, which doesn't happen very often in this market! He is very thorough and always available to answer any questions. Even after our sale was complete he offered to come over while we were at work to let construction workers in just to make our lives easier! If you are looking for an excellent realtor who listens to your needs and has your best interest in mind call Kevin! You won't be disappointed! read more

Words cannot describe the amount of customer service that you get from Kevin. My husband and I came upon him during a open house when we were looking for our first and so far only single family home, we hit it off with him very quickly. He worked through one of the most unique home buying experiences that any Realtor and lender has had to deal with, with buyer/seller swapping house & townhouse needing a simultaneous close. Needless to say it worked out perfect. When ever we have thought of moving we talk to Kevin to see what is out there. We also know that we can go to him to answer any questions we have about buying or selling even if it's a question for a friend or family member. Kevin will always be the Realtor that my husband and I will go to, we are going to be a life long customer of his due to the awesome and friendly customer service. read more

Thanks to Kevin's expertise, we just moved into our first home. He listened to our requirements, and only showed us homes that met them. Our new home is in the perfect size and in neighborhood we wanted. He walked us through the entire process, and made sure everything came together to close on time (early, actually). We appreciate his help greatly, and will be recommending him to our friends. read more
