Testimonials

I recently sold the home in which I’d lived for many years. In preparation of that sale, I interviewed several real estate agents in an effort to find the person that best understood the market, had an excellent marketing strategy, was well respected in the industry and could help guide me through the entire process.

After meeting several competent agents, Kevin McCarthy from Royal LePage, J&D was the person that for me, stood out on many levels: extensive knowledge of area real estate, his calm and reassuring demeanor, delightful staff who helped prepare my home for the market and a personal commitment from beginning to end.

I’m extremely pleased with the outcome and I would recommend you meet with Kevin McCarthy if you are planning to sell your home. You won’t be disappointed.

Working with Kevin was a wonderful experience. After more than 20 years, selling the home where my children were born and raised was not an easy decision to make. Kevin spent months showing me any property I wanted to see at any time all the while orchestrating the preparation of my home for market. He has a team of professionals at his disposal that made the process so much easier. From decluttering to garbage removal, painting to window cleaning, Kevin has the people to do it.
Kevin was always reachable, even while away on holiday. He was on top of the time line but never pushy. I thought I would be stressed throughout the process but I really wasn’t and I know that’s because of all the work Kevin did behind the scenes.
I will definitely definitely be recommending Kevin to anyone needing a real estate agent!

Kevin handled the sale of my home and the purchase of my condo. Having watched Kevin’s listings in Chaplin Estates for many years, I knew he would be the agent I would choose when the time came. I entered these ventures with trepidation. But my fears were quickly dispelled. Kevin explains all steps of the process very clearly and patiently answered all my (and my family’s) questions.My worst fears were how to get my home ready to sell after living in it for 40 years. Kevin has the most amazing team working with him. Everything Kevin told me came true: they took care of everything! Seeing is believing. His research, knowledge and relationships with other agents are invaluable. I feel confident in the decisions he helped me make along the way because he clearly laid out my various options and the consequences to each choice. He helped me become educated in a field where much is at stake and I was a novice. Kevin has my complete trust and respect.

We’ve seen many for-sale and sold signs over the years that proved that Kevin McCarthy is indeed our neighbourhood Real Estate specialist! When we met with him, there was no doubt that he is the area expert and knows the types of buyers interested in Chaplin Estates. In addition, he had developed a long list of happy Chaplin clients. He listened to our ideas, presented and discussed the market with us and really was wonderful in making us feel like we got the right marketing strategy for our unique home. He was swift in bringing us the right buyer right out of the gate and we were successful in making a deal happen in no time! He was always professional and delivered on what he said. We couldn’t be happier with the result and we wouldn’t hesitate (and already have!) to recommend Kevin to our friends and family!!

When it comes to the dedication, patience, and availability needed to be a great buying agent; not all agents are created equal. Kevin is in a league of his own. I couldn't recommend him enough.

Kevin always begins working with new clients by establishing detailed buying criteria; understanding where there is flexibility and what characteristics are absolutes. He establishes an agreed sense of availability of time, and helps identify a strategy can be employed to make sure they can see the properties that meet their criteria in a market where property moves quickly. Kevin also takes time to review recent sales of similar properties with all his clients, to ensure expectations are aligned with market realities, as well as a full walkthrough of the purchase necessities: deposit requirements, mobilizing available funds, and ensuring pre-approved financing.

Kevin has been my real estate adviser for my last two properties — and just as importantly, for the years in between. During those periods, Kevin kept in touch and we discussed the conditions of the market. When the time was right, we sold my properties and optimized the conditions of the market. His knowledge and experience of the Toronto market is invaluable, and when making major decisions I wouldn’t settle for
anything less than his experience and integrity.
I’m so grateful for his recent guidance and recommend his expertise unreservedly!

The best cleaning staff, the best organizer, the very best staging, the best window cleaning and the best photographer in the business. A super efficient, diligent and friendly team pulling together seamlessly to deliver your superior result!
Kevin is, quite simply, the best.

“Kevin sold our home in Chaplin Estates a number of years ago. I still have the brochure he created to showcase our home—an impressive souvenir of the professional job he did. When it came time for me to have my home assessed for estate purposes, he thoroughly researched the area and came through with numerous comparables which gave me confidence in his results.Kevin subsequently helped me with the purchase of a new home, and the sale of my condo. Kevin knows my neighbourhood very well, and my potential buyers. So well we had numerous client viewings on the day of the agents showings, and I quickly sold my condo in part because we were well prepared to show my home at its best, and partly because he knows the market well and what is fair.Kevin and his team are thorough, professional and very responsive. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell in the GTA. He also makes me laugh which goes a long way to help diffuse what can be a stressful process.

Eight years ago, Kevin sold my home in Chaplin Estates and helped me purchase a home in Rosedale. We kept in touch over the years and most recently, Kevin sold my father’s home in Forest Hill and my home in Rosedale. He also helped me buy my new home in the Annex recently – a lot of buying and selling!I would only use Kevin as my realtor and recommend him to friends constantly. He brings all the resources you need to help sell your home, and doesn’t abandon you once the transaction is complete. I was out of town when he sold my recent home (in less than 3 days). Kevin handled all the details (Open House, showings, etc.) and I never worried for a minute about not being home. He has helped me find designers, contractors, flooring people etc. for my new home.People often ask about the value of realtors, I can honestly say that Kevin brought significant value to all of my most recent house transactions. He did his homework in terms of setting a price for both my home and my father’s home and understanding the market in the Annex where I bought. Most importantly, he was wonderful during the negotiation process, he handled all the conflict and asked all the tough questions. He made me feel very secure that the best possible deal had been done!
