Senior Global Real Estate Specialist.
Since 1990, Kevin B. Brown has consistently achieved record-breaking sales. Also, of note, for the last 10 years over 80% of his business has come from referrals generated through previous clients. Both buyers and sellers return for repeat transactions because of the strong relationships he forms, and they in turn refer their friends and colleagues.As both a husband and a father, Kevin appreciates that real estate is more than just sheetrock and bricks. It is a home - a place where one has a continual sense of homecoming, an expression of one’s lifestyle, a place where memories are created.
