Flaherty Team client reviews
What real estate clients say
These are reviews of the Flaherty Team's real estate service, not reviews from Braestone residents.
★★★★★“I couldn't believe how fast my home sold at a time when other homes were sitting on the market. Kevin got mine sold quickly and at a price that was top dollar and even more than I expected. His video narrated VR animated on line showing gave my home amazing exposure and reduced unnecessary showings. Kevin was a pleasure to deal with. He was always patient and kept me informed every step of the way. I highly recommend his innovative approach.”
Joanne H
★★★★★“I sold my home with Kevin at the peak of the market, thanks to his strategic advice. He recommended timing that allowed me to sell high and wait for the correction. His innovative video-narrated VR animated online showing showcased my home virtually, so it sold quickly, even before I decluttered. Now, as the market corrected, I’m buying my dream home with the savings. Kevin’s expertise made all the difference!”
Bailey
★★★★★“I recently purchased and sold a house, all through Kevin Flaherty Home Selling System Team. I was very impressed with the way Kevin operates. He is very efficient, very professional, and he and his great team know to how sell a house. My house was sold in 4 days , with 17 showings and 7 offers for $50,000 over my asking when other homes for sale in my area and price range have been sitting for 6 months to a year. He does not waste any time and in my opinion, Kevin and his team are second to none when it comes to marketing homes. With the online showing technology they use, I believe my home was exposed faster and to more people. I would highly recommend Kevin and this team.”
