Thank you for your submission!
Pat O’Grady 1703 N Monroe St, Arlington, VA 22207 March 13, 2003 Mr. Kevin Love Remax First Choice Arlington, VA 22207 Dear Kevin, We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your tremendous effort put forth in selling our home in Arlington (808 N. Highland St ). You were extremely resourceful in the advertising of the property for the open house. We were impressed at the speed of which your were able to sell our home in under four days from when our home was listed “For Sale”. Not only did you sell our home in under four days, you were able to sell it for $12,000 more than the asking price. What a deal! We were also happy that you maintained a high degree of involvement throughout the entire process of the contingent contact we presented. Throughout the process of purchasing our home and selling the old you were very creative in developing a unique course of action for both properties to be sold smoothly. Although, we are enjoying our new home, if we should decide down the road to move again we will certainly seek out your services again. You made this transition between the two homes one of the easiest we have experienced. Thank you again. Sincerely, Ron Rucker Pat O’Grarty
We put our house on the market in September 2008. As everyone knows, the market at that time was, and has remained, the most depressed for many years. Kevin faced an uphill task in trying to generate interest in the house and find a buyer. That he succeeded is testament to his perseverance, ingenuity and dedication to their clients. With his in-depth knowledge of the local real estate market acquired over many years and his keen eye for presentation, Kevin was immediately able to identify where we needed to effect improvements in the house and surroundings to make them more appealing. His connections with contractors meant that the work was done with little involvement on our part and at reasonable cost. Kevin’s knowledge of the local market also meant that we were quickly able to agree on a price that reflected prevailing market conditions. With the house on the market, Kevin worked tirelessly to encourage brokers and potential buyers. He staged the house beautifully using his own furniture and regularly visited (the house was vacant) to see that all was in order and that everything remained tidy. He organized a number of open houses and open houses for brokers and regularly advertised the property in local media and on the internet. At the time of contract, Kevin demonstrated careful attention to detail and shepherded us through the process to completion. Kevin remained thorough, professional and personable from start to end!

203 Jefferson Street Dedham Massachusetts 02026 781-326-2076 [email protected] April 22,2009 Kevin Love RE/MAX Allegiance 3315 Lee Highway Arlington, Virginia 22207 Dear Kevin, We really must apologize for our tardiness in sending you this long overdue letter of thanks. That said, we cannot thank you enough for the truly exceptional and professional service you provided to us when we sold our North Arlington home. You went above and beyond the call; providing interior design advice for staging, installing outside lighting, even cleaning windows and rescuing me when I inadvertently locked myself out one Saturday morning! Your cheerful and enthusiastic support made us feel that we were in a real partnership. We also were delighted to receive your framed drawing of our former home, which now hangs in a place of honor in our new home and brings fond memories each time we pass it. Thank you so much for this lovely gift. You told us that what you do is “sell houses” and you were right. Despite the fact that we chose the absolutely worst time to sell a home in years, you remained optimistic, focused and committed to ensuring that we would get the best price. When we started to worry, you were right there with the solid advice and competence that only comes with experience. We trusted you and put ourselves in your hands and you delivered as promised. We needed to sell as quickly as possible and you helped us to determine the right asking price, which even generated a bidding war, increasing the final net. Since we had moved to Massachusetts prior to the final sale, you even facilitated the closing in our absence, saving us a trip to Virginia. Please accept our sincere thanks for all you did to help us. You have our highest recommendation and we will be delighted to share our experience with any potential clients. Please feel free to share this letter with anyone you choose. Feel free to contact us if we can ever be of assistance to you, and if you find yourselves in the Boston area please allow us to show you the sights. Best regards, Dennis and Marcia Wilson
Dear Kevin, This letter is so long overdue and I am embarrassed that it has taken me this long to write. First I would like to tell you that we absolutely made the best choice in choosing you to list my mother’s home. We have known you for many years and it was such a comfort knowing that my mother’s needs and welfare came first above any financial gain. You honestly were a godsend, especially since Carol and I both lived out of town and had a limited amount of time to spend in Arlington. Clearing out over 50 years of belongings and memories from our home that we grew up in was an enormous task and one that I still doubt could have been accomplished if not for your help. You weren’t afraid to get “your hands dirty” so to speak, literally and figuratively. Kevin, you honestly went beyond the call of duty and the transformation was just amazing. Our parent’s home, built by Gene May, has always been a beautiful and solid structure with good bones yet with its age also came a bit of an outdated look. Kevin, your suggestions to paint the kitchen a more contemporary color, remove the heavy draperies from the windows, add newer hardware to the kitchen cabinets, and open the rooms up by removing unnecessary pieces of furniture were brilliant. My sister and I were so astounded at the transformation. The house now let in so much more light and looked more contemporary and would appeal to a broader and younger market as well. You sold the house in one day, and got our asking price. Even when the real-estate market was beginning to crumble, you knew that the house held its value and encouraged us to price it as such. I just cannot thank you enough and even though we are miles apart you will always have an open invitation to come to our home in Mathews to visit.
“Kevin sold our house in McLean in a matter of days, full price, at a time when the market was depressed. We have since seen him do the same with other homes. Interestingly, we found him by noticing that a home in Arlington we had been looking at for a while suddenly looked better and had a lot more interest ( it subsequently sold in a week) and that Kevin had recently become the listing agent. He has an amazing eye for selling homes and is extremely attentive. He is as good as we have ever seen in a listing agent.”
6801 Blue Slate Court Alexandria, VA 22106 June 10, 1996 Mr. Davidson Lunger President, ReMax Properties of Distinction, Inc. 1010 North Glebe Road, Suite 160 Arlington, VA 22201 Dear Mr. Lunger, We became first-time homeowners on May 22 and can emphatically state that this event would not have come off as well as it did without Kevin Love. From his initial showing of the house through our settlement, Kevin’s efforts and advice were truly exemplary. We began searching for a home in January and spent numerous weekends attending advertised “open houses. “We saw our eventual home after leaving a nearby “open house” and liked its curb appeal. We called Kevin who immediately displayed a great deal of accommodation. As we viewed the home, Kevin’s warm and up-front style impressed us. Not only did we leave there knowing we would make an offer, but we also knew we wanted to make Kevin our agent”. Until now, we had always heard buying a home was a complex and frustrating process. Kevin’s outstanding responsiveness and guidance have certainly changed our views, besides completing the contract in one night through his efforts, we followed Kevin’s recommendations in choosing a home inspector and loan officer and found them to be right on target.

Matt and I cannot thank you enough for all you did for us during the purchase of our home in Arlington. You went above and beyond the call of duty, both in terms of helping us find the perfect house for our family, as well as helping us find the appropriate people to help us renovate the house. You were willing to meet contractors painters and landscapers etc. for us before we actually moved. This was a huge help, since we were still living in Richmond and had three kids to tote around. Also your help post-move including lending us furniture, buying us smoke detectors and all the big and little things in-between, have really made us feel welcome. This latest transaction is our third transaction with you, and they just keep getting better and better! Thank you for your repeated help over the past eight years. We look forward to working with you many times in the future. With warmest regards, Kathryn and Matt Erskine 4904 13th Street North Arlington, VA 22205 (571) 970-0662 [email protected]
To Whom It May Concern: I purchased my home in Arlington in May 2008 with the help and insight from Kevin Love. He was very knowledgeable of the Arlington market, and has many connections, a long history and an excellent reputation. He literally “got into my head” and narrowed the many choices to only a few. Of those few, he helped my find my dream home. At no time was he pushy, or even remotely attempted to steer me into a home that wasn’t perfect for me. However, it doesn’t end there. His partner, Jonathan Prove did a lot of leg work and market analysis. They were very proactive and didn’t let a stone unturned. With their expertise, I was able to win the contract in a multiple bid process, even in this market. I love my home, neighborhood, and the great experience I had with the “Love” team! Feel free to contact me at any time should you have any questions on these great guys. Sincerely yours, Steve Reighard 2921 24th Street North – Arlington – Virginia 22207 Cell (703) 362-5167, Email: [email protected]
We listed our single family home with Kevin Love and it sold in August 2014. I highly recommend Kevin Love as a Realtor. He was extremely professional and creative in advertising our house. He kept us informed on the changing market and helped us to price the house to sell quickly. I was very impressed with his ability to network with other Realtors and he kept us informed on their feedback. He arranged for the Settlement and it was an enjoyable experience! If you are in the process of selecting a Realtor who will work diligently on selling your property quickly, then look no further. We highly recommend Kevin Love and without a doubt, would work with him again in the future.
We cannot recommend Kevin highly enough as a realtor. He guided us through the simultaneous sale of our home and purchase of the next, giving us smart advice about preparing our house for listing, contract negotiations, financing and life in general! Before choosing Kevin as our realtor, we interviewed a number of agents, and Kevin was the one who clearly understood our priorities and didn’t push us to spend more than we felt comfortable doing — and he stayed true to our goals throughout the process. In the end, Kevin helped us find a home we love and are so pleased we can raise our kids in. Truly, Kevin became more than our realtor — he became a friend.
