September 21, 2023: I first used Kevin as my realtor over 20 years ago when I moved to Newfoundland from the UK, and would not even consider using anyone else. Buying a house is a hugely important undertaking and I would always want Kevin to support me. He combines a flair for his work with good sensible advice and over 2 decades of experience in the real estate business. I have both bought and sold houses with Kevin’s support and in all cases I am sure he got the best deal possible for me. But apart from all of that, Kevin is a wonderful person, he is always promptly available, efficient and every interaction is easy, honest and effective. I have recommended him to several colleagues who have been similarly impressed. I wouldn’t look any further, ask Kevin to be your realtor and you will not regret it. --- [Duncan McIlroy Prof. Duncan McIlroy (pronouns: he/him/his) University Research Professor Department of Earth Sciences] Memorial University @munPaleobiology www.researchgate.net/profile/Duncan_Mcilroy

September 22, 2023: I can’t say “Thank you” enough. Simply a calm, cool, and collected professional, who truly listens, interprets, and formulates a plan. Kevin helped us navigate one of the toughest times of our life and delivered completely. Thank you, Christina and Jason Reid

September 21, 2023:To Whom It May Concern: Kevin Martin has handled a number of real estate transactions for us over the years. Each one went smoothly. We are so pleased with Kevin. We cannot say enough about Kevin and how phenomenal our experience has been. He is engaging and informative. In fact, we referred our son to him and his experience was the same as ours. His vast knowledge and experience of the real estate market, really helped us. Whether it was getting us new listings in a timely manner, with the tight market, or assuring our offers got timely attention by vendors agents, Kevin was on his game. Kevin also helped get good fair market value when he has sold our properties. Best part is his service. Immediate responses and willingness to help. If you are looking to buy or sell real estate, we strongly suggest you reach out to Kevin Martin.

June 19, 2023: Kevin Martin was our realtor for my military move to St John’s NL. My first introduction to him was when our realtor in Alberta gave his name as someone to reach out to. Actually he contacted us before we could reach out to him. Right from the start his outstanding character and professionalism stood out. Throughout the whole process of coming out to NL for our house hunting trip, he greatly helped us understand the market. Due to the time constraints he ensured we got into a new place in a short matter of time. Kevin was very dependable and knowledgeable and ensured we felt appreciated as his clients. Kevin went above and beyond to ensure we were taking care of in every step in the buying process. Even reaching out to us while we were traveling to NL to advise he would take care of an important issue that would benefit us. The outstanding support he gave us will never be forgotten. My wife and I have really enjoyed Kevin's kindness and how he treated us like good friends throughout the whole process. It was an honor having him as our realtor. It is easy to see why he received an ‘’outstanding reward’’ for his work as a realtor. Thank you Kevin. Jason & Beverley Hyatt --- Summer of 2022 ----

My Kids and I moved to NL from NS in March 20' just as COVID was starting which felt like diving into the unknown. Kevin made the move worry-free and seamless. Very experienced, professional, prompt, and courteous. So much so, that Kevin was an easy choice to become my sale & purchase agent in fall 22' which resulted in a both a successful sale and purchase. Kevin will always be my go-to agent and will recommend him to friends and family without hesitation. Cheers, Kev.

March 06, 2023: As out-of-province first time buyers, we came to Kevin with a slew of questions and a great deal of apprehension. He made himself available to us day and night, and never failed to give us valuable insights on the market and every house we considered. Kevin ALWAYS had our best interests at heart, and he worked tirelessly to get us a fair deal on the perfect house for our lifestyle. To say that he went above and beyond would be a gross understatement. We found our dream home with a modest budget in a very hot market, and we owe it all to Kevin. We will never work with anyone else in St. John’s!

“I have known Kevin for several years on a professional as well as a personal basis. We have interacted and exchanged professional knowledge and experience in real estate and I look forward to meeting him at the many RE/MAX conventions. Kevin is progressive and insightful, and well respected by his peers and fellow RE/MAX associates nationwide. His personality and humor are admired by all and he offers a strong sense of camaraderie!”
By: Greg Hamre
“Kevin is a motivated individual who cares about these clients and realtor contacts. He is dedicated to making people's dreams come true. He strives at developing his business platform to stay ahead of the competition and to show leadership in the industry. I have known Kevin for many years. We have attended conventions together regularly year after year. He is always marketing his brand and networking with other like-type agents. We have had a few referrals together and he has always been honest and attentive. He is a pleasure to be with and a joy to associate with.” July 6, 2010

"Hello Kevin, I'd like to thank you for the great job you did in helping Renee and I sell our home in Newfoundland. While there was never any doubt you'd sell our home quickly for us we never imagined having it done in such a quick fashion. As you know moving is challenging but having to leave Newfoundland and relocate to Alberta in such a tight timeframe was stressful and then compounding that with having to sell a home can be overwhelming. You put us at ease and told us that you would help position our home to sell quickly and in less than 24 hours it was sold at full asking price. WOW. You then went above what most agents so and put us in touch with a great agent here in Lethbridge, Alberta which ultimately helped us secure a beautiful home without any concerns. Thank you once again for the great work you did and should we return to Newfoundland in the future we would certainly want to be represented by you during the purchasing process. Regards,"

"When we decided to sell our home recently, Kevin was the first person we called. Having already sold our first one with him, we knew we could trust Kevin and he would look out for our best interests in the process. Kevin is a true professional who has the best interests of his clients at heart. He gave us solid, honest and professional advice and kept us informed throughout the entire process. Always available, no matter the day or time, it has been a pleasure to work with Kevin and we know who we will call the next time around."

"Thank you so much for building such a beautiful home for us. Building a home in NL, while living in Fort McMurray, proved to be extremely challenging, but you went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly. Thank you for your efficiency and professionalism when addressing any delays and for your availability via email and telephone to answer MANY questions we had. We would definitely recommend you to anyone who is building or selling a new home without hesitation. Thank you so very much!!!"

"As first time home buyers, we were pretty much overwhelmed by the whole process. Corey and I were looking for a real estate agent that was experienced, reliable and patient. Kevin Martin was all of those things and more. Kevin’s knowledge of the real estate market is equally matched by his honest and dedicated nature towards his clients. He was always available at our convenience; there was no time of the day he wouldn't meet with us. He was patient with us as we viewed house after house, reassuring us that the right home would come along. And when it did, Kevin walked us though each and every step of the buying process. He was always there to answer our questions. It was comforting to know that he was just a phone call away when we needed him. We knew that we could always count on Kevin to give us his honest opinion and advice. We would not hesitate to recommend Kevin to any of our family, friends or co-workers. Kevin, thank you for all the hard work and dedication you put into helping us find the perfect home. You took the stress out of buying our first home and made it exciting and enjoyable experience."

"I have known Kevin Martin for approximately 5 years when I purchased a home from him. My first impression of Kevin was of his professionalism in the way I was treated. He looked after me like I was a family member. He took great care of me. It was probably my second encounter when I really got to know Kevin well. I was downsizing, and I had to find an Agent to represent me and who was going to look after me properly. Without hesitating, I called Kevin to look after me. He was there for me right from the start. First he accessed my house and told me what to expect to receive for it. In no time flat Kevin had the ball rolling with such things as signage on the front lawn, newspaper clippings, as well as a listing on his webpage. Because of Kevin's selling approach, in relatively no time, my house was sold. I then had to purchase a home. Because Kevin knew what I wanted, he recommended the houses that would interest me and skipped houses that would not interest me. Along with his assistant, I found the house that I wanted in my price range. I would not hesitate to have Kevin represent me whenever the need arises in the future. His personality, and his professionalism has sold me about chosing a real estate agent. I have told many of my friends about Kevin and would not hesitate in obtaining his services. His tireless work ethic has proven that there is no need to get another person other than Kevin."

"When I decided to sell my home I did not have to give a second thought to whom I wanted to take care of the sale for me. Kevin Martin was my realtor when I purchased the house 6 yrs. ago and from that experience, I knew it would be Kevin I'd be calling again. Within 2 weeks of listing, I had a buyer. Kevin took care of everything when I would not have known where to turn. He was always only a phone call away ----- never had to talk to an answering machine. He treats his clients as though they were old friends. Very easy to talk to. My experience with him was a very positive one and I would recommend him to anyone"
By: Tracy
"Buying my first home was an exciting but scary process. However with the support and guidance from Kevin I felt that my best interests were always at the top of his list of concerns. Kevin walked me through each and every step, he answered any question I had and was very professional. Kevin also got to know me as a person and asked questions on what I was looking for in a home. He often told me that when the right house came along, I would know but until then I should take my time. I trusted his judgment and only after a few short weeks he found me the home of my dreams. I would recommend anyone who is buying or selling their property to contact Kevin Martin, he will treat you with respect and provide second to none professional real estate service. Kevin, thank you and your team, for all of your support and dedication!"
By: Erin & Justin
"When we decided that it was time to sell our first home and build again we went to Kevin. We were quite pleased with his services and confident in his advice. Kevin was very efficient and professional in his approach to selling our home and overall it was a great experience! With Kevin’s expertise of the real estate market our home sold within the first two days of being listed! Although the development of our new home resulted in quite a longer process than initially anticipated, we once again were pleased with the service we received from Kevin while he worked with us through the entire process. He was always accessible to answer our many questions. Kevin was continuously helpful and professional in our dealings throughout the construction of our new home. We consider Kevin as not only our agent but also a friend! Thanks for your services Kevin, greatly appreciated"

"We recently listed our home with Kevin Martin of Re/Max Realty Specialists and were very happy with every aspect of the experience. I had no doubts about who my agent would be. It was a great pleasure to call Kevin once again to sell my home. During this recent sale, Kevin and his team exceeded all my expectations in efficiency, professionalism, tenacity and approachability. He was very knowledgeable about the market in the area and helped us determine the best price to sell our home in a timely manner. The house was sold in one day and simply amazed us! We have a lot of confidence in his abilities and have recently recommended his services to friends who are thinking about selling their place. He gets the job done! Thanks again Kevin!"

"Kevin Martin was referred to us by a colleague when we were preparing to sell our home. He came to our home and listened to us and gave us a market evaluation that was both rewarding and realistic. He was very professional and personable in his approach to selling our home and at the end of the day it was a pleasant experience. Recently we moved back to the St. John's area and we didn't have to think twice before calling Kevin to help find us a suitable home. With Kevin it was not about getting a sale, but more importantly finding us a home that was suitable for raising a family. Kevin was always available day and night; it was never too early or late to call, and as Kevin knows we called him at any hour to ask questions or to get him to arrange a showing.At the end of the day I would definitely recommend Kevin to anyone that is looking to sell their home or needing to purchase another home. Kevin knows that it is not a house you are looking to buy or sell but a home where you will have long lasting memories."

"We are pleased to offer support for Kevin’s services as a real estate agent. He recently sold our St. John’s home. During the time our house was on the market, we were always able to contact Kevin regardless of the day or time and he always eagerly answered our many questions in a pleasant and friendly manner. We have seen first-hand how Kevin’s commitment to his clients, reflected in his positive attitude and knowledge of the real estate profession, achieves desired results. He recognizes the power of strategic advertising so the property gets just the right amount of exposure and in the right areas. He is extremely creative in bringing in prospective clients and emphasizing the positive points of any home. Kevin’s abilities are surpassed only by his integrity. After dealing with him, we can assure anyone that he is a man of his word and that he performs his business in only the highest auspicious of professionalism and honesty. This is a rarity in any industry today and is an asset that is equal to any other. Trust us when we say Kevin is one of the best agents in the city today. He will be able to either quickly sell your current house or find the ideal home for you and your family. He did for us."

"After shopping around looking for an agent to help us, we decided on Kevin to help us sell our home. With the recent changes to the real estate market prices in St. John’s over the last couple of years, we weren’t sure exactly how much we could get for our home. But Kevin did a full market analysis and told us what we could expect to get for it and how long it should take to sell based on the price we picked and where it placed alongside other listings. After looking at his analysis, we chose a price that would get us the best value for our home and still allow us to sell it relatively quickly. Within two weeks, the house was SOLD for exactly what we wanted to get for it. And Kevin did a great job negotiating the sale and helping us with any questions we had along the way. I would have no problems recommending Kevin to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. In fact, we are planning on buying another home this summer and we will be calling Kevin to help us with it as soon as we are ready."

"Dear Kevin, We are writing this letter to thank you for the sale of our property. We are very pleased with the results, especially how quickly and seemingly painless the whole process was. Even toward the end when things were questionable, you were on top of things. Both of us were not looking forward to having our home on display for what we expected to be weeks or months. I am sure many people who have sold their homes can relate to this feeling. However, from our first meeting with you, you anticipated that you would sell our property within one week or so. We thought this would not be possible and was more than likely a 'sales pitch' from someone hoping to receive our business. As it turned out this was not the case. Our home was listed on Monday and by Friday we had accepted an offer. We were extremely pleased to sell our home within four days of listing it and for an amount that was pleasing to us.At all times you were professional, knowledgeable and explained the aspects of the process to us in a clear and concise manner. You did exactly what one would hope for in the sale of their property - You sold it quickly and for the right price. Your advice and efficiency have been greatly appreciated. Once again, thank you for representing us and should the opportunity arise, we will unquestionably use your services in the future, as well as recommend them to others." Sincerely,
By: Jill McGrath-Gallant
