Kevin McCarthy - Bio

Personal Mission Statement

I dedicate 100% of my energy toward making sure my clients have a positive

As a result, my valued clients, referral partners and friends refer their family members, coworkers, neighbors and other people they know to me for Real Estate advice and services. My goal is to build strong, lifelong relationships, one person at a time.

Background

As a native Austinite, Kevin brings local knowledge to a whole new level. Brought up in the small business world he has connections in all corners of Austin. Kevin grew up in the well known central Austin neighborhood of Hyde Park across the street from Hancock golf course.

Kevin started working at the family business in West Austin at 13 years old and started his first business venture at the age of 17. Since then Kevin has started and sold off a handful of small businesses. Fascinated by Real Estate, Kevin bought a house in NW Austin as soon as he was old enough for a bank to consider giving him a mortgage. He filled that house up with roommates and bought another one and so on so forth. Kevin became a Real Estate agent by accident because he could not find a Realtor who could help sell his investments in a pinch so he got a license and did it himself. Before too long people started reaching out to him for advice and a Real Estate career was born. Since then Kevin has become one of Austin’s most respected top producers.

Kevin enjoys the laid back lifestyle that Austin provides along with his wife Kate and 2 daughters, Ava and Morgan.

Kevin McCarthy - Testimonials

Our experience with Kevin McCarthy was great and pretyy laid back. He kept his frustrations with the other agent to himself so that I would not have to worry so much. I would recommend Kevin!

Kevin was an invaluable resources for us making this move. As we're currently in Chicago he was great about showing us around, giving us feedback on the areas we were interested in and assisting us with all the challenges involved with a cross-country relocation. It was a pleasure to work with Kevin and we'd certainly recommend him to any of our friends who needed assistance, locally or across the country. 

Todd Everling

As always working with Kevin McCarthy was seamless and smooth! This was our third transaction within a year with Kevin and he is always knowledgeable and savvy. He is very professional and effective when negotiating with all parties involved. We have referred him several other business transactions and don't plan to stop! Real estate transactions are not always easy and almost always stressful at some point. I entrust Kevin with relieving much of that just because of the way he works and how professional he is.

When we decided to put our home up for sale, Kevin McCarthy was the first to respond. As soon as we met him, we knew he would be the person to sell our home. Kevin was very patient throughout the whole process. He listened to our concerns and assured us that everything would work out well, even with the economy the way it is. We sold in 3 months and are in our new home now. Everything went smoothly just as he said it would. We will definitely recommend him and Realty Austin to our family and friends. Thank you Kevin and Realty Austin for all your hard work and professionalism.

After an absolute horrific experience with an agent I called up Kevin McCarthy around the end of April. I just closed on a home on Friday and was very please with his outstanding assistance. The other agent would not touch a foreclosure he had no problem with this and he worked very closely with the mortgage agent and we closed very quickly. The site to find homes was easy to use too! Thanks Kevin!
