Bio

Whether you are buying or selling, real estate transactions can seem overwhelming without the right professional by your side. You need a hard working, enthusiastic professional that takes the time to listen to your wants and needs, puts your interests first, and has the knowledge, expertise, patience, and negotiating skill to best represent you. Kevin is all of this and more!

After receiving a business degree from Eastern Illinois University, Kevin spent more than 15 years in a corporate sales environment refining his client service and negotiation skills but he always longed for a more satisfying career that would better compliment his personality. He was finally inspired to become a REALTOR after the frustrating experience of trying to sell his personal home “by owner”. He eventually enlisted the services of a professional, and the experience was so positive that he chose to make the best career decision of his life. Now, as a REALTOR, Kevin is in the business of making friends, solving problems, and helping people with their dreams......this is truly his “Dream Job.”

Kevin grew up in the western suburbs of Chicago, and has also lived in Atlanta before finally reaching Austin in 2006. He's a Midwesterner by birth, but a Texan by choice and has truly found his “home” here in Austin. He is continually fascinated by the creative energy and positive vibe of this great city, and he's not shy about praising the virtues of how wonderful it is to live here in Austin. Just ask him....he'll tell you! Outside of work, Kevin enjoys photography, yoga, biking, art, movies, travel, dogs, live music, enjoying local restaurants and just exploring and supporting all the great attractions, characters and businesses of Austin and the surrounding areas.

“My success will be measured by the happiness & loyalty of my clients. When you love what you do, every day is a great day!”

Testimonials

It is difficult to explain all that Kevin Wilhelm did to help us sell our home and find the new home of our dreams. We lived in the same home for 24 years and dreamed of moving, but something always got in the way... kids, college, aging parents, kids... We tried Brand X and all they did was get a listing and disappear for 3 months. Then a good friend told me about Kevin selling his neighbor's house in 3 days. That certainly got our attention. Enough of the rookies, give us a pro!

We had some very difficult hurdles to jump with selling a house that we lived in for 24 years, but Kevin had the insight and the expertise we needed. We were especially impressed with his photography and the website that he created specifically for our house, and the great job of following up on all the details. We really do think that we would have given up and not sold our house if not for Kevin and the job he did. He is one of the most persistent and patient people that we have ever met.

Looking for a new home presented another group of challenges, but he really came through for us. His dedication and patience helped us realize our dream, so it is with great pleasure that we wholeheartedly recommend Kevin Wilhelm as your Austin Realtor.

My experience with Kevin Wilhelm has been phenomenal! He worked with me throughout the past year during many changes in my needs as a first time homebuyer. Kevin worked as a team with me and my mortgage lender to find the right home and get the right deal.

His integrity really impressed me, and I recommend his services without question.

Gina P.

Kevin was always there to address my questions. He truly acted as an agent for me. I am so pleased with him! I felt like I not only had someone looking out for my best interest, but also a friend. He could not have been better! :-)

Kevin Wilhelm was wonderful and just the type of person my wife and I needed. We were selling our first home, where we had been living for several years. We knew we were novice sellers, and neither of us could be called negotiators. However, we were sufficiently savvy to recognize the importance of having a Realtor who was extremely knowledgeable not only with selling a house but also with the housing market and the benefits of the neighborhood.

Kevin was all this and more! I could give many examples of how he marketed and showcased our house, but I’ll just say this: he merged classic marketing, modern technology, and a personal flair for photography and presentation. He also worked with us to make the process as simple and painless as possible. Kevin understood our concerns and limitations, and he helped us make informed decisions. He was more than professional; he was empathetic. I believe he wanted us to be as happy as possible while on the market and after the sale. He helped us deal with difficult situations with an understanding that I didn’t expect.

Kevin even helped us with a condominium purchase that we were doing concurrently, and he helped us arrange to have the proceeds of the sale transfer directly from the sale-side title company to the purchase-side title company. We didn’t even know we could do this. It allowed our purchase to close 3-5 days earlier, safer, and with significantly less stress. He also gave us tips that helped us understand the process better.

Kevin coordinated a complex combo of selling and buying closings flawlessly for me. He made it easy for me to understand the technicalities and requirements for the closings. He is clearly experienced, knowledgeable, and connected in Austin. And bottom line, I came out well financially on both houses, thanks to him.

Janet C.

I initially selected Kevin Wilhelm for my Austin home listing due in part to the very positive testimonials on his website. It is now a pleasure to add my own letter of recommendation regarding the quality of his professional work. Kevin is by far the best real estate agent I have worked with during the decades that I have bought and sold homes in various regions of the country. His professionalism, expertise, integrity, honesty, and communication skills are unsurpassed.

He was able to apply his diligent research in a rapidly changing real estate market; excellent knowledge and usage of internet based real estate marketing methods; and masterful negotiation skills to sell my home which had previously been listed on the market with other agents for over a year without any offers. Kevin gets results and clearly is an asset to the real estate profession. I highly recommend Kevin Wilhelm without hesitation for one's real estate needs and I certainly will engage his services again should the need arise.

Lauri K. MD MPH

I believe one has to honestly enjoy just helping people before they can be truly successful over the long term. Kevin definitely has that spirit! It was indeed a pleasure dealing with Kevin, and I wish him great success.

Joyce L.

I absolutely can’t say enough about Kevin Wilhelm and how amazing he was in holding my hand throughout the entire home buying process. If you or anyone you know is in the market to buy or sell in Austin, please consider talking to Kevin. I’ve been around real estate agents my entire life (my mom has been in the business in San Antonio since I was a baby, and still is), and I’ve also bought and sold a home before I moved to Austin, so I feel I know a quality agent when I see it. Kevin was professional, knowledgeable about the Austin market and even helped me connect with the right mortgage company that was able to close my loan in 20 days! Again, whether you’re in the buyer or seller market now or will be in the future, I encourage you to consider using his services. He’s a rock star!

Cecily G.

All I can say is - personal service from the beginning until the end! Kevin makes sure he is always addressing your questions, needs and concerns. My wife and I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Kevin during the sale of our house and the purchase of our new construction home. Kevin definitely has the patience and personality to do his job very well.

We would definitely recommend Kevin to anyone looking for a professional Realtor to help them with the buying or selling of a home. Thanks Kevin for doing such a great job!

Mark and Ivana K.

When we decided to sell our home, we tried to do it by ourselves. We thought that having the only five bedroom home in a new subdivision was going to be easy, but after 2 months of going the For Sale By Owner route (we tried everything), we were getting little traffic and NO offers. That's when we met Kevin Wilhelm - our Star Realtor! In a very clear and professional way, Kevin explained to us the hassle free, time saving and monetary advantages of using the services of a Realtor to sell our home.

To make a long story short, with Kevin's suggestions and help, our home sold quickly and for more than we were originally asking for! Kevin's diligence, efficiency and honesty gave us the opportunity to realize how important it is to work with a knowledgeable professional. We are extremely pleased with the service we have received and are still receiving from Kevin in the search of a new home. It is truly very difficult to put into words how grateful and happy we are to have had the opportunity to know Kevin, and we sincerely appreciate the great work he's done in helping us with this important step in our lives.

I have bought and sold several homes over my lifetime and worked with some very good real estate agents, but Kevin Wilhelm stands above the crowd. In December of 2008 Kevin Wilhelm sold my home after being on the market during a difficult time in the housing market. He showed great enthusiasm in marketing my home, held numerous open houses, did constant internet marketing and mailings, and he always kept me informed of showings and made update suggestions of great value.

After we finally got a contract, I don't think it would have ever made it to closing without his diligence and persistence to get everything done. Kevin is without a doubt the best real estate agent I have ever had the pleasure to work with. I now not only consider him as my agent, I consider him as my friend.

Louis W.

Kevin Wilhelm is the BEST Real Estate Agent that I have EVER worked with! He's a “One In A Million” agent....a real professional in every way! I live in Houston, and I was trying to sell a house in Travis Heights “By Owner”. I soon met Kevin Wilhelm, my “sweetly aggressive” Realtor. He stopped by often to see how I was doing, and would always share suggestions that would help me with the difficult process of trying to sell my home on my own. He talked with me about his marketing plan and offered his help (if I ever needed it).

Eventually, I hired Kevin to sell my house based on his promises and his passion for helping me. He fulfilled every promise he made to me, and he got the job done. He sold the house quickly for a great price! Again....thank you Kevin!

Kevin Wilhelm has been the best Real Estate Agent in our past ten years that my wife and I have bought or sold a property. His passion, consistency, transparency and honesty in communication go well beyond these few sentences of a testimonial.

After living in Texas for over a decade, it was with mixed emotions that we decided to relocate our entire family thousands miles away to the pacific northwest for a new career opportunity. We received a plethora of calls from over ten Realtors wanting to be our agent, but we chose to go with Kevin as we felt more comfortable with his honesty, familiarity with the Great Hills area, our specific property, and his easy-going style. Kevin and his relentless efforts turned out to be all true in the course of the proceeding months. Despite the rapidly changing market conditions, he continued to fire thru all marketing and publicity cylinders, held frequent open houses, positioning the house on the web and in key real estate publications, an exclusive website just for our property, and constant email and marketing distributions. He was extremely transparent, consistent, courteous, and friendly in his regular communication as I and my family were going thru this challenging transition.

Ultimately, I strongly believe, his qualities paid off and he was able to manage thru many ambiguities with all the many parties involved, and he closed the sale smoothly. We'll really miss working with Kevin, and definitely miss him as our new friend. Should there be an opportunity for buying or selling a property in future, Kevin Wilhelm will always be our first choice! We have no hesitation recommending him as the top agent to our nearest family and friends!

Pratt D.

My wife and I have bought and sold numerous homes over the years, and we never before felt like writing a positive testimonial for a real estate agent. However, after Kevin Wilhelm helped us purchase a home in the Austin area we felt compelled to provide our positive feedback on Kevin's efforts.

Kevin has a great knowledge of the real estate market in Austin and worked tirelessly in finding us a home that met our expectations and price range. We felt like Kevin had our best interest in mind and helped guide us to the best home for the money. He was available for help and advice on weekends and evenings and always worked us into his schedule. His availability was very important to us as we had to travel to Austin to look for a home. While the home will be a second home for us, the experience has been so positive we will likely relocate to the Austin area in the future to escape the cold weather in the Rockies.

Jim and Gloria R.

I have been a licensed escrow officer for 19 years, and I have worked with many Realtors over the years. Kevin Wilhelm touched me right away as someone VERY special, as I noticed the way he worked with his clients.

Kevin is extremely knowledgeable, and I have continually seen him go the extra mile to find resolutions for his clients. Additionally, Kevin's demeanor is caring, understanding and charismatic. He gently listens to the concerns of his clients, and takes their best interest under consideration. Kevin is extremely professional and kind, and I can clearly see that his clients trust and respect him. I have continually seen him as very supportive and reassuring to his clients. I am extremely proud that I have had the opportunity to work with Kevin as his closing officer with Independence Title Company, and I would definitely refer his expertise to others.

Linda Wilkins - Independence Title Company

Kevin earned our trust and our highest regard by using his talent and exemplary work ethic to sell our Barton Hills condominium and help us purchase our new home. Even though we decided to sell right before the holidays and during a national shift in the market, by retaining his services, we were constantly supported with the information we needed to make good decisions, and feel confident that Kevin had everything under control. He was proactive, and professional every step of the way.

As newlyweds, we each had unique goals for our first home together. Kevin adapted quickly to understand what would make us both happy. He sorted through the listings each day to present us the options we were looking for. Further, we appreciated how his preparedness, guidance, availability and fast action gave us the edge in obtaining the home we were looking for at a fair price. Consequently, we whole heartedly recommend Kevin Wilhelm as the best real estate agent you could hope to find!

Ben and Raika R.

Kevin Wilhelm is truly a Real Estate Professional! He is enthusiastic, dependable and very responsive to his clients. We had seen the way Kevin had worked on one of his previous listings in our Great Hills neighborhood, and we knew right away that he would be our choice when it came time to sell our home. He brought a professional designer by to offer suggestions to help enhance areas of our home, sent out postcards to neighboring areas to announce that our home was going on the market, and he even called into a real estate radio show to tell the audience about our home and the details of the open house event. He did a fantastic job and secured TWO offers during the first open house!

Kevin is also a wonderful photographer; he took some great pictures that really showcased our home for the websites and brochures. I have seen many other Realtors that just check in every once in a while and the info boxes attached to the sign go empty. Kevin is the type of Realtor that makes sure the box is always full! He is readily available if someone has a question or wants to see the house, and he kept us totally informed of all the many steps leading up to closing. He is knowledgeable of the computer and in creating websites and internet marketing....which is another plus. We would not hesitate to recommend Kevin Wilhelm to anyone who is in the market of selling a home! Kevin is the best!

It is with great appreciation that I write this letter of recommendation for my Austin Realtor - Kevin Wilhelm. I can't imagine having gone through the selling process with anyone but him. Being a distant seller from California, I found Kevin online and I put my full trust in him; he didn't let me down. I chose him because he was honest, friendly, hard working and knowledgeable. His professionalism, knowledge of the market, advice and marketing strategies all contributed to the successful sale of our home.

Kevin communicated with me often by phone and email which afforded us peace of mind knowing that he always had a watch on our property. He even staged it for me and was the project manager for all the work that needed to be done in order to sell the property. I have sold more than 20 properties and NEVER had a Realtor do the work that Kevin did! Kevin Wilhelm is a true professional and a cut above the rest. I cannot thank Kevin enough for all his efforts! The experience was truly a pleasurable one. Without reservation I whole heartedly recommend Kevin Wilhelm as your Austin Realtor.

Andrea S.

I met Kevin Wilhelm at an open house and was immediately drawn to his straight forward but non-aggressive manor. He was patient and thorough in explaining the process to a first time buyer and he was an advocate for me every step of the way. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kevin to my friends and family, or to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

Amy W.

Kevin Wilhelm is great to work with, and we highly recommend him! He's helped us with selling our home, buying a home and even leasing our investment property. With Kevin on your side, things just happen! He always finds a way to make your life easier. Many thanks to you Kevin!

Nari J.

I'd be more than happy to recommend Kevin Wilhelm! First of all, I want to point out that never in the period that I worked with Kevin did I think I was just in business with him - he acted more as a personal friend.

Personal care for his clients is one of his key strengths. We had moved away to Seattle after 3 months of putting our house on the market with Kevin in Great Hills. In our absence, Kevin made every effort to make sure my house was prepared for showing, getting the lawn manicured, getting expert comments on interior layout, etc. He bore with me during frustrating times by keeping his calm and answering all my questions. I'd definitely recommend him as a trustworthy real estate agent in the Great Hills area or in all of Austin!

Pia D.

Kevin did a great job in helping me find the perfect house based on my budget and criteria. As a first time home buyer, Kevin made the buying process fast and easy. He was patient and helpful throughout the whole process. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a Realtor in the Austin area.

Cindy H.

Kevin Wilhelm was without a doubt the best agent we have ever had work for us. We have moved over 12 times and this was our best move yet. I have a friend moving to Austin next summer and Kevin will get the referral. Awesome job Kevin! Thank You Very Very much!

John and Susan S.

We just relocated from Northern California to Austin and Kevin did an amazing job helping us find and buy our first home! Before we moved, we searched through hundreds of houses online and had daily e-mails and phone calls with Kevin to help us narrow down exactly what we were looking for. When we arrived in Austin he was immediately ready to take us around town to see houses. We found a home, and again, Kevin gave us his undivided attention in all the stages of buying. He is a really nice guy and he's really great to work with! Thanks Kevin, for making us feel at home in Austin!

Sarah and Jason J.

Kevin was a great asset to me during the process of purchasing my home. It was a situation where we needed to act quick and accurate to make the deal work and Kevin made it happen. I continue to work with Kevin in the process of purchasing investment property. Kevin has all the attributes that you would want in a Realtor. The main reason that Kevin will always be my Realtor is that his goal is to not just close real estate deals, its to look out after the best interest of his clients.
