Blackstone Realty Associates

Kevin was awesome! As a first time buyer I was not very knowledgeable about the home buying process. In fact my knowledge base was pretty limited to home buying shows on popular cable TV networks. Kevin was there every step of the way to keep me abreast of next steps and to answer any questions that I had. We have one small hiccup (miscommunication) but you better believe Kevin rectified the situation immediately. I will definitely be working with Kevin when purchasing and homes moving forward!

This was my fifth home purchase and I've never gone from searching to settlement with such open, fluid communication (phone calls, emails, texts) between my realtor (Kevin) and my Massachusetts-based mortgage team. Kevin kept things moving and worked to get me the best deal on my FIRST choice home!

Amazing. I couldn't have asked for anything better. Kevin used a professional photographer, created a beautiful spread of pictures to advertise, and we had an offer at list price within two days. He also got me in touch with local contractors to help fix up any items that came up on the home inspection. I was able to close on the house within 30 days. I highly recommend Blackstone Realty.

Kevin provided superb realty support. With all the stress of military retirement Kevin ensured all of our concernes were addressed and got right to work lining up showings and getting an offer at asking price in 6 days!

· Kevin did a tremendous job guiding us through a difficult settlement process after accepting an offer to sell our house. Despite hitting bizarre roadblocks, such as a seemingly incompetent appraiser, who deemed our large, modern, covered patio in excellent condition to have a value of NEGATIVE $9000 (she actually lowered the appraised value of the house due to the patio!); Kevin acted as a highly composed and rational mediator as well as negotiator. Kevin displayed a great ability to understand the psychological component of the process. For example, when settlement was delayed due to issues associated with the buyers getting loan approval, he counselled us to avoid panicking and legally voiding the contract- ultimately his judgement proved correct when we reached settlement successfully. Kevin has great knowledge of the legalities of real estate as well as a teacher like ability to simplify jargon and complex concepts, hence alleviating seller's concerns. Finally, Kevin offers his services for an attractive commission, which allows sellers a superior financial outcome to all other realtors that I am aware of. I Highly recommend Kevin Blackstone!

He is extremely knowledgeable in the industry and has the right connections to make a positive experience. His patience throughout my buying and selling scenarios guarantees that I'll be working with Kevin for any and all future realtor needs. He knows what he is talking about.

Kevin Blackstone helped us to purchase our recent home. He is very personable and responsive. He was knowledgeable about the market and guided us through every step of the process. We HIGHLY recommend Kevin's services to anyone wishing to purchase or sell their home!

In 2012 Kevin helped me find and purchase my first home in Virginia and I could not have been happier. When it came time to sell my home, once again I called upon Kevin. He went above and beyond to make my selling experience as painful as possible which we all know at times can be extremely stressful. Kevin is easy to work with, friendly and extremely knowledgeable of the real estate market. He was always available and constantly followed up and kept me on track with the entire process. I never had to worry that something was going to slip through the cracks. Kevin always kept my best interest at the top of the priority list. I appreciated Kevin's honesty, professionalism, preparedness, enthusiasm and patience. I would definitely call upon Blackstone Realty and the expertise of Kevin for my future home sale/purchase as well as highly recommend him. As a side, awesome sign!! Thank you Kevin, you are truly the best! Kevin E.

This was my first home buying and selling experience, my husband's second. Kevin represented us for both transactions. He was organized and professional every step of the way, always presenting his best self to us as well as the buyers and sellers with whom we were negotiating. Kevin's priority is his client's best interest -- he will always make the time to clarify questions and make sure you are aware of your rights as a buyer, a seller, or both. The process was a long one for us but Kevin was patient and pleasant the entire time. He provides direction as needed and advises the best next steps for you. You're not just getting a realtor with Kevin, but someone who guides and protects you throughout. Not only does Kevin know the industry, and maintains outstanding connections (multiple companies who we worked with along the way -- including our lender and our inspector -- reached out to Kevin to work with him after our contract had ended, which says a lot about his work ethic, industry knowledge and acumen). But he also knows a lot about the infrastructure of a home, and will mention any concerns or positives about the home/s you tour, to help you better figure out what's most important, most comfortable and/or the safest decision for you and your family. We just closed on our home in December of 2015, and we couldn't be happier. We found the perfect home for us - and it was very much attributed to Kevin's diligence, persistence and direction that we made this decision. He represented us every step of the way and it absolutely made all the difference, down to the detail.
