Howdy Friends!
I’m Kevin, a Fort Worth Real Estate Agent since 2016.
I come from a long line of farmers, and I grew up helping fix everything that was broken around the farm, from tractors to home repairs. In 2014 my Dad and I took on the “holy grail” of projects - we renovated the 124-year-old Victorian farmhouse my great great grandparents built. This was the moment I decided to pursue my Real Estate license and dedicate my career to helping people with home ventures that could also be passed down for generations to come.
As I reflect on why I chose Real Estate, I realize it’s because I can help change people’s lives for the better through this career. Skip below to read about one of the most incredible stories I’ve gotten the chance to be a part of.

MATT & MANDi’s Story
In 2021, an incredible couple, Matt and Mandi, reached out for help finding and purchasing a small ranch, a dream they’d both had (but particularly Mandi) for a long time. I helped them find and purchase the ranch they’d dreamed of for their family of 7.
Little did we all know, Mandi would pass away later that next year. But she got to live the last year accomplishing something she was so joyful and passionate about.
Life is short, and tomorrow isn’t promised.
It’s opportunities like seeing Mandi live out her dream, teaching her 5 kids how to raise chickens on their ranch, that keep me in this business.
It’s my goal to be your guide throughout the process, whether you’re Looking for your first home or your forever home.

Vendors I Trust
Nothing is better than a personal recommendation
Relationships are everything in this industry, and working with the right (or wrong!) vendors can make or break your transaction. From home inspectors to title agents, I have a list of people and companies I recommend my clients to partner with throughout their process.
FAQs
How do I get started?
The best place to start is by having a consultation with a real estate professional and coming up with a game plan. Many times my clients will reach out 3-12 months before making a real estate decision to come up with a plan. This is a free consultation where we talk about what the most strategic real estate move for you could be.
Is now the right time to buy / sell?
The answer is, it depends. It depends what your needs are. Questions like, how long will you stay in the house? if you sell where will you going to go? How much equity do you have in the property? Generally speaking, we all know that the market goes up and down, but generally an upward trend. I think most importantly, it’s not timing the market correctly, but rather, how much time you have in the market that matters. I’ve seen many people sit on the sidelines waiting for the perfect timing
Do I need a 20% down payment to buy my first home?
Absolutely not! Most first time home buyers use a FHA loan requiring 3.5% down payment. Even certain areas of DFW qualify for a 0% down payment USDA loan.
How long does the process take?
When buying, my clients normally view homes for between 2-4 weeks before going under contract and closing & possession 30-45 days later. I normally recommend people giving themselves 70-90 days for the entire process.
When selling, I recommend having a consultation earlier, rather than later. This will give us time to run reports to correctly estimate how long it will take before your home sells in the current market. Each neighborhood is a different market resulting in a different timeline to sell your home
