Kevin Livesey
Associate BrokerIn order to best help a client, I believe a real estate broker must be comfortable wearing many kinds of shoes. Construction shoes are used around building sites, so clients can be comfortable asking construction questions and can rely on the broker’s knowledge of buildings. The broker should also own, say, a pair of polished wing-tips so he can explain and act on the intricacies of the real estate transaction from preparing an offer to settlement and finally a pair of comfortable favorites that have a bit of wear.
I’ve lived on the Main Line for over thirty years so I know the area pretty well. During that time I’ve helped many clients as their attorney in real estate matters and in litigation. It is beneficial to be able to best prepare the agreement of sale and explain the detailed 13 page agreement. Clients are often reassured knowing that a lawyer is handling the transaction through settlement as clients may have concerns about title, easements and property restrictions, title insurance exceptions, and many other things.
In addition to helping the clients through the process and anticipating and avoiding problems, my job is also to make sure that the process goes as smoothly as possible while protecting the clients’ interests.
Finally, having developed homes on the Main Line has allowed a knowledgeable response to building questions. Our number one priority is not necessarily to close the deal but always to ensure the best interests of our clients.

Buyer‟Kate and Kevin were absolutely wonderful to work with during our first home-buying experience. Our good friends recently used Kevin and Kate when purchasing a home on the main line and recommended them very highly. We couldn’t agree more with their recommendation! We were so pleased with the services they provided when it was our turn to buy a home … . When we found a house that we loved (which also happened to be very popular with other potential buyers), Kate and Kevin dropped their weekend plans to show us the property and to help us put together a competitive offer. They were available to answer a million questions and provided ample guidance during what could have been a very stressful situation! It truly felt like a good friend or family member was helping us throughout the process.In addition, when we were concerned about the potential cost of new windows on our home, they had their friend who was a contractor look at our house and give us advice on how to fix the windows as cost-effectively as possible. Since then, they have been wonderful at keeping in touch and have provided us with numerous recommendations and advice. They are truly great people and we will definitely be recommending them to anyone looking to buy in the area” Read More ▾

Buyer‟We were moving from New Hampshire to be closer to our family and when our home sold in NH we had to move quickly. Our daughter got to know Kate and Kevin as the sellers agent on their home purchase last year. They were most helpful and handled all aspects of the transaction in a very competent way. We therefore were confident that these same skills … would work for us and they did. They have an excellent knowledge of the mainline communities and have had extensive experience working with trades to upgrade and renovate properties. As lawyers they also quickly and flawlessly organized closing details for us when we were still in NH. We are very happy living in our current Villanova home only two miles from grandchildren. Kate and Kevin are both highly competent brokers and a real pleasure to work with. We highly recommend them to anyone considering a real estate transaction in the mainline area” Read More ▾
