Kevin Mackin, Realtor®

Every once in a while you get lucky in life. For us, it was the day we were introduced to Kevin Mackin. Kevin stood out above other realtors we met along the way, and we knew immediately a sense of trust. Kevin had great insight into what we were looking for and went to extraordinary measures to find us our perfect piece of paradise. Thanks to Kevin, we are living our fantasy, a new lifestyle we did not know even existed. When Kevin told us his job starts after the sale...he meant it...he is always a phone call away. 

From our first telephone call with Kevin Mackin to looking at properties, through closing in your Englewood office, to Mr. Mackin's follow-up service and kindnesses; our professional relationship with your office has been superb. As a lawyer and judge, I dealt with many real estate professionals. Bar none, Mr. Mackin is the best real estate professional we have ever seen. Words cannot convey how pleased we were to find Kevin Mackin, and we would recommend him without reservation to anyone buying or selling real estate. He is one of the rare "one-percent" for whom excellence is the only standard, and he is obviously the sole and toughest judge of his own performance. 

We recently purchased a home on Palm Island with the help of Kevin Mackin. We wanted to let you know how pleased we have been with how Kevin handled things. He is friendly, knowledgeable, thorough, understanding, trustworthy, and goes above and beyond to deliver great customer service. We also worked with his wife Charlene, who also possesses the same characteristics, when we rented a home earlier this year on Palm Island. Both Kevin and Charlene are great to work with, and we could not be more pleased.

I've known Kevin for over 17 years. He helped me sell some property on the south side of Palm Island and purchase the property I own in Colony Don Pedro. He is very personal, extremely knowledgeable concerning Palm Island properties, and easy to work with. I totally trust him in handling all matters connected with this transaction. Geary

We bought a house on Palm Island with Kevin's assistance and we couldn't be any more happy with the entire process and our home. Our purchase was over a year ago and we are just as pleased today as we were on the day we closed. Kevin is one of the most honest, hard-working, knowledgeable and helpful people I have ever met. He continues to be an invaluable source of knowledge and assistance to us. We are also fortunate enough to call him our friend, which is an added bonus!

My husband and I have bought and sold many properties and therefor worked with many real estate agents and Kevin Mackin is the best. He is hard working, professional, and yet relaxed all at the same time. He is extremely knowledgeable of the nuances of Palm Island real estate. He navigated us through a multi-offer situation and made our dream of owning Gulf front property come true.

Kevin is fabulous - so welcoming, warm and friendly, patient and understanding. Purchasing a home on Don Pedro/Palm Island was a big decision. However, Kevin's wealth of knowledge regarding all aspects of Palm Island/Don Pedro made that decision much easier. We are looking forward to spending a lot of time and making many cherished family memories on the Island.

Kevin was awesome. He was representing the sellers but took just as much interest in us as the buyers. I would use him again in a heart beat. We became more friends than just buying a home. We appreciate it very much and all your hard work and Knowledge Kevin. Thank you ! Joel & LeeAnn Slomkowski

We have worked with Kevin several times in buying and selling houses on Don Pedro Island, and can't say enough good things about our experiences. With decades of experience working on the island, he has a vast network of contacts and goodwill that ensures everything happens in a timely manner and with a minimum of stress to his clients. He consistently goes above and beyond expectations and manages every detail of the process of negotiations, inspections, and closing to ensure a smooth transaction. We have bought and sold many properties over the years in many different parts of the country, and Kevin is by far the best agent we have worked with. Because of its unique character, small size, and ferry-only access, the island real estate market is substantially different from that of surrounding areas in Placida and Englewood. Kevin works almost exclusively on the island, and has a deep understanding and excellent feel for everything about island real estate. He will be your best asset and "secret weapon" for any purchase or sale of a home on the island.

Kevin Mackin was diligent in sharing his efforts to sell our home on Palm Island and we appreciate this effort.

Kevin is absolutely the best in the business. He knows his business, knows the market and has a professional but relaxed demeanor. If you are buying on Palm Island he is an excellent choice.

Kevin was amazing from the first time we spoke. He worked with us for over 6 months to find the right house. He is very knowledgeable, guides you through every step and is pleasant to work with.Highly recommend.

Kevin is the realtor that everyone wants to have. We have known him for around 10 years and have bought/sold 2 houses with him. He is knowledgeable, responsive, wise, easy to talk to, honest, and an all-around quality person. If you are looking to buy/sell a place on Palm Island, FL, there is none better. Kevin knows everything about the island and has his finger on the pulse with regard to prices and opportunities. We also came away loving this man, who will be a friend for life.

My experience with Kevin was outstanding. From the beginning, when I listed my house, until the final papers were closed, Kevin went out of his way to help me in every way. He was always very professional and honest. I would recommend Kevin.

Kevin Mackin helped us buy and sell real estate for over 15 years on Palm Island. If you are seeking an honest, dedicated Realtor and friend, you can do no better than Kevin! His honesty and vast knowledge of both real estate and Palm Island assures you the best representation whether you are buying, selling or just seeking information. It comes as no surprise that Kevin Mackin is Palm Island's leading Realtor! 

We recently purchased a home on Palm Island. Kevin really made the entire process very easy for us, even after the sale he continues to be a HUGE help. His knowledge of Palm Island and everything that goes with owning a home there is priceless. We would give him 10 stars!

Now that we have closed on our new Palm Island home, we wanted to thank you very, very much for all your efforts. While we see ourselves as real estate veterans, we never could have navigated the unique waters on Palm Island without your deep knowledge of the market and your tireless efforts on our behalf. Thank you again and we look forward to many years as your neighbors "on island." 

Have nothing but good experiences with Kevin Mackin, and he so knowledgeable in his respected field. He gives his listings his full attention and shares his best professional advice to his clients. He looks out for your best interests and it's a pleasure to work with him and his team.

nothing pleases us more than to report that Kevin Mackin is without question the best realtor we have ever worked with. He has been handling all our transactions on Palm Island since our first visit.  He has gone WAY above and beyond to earn our respect, close deals with his extensive knowledge and persistence  ... and we are proud to say he has become a dear friend over the years.He is a credit to your organization and will always be our go-to person for real estate in the area ... and coincidentally, once again, we are under contract currently on our next purchases.  This would not have happened without his exceptional effort and drive.

Every once in awhile you get lucky in life. For us, it was the day we were introduced to Kevin Mackin by way of fellow agent, Michael Hollenbeck. You see, Michael knew we were sold on a nearby, mainland property in Grove City and stood to earn a sizable commission. But Michael sensed we wanted more: privacy, beach, adventure and old Florida feel. So Michael handed the baton to Kevin and off we were aboard "The Little House on the Ferry". Like Michael, Kevin stood out above other realtors we me along the way, and knew immediately a sense of trust. Kevin had great insight into what we were looking for and went to extraordinary measures to find us our perfect little piece of paradise. Finding the perfect home in Florida can be tricky...finding the perfect home on a private island: even trickier! But thanks to Kevin, we are living our fantasy...a new lifestyle we did not know even existed. We pinch ourselves everyday to just to make sure it is real. Living on a private island has it's challenges. When Kevin told us his job starts after the sale...he meant it...always just a phone call away. Yes, it is true. Every once in awhile you get lucky in life. Carrie & Jay M.

Kevin Mackin is BETTER than the best he is not a 5 star he IS a 10 STAR :~) You will not find a better Realtor or a nicer Person.

Kevin Mackin worked tirelessly during the whole selling process. No matter what the challenges were, Kevin never gave up. Many times we were tempted to give up and walk away, but he always worked through the issues and kept us on track. Kevin's professionalism and people skills are well known on Palm Island - he is often teased by residents who love to claim that he's the unofficial "mayor" of the community! Kevin truly goes beyond the call of duty and always gives 200% no matter what! We were thrilled to get our house sold.

We've known Kevin for many years but never needed him as an agent until recently. We couldn't have been more pleased. He went above and beyond to make the experience pleasant for the other agent and her client which helped sell the property. He also helped us immensely as we were selling from a distance and couldn't do many of the small things needed to empty a townhouse after 19 years. I can't think of a thing he could have done differently to make the transaction go more smoothly. We are extremely grateful to him and would highly recommend him to anyone.

He does a very good job !

I've worked with Kevin for many years and I will continue to do so. 5 stars

Kevin constantly displayed his knowledge of our unique island sale and any issues that needed to be addressed. Without Kevin, we would not have been as successful aelling our property. No one knows more about Don Pedro/Palm Island Estates as Kevin Mackin. We would highly recommend Kevin Mackin and Saunders Realty for any real estate sale or purchase. Becky and Mike Corbin

We met Kevin last spring as we started looking to purchase a home on the island. We learned quickly that Kevin is an invaluable asset to understanding real estate on the island and made the entire purchasing process as smooth as possible. Even more valuable is Kevin has become a great friend and doesn’t get weary with our endless texts and questions months after the purchase!

I would like to pass along our sincere thanks to Kevin Mackin, who did an outstanding job listening to our wants and needs and balancing that with a beautiful new home on Kettle Harbor.  Kevin was the consummate professional and did an amazing job for us! After the sale, he was even more helpful in connecting us with service providers in the area.

Working with Kevin Mackin has been an absolute pleasure, and I can't recommend him highly enough. His professionalism and expertise in the realm of real estate are truly exceptional. What sets Kevin apart is not just his broad knowledge of the industry, but his deep understanding of the intricacies of the Don Pedro Island market. My purchase was anything but straightforward, with numerous complexities surrounding my properties. However, Kevin's adept handling of the situation was nothing short of remarkable. He expertly guided me through every step of the process, seamlessly coordinating with other professionals as needed. His recommendations for subcontractors were invaluable, ensuring that every aspect of the transaction was handled with the utmost care and attention to detail. In short, Kevin's dedication, knowledge, and ability to navigate even the most challenging circumstances make him an invaluable asset to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate. I am incredibly grateful for his assistance and wouldn't hesitate to work with him again in the future. I have already recommended his services to another prospective buyer.

During our time on Palm Island we purchased and sold the same house with Kevin. Both experiences were amazing. He worked hard for us in both endeavors. he was a real estate agent at first and then became a true friend. I would highly recommend Kevin Machen as your real estate agent.

We want to thank you for all your help in selling our unit on Don Pedro Island.  Your input was very accurate. We also appreciated the professional and personal way that we were able to work with you over the years.  Thanks again for all your help.  Dick & Pat C.
