Kevin Haines

Get To Know Me

With over 32 years of experience calling Austin home, Kevin has established himself as a trusted real estate expert throughout the city. While he is widely recognized as a premier listing agent for those looking to sell, he is equally passionate about working with buyers to secure their ideal property. Whether you are navigating your first purchase or listing a long-time family residence, Kevin’s down-to-earth approach ensures that the entire process is smooth, transparent, and successful.
 

Kevin grew up on his family's cattle ranch in western South Dakota. His journey to real estate began in 1989 when he joined the U.S. Army and was stationed at Fort Hood, Texas. After his service, he moved to Austin in 1992, studying business at Austin Community College and the University of Texas before spending a decade in management with HEB. His personal experience buying his first home at age 24 sparked a lifelong passion for the industry, leading him to earn his real estate license in 2002. Since then, he has become a member of the National Association of REALTORS®, the Austin Board of REALTORS®, and the Texas Association of REALTORS®. As a US Army veteran and member of the VFW, he brings a disciplined, down-to-earth, and honest approach to his work that his clients deeply value.

Kevin has called Barton Hills home since 2008 and possesses specialized, "boots-on-the-ground" knowledge of Austin’s most iconic neighborhoods. His expertise spans Barton Hills, Zilker, Travis Heights, Bouldin Creek, Westlake, and Lost Creek, as well as the entirety of Central, North Central, East, West, and South Austin. He stays at the forefront of market trends and is known for being a tireless advocate who is never too busy to answer a client's question.

When he isn’t negotiating deals, Kevin is an active part of the community he serves. He lives in Barton Hills with his two daughters, and you’ll often find him hiking the Barton Creek Greenbelt, gardening, or visiting Zilker Park. He is a fan of Austin originals like Loro, Black Sheep Lodge, Easy Tiger, and the Alamo Drafthouse. He enjoys spending his weekends exploring quirky Austin shops like Uncommon Objects or Far Out Fittings. Whether you are looking to move in or move on, you can put Kevin’s three decades of local experience to work for you.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Kevin exceeded my expectations in his skill, wisdom, compassion, honesty, flexibility, and patience in handling the sale of my mother's home while I was 2000 miles away. I would gladly write an extremely long review listing all the ways he helped, but that would take too much space, so I will only say that if the house you plan on selling is within Kevin Haines’ working area, you want this guy as your ag...

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Kevin was amazing to work with. He went (way) above and beyond any expectations for a listing agent. We had a particularly complicated situation and he handled it graciously and incredibly generously. Honestly, I don't know what we would have done without him. Happy to dive into more detail if it's helpful but I am so grateful to have worked with Kevin.

— Sara R.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

We received excellent service and advice from Kevin. I’m satisfied with the time-on-the market it took to sell our property. Not happy with the market downturn, but Kevin says I can’t blame that on him. Kevin was very helpful with helping us get maintenance and repairs done. I’m satisfied that we got a fair sale price in today’s market and glad to have this behind me.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

For anyone selling their home in the Austin area, I cannot say enough about how professional, effective and helpful Kevin Haines of Realty Austin is. I could not have selected a better agent. He handled all the "readying to sell" processes, appropriate pricing and my house was sold in less than 30 days, at the price I wanted. Five stars.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Kevin was fantastic. He was always straightforward, let us know what to expect at multiple turns, was accessible or made sure someone else was, advised us very well, and did whatever needed to be done to remove obstacles. He was an enormous help in this process, and we are so glad we had his help and followed his excellent advice!

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

We interviewed a number of realtors from many agencies. We had a well-developed vision of the sale of our properties in Westlake Hills, but they seemed to not be listening! We found Keven through a friend's reference, and he got it! We used his experience to validate our initial price estimate, and the properties are sold at a price about 150% of what some other agents had roughly estimated, and we moved...

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

I have nothing but positives to say about Kevin. We are out-of-state owners which made the sale of our home in Austin more difficult. I had made contact with several Real Estate agents in Austin before I found Kevin. He particularly stood above the others due to his commitment to solving the particular problems we faced in getting the house ready for sale. He offered that commitment during our first conv...

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

I have started recommending Kevin to my various and numerous contacts in fact he just listed a property for one of my friends from W...
