Listing your home does not stop when you sign the listing agreement; that’s when my job starts. You, my client, come first. I will be accessible to you, I will listen to your needs and concerns, and most importantly, I WILL GET YOUR HOME SOLD! Sally Contess, Realtor/Transaction Coordinator: Whether you buy or sell your property with The Brad Kuhns Realty Group, chances are you will speak to Sally. In addition to being Mr. Kuhns’ personal assistant, Sally asks as a liaison between the title company, lender, client and agent to make certain that all tasks are completed in a timely manner to provide a smooth transaction. Sally is also a licensed realtor and has been with The Brad Kuhns Group since 2006.

Pam Jones, Realtor/REO Coordinator: Pam is a lifetime Floridian with roots in South Florida. She worked with a National Construction firm doing site development and heavy highway construction throughout Brevard County and Central Florida for the last twenty-five years. This exposure to the area, government agencies as well as private developers has enhanced her Real Estate experience. Pam works primarily on our REO’s (bankowned properties). Working closely with the banks, Pam monitors the property from the moment the bank assigns to the property to our group until it is sold.

Chantal Conklin, Realtor: Chantal was born and raised in Montreal, Canada and is fluent in both French and English. In 2002, her husband's job transfer brought her to Brevard County. She became a real estate investor and manages several investment properties. Chantal has worked as a full-time realtor since 2004.

Client Testimonials “My wife and I had an outstanding experience with Brad Kuhns! We found him to be warm, relational, caring, accessible, honest, professional and full of financial integrity. I can say a lot about him, but the bottom line is: HE SELLS HOUSES! Brad sold our home in 60 days in a terrible economy. We would use him again and can recommend him without hesitation or reservation!

Troy Dobbs, Former Senior Pastor “We can give the Kuhns Group our unqualified recommendation because they earned it. Brad and his staff went the extra mile for us by proactively solving problems in a difficult real estate market at a difficult time of the year. The Kuhns Group overcame a number of obstacles to meet the goals we had set. We give Brad and his staff five stars for communications, attention to detail, anticipating problems, solving problems, and knowledge of the real estate market.

We believe it would be hard to find a better broker to represent us. We give high praise to Brad for his knowledge and experience, his effective support staff, and his continuous personal involvement. Brad is a deal maker, not just a guy interested in collecting as many MLS listings as possible.

Art & Rita Cominio “The Kuhns Group does an exceptional job from start to finish…they do know Brevard! Being based in Canada is a challenge, but Brad and Sally did a great job keeping us informed and updated. We closed very smoothly on a condo three-thousand miles away thanks to the team at The Kuhns Group.”

Dan Smith, Toronto Canada “Not only do they go above and beyond what is expected of them, they ensure a smooth, friendly transaction every time! Thanks again, Brad! We look forward to our next transaction."

Ray & Linda Ankrom "Extraordinaire! Brad goes well beyond the normal parameters of a Realtor/Broker. His knowledge of the industry is unparallel, his integrity, patience and gift of communication is unique...Brad is the very best."

Christina Beaulieu “Sally Contess and Brad Kuhns provided professional and caring attention to my search and to the practical details of getting started in a new community. From beginning to closing, the Kuhns Real Estate Group made the search and selection process a very positive experience. Thanks again, Sally and Brad."

Jerry Keneally “I recommend using Brad Kuhns if you are interested in selling your home. He is knowledgeable, responsive, provides good advice and gets results. We sold our home in less than 30 days after listing it with Brad! He had our home listed for sale online and with a sign in front within 24 hours of getting the listing. He provided very good advice on pricing the home, educating me as to why my home was worth more or less than others on the market or recently sold. He updated me regularly on who had toured the home and the interest level expressed. He ensured that the buyers had the funds to purchase our home so as not to waste my time. You could not ask for a better agent.”
