“Breaking the Ice”…with Kevin McBride

This week we get to know Kevin McBride. Kevin has been a member of the Parks Title Team for nearly three years and serves as our Director of Business Development, supporting, managing and leading the growth of our Local Retail business. In addition, he has his own set of clients mainly in Southeast Michigan.

Kevin, his wonderful wife, Tina, and their two kids, Grant, 15, and Claire, 14, are residents of Shelby Township. His favorite ways to spend his free time are hanging out with his family and friends, reading, and sports, especially golf.

Kevin continually impresses his clients with his exceptional customer service, and in December he was awarded the honor of the Women’s Council of Realtors 2014 Affiliate of the Year from their Birmingham-Bloomfield Chapter. Mark Webberly, a client of Kevin’s, recently had this to say about him:

“Kevin McBride is the consummate professional.  He is very well respected!  Kevin is always there for you and your customer.  He has answered his cell phone at night and on weekends when needed. 

We had a signing on a Saturday as a favor for a customer with a very busy schedule. Kevin answered his phone knowing it was important to the client that Saturday while sitting in the stands at his son’s baseball game. We just wanted to make sure that they were ready for us at the Royal Oak office.  His team at Parks Title respect him and made this convenience because of this respect. 

I am so honored to be able to call Kevin a resource, and a friend. Ask anyone in our industry about Kevin, and you will find that he ranks above the rest with his customer service, caring nature and professionalism.”

In addition, Kevin is an extremely dedicated, energetic and well-respected leader of his team. Parks Title Sales Team member, Sarah Snow, (who will be profiled later this month), had this to say about working with Kevin: “Working with Kevin is non-stop positivity. He is one of the most important parts of the inner-workings of Parks Title. He’s full of knowledge, he’s supportive, and he is why I am successful myself. He’s why 2015 will be so successful!!”
