Hi, I’m Kevin
I help people buy and sell homes at The Peninsula on the Indian River Bay. I’ve been a business owner and real estate investor for 40 years, so I know that buying or selling a home is a big decision. It should also be an exciting one. My job is to make it simple, honest and stress-free.
I live here on the Delaware coast too. My wife Fran and I came to the beach area looking for a home of our own, and we know how it feels to fall in love with a community. Our dog George would tell you the beach is the best part.
Why The Peninsula?
The Peninsula is one of a kind in Sussex County: a gated community on the Indian River Bay with a Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course, a private bay beach, a 225-acre nature preserve, and a club with pools, dining and fitness. It’s also a community with a lot to understand before you buy: HOA fees, neighborhood fees, and three club membership levels.
I built this website to be the clearest guide to The Peninsula you’ll find. My goal is simple: no surprises. You’ll know the true cost of owning here before you make an offer.
How I Help Buyers
As your buyer’s agent, I work for you, not the seller.
- Explain the real monthly cost of each home: HOA, condo fees, club dues and taxes
- Show you the neighborhoods and home styles that fit your plans
- Help you decide which club membership fits your life, including rental plans
- Negotiate the best price and terms, and guide you from inspection to closing
How I Help Sellers
As your listing agent, I show buyers the whole Peninsula lifestyle, not just your square footage.
- A free, honest home value based on recent Peninsula sales
- Marketing that shows off the bay, the golf course and the club
- Help with HOA resale papers and the club membership transfer
- Clear communication from listing to closing
How We Get Started
Delaware has a few steps before we work together, and I’ll walk you through each one in plain English:
- We review the Delaware Consumer Information Statement. It explains the different roles an agent can play.
- Buyers sign a buyer agency agreement. Sellers sign a listing agreement.
- Then we start touring homes, or get your home ready for the market.

I’m a member of The Beach Quest Group, led by Joe and John Cusato, and my broker is Terri Knauer of Samson Properties. That gives my clients a full team and a regional network behind every sale. But when you call, you get me.
