Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty is dedicated to bringing the highest level of service to today’s home buyers and sellers. This tradition continues with the recent addition of luxury Real Estate Advisor Kevin Julien to the Camelback Tower Office. Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty agents strive to deliver real estate experiences beyond expectations to enhance lifestyles for their clients, expanding their reputation as the most respected name in real estate.
Born and raised in London, England, Kevin Julien was a creative businessman from an early age. His love for music combined with a strong interest and acumen in business led to his undergraduate degree in Economics and studies of Music in college. Kevin maintained a dual career in real estate, managing his properties in the UK while working as a musician. In real estate, he rapidly built a portfolio of income-producing properties. Priding himself on treating people with the utmost respect and kindness and maintaining properties, he made sure he treated his as if the place they rented were their own homes; that they would feel love for where they lived and would look after their surroundings with pride.
In music, Kevin owned his own recording studio, where he worked as a record producer and remixer. He also toured as a keyboardist and taught music predominantly to children and young adults between the ages of 10 and 21. Kevin also made his mark in music education by participating in pioneering courses in the UK, such as “DJing for Ladies,” where he helped develop a system for young girls to participate in a historically male-dominated endeavor. He also worked as a Music Teacher in a particular school in the UK known as a “Pupil Referral Unit,” which provided music instruction to young children who faced behavioral challenges. Kevin also taught music to children and adults with learning challenges and helped to care for them to make their lives as fulfilling as possible. Music led to Kevin’s move from the UK to the US. An American Artist discovered one of Kevin’s unique re-mixes and tracked Kevin down to invite Kevin to Austin, TX, to participate in the South By Southwest (SXSW) music festival.
As an adventurous soul, Kevin jumped at the opportunity. On his second visit to Austin, he met the woman who became his wife, which led to his relocation to Phoenix. Kevin continued to work on his music projects but never gave up his love for real estate, managing his UK portfolio from across the pond. He got his real estate license in Arizona to continue acquisitions and building his portfolio here in the States. Due to his open and friendly personality, he was offered a position as a podcaster interviewing top real estate agents in the Phoenix Metro Area. It was while interviewing Brad Kimmelman, Team Leader of the Homanity Team at Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty, that Kevin’s life would take another fateful turn. Brad and Kevin immediately hit it off, resulting in Brad inviting Kevin to join his team. With his international knowledge and experience, Kevin now works with the Homanity Team to deliver clients expert real estate services with considerate, perceptive, flexible, and insightful care.
Kevin will make a phenomenal addition to our team at Camelback Tower. He’s kind, enthusiastic, and very eager to incorporate our branding to his business model. We couldn’t be happier to have him representing our brand!
