The Legacy of Kerwin’s Real Estate Agency

Kerwin’s Real Estate Agency has been serving the Beloit area since 1950, across three generations of Kerwins. We’re the oldest family-owned and family-operated Real Estate company in Rock County, celebrating 75 years of serving the area and now expanding throughout most of Rock and Green counties.

Aaron Kerwin

Aaron attended Marquette University during the Great Depression on a football scholarship. After graduating, he returned to Beloit and worked as a salesman for Wisconsin Power & Light and Warner Electric. He later transitioned to selling life insurance for Franklin Life.

During his time in insurance, Aaron developed a keen interest in real estate and established Kerwin’s Agency in 1950. He dedicated many years to the business alongside his beloved wife, Harriet Kerwin, who served as the first Executive Secretary of the Beloit Board of Realtors, Inc. Harriet managed the MLS from the very same office that Kerwin’s Real Estate Agency, Inc. continues to occupy today in Beloit’s Historic Westside District.

Kevin Kerwin

Kevin attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the late 1960s. In 1972, he became the second generation of Realtors at Kerwin’s Real Estate Agency and took on the role of Broker in 1982. His strong work ethic, influenced by his father Aaron, was a cornerstone of his career.

Kevin consistently stayed up-to-date with the evolving real estate industry, embracing state-of-the-art technology to help grow the business into the new millennium. He has also dedicated many years of service on both the Local and State Realtor Board of Directors.

Neil Kerwin

A lifelong native of Beloit, Neil attended the University of Wisconsin – Whitewater, where he began his career in real estate as a staff appraiser for a Madison-based firm. While managing appraisal orders from his dorm room, he decided to obtain his salesperson’s license that same year. Neil joined the agency as an Associate in 1998 and became the Broker in 2017. In 2015, he was honored as the Rock-Green Realtor of the Year and has served on the Board of Directors for the Rock-Green Realtors Association for many years.

As the 3rd generation Broker of the oldest family-owned and operated real estate company in Rock County, Neil builds upon the strong foundation established by his family. His passion for real estate and commitment to the community drive him to leverage his knowledge and experience, ensuring that the family tradition at Kerwin’s Real Estate Agency Inc. continues to thrive.

The first Kerwin in Beloit, Wisconsin was Rhody Kerwin in the mid 1800’s. Born in 1824, he became a sea captain from Queens county, near Belfast, Ireland. When Rhody immigrated to the United States, he landed his ship in New York. After selling his ship, he migrated to Beloit. Rhody was Beloit’s first night watchman. He would patrol the downtown merchants’ stores. He had 4 sons and a daughter and lived on “Culley Hill” which is currently the same neighborhood Kerwin’s Real Estate Agency Inc is located!

One of Rhody’s sons was John Kerwin who worked for the railroad. John had 2 sons and a daughter. One of his sons was Aaron R. Kerwin. Aaron’s father, John, died when Aaron was just 11 years old. Aaron’s only brother, Tom, was 22 years older than him and so became Aaron’s father figure. Tom Kerwin and Aaron’s mother ran the Kerwin’s Grocery Store on 8th St. near Shriland Ave. in Beloit.
