When you're a first time buyer, there are LOTS of questions. Thanks Karen! -Her special touches. Post sale, Karen maintains a relationship with her clients. She adds her special touches in monthly letters about of events in my town and notifications of city deadlines and savings I should be aware of. Again, thank you Karen! -She put me in contact with a lender and home inspector that were amazing! Friendly people, offering, reasonable prices and again, people I can trust. I appreciated how I could ask these vendors lots of questions too and they never made me feel like a nuisance when asking so many. Overall, when I sell my home one day and buy my next home, I'll be reaching out to Karen Tabler. I not only gained a relator, but also a friend.

They say if you can't say something nice about somebody don't say anything at all. But then I…read morewouldn't be able to write anything about Kat Urquhart. Kat came into our lives by promising much but delivering a little. After not getting offers that we found sufficient for our home in Atlanta, we took it off the market. That's when Kat swooped in. We were leaning towards selling the home ourselves rather than working with another realtor, but Kat promised that her unique marketing methods and strategies would result in a "revolving door" of interested buyers who would soon be trying to outbid one another. She promised she would get us a price "$30 or $40k above our minimum". Since we had a second house that we planned to sell the following year, we negotiated a discounted 2.65% commission on both homes. Then the problems started. While we focused on selling the first property, she kept pushing us to get the second house ready for staging long before we planned. We told her our timeline required that we sell the first house and then use some of the proceeds to paint and prep the second house, but she kept pushing and pushing. When my wife wrote her an email asking for her to back off and be professional, she ignored the email for 12 days. In the meantime, she kept up with her self-serving demands about getting the second home ready - she wanted it painted, new carpets installed, and it be made ready for photos by mid-December. We told her that we couldn't do that, but she kept pushing us. More stress wasn't what we signed up for. During this time we were still trying to sell the first house. Despite Kat's "marketing efforts" - she shared the listing on her personal Facebook and LinkedIn and put it on MLS - we were not seeing the "revolving door of interested buyers" coming to the first house. Maybe it was the lack of signs leading anyone to it? Anyway, we were disappointed that we only had 6 or 7 showings over a three-week span. When we questioned why it was so low, she said that 6 or 7 was "quite a good number of showings" but the reason we didn't get any offers, was because it was priced too high. Given the number we picked a number that she recommended, we were annoyed. We feared she was going to low-ball us. Coincidentally, an offer came in for that absolute minimum price we told her we could accept. She insisted this offer was the best we'd get, so we should take it. Reluctantly we did, but we told her that we would not be using her for our other sale. She didn't take that well. She threatened us with lawsuits, telling us that her brokerage had "thousands of lawyers". We didn't blink. The second house had never been listed on MLS nor had it been "promoted" on her social media. It wasn't even staged! So we said no. Instead we agreed to revert the commission on the first house to 3%, in exchange for her going away and having nothing further to do with us. She then had the audacity to send us a proposed agreement stating that she would cease all efforts to sell the second home, but if we sold it within 90 days, she would still get her 3% commission on the second house. We said no, and we got our lawyer involved. After more bat-sh*t craziness we eventually got her to go away. But not before she tried to have us pay our lawyer to draft a non disclosure agreement that would protect Kat from us writing an honest review. Seriously! She honestly expected that we would pay our lawyer to cover her arse! So I reminded her that she still had those thousands of legal-eagles at the ready at her brokerage, so she could ask them for for one. She dropped that idea soon after, which is why I am able to tell you the truth about our experience with Kat Urquhart. Trust us. Kat is only looking out for her interests - not yours. She is a bottom feeding liar who will talk a great game before selling your house for a low price. The commission she gets from a $500,000 sale is almost as much as for a $530,000 sale. She not really going to fight for that top dollar because she's making good money either way!

She helped me through the process to figure out the sell as is and the do the work options. She even gave me some contacts to do the work to help make the decision.

Kat was easy to work with from getting all the paperwork ready, offering quick and easy options for signing and submitting it to ensure it didn't hold anything up. Super personable, super flexible, and gave me the comfort I needed to move on and feel good about the sale. All around great experience and would recommend to anybody!

We had a very good experience. As one reviewer mentioned, they literally have everything you could need connections wise to help you throughout the process. Don't have a lender? No problem, they can make great recommendations. Don't have an inspector? No problem, they can recommend one. The process of buying a home especially the time we did, the market was extremely competitive. Homes were easily having at least 10 offers at a time, so how can you stand out. We were able to close on a house within a little over a month of starting our home search. We worked with Caitlin and she was absolutely fantastic! I would recommend Kelly+Co without a second thought. If I ever did have to sell a house, I'd use them. I love the convenience of everything they have to offer. Their office is really cute as well :). We were able to close on a house within about a 2 month time frame from when we initially had our first meeting and started looking at homes.

I have and will always recommend her to my friends and family and call her the second I need to sell or buy.

I can say, with 100% certainty, that hiring Katie and her team as "our friends in real estate" was…read moreeasily one of the best decisions I have made in a very long time. My husband and I recently relocated to Georgia from Florida and were ready to purchase our first home - yep in this market. I reached out to Katie to put some feelers out as I did with a few other agents in the area. After one conversation with Katie I canceled all my other calls with other agents. Katie put my husband and I at ease about our reluctance to even pursue a home at this time considering how crazy the market was. She paired us up with Tori, and mentioned she thought Tori would be a great match. Katie was right. Tori is an absolute rockstar and was a dream to work with. She is warm, friendly, knowledgeable, and so supportive. She gave us such great advice and was always able (and willing) to answer all of our questions - which there were plenty. Tori never pushed us to make decisions and was so sweet and compassionate the entire time. We had quite an exhausting search, and I was emotionally on a roller coaster for several months. Every single time I was feeling really low, Tori had some sort of spidey-sense and would call me and make me feel so much better. Despite how relieved I was to have finally have one of our offers accepted, I would be lying if I said there was a big part of me that was not sad when it ended. So while I can say Tori was absolutely successful in equipping us with the tools we needed to secure our first home, I am more bummed I don't get to see her and chat on a regular basis anymore. Tori played such an instrumental role in our lives the last few months and we will be indebted to her for as long as we can remember. I truly cannot speak any more highly of Katie and her entire team. You are truly doing yourself a disservice by using anyone else to buy or sell your home. We are actually looking forward to all of our future real estate endeavors because we get to work with our new friends again. When Katie says her and her team will be "your friends in real estate" she really does mean it and absolutely delivers. Fantastic at what they do and so sweet, knowledgeable, and compassionate the entire way. Truly just a team of really fantastic humans. I feel truly blessed and fortunate to have found Katie and her team and to have had the opportunity to work with them. I can assure you, Katie's team will not disappoint. Don't sign a brokerage agreement with anyone else!

Unfortunately, our experience fell short at the moments that mattered most. On a recent home we…read morewere ready to compete for, we were told we would have a chance to beat other offers -- we had spoken with our financing contact and were prepared to go well above our original number. That opportunity never came. Our own financing contact had to reach out at the end of the night because we were still waiting, and we learned the home was already under contract. Losing to a stronger offer is part of buying a house and we understand that. What was hard was being assured we'd have a chance to compete, and then finding out the decision had already been made. We also originally started working together based on connections and local knowledge in a specific neighborhood. When we shifted our search to a different area, that expertise didn't carry over, and we ended up finding the neighborhood we settled on ourselves. We wanted to share our honest experience for other buyers -- especially first-time families -- who are relying heavily on their agent to guide them through a stressful, high-stakes process. We'd encourage others to confirm deadlines and key details in writing along the way.

We were an out-of-state client, so it took a leap of faith on both parties to work together to make our dream home happen... and boy did she get us our dream home! I don't normally write reviews, and I am doing so because she is just that fantastic. She virtually showed us a lot of houses, and each one she showed us, Brenda demonstrated such expertise and knowledge regarding what is good and bad about each property. She wasn't just eager to sell us a home and be done with it, but she wanted to ensure we found our dream home at the best and fairest price possible. Brenda is not afraid to advocate for her clients and make sure they are well taken care of. House hunting with her was like going on an adventure with a friend, and didn't feel like an agent/client transaction. She is fair, honest, and professional by all definitions of the word, and I would eagerly refer her to any friend who wanted to move to the area.

When my husband…read moreand I found ourselves ready to move back to the Atlanta area, I reached out to Christi via text and had a response within minutes that was super helpful and eager to help! Within just a few days we were looking at houses based on what worked for our schedule. We had just had a baby and lived 2 hours away, so our schedule was not easy to accommodate. This was our second time working with Christi and The Key Group. The first was when we sold our home to leave Atlanta, which was also a flawless and enjoyable process! This time we worked primarily with Becky who was phenomenal. Having never met Becky before, I felt like I had known her for years. She was personable, timely, and available when we had questions. She was constantly checking on me and our baby as we were in the early days of little to no sleep and were exhausted. It truly made me feel cared for as a person, before a client. Becky did a fantastic job ensuring we had all our timelines organized throughout the process. She was thorough in getting us comparisons of nearby homes and made sure we were paying a fair price. In addition, she went above in beyond in coordinating the home inspection and subsequent requests for repair. We were very grateful for this level of detail. We couldn't ask for a better experience and will always use Christi and her team. We can't recommend them enough and not only will you enjoy your time with these business professionals, but you might just find yourself making good friends along the way!

Starting with Zoom video showings, until half of our family relocated to GA, and were able to see homes in person in the late winter/early spring. Christi and her team made sure to set up appointments/showings within minutes of us showing interest in a home. Christi made herself available at any time. I felt embarrassed texting her late at night, but she welcomed any form of communication day or night. Despite this crazy market, in the middle of a pandemic, and our reluctance/hesitation after several rejected offers, Christi and her team stayed incredibly positive and continued to encourage us to do the same. She always reminded us, "you will end up in the home you were meant to be in." She not have been more correct. Since we spent several hours together, Christi and her team felt more like family, than anything else. More importantly, Christi and her team makes you feel like family. They were genuinely concerned about what our needs were in a home, and offered great advise, counsel, and made sure to point out things we may not have considered while showing homes. After almost 6 months of viewing 60+ homes, rejections, frustrations, and almost considering settling, we found a home that checked all the boxes, and then some! With her teams relentless persistence, and positive energy, we were finally able to relax and proud owners of our new home. I would highly recommend anyone looking to buy/sell their home to work with Christi's team. On top of all of that, she hosts wonderful events for current/past clients in which we were able to enjoy drinks, food and desserts. I will miss our late night texts, our Friday night date night showings. I wish Christi and the team nothing but success, and I am sure we will meet again soon :) Love you all!
