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!

She is also extremely communicative and on top of things through every step of the process and you navigate buying and selling simultaneously.

Leah went above and beyond the call of duty for me and my family. Not only did she expertly…read morenegotiate and secure a contract that we were very happy with on our dream home, but she also took a very proactive role in helping us to clear some challenging obstacles related to the sale of our home in a different state even though she wasn't handling that transaction. Every single time I felt the stress bubbling up, one phone call to Leah would calm my nerves and remind me that there was nothing to worry about because we were in the best possible hands. From our first showing to closing day and beyond, it was obvious that in addition to her extensive expertise, Leah is genuinely passionate about helping her clients enjoy a smooth and successful home-buying experience. I love how communicative and efficient Leah is. I never had to wonder what was going on because she always kept us in the loop and gave excellent advice throughout the whole process. She has a strong network of reliable contacts for anything you might need from inspectors to movers and everything in between. When logistical issues prevented us from physically making it to the closing on time, Leah jumped in and served as our surrogate by doing a video final walk-through for us and collecting the keys. She then met us at the house with a sweet arrangement of thoughtful gifts and a few essentials that came in very handy after a long day of traveling. Buying a home anywhere is a very stressful process. Buying a home hundreds of miles away from your hometown while trying to sell your current home and juggling the endless logistical challenges of a cross-state move makes regular home-buying stress seem like child's play. The most valuable lesson I learned in this whole process is that you should choose your realtor as carefully as you choose your future home because that one choice can play a huge role in whether your dream home becomes a reality or devolves into more of a nightmare. As I write this review sitting comfortably in my beautiful new home that likely would have slipped through my fingers had I chosen any other agent, I can assure you that Leah Akiki is the dream maker you need in your corner. There is no better real estate professional and nobody else I would ever consider using for my future real estate needs.

During a buying experience, Janice's agent delivered my terms and perspective to the selling agent with intelligence and she found an inconsistency that was extremely vital to us getting the best deal on the property. As a selling representative, I sold a condo in a tough market in 3 days for asking when there were many properties in the same building on sale for months. I never had to worry about a thing. It was a done, sign and go interaction and we received top dollar. I recommend Janice to everyone. She is a superstar. She can answer questions that are extremely nuanced and she cares about every client. It's a surreal gift. They represent professionalism, knowledge and reliability and you will be happy with your experience.

I would definitely recommend reaching out to Joanna.

She truly understands what it takes to get a home sold. Brandi is strategic, detail-oriented, and incredibly responsive throughout the entire process.

She values preparation, presentation, and teamwork, which makes a real difference in both the experience and the results. The listings we've worked on together have been smooth, well-managed, and successful. If you're looking for a realtor who is knowledgeable, dependable, and genuinely cares about doing things the right way, Brandi is someone I would absolutely recommend.

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.

What word comes to mind when I think of Connie Carlson? Wow…read more From the very first meeting, I felt that we "clicked" with Connie. She's open, honest, and direct-just how I like people to be. She gave us sound advice and guided us not only through the listing process but also guided us in what direction we should go with renovations to prepare our home for sale. The photos and 3D floorplan they did for our home were the best in the market. Truly. Connie was extremely patient and responsive to our many questions over the four-month period we worked with her. (It didn't take that long to sell the house, we had many weeks of renovations included in that time frame) Once the house was on the market, Connie sold our home within two months of listing-and that was during the height of COVID AND our home was very unique and difficult to find comps! Truly astounding work on Connie's part. We were thoroughly impressed. I promise you that if you want to sell your home quickly and for top dollar, Connie is the one to work with. She is a MASTER at her craft and you couldn't ask for a more warm-hearted, hardworking realtor to be on your team. P.S. We mostly worked with Connie Carlson, but Dan was fantastic too!
