Kelly was excellent to work with throughout the sale of our home. We interviewed several highly regarded agents before listing, and Kelly stood out immediately. She came to us with a thoughtful point of view, a clear strategy and specific and practical ideas about pricing, staging and marketing. We chose her because we felt she understood both our home and the market, and she ultimately exceeded our expectations. From our initial meeting through staging, photography, marketing and negotiations, Kelly gave us excellent advice and helped us make good decisions at every step. As we worked through multiple offers and counteroffers, we always felt that she had our best interests in mind. She was responsive, level-headed and a strong advocate for us throughout the process. She was especially valuable at the very end, when an unexpected issue with the staging company caused damage to the house just before closing. Kelly jumped in immediately, helped us navigate the situation and kept everything moving forward. Selling a home can have plenty of twists and turns, and Kelly was a great partner from beginning to end. We were very happy we chose her and would absolutely recommend herPosted on Google![]()

I can’t say enough wonderful words about working with Kelly! ❤️😃 From start to finish, she made the entire home buying process feel smooth, organized and far less stressful than I ever imagined. She is incredibly knowledgeable, responsive and truly cares about her clients!! She took the time to understand what I wanted (even while on vacation with her family!!), answered every question with patience and honesty and made me feel I was her top priority. Beyond being an exceptional realtor, she’s someone who genuinely invests in the people she works with. Her integrity, professionalism and warm personality made all the difference and I’m so grateful she helped me buy my townhouse!! I wholeheartedly recommend her!! You’ll be in excellent hands!! 🥰Posted on Google![]()

“Kelly is the queen of South Bay: very knowledgeable, great negotiator, realistic, and honest person. She also sold my daughter’s home when the market was tight. It helps in a tight market to have a person who has existing relationships. I have moved a lot and bought /sold over 25 houses. I rank her in the top 3 of the 50+ realtors we have dealt with. Would definitely use her again.”Posted on Google![]()

Kelly has been a great asset to us as buyers and sellers in the market. She has a keen eye for potential and has a wealth of knowledge in the South Bay market. We have used her services as a buyers and sellers and she’s excelled in both areas. She’s an amazing communicator and always easy to get a hold of. She is also a very strong negotiator and the type of agent that gets the deal across the finish line. She has strong relationships in the area that will help you get things done. I would gladly recommend her to any homeowner or investor looking for a home in the South Bay. We will certainly continue to have her in our corner as our agent.Posted on Google![]()

Kelly Evans is the BEST! I had the difficult task of selling my mom's outdated condo in PV and Kelly made it so much easier and less stressful for me. She is quick to respond, so efficient, so easy to work with, and she was hands-on the entire time (even helping me clean out and oversee the staging of the property). She also dealt with the difficult HOA and made sure we passed all inspections - I didn't have to talk to anyone which was great. There were other condos on the market on the same street but Kelly helped me sell our property much faster than the rest. I so appreciate her hard work and enjoyed every minute spent with her!Posted on Google![]()

Kelly Evans was a great realtor. Everything was done professionally and quickly. She was all business when the need was business and friendly when there was a need for smiles. My sister got along with her great! Kelly had great suggestions and deployed resources to help us get everything done that needed to get done. From the first idea selling, to the closing of escrow and verification of the proceeds, she was efficient, professional, and responsive the whole way. Kelly helped us game out different scenarios, strategies, and pricing. She had her finger on the pulse of the market to get our home sold fast. I plan to use her for our next transaction and would definitely recommend her to others.
