★★★★★"We very much enjoyed working with Kelly! We moved from WA to NC and we weren’t sure what we were looking for- land to build, house with acreage, house on the lake, townhome, rental! We were all over the place and Kelly was patient with us and had searches going for all those options lol. She made sure to be available for us when we flew in the few times and when we weren’t in town she would FaceTime with us and walk through the homes and properties to show us. She also had recommendations for us where to store our cars, look for furniture, house cleaners, etc. planning to call up Kelly for any future house sales or purchases! "
★★★★★"When we first met Kelly, she sat down with us for over an hour and explained the entire home buying process. As first time homebuyers, this was extremely helpful and informative! Throughout the process, she was responsive and took the time to explain everything that was going on behind the scenes. She found us the perfect home and we're so happy that we found Kelly! "
The questions we get most.
Do I need to be pre-approved before we look?+
Pre-approval doesn't cost anything and takes about 20 minutes with a good lender. It also lets you write real offers when the right home shows up. We recommend it before the second tour.
How much should I budget for closing costs?+
Plan for roughly 2–3% of the purchase price. Some of it can be negotiated with the seller depending on the market.
Do you charge buyers directly?+
In most transactions the seller's side covers buyer representation. If a specific home requires anything different, you'll know before we tour it.
How fast can we close?+
Cash: 10–14 days. Financed: typically 30–35 days. We map the timeline to your life, not the other way around.
Tell Kelly what you're looking for.
Even a rough idea helps — timeline, area, budget, must-haves. Kelly follows up personally, typically within an hour.
