ZillowVERIFIEDKaelin began working with us almost two years ago. I can tell you right now, we are not easy clients as what we were looking for was extremely specific. Kaelin not only found homes within our taste and price point, but was able to connect us with competent contractors and consultants during an extremely busy market, much less, a pandemic. She took the time to research sellers and knew exactly what needed to be done to get an offer accepted. We are ecstatic to be moving into our dream home (beating out 14 other offers I may add) and cannot recommend Kaelin and her team more. She is the real deal.

ZillowVERIFIEDKaelin is by far the best realtor I have ever worked with. She takes her job very seriously and will go the extra mile for you. Even after we closed, she was still emailing our land use planner and making sure our project was still moving forward. She is an excellent listener, which I don't often see in a realtor. There were times when we weren't even sure what we wanted, but she was able to patiently listen carefully, then ask the right questions, then listen some more, so that she was able to lead us toward the answer we hadn't figured out yet, almost like a skilled therapist would. She will work tirelessly and relentlessly for you. If there is someone or something holding up your sale, she will politely and professionally (yet relentlessly) figure out how to get past it. That having said, I always felt like she was moving things forward for our interests and not her own. There were numerous times along the way where she convinced us to slow down and think about something we hadn't thought of just to make absolutely sure we were moving in the right direction. She was on the lookout for risks that we hadn't thought of and wanted to make sure we knew about them before moving forward, even if that meant more work for her. She is incredibly intelligent, talented, and dedicated, and from my experience in real estate you will be hard pressed to find a realtor with a fraction of her skill to represent you.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe only have good things to say about working with Kaelin as our realtor. We have bought & sold numerous homes in California. Kaelin made this the best and most efficient experience we have had. There is a reason she has such strong reviews here. I concur with all of the prior comments.We knew the specific neighborhood and type of house we were looking for. Kaelin quickly understood our target and sent us a series of very relevant properties to see either before or right when they went on the market (as in within the hour). In a competitive market, we were always positioned well in terms of our offers. She appears to have a strong relationship with peers across the industry.As we went through the buying process, she managed all of the necessary steps through inspection to close wonderfully. Kaelin is also a master at project management bringing a number of construction and inspection experts to the table quickly. Again, she has strong relationships leading to quick response times from 3rd parties.Net, we give Kaelin our unequivocal recommendation. There are few people who are as good at what they do and as pleasant to work with.

ZillowVERIFIEDI was referred to Kaelin from my previous realtor who moved out of the area. She helped us successfully purchase our first home! As a first time home buyer there is a lot to learn! Kaelin was extremely knowledgeable about all stages of the home buying process and taught us everything we needed to know. She was responsive, attentive and super easy to work with. I highly recommend her!

ZillowVERIFIEDI found Kaelin online through great reviews, and would second each and every great thing that has been said in the other reviews. They are all true. We were looking for a house in an extremely specific area of Capitola near the beach - we limited our search to about 10 blocks. This was our 12th lifetime real estate transaction, and Kaelin's service was by far the best. She brings the ultimate skill set of great instincts, knowledge of the area, connections to other local agents, and an unparalleled work ethic.We would not have gotten the property, which we absolutely love and intend to keep for life, if we had been represented by the agent I let go before hiring Kaelin. She was able to secure us a showing before the house went on the multiple listing service (on the weekend, despite being on a family vacation). We were the first to make an offer, and the house had two more competing offers within hours of hitting the MLS.

ZillowVERIFIEDKaelin is the best of the best. I recommend her to anyone who wants a thorough and attentive real estate agent to help navigate through the buying or selling process. She doesn't wait for a question; she anticipates it. She helped us to purchase a property in record time and at a good price, with an abundance of patience. We have worked with many agents in the past, and she is at the top of the heap. She's fabulous!

ZillowVERIFIEDMy Husband and I have gone through home buying process three times before, the fourth time was a charm. Kaelin was amazing, we moved from CO to CA, we had our eyes focused on one house in a development and one specific house that seem to meet all our needs. Kaelin made sure we had several options for us not only the one we wanted to see. She listened to our needs and desires, she managed our expectations. We did not get the original house we came to see, because the first house she showed us, exceeded not only our expectations, but I fell like a dream came true. Kaelin was able to hear what we really wanted, communicated effectively to both my husband and I and she negotiated a great deal. In addition, Kaelin found us partners to stage and sell our house in CO.We are now living in the home I have always wanted! A place our kids and our grandchildren will be excited to have fun adventures at, not just at the holidays. This is our forever home, thank you Kaelin Wagnermarsh, for your passion, your partnership and exceeding our expectations for the next chapter of our lives

ZillowVERIFIEDWe just bought our first home with Kaelin as our Real Estate agent, and could not be happier! She guided us through the whole process seamlessly. She was thorough, organized, personable, professional, and responsive along the way. She valued our goals and opinions, and worked diligently to get us the house of our dreams! We feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with her, and would highly recommend her to anyone in the area! Kaelin truly is outstanding!

ZillowVERIFIEDKaelin was a fantastic advocate for us in both purchasing a new home and selling our old place. She knows the local market, she knows local resources for painting, repairs, staging and much more. She knew what we were looking for and found the perfect place and we couldn't be happier. She's also a tough and savy negotiator and got us a great deal on both houses!

ZillowVERIFIEDI interviewed over 30 agents before deciding to list my home. Speaking with Kaelin in the first conversation I could tell we were on the same page for the process of selling my home. She was extremely knowledgeable about the specialty market in which my home resided. As if this wasnt enough of a good reason to give her our listing, she also took on the management and oversight of all contractors and improvement work that was done as I was living in another state. I cant express enough what an incredible experience it was having Kaelin represent our sale. Shes the kind of agent you would want if you were in the market of buying and selling, because you would know you have someone you can count on!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe were so lucky to have found Kaelin as we were looking for our home. Kaelin is a no nonsense type of person. She is professional, knowledgable, detail oriented and hard working. She is also friendly and caring and great with both kids and pets! She genuinely wants to find the perfect place for you and your family. She has your back and is not pushy. After years of searching, to figure out what we really wanted, Kaelin helped us score the perfect home. We are so grateful to know her and you will be to.

ZillowVERIFIEDI am very happy to recommend Kaelin to anyone who has any kind of real estate need--buying, selling, or just asking questions. She is very experienced and knowledgeable in all phases of the business. We chose her as our realtor when we recently sold our home in Felton, and she was outstanding in taking care of each step along the way. Her marketing experience and suggestions and recommendations were spot on. The amount of documentation and paperwork required in buying or selling property seems daunting at times, but she kept everything in order, explained everything in as much detail as we desired, and always kept things moving forward. Before we could even show our home we had many repairs that needed to be made; she got estimates for us from several local vendors, advised us on several options we could consider, and then kept careful tabs on all the work progress for us. Everything ended up much better than we ever could have expected! When we were finally ready for our home to go on the market, the photographs and marketing materials she prepared for the prospective buyers and open houses were of the very highest quality. She helped us consider various factors in the offers that were received, and once we accepted a final offer she continued to be very effective in keeping the entire closing process on track every step along the way. We are very happy with the outcome, and we are very glad that Kaelin was our realtor. I'm convinced she's the very best realtor you will ever find!

ZillowVERIFIEDKaelin is on point. She was attentive and responsive throughout my entire 6-month house hunt, and I believe it was her expertise that got my offer accepted in this extremely competitive market. It's not enough to say she answered my questions and did a good job -- Kaelin truly went above and beyond to be my advocate and earn my trust and respect. She is a dedicated, responsible, accountable PRO in this business, and you won't find a better agent in Santa Cruz.

ZillowVERIFIEDKaelin loves what she does, and it shows. Emails and phone calls were answered within minutes. From day one, her experience and resourcefulness were evident: from assistance during pre-approval process, through contract negotiations, with quick turn-arround every time when we had questions for the seller.Amazingly, even after the sale was finalized, she continued to dedicate her time when we needed help with interviewing landscapers and other contractors.Kaelin is highly ethical and trustworhy. She always represented our best interests.She exceeded my expectations by a wide margin in every aspect.

ZillowVERIFIEDIt is hard to put into words how amazing Kaelin is. She didn't just sell my house for well above asking, but attended to every detail along the way. The term "full service" agent is an understatement. She not only handled everything, but she even helped out with the closing of my new house to assure it went smoothly. Picking a real estate agent can be like picking out a car, but with all the prices being the same. Why buy a used pinto when you could get a new Bentley? If you are looking to buy or sell your house in Santa Cruz Co. or beyond, Kaelin will assure your experience is stress free. She is a gem and should be your first choice when deciding on an agent.

ZillowVERIFIEDReal estate agents are not all created equal. The kind words that I have for Kaelin would not apply to any of the three agents that I approached, before talking with her. It was her knowledge of the local market, instant recognition of my condo pluses and minuses, and authentic enthusiasm that made me to sign the listing agreement with her. In the weeks that followed, she amazed me further, by being on top of every aspect of the sale process: the inspections, the repairs, the open houses, the negotiations with the buyer's agent. Kaelin worked long hours, always available and patient, and never imposing her opinions. It was her professionalism, intuition, efficiency and work ethics that impressed me the most. At the beginning she said: "the process will be a fun and smooth one", and she surely delivered. On behalf of my wife and myself, thank you Kaelin. All the best! Stan and Renata

ZillowVERIFIEDI worked with Kaelin to purchase a home in Lompico this winter, and was referred by another agent in Los Angeles. While this was not the first time I'd bought a home, I still had a tight budget because of the market in the area. I found Kaelin's local knowledge to be exceptional, the depth of her knowledge includes not only the market, but also all of the special things to consider when purchasing a home in the Santa Cruz mountains. Kaelin is an excellent communicator, and is laser-focused on customer service, acting as a partner and advocate throughout the transaction process. She demonstrated great knowledge of local rules and regulations, and always had researched every property thoroughly before we even had viewed them, so she was ready to answer any questions we had. The property that ended up being the right one was of course a unique case, and Kaelin's persistence and negotiation skills were a key factor in closing the deal. I already have and will continue to refer my friends that are looking to purchase a home to Kaelin!

ZillowVERIFIEDMy husband and I were just exploring the Santa Cruz area thinking that we may want to purchase (we were hesitant because we were new the area and we were first time buyers). We were struck immediately by Kaelin's professionalism and genuine will to help - even if we weren't sure what we wanted.Kaelin took us all through the Santa Cruz area and vicinity, educated us on the buying process, and even made recommendations for things to do, places to see, and food to try in each neighborhood so we could get a feel for where we wanted to be.Finding a house was difficult, and we put down many offers with long negotiation periods - but we always felt that Kaelin more than had our back. She was always super responsive, she was so patient with us, and she listened to all our concerns and ensured we were comfortable and confident with each offer. There were times when my husband and I were downright pessimistic about the prospective of finding our dream home, but Kaelin was there for us and made sure to ease our every concern.Now that we have a place, we are so thankful for all of Kaelin's dedication to making sure we were happy and satisfied. We will use Kaelin for any other real estate need in the future and we fully recommend her to anybody with real estate needs.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe started looking for our home a couple months before meeting Kaelin at an open house. Although we had interacted with several other realtors before meeting Kaelin, we knew within a few minutes of our introduction that she was the right realtor for us! She was friendly, knowledgeable, and truly interested in finding us the perfect home. We were all over the place at first, not knowing the specific neighborhood or type of house we wanted. Although we were not first-time home buyers, the market and process in this area was more tricky than other markets we had purchased in before. Kaelin guided our search and patiently accompanied us to various showings for several weeks, listening to all our feedback. When we finally found THE house, Kaelin expertly guided us through all the various steps of purchasing. This included competing against another offer on the house, successfully dealing with a less than responsive listing agent, investigating and resolving a red tag on the property, and scheduling and addressing several quirks found during inspections. She went above and beyond what we expected! She invested many, many hours for our family, and we couldnt have been happier with the outcome. Kaelin is extremely communicative, knowledgeable, detail-oriented, proactive, and efficient. She is also really easy to hang out with, which made the entire process a whole lot more enjoyable. Should we ever need to sell and/or buy another home in the area, Kaelin will be our first call.

ZillowVERIFIEDFirst and foremost we wanted to say it was a pleasure working with Kealin Wagnermarsh and having her help us buy our family home. We were new to the area, having just moved here in August 2013. Kaelin was in my Wells Fargo office taking care of personal business when we were first introduced through a mutual respected business associate with Wells Fargo. Busy, we exchanged business cards and had a brief exchange but was candid in the fact that we were not in "any rush" to buy. Kaelin followed up with a very detailed and personalized email introduction with some specific properties in the area we were looking and we immediately could appreciate her professionalism and attention to detail. We had come across a lot while walking in the neighborhood we desired. Kaelin immediately was excited to help in anyway she could and even offered to personally accompany us to the city, county, planning, building or any other office to find out as much as we could about this very challenging property. After multiple visits and hours expended together we decided this particular property was going to be more then we desired to take on and reluctantly moved on and put our home purchase on hold. Again, we were not really in "the market" to buy.Kaelin was very diligent in her follow up & her tenacity and we both agreed that for this reason we would be using her on the next property we embarked on, whenever that might be. Again walking the neighborhood we stumbled across our then future home. Kaelin was the first person we reached out to, texting her on a Sunday evening. She replied instantly and offered to show us the property that very next day. This was the beginning of a very challenging journey.It has been a bumpy road to the purchase of our home, to which Kaelin remained readily available, very responsive, professional through the entire time giving us the reassurance we had the right person on our team to get the job done. We could not be happier and feel extremely fortunate to have found such a hard working real estate agent such as Kaelin. We truly felt it merits more than just a simple thank you letter. We would have no hesitation or reservations recommending any of our family, friends and clients to Kaelin in the future & I know she will provide the highest level of service. We are extremely grateful for all the time and attention she put into such an important and personal part of our lives. We have full trust & faith in her tenacity, honesty, character, & high energy she portrayed with us. We truly believe there are no obstacles she cannot overcome. We cannot be more pleased. Best, Heath & Heidi
