    Kate did an amazing job selling my condo. She is very knowledgeable about the local market and helped to make sure I was aware of what to expect every step of the way. She really went above and beyond- couldnt recommend her more!

    Kate helped us find our family home and genuinely gave her all. She put her heart and soul into working with us and was an excellent communicator from listing our starter home to closing our family home. We trusted her each step of the way of the process and would not work with anyone else. We will be needing her again soon as our family has grown and we need a bigger house! Highly recommend!

    Kate is simply exceptional. Her extensively thorough market research coupled with her amazing eye for detail led to a strong go to market strategy, from pricing to prep work to staging, and ultimately a successful sale. Kate is incredibly responsive and blends assertive negotiation skills with thoughtful realism. If you want to sell your home, call Kate Kelly today!

    If you read one thing, read this: Kate Kelly is the absolute best in the business. My husband and I partnered with her on our house-buying (first time buyers!) and selling a few years later when we had to relocate for work. From a buyer's perspective -- Kate is very smart and well-versed in the ever changing market trends and nuances of buying a home in Portland. She took the time to walk us through next steps, present options, and empowered us to be completely in control of our decisions. She's a highly organized professional and a fantastic communicator which is so essential, especially as a first time buyer who is unfamiliar with navigating the process. She was in our court from start to finish and offered expert guidance with our best interests in mind always. From a seller's perspective-- Kate once again went above and beyond for us when it was time to sell our house. From our first meeting, she showed up with a detailed proposed timeline and market comps for our neighborhood. She never once made us feel pressured or rushed into a decision, and she made sure we knew that she would support our preferred direction. Kate hosted a couple of amazing open houses, and as a result, our home was in contract within 5 days of listing after receiving multiple offers. I honestly can't imagine having done either of our transactions (buying or selling) without Kate's partnership. She's a top-notch listener and negotiator and she sets her clients up for success with their home buying/selling goals. She has a human-centered approach to her work and it's evident that she deeply cares about the success of every client she works with. Thank you Kate for a great experience on both sides of the home-buying table!

    Kate was an amazing force to have on our side when selling our property. She was very well prepared for our initial meeting. Her enthusiasm and confidence had us feeling at ease right away. We felt that this was an agent with integrity and passion - a true go-getter and someone we could trust as a team player. She had us listed and staged in a 2 week period and we had multiple offers and this is where she really went to bat for us. She is a confident negotiator and comes across as firm, reasonable, and kind. If I was to buy and sell again in the Portland area - Kate would be the first person I would call. Highly Recommended!
