    Working with Kelly to sell our home was a fantastic experience. From day one, she was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive. She helped us update, price, and stage our home perfectly, and we received multiple offers within days. The entire process was smooth and stress-free thanks to her expert guidance. We are very happy with the outcome and highly recommend Kelly to anyone looking to sell their home!

    Kelly Dippel went above and beyond to help us sell our house that we lived in for 37 years. She provided advice on what repairs and improvements were needed on the house, and then obtained quotes and manage the remodeling. We had a great return on the money we spent relying on Kellys advice. Kelly recommended excellent movers to pack and move our belongings out of state. Everything from hauling to staging, Kelly was there for us. The house was on the market for less than a week and with Kellys expert negotiating skills sold for at the top end of our expectations. Thank you, Kelly.

    We all know what to do basically when we go to sell our properties. But when your personal friend passes away, and youre not quite sure what to do outside of their trust, who are you going to call? Well I referred Kelly. Kelly came in, knowing exactly what to do, she got the estate planners to help with the liquidation and the appraisal of personal items such as jewelry, clothing, furniture, basically everything. She then came in and handled all of the remodeling and fixing up of the property for the sale, it was done so fast and so beautifully that I even thought about buying it. She was spot on with the financial listing and completion of the job after viewing the property upon completion. We were so amazed at how efficient and how quickly it all came together so much so , that one is my time to pass on. I know that I can trust Kelly to ensure that my family and children will be well represented and my financial interest will be protected. I'm so amazed at KellyaEUR~s ability to oversee everything and relieve us of all the headaches. We honestly would not have known what to do. I highly recommend Kelly for any and all of her services, she will treat you with the upmost respect and assurance.

    Kelly Dippel was the perfect realtor to help me sell my friend's house in San Jose! I was the trust administrator for a friend who died unexpectedly, leaving behind a great house that needed a lot of work. Kelly immediately saw what needed to be done to bring out the best features of the house, so I agreed to have her take on the home improvement project. She had a clear vision for the house and did a fantastic job coordinating the various contractors and services to get to that vision. The entire project was completed efficiently and at a very reasonable cost. Once the house was placed on the market, it sold quickly and for a good price -- the the cost of the home improvement was well worth it. It was a pleasure working with Kelly. She was both professional and personable. She kept me up to date on the progress of the house and made sure I had and understood the information needed to make decisions. She was efficient and very trustworthy. She had been referred to me with the highest recommendations, and she definitely lived up to them.

    I found out about Kelly Dippel and the Kelly Dippel Group Real Estate Advisors from a close friend who is meticulous and used to live in the same development as ours, and who was always reliable for recommendations and his reasoning behind them. When I asked whom hed recommend, he said Kelly because thats who sold his place, and he was impressed with her performance in that she was professional, she didnt waste money getting his place ready, and that she had a team that worked for her that responded immediately to what she wanted done, did a great job, and at a reasonable price. He said she didnt spend money doing anything on his place unless it would be reflected in the price of the house. He said he was impressed how she knew what those things were. He said he liked her because she was always friendly and fun to work with. He just flat out said, aEURoeYouve got to get her to sell your place.aEUR? And this turned out to be another reason why friend is a great source of recommendations. Every thing he said was like a preview of our experience with Kelly. We interviewed three agents and for the interview I wrote a list of questions, and did as my friend suggested and asked about any awards the agent received. Kellys interview with us was flawless. We were really impressed by the fact that she was in the Coldwell Banker top 1% of agents in the world, and we later learned why. The other 2 agents we interviewed, who had been recommended by others, had scary lack of attention to detail in their interviews like wrong names and address in the material they brought with them. My wife and I both wondered how this lack of attention to detail would transfer into the sale of our place. Both referred to Kellys sale in our townhouse development a couple of months previous as the highest price ever received for a unit exactly like ours. My wife and I talked about how it would be stupid to go with someone other than the agent who just got the highest price for our unit and the other agents were talking about why that sale went so well. During the interview and the walkthrough of our place, Kelly pointed out positives, negatives, and what should and shouldnt be done to prepare the house without wasting money. She pointed out the things that needed to be done and for each thing she described why it was important to do, what it would cost, who would do it, and the timeline. During the walkthrough she pointed out things the other agents missed. Kelly has a support team that stepped into action literally the same day she became our agent. She discovered a water leak during the walkthrough, and after she became our agent, she immediately brought in her team to diagnose the issue and develop a plan and timeline to repair it, and it was successfully repaired according to the plan weeks ahead of the open house, of which there was only one because the house sold at the target price (not the asking price, which was less) after the first open house. The open house started on a Saturday and there were multiple offers at or above our target price, and a buyer was signed 4 days later on Tuesday. It didnt take long for her to confirm that she knew what she was doing and the best thing I could do for myself and my mental health was to get out of her way and let her do her job, focus on everything else that has to be done when selling a home, finding a new one, moving (she has movers that were a fraction of what we thought it would cost), and moving money around and investing. I just let go of all the anxiety I was feeling over the sale of our place and focused on what I needed to do with the rest of my life that was in front of me. Kellys sale of our place was process-oriented in that she had a process and people for every phase. Nothing exceeded her bandwidth where she had a plan of action for everything that came up, and it seemed there was anything she hadnt seen before. Kelly was always available to us. She responded to us whether driving, in a meeting, and always got back to us within an hour in those circumstances, and she always responded to texts, emails, and phone calls. Kelly gave an answer to every question we had and when she didnt immediately have an answer, she told us she would get the answer, and she did. She always had an informing answer to every question with no BS. We learned that she is totally reliable and theres nothing to worry about. We were really impressed with her energy and ability to juggle everything at once and never got rattled. She was always cheerful and lively. When she was done, our 30-year-old townhouse looked new and the first thing that occurred to me was a bunch of things she did we should have done years before because they werent that expensive. After the first open house we received multiple offers at our hoped target price. She had a technique for bringing in the most potential buyers that surprised us and was successful. The best part with Kelly was there wasnt any surprises.
