This was my first time dealing with the selling and buying of a new home. Kelly was very good at pointing to the many options and pros and cons of each place we looked at. I gave her a 4 star rating because I don't think any ones perfect. their is always room for improvement. I would go to Kelly again if I where still in the market for a house. that should tell the story. I would recommend her to anyone. She is a good egg :)

Kelly was, by far, the best realtor I have ever known. Having been a realtor myself, I know how difficult is is to juggle the desires of your clients while giving each their individual attention. Kelly, ine of the gulf coasts top realtors, made me feel I was her only cjlient, always responsive, always there for me. Friendly, positive and an excellent negotiator, I think I hit the jackpot with her. She sold my home within 120 days in a declining sellers market for top dollar. You wont be disappointed, I guarantee it!

Kelly delivered everything as expected. We have dealt with too many realtors to mention & had come to expect very little. Kelly completed listing through closing as a professional& as expected. Amazing!

In December 2014, I was offered the job I'd wanted for years, but it meant an immediate relocation to another state. I panicked because, although I lived in the Bradenton/Sarasota area for 7 years, I really didn't know anyone. So I decided to pick three real estate agents at random and asked them to come talk to me. The one I was most comfortable with would be the one I chose.Out of all the decisions I had to make while selling my home, Kelly was the best decision I could have EVER made! Kelly arrived armed with comps for the area, talked me through the home selling process, and convinced me that I could list my home HIGHER than another agent suggested and that it would sell almost immediately. When the first contract fell through, she had another buyer lined up in hours (not DAYS, HOURS!!!)Kelly KNOWS her stuff!Kelly doesn't make decisions or give you advice with a prospective buyer in mind (the feeling I got when I talked to two other real estate agents). She is 100% invested in your home sale, your move, your circumstances. She made a confused and fraught process so much easier for me by always being available, whether I contacted her via phone or text message. She was quick to let me know when something changed, information was received, and what she needed from me. When it was finally over, I could only sigh in relief that I picked the right person the FIRST time.Now, is my experience normal? I don't know but I do know this: If I EVER had to sell a home again, I'd want Kelly Eckersen holding my hand the entire time. I recommend her without reservation and I'm sure you'll never regret your experience with her.

Kelly has sold our property and has assisted my family members in purchasing as well , she has done a great job and we are thankful to have found her. Kelly went out of her way to make sure both the sale and purchase went as smoothly as possible.

When I first meet Kelly I saw myself in her. I sold Real Estate for many years in Michigan and know the challenges of buying and selling. I still have a license but I don't actively sell. My husband and myself did not want the stress of selling along with building our new home so we had the confidence that Kelly would sell our home and we could concentrate on building our new home. In the middle of this my husband lost his mother and the compassionate side of Kelly came out to help us though this most difficult time also. I would highly recommend her to sell your home or help you find your next home.

Kelly,I wanted to take this time to thank you for all the hard work and dedication that you have shown throughout this closing. I can honestly say you truly went above and beyond what you had to do to make this property close on time. I know it was very difficult, especially when you have to deal with multiple owners, and especially difficult when you have to deal with one owner that simply cannot agree with any of the others.I am sorry I never had a chance to meet you personally, but I can testify to the fact that each transaction with you felt as if we were sitting across from each other; you made things that simple. You were also always available if any questions would arise. I would highly recommend you to anyone that had to go through the process of either selling their home or buying a home. I feel you are the ultimate professional and I am certain a real asset to your brokerage company, for that matter, to any brokerage company! Thank you again for your kindness, sincerity, integrity and professionalism through a most difficult time. Warmest regards, Robert N. Buccilli, Jr.
