Kelly Galvin and her team were extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and diligent. She understood the benefits of ownership in an historic property and was able clearly communicate all the details of our particular property. We would highly recommend Kelly Galvin and Ashton Sheridan to represent us, both as a seller and as a buyer.
Kelly, Megan, and Ashton are a fantastic team. They are true professionals, knowledgable, and were dedicated to achieving the best outcome for my wife and I. They put together a comprehensive sale and marketing plan. They recommended staging the home and making some minor up grades which was highly effective based on our home selling within 2 days after our first open house. They were very sensitive to our needs and assumed a great deal of the stress of selling our home. Throughout the entire process they were positive, encouraging, and updated us frequently on the progress of the sale. We were so impressed and appreciative that they donate 10% of their commission to the charity of our choice. This demonstrates their hearts' desire to help others. We would highly recommend this dedicated team to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home.
Kelly Galvin was absolutely superb in each and every aspect of our recent real estate purchase. Her expertise in all areas of real estate, her attention to detail and her immediate response to each need that arose during the transition were exceptional. My husband and I highly recommend her for anyone with real estate needs.
We recently sold our home in Orange County and purchased a new one in San Diego, and working with Galvin Real Estate Group was an absolute pleasure. From start to finish, Kelly Galvin demonstrated exceptional knowledge of the market, professionalism, and a genuine commitment to making the process smooth and stress-free. What truly stood out was how delightful Kelly was to work withaEUR"always approachable, responsive, and proactive. The entire team was outstanding, ensuring every detail was handled with care and efficiency. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, we felt confident and supported every step of the way. We highly recommend Kelly Galvin and team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. They are simply the best!
Kelly & Ashton are an absolute dream team! They helped our family find our first home and provided an extremely smooth escrow process. They truly care about every person they work with, providing excellent guidance (especially for new buyers/sellers). They are incredibly kind, but also manage to get things done efficiently and effectively! We are so grateful for this special team and our experience with them was beyond a 10/10. Thank you Kelly & Ashton!
Kelly Galvin is the epitome of what not just a realtor, but a person should be. She represents the finest examples of integrity, professionalism, and truly caring for her clients. When their is a bump in the road or barrier she will find a solution that creates resolution and benefits her client. These qualities are why we've trusted her for several home purchases over the years.
It was an easy decision to list the sale of our 40+ year family home with Kelly and Ashton, as we felt very comfortable with the teams qualifications and communication ease. They offered preparation and improvement suggestions based on current market trends, while guiding us through the process every step of the way. Once listed, the Team didnt miss a weekend to host an open house and believe this tireless effort was instrumental in placing a new family in the home quickly. Great communication with frequent updates and comprehensive weekly status reports kept us informed on the sale process. If searching for a Genuine Qualified Realtor Team - look no further than Kelly and Ashton, you will not be disappointed!
Kelly and Ashton were a pleasure to work with. Dedicated professionals, that are knowledgeable and trustworthy. The home that I was selling was in a different state than where I lived. So someone that was trustworthy with a high level of integrity was very important to me. Kelly communicated with me regularly with factual advice that made decision making from a distance easy. It is very hard to find a Christian realtor that cares about her clients more than making a sale.
I just finished a transaction with Kelly! Very pleasant experience, she is professional, responsive, and hard working ! She is very easy going person with excellent communication skills, who push the transaction through smoothly. most amazing part of Kelly's work is after transaction, she still very responsive yo my questions about the property. I eould like to recommend Kelly to any friend of mine if they need realtor.
If you're looking for trustworthy, honest and knowledgeable realtors...work with Kelly and Ashton. Both Kelly and Ashton were extremely communicative throughout the process of selling our home. In this challenging market, they were not only able to get us above market value, but made the process stress free and were transparent with us..which as a seller, is very comforting for such a big transaction. Thanks you two for everything!
If I could give 10 stars I would! Kelly is the best! This is the second property Kelly and Ashton have helped us sell and we couldn't be happier with the results. They listened to our concerns and feedback and were always available. Our property was unique and they worked hard to find us just the right buyer in this difficult market. They are honest, ethical and hard working. Couldn't ask for more!
Working with Kelly and Ashton was just so easy! They were effortless and not pushy while still encouraging us to see houses that we wouldnt have seen or gone to look at. Theyve really been in it for the long haul with us as were pretty picky and took a long time to decide on a location and a house. They spent so long helping us find what was right for our family and never pressured us to move faster than we were ready for. Theyve been so helpful going above and beyond helping us with our research and our timelines. We felt heard and guided the whole time. They were never salesy and went out of their way to make this home purchase happen for us.
Kelly and Ashton are the most incredible personable team in the real estate game! They make you feel like family and I felt so taken care of! Professional on every level! Honest of and selfless in every step in just doing what was best for us ! Truly couldnt have asked for a better team to help sell our house in record time ! It was a treat to work with them and I'm going to miss having them at our house so much ! They truly are the best and could not give a review that does them justice. 10/10 !!!! Amazing!!!!
Truly an incredible team! As a first time home owner, I was in need of a lot of hand holding, explaining and patience. It came in abundance! It's a wild market out there, but with Kelly and Ashton, I felt like I was completely taken care of, heard and respected. You can tell honesty and professionalism is incredibly important to them. I'm more grateful than I can ever express to them for finding me my dream home!
Kelly and Ashton are an amazing team. They provided selling and renting strategy options, communicated extremely well, kept us completely up to date, and were very thorough. The extensive experience they have was incredibly valuable and helped us navigate a quickly changing market. They also helped us by making recommendations for minor enhancements that would increase our curb appeal and thereby maximize the price we received. I highly recommend Kelly and her team!

Kelly is a tremendous realtor AND person! She is very responsive, kind and goes the extra mile. She listened to what we wanted in a home, and presented recommendations in alignment with that. As newcomers to San Clemente, she was very helpful in educating us on the area, and helping us narrow down the specific area we would enjoy most. We appreciated her willingness to spend so much time and effort with us. After viewing many homes over many weekends together, Kelly and her associate Ashton helped us find the perfect home! They have an exceptional reputation in the area, and an excellent relationship with other realtors, which made for a smooth home purchase. We highly recommend them, as kind, knowledgeable and professional realtors.
I interviewed quite a few realtors looking for someone to who had the best strategy in pricing and timing. Kelly Galvin recommended pricing our home $100,000 over what the other realtors had suggested. She understood the value of our home, our upgrades, the current market and knew with complete confidence she could get this price. She proved to be right, we received multiple offers $100,000 over asking. Not only was she brilliant in pricing and timing, she was also very kind and patient with us, as this was our first experience in selling a home. She explained in detail all the steps and helped us process along the way, which is invaluable! I couldn't recommend her enough.
Let me start with this: Kelly Galvin is INCREDIBLE. My husband and I have had the privilege of working with Kelly on the sale of our previous home and the purchase of our dream home. She's so much more than a real estate agent. She goes out of her way, to make every step of the process, as easy and smooth as possible. She's incredibly kind yet assertive, diligent and pleasantly professional. You will feel well taken care of with Kelly, in every way imaginable. We have found our experiences, with her, far superior to any other buying/selling process we've been involved in. She works so well with the corresponding buyer/seller agents, too! We watched, from afar, as she provided the same exceptional care shown to my parents (in the buying and selling of their home/s) and have recommended Kelly to all of our local family and friends. I cannot express enough gratitude for Kelly and her hard work and customer service. All that I can say is that our experiences, with Kelly, have been EXCEPTIONAL in every way.
Both Kelly and Ashton were amazing to work with. My wife and I were pretty set on where we wanted to buy so we really appreciated how patient they were with us. When something did pop up in our neighborhood of choice they were quick to jump on it and always gave us the right advice when we needed it. When we did decide to put in an offer Kelly and Ashton we in close contact with us every step of the way. We have no doubt this was how we got our offer accepted so quickly. While in escrow they were there to answer all of our questions, walk us through the process and help us out any way that we needed. Thank you so much, Kelly and Ashton!!
Kelly and her colleague Ashton we the best from the first call. They helped us find the perfect neighborhood in an area that we were new to and helped us navigate the wild market in the purchasing of our first family home. Their personal touch and availability really set them apart from the competition. I would highly recommend working with them to find your next home.
The sale of my home, after living here almost 30 years, has been a very emotion time, but with the help of Kelly and Ashton it was made much easier. Each step was handled in a very knowledgeable and professional way from the listing to the closing. Mary Whitehead
We knew that Kelly had an outstanding reputation, and she did not disappoint. She was amazing in all aspects. We listed our recently deceased beloved mothers home with Kelly. She gently guided us through the emotional process and expertly handled all steps of the process with kindness, efficiency, and professionalism. In a matter of days, we had multiple offers. We will always use Kelly for our real estate needs from this time on. She is really outstanding. The very best.Sincerely, Cathy S.
Kelly was a delight to work with from first call through closing on our new home. It was an out-of-state deal for us and she was willing to do a video walk-through with us to show us every room and even the great views! Kelly didn't ever make us feel rushed to make a decision and was genuinely excited for us on our purchase. Not only does Kelly know the area well, she is full of resources for the area. She recommended a couple restaurants that have become favorites of ours! Working with Kelly was pretty much effortless.
Working with Kelly to secure my Wife and I's first home was a delightful experience. She brought a lot of love and passion to her work and made us feel extremely valued. Her professionalism is no doubt tied to the importance she places on her clients - putting her best foot forward always to make the process feel so special and putting our wants and needs first. Kelly was consistently available, always helpful, always kind, and extremely fun. My wife and I can't recommend her enough!
5++ STARS... Kelly is hands down the best realtor we have ever worked with. We have worked with her multiple times for home purchases and sales. She is very knowledgeable in the market, an extremely hard worker, responsive and most importantly operates with the utmost of integrity and honesty. She takes a very realistic approach, instead of simply saying things to get your hopes up. On our most recent home sale, she made an online video of our home including drone footage from above which was an amazing advertising tool. That along with other online advertising, and her connections in the industry, etc. enabled her to consistently filter qualified home buyers through our home in South San Clemente in order to get us a sale at the price we wanted. On the buying side, her market knowledge, pocket listing connections and overall connections have been invaluable to us. We have moved from California to Florida and would honestly love for her to be our realtor in Florida due to our past experience with her.
Kelly was so great to work with, we found ourselves in Escrow in just 3 days, very close to our asking price! She and her team were extremely personable, accommodating and very efficient to help us through our pursuits of selling our home. Kelly is like family now and we would recommend her to all!T.G.
If you are looking for an honest realtor with an incredible ability to sell your home fast, Kelly is the one! She puts her heart and souls into making the sale streamlined! She hires amazing photographers and experts on staging to increase your best opportunity for a successful sale- She is a fair negotiator and doesnt try to cut corners. She plays by the rules and wants to see everyone win in a home buy- We appreciate her and know she is the best in San Clemente -
She was a gem to work with. Made the transition super easy and took care of all the little things that we didnt want to be bothered with. Definitely would recommend her and use her again.
Kelly professionalism as a relator surpassed all our expectations. She always accommodated us with showings and took the time to answer any questions we may have had. Purchasing a home with her was a breeze and selling a home unbelievable in one week. The best!
Our new home is the second beach front property that Kelly helped us find and purchase. We would never consider using any other realtor in Southern California. We live in Arizona and she handled all the details for us. She turned what could have have been a difficult transaction, particularly given the distance and COVID, into a pleasant, stress free and easy experience. Kelly is very organized, stays on top of all the details, always accessible, keeps you informed and is 100% trust worthy and honest. She is straight forward, extremely knowledgeable and gives excellent practical advice. Although Kelly has a pleasant, easy going demeanor, she can be very firm in protecting her customers interest. For Kelly, her customers come first. She is the best!
Kelly Galvin is the perfect real estate agent. She helped us sell our home with very little of the stress we'd had in the past. Kelly listens and understands her clients needs and she has excellent attention to detail. She gives excellent advise and has become a friend.
Kelly was highly recommended to us by a friend who lives locally. We are from the Seattle area and were looking for a home in San Clemente. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 restrictions, we were not able to travel down to California as often as we would have liked to preview homes. Kelly and her assistant, Ashton, did a great job in keeping us abreast of anything new that came on the market. They were able to set up several virtual tours and even included a tour of the surrounding area so we could get a feel for the location. After many texts, emails, phone calls and virtual tours, we were able to narrow our focus, fly down to preview several homes, and make an offer on our forever home. Kelly and Ashton were patient (we were a party of 6 during the home tours!) resourceful, and very professional. They were able to execute the transaction quickly and sealed the deal allowing us to fly back to Seattle three days later. We would highly recommend Kelly, Ashton and their team to anyone looking for a new home.
Kelly is a consummate real estate professional. She helped us negotiate an excellent price on our home when we purchased it and when we sold it 5 years later, she helped us get a very good price in less than 60 days on a multi-million dollar home in an incredibly difficult market. Her work ethic is second to none, she has very creative solutions to help bring deals together and she always has her clients best interest in mind. If you're looking for someone to help you with your real estate needs, there are none better than Kelly and her team. Kevin and Ellen
Kelly was amazing throughout the entire process of buying our 1st home. She went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable and informed in every single step of the process. Her experience and knowledge was very evident and very appreciated.
Kelly Galvin is wonderful! I am a busy, professional, single woman and Kelly made selling and buying a breeze. She gave me great insight into market conditions and advised me on the most advantageous time to sell my home. She helped me prioritize what should be done to market my home, earning me more than asking price. She is very detail oriented and walked me through every step of my escrow making it a breeze for me to continue with my everyday life. She is ethical, gives back to the community and mentors young realtors. I would recommend her to anyone. Top notch realtor and human being.

Kelly was absolutely wonderful. She helped us in buying our dream home and couldnt recommend her enough. She was extremely knowledgeable of the area and more than happy to assist any way possible. Always very quick to respond and genuinely cares for her clients.
As first time home buyers finding a reliable and competent realtor can be a challenge. After browsing around and weighing our options we came across Kelly and instantly felt a click. Kelly's track-record speaks for itself.. (seriously, look it up) She is an absolute rock that knows exactly what she's doing. She walked us through the entire buyer cycle, guided us step-by-step, and was always available to answer questions, give advise, and take our calls. She has become a friend throughout this process and we definitely recommend her services.
Kelly was fantastic to work with. We don't live near San Clemente so she took care of all listing details and communicated very effectively. Kelly is the perfect combination of personal and professional, taking care of issues as they come up promptly and efficiently. Her research and guidance on pricing our condo unit was spot on and we reached closure at a fair price much quicker than anticipated. We recommend Kelly without hesitation.
Kelly is extremely gifted in all aspects relating to purchasing real estate and servicing the buyer. I highly recommend her outstanding customer service and great understanding of the local real estate market.Charlie KittsSan Clemente, CA
Kelly Galvin is a wonderful, energetic, professional realtor. Living in New Jersey and selling property in CA is not easy. Her never-ending assistancehas been invaluable. She has been "with" me every step of the way and always with patience and knowledge. Kelly answered all phone calls and"walked me through" all paperwork I had questions about. Never too busy to assist with all aspects of the process and always with a cheerful, upbeat attitude. I highly recommend Kelly to anyone selling or buying property in Southern CA!
Kelly is outstanding! Great communicator and fantastic work ethic! She made everything go smoothly and walked us through all the details beautifully! She followed through on everything she said and proactively made our home sell in less then 2 months. Shes such a professional and takes marketing seriously. I cant recommend her more highly!!
Kelly was fantastic and was with us all along the way providing expertise and doing everything she could to help us find our next home. We would recommend her to everyone we know.
Kelly is extremely knowledgeable and really listened to what we were looking for in a house. She was attentive and quick to respond. Kelly also was a great advisor during the whole purchase process. We will use her again and will recommend her to friends and family.
Kelly is amazing! Anyone selling or buying a property should have Kelly on their side. She is a highly professional, sensitive to her client's needs, caring and very engaged through the entire process. Kelly always had time to answer my questions, my phone calls and lending a helping hand through the entire process.Thank you Kelly for all your help!
Kelly is beyond outstanding. She found the perfect beach front condo in San Clemente for us. My wife and I live in Arizona and Kelly handled every detail of the transaction on our behalf. She researched comparable property values and negotiated an excellent purchase price for us. She pulled the HOAs CC&Rs, Bylaws and Rules and Regulations, explained them to us and pointed out potential aEURoetrouble areasaEUR?. Since we were out of state, she handled the home inspection and identified all necessary repairs. She even brought her own plumber and electrician over for additional input. She aggressively ensured that all repairs were made to the highest standard. In fact, when some of the repairs were not done to her satisfaction, she had the sellers come back and rework them. Kelly even connected us with a mortgage broker to finance the purchase. Frankly, she turned what could have been a stressful situation, particularly given that we were out of state, into a smooth and painless experience. She is a one woman band that did it all. Kelly is incredibly thoughtful and amiable, extremely competent, organized, honest to her own detriment and when necessary, tenacious in protecting her clients. My wife and I have bought and sold many homes and worked with many brokers. Kelly is the best by a mile - you will not be disappointed.
Kelly has helped us purchase two houses in San Clemente...both were off market listings that due to her relationships and consistent networking/marketing she was in the know on. Kelly is very focused on meeting her clients needs and has been so helpful in navigating the entire process from making the offer through the close of escrow. She has excellent attention to detail and is very organized. Kelly is very warm & friendly but is also a tough negotiator when the situation calls for it. We have truly enjoyed working with her and feel so fortunate that we were referred to her three years ago!
Kelly sold our home for us. She was very knowledgable regarding comps in the area and got us an excellent price for our home. She was professional and always treated our questions with the utmost respect. When our house was in escrow she made frequent trips to the home making sure the property was well kept and everything looked good(the property was vacant). She was wonderful interfacing with the buyer and our family. After the sale of our home Kelly is now assisting us in buyer investment properties.
Kelly helped us find our new home, and was so pleasant to work with. She's a great communicator, and was always available to answer any questions or concerns. She's extremely patient, and we never felt like she was putting any pressure on us. She made the whole process so easy on us, and was great with following up with us. We highly recommend Kelly!
