Kelly is an excellent agent and was very attentive to our family's needs. He took the time to understand what we were truly looking for in a home. He understands the importance of home specifications to a buyer, but also the bigger picture of location, schools, work commute and lifestyle. Kelly also understands the stresses and urgent nature of a work relocation. Kelly helped us quickly refine our search criteria and put us in the houses that fully met our needs to make our transition the easiest of my professional career.
My wife and I had spoken with a few Realtors when we first started looking into purchasing a home, but several of our friends had recommended using Kelly because they had such wonderful experiences working with him, and as soon as we met Kelly, we knew instantly that we had found the best. Kelly was incredible throughout the entire home buying experience. He was responsive and attentive to all our needs, and he made himself available to us anytime of day during the week and on weekends. He is organized, knowledgeable, kindhearted and refreshingly honest. He always had our best interests in mind and made sure we were fully imformed about every aspect of the house before proceeding with an offer. We will recommend him to any of our friends and family looking to buy a house in SE Wisconsin. He truly is the best you will find.
My wife and I had already moved to Ohio when our home in Waukesha was put on the market for sale. Kelly did all the necessary coordination work to get the house ready for customer showings, inspecting the house before the visitors arrived and making sure the home appearance, both inside and outside, was very appealing. Also, Kelly wrote a very informative description of the features of the house which was useful for the many visitors who attended the showings. The above would have been impossible for us to accomplish while we were over 400 miles away. Great work, Kelly!
Professional, experienced, knowledgeable. Guided us through our house sale with a friendly smile and willing helping hand. We are truly glad we chose him as our realtor. Jim & Pauline Themar
As a first time homebuyer, Kelly helped make the process simple! I found my dream condo thanks to Kelly and was able to buy confidently knowing he always gave honest advice and had my best interests in mind. His fast response times, expertise, and upbeat attitude made working with him a dream.
Kelly was awesome in every regard. Although I was looking for a small (lower price) condo, he treated me with total professionalism and respect. He represented me as a buyer. We looked at about 10 properties, made 2 offers and I got a perfect one. He has good knowledge of market conditions, valuations and the legal process of homebuying. Always quick with responses to my texts and calls. I really recommend Kelly.
We had an excellent experience with Kelly! As first-time homebuyers in Wisconsin, Kelly explained in detail the whole process from start to end. He was professional, knowledgeable, honest, and in this market incredibly patient with us as we looked for our new home. He worked hard and was always available when we needed him to be, as well as timely in responding to our calls, texts, and answering our questions. My wife and I never felt forced to make an offer and when we finally found the aEURoeone,aEUR? Kelly walked us through every step of the negotiations from the initial offer until close. Kelly was a pleasure to work with and we highly recommend him to everyone looking to buy (or sell) a home.
We are writing to state that we would highly recommend anyone in the Waukesha area to consider using Kelly Kruger for their real estate transaction. Navigating the 2021 real estate experience with him by our side made buying our new home possible. Kelly started working with us in October 2020 while we were still in Florida. He was very informative about how the process would go, as well as patient and understanding about our situation while we were deciding which route we would take as we planned our move across the country. His expertise and creativity was put to the test when we started putting in competitive offers. He explained in detail the ways in which we could change the offers to make them more appealing to the seller. After three weeks in Waukesha of looking at about a dozen houses and putting in only 2 offers, we made our purchase. Kelly was almost always available and followed through with us all the way to the end of the buying process, and beyond. We wouldn't hesitate for a minute to say Kelly is the way to go. Thank you, Mike & Jessica Barrile
Our experience with Kelly was educational, enjoyable, and satisfying from the time we set up our first showing to closing. In what could have been a very stressful experience in a highly competitive market, Kelly made the process of first time home buying less intimidating, more manageable, very educational, and even fun. We never felt pressured into making an offer or viewing a place for the sake of him making a sale. In fact, our very first showing he called to let us know he would recommend not looking at the place as it didnt fit what we were looking for. That let us know he had our best interest in mind, not his, and also cared about being courteous to the seller. His patience as an agent helped us be patient as buyers. Kelly is a friendly guy who will spend time talking with you even when you know youre not going to put an offer in on a place and he has other appointments to get to. He will answer all your questions thoroughly and make time for you - he has many years of experience and his real estate knowledge is impressive. His response times are also excellent, and we felt confident we would have an email reply from him every time we refreshed our email. He was available any time of day/night - the weekend we got our accepted offer, Kelly was on the phone with us late Friday night and early Saturday morning, despite having family obligations - he was still able to balance it. Our offer was made highly competitive by his creativity with our terms. After our accepted offer Kelly and our loan officer did a great job following up with our dates for the appraisal and other important documents. He still follows up even after closing to check up on our painting project progress. We cannot recommend Kelly enough to be your agent!
Kelly was tremendous in both helping me find and close on a condo in Milwaukee! Scheduling showings was a breeze and he was always able to make it work around my schedule. He also suggested properties as soon as they came up which really helped since the market is so hot right now. When we found the property that I ended up purchasing he provided great advice in putting in offers, and once the offer was accepted, his communication on the deadlines and forms that needed to be completed was superb! I never felt like I was behind on anything, and Kelly always was fast in getting things done on his end. Overall a great experience!
We accidentally ended up with Kelly through a Zillow inquiry and we couldn't have been more lucky! We could not have hand picked a better realtor for our first home buying experience. Not only was Kelly kind, funny and easy to work with, but his exceptional knowledge, attention to detail and honest advice gave us peace of mind we didn't know we needed. He pointed out things in homes we would not have known to look for, steered us away from bad investments and ultimately made us feel very comfortable with our decisions. He answered every email, text and phone call day or night, or got back to us almost immediately. He listened to our feedback and found homes that had all of our most important wish list items and when it came to closing he effectively communicated the expectations and deadlines to make first time home buying so much less intimidating. If we could convince everyone we know to buy or sell through Kelly we would, because we know they would be in the best hands. Thank you Kelly, for a great purchasing experience!
My wife and I cannot recommend Kelly highly enough. He is very professional and extremely knowledgeable in all areas of real estate. Besides being a great agent, he is also a genuinely nice and pleasant person to be around. We knew Kelly would be our agent from the initial meeting. He came prepared with a great attitude and tons of questions to find out about us on a personal level, and what we were looking to achieve from a real estate perspective. He was full of great recommendations and we decided to go with Kelly for both the sale of our current home and the purchase of our new home. For the sale of our old home, he set us up with a staging professional as part of his services (no charge) to get the home looking great for showings. His pricing recommendation was spot-on, and we accepted an exceptional offer the first day on the market. He was great about explaining everything in the offer and next steps in the process. Kelly's expertise was on display with the purchase of our new home. He was very patient and flexible with us as we drove all over the Brookfield-Waukesha area walking through listings. When we found a home we loved, he guided us through the offer process very well. There were multiple offers on the home, and his recommended offer strategy got our offer accepted without leaving money on the table. We hit a few snags when trying to close the deal on both homes. Due to financing issues out of our control, everything almost fell apart on more than one occasion. Kelly went above and beyond to keep everything together and get to the closing table. He was even reaching out to our buyer's lender directly to help them get what they needed to move things forward. I am convinced that we would not be in our new home today without someone as experienced and dedicated as Kelly on our side. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better person to work with for what can be a stressful experience in selling/buying a home. We will recommend Kelly to anyone who asks, and will see if he is still offering his services when it comes time for us to move again. Thank you, Kelly!
Kelly was great to work. He spent considerable time with my wife and I explaining what Shorewest would commit to do to sell our home. Kelly set us up with his Stager who made suggestions regarding interior color changes which we made. His Stager also provided some additional accents for our home. Kelly was very responsive when we had questions after hours. Kelly set us up to receive weekly market analysis updates. Because we put our house on the market right as COVID-19 hit, we felt it imperative to select an agent and real estate company who would provide every type of marketing tool possible. The 3D tour that was done really made a difference and allowed potential buyers to really get a feel for our house without physically stopping by. It was actually shot twice as we painted our cupboards and stairway spindles well into our selling period. Kelly provided a calendar of pre-sale tasks leading right up to the first listing date. Overall we were very happy with Kelly and the Shorewest company.
Kelly was a fantastic realtor for my wife and I. Not only was this our first home, but we were moving across the country back to Wisconsin. Kelly met with us months before we even knew when wed be able to move back and spent nearly 2 hours during that first meeting just walking us through the process. This was even before we told him that we were going to use him as our realtor. When I got a job offer to move home, I called Kelly and asked him what weekend worked for him to show us homes. Kelly freed up his next weekend and we booked our flights home to look at houses (and buy one) over a three day stretch. We made a list of about 12-15 houses and Kelly lined up showings over two days. When we pulled into the driveway for the first house on the first day, Kelly even greeted us with snacks and drinks! After the first day, we went back to one house for a second look, but after some digging by him and helpful advice, we decided to pass. After the second day, we went back to look at a house that we saw the first day and was 2nd on our list. Kelly even allowed my dad and father-in-law to come look at it with us. After we finished looking at it the second time, we told Kelly that this was the one aEUR" we wanted to make an offer. On a Friday night, after two full days with us, Kelly went home and wrote the offer for us that night! After some back and forth with the sellers, we were able to get our first home for about $10,000 less than the current asking price and nearly $40,000 less than what it was initially listed for. Kelly provided helpful advice and guidance throughout the negotiating process but stopped short of pushing us one way or another aEUR" allowing my wife and I to make the final decision. Once we had the accepted offer, Kelly worked even harder, making sure we could close by our agreed upon date aEUR" in less than 30 days. He called me frequently, texted me almost daily and worked with us to get the house all ready for us while we packed our belongings across the country. Kelly was an amazing realtor for us, and we would recommend him to any one of our family or friends. If you want a realtor who will teach you about the home-buying process, advocate for you along the way, give you rock solid advice, and feel more like a friend than a business connection aEUR" Kelly is your realtor! We can not recommend Kelly enough. Thank you Kelly!
Kelly was very knowledgeable, honest and willing to help in any way he could to help the sale of the house. If we had to sell again, we would definitely hire Kelly. He went over and above his duty to help us. We have sold 2 homes in the past and he exceeded them by far.
