"Kelly was our selling agent and we couldn’t have been more pleased with her service. Because Kelly is so familiar with our neighborhood she knew exactly how to market our home for a fast sale at top dollar. In one weekend our home had multiple offers. Kelly is very professional and walked us through the entire process. She always responds quickly to questions and was just wonderful to work with."

"I was introduced to Kelly by a friend, and I couldn't have been happier with the experience I had in finding my place. Kelly was thorough in our initial talks, when beginning my search, in asking the right questions about my must-haves and can't-stands, and the ideal place. She was professional in helping me understand the market, my options, and was always there to answer questions through the process. If you're looking for an agent in Long Beach, I highly recommend Kelly. She's smart, friendly, and you will be happy that she's there to represent you." - Andy

"I have been renting summer vacation homes for almost 20 years to break from Manhattan and have never worked with anyone as thoughtful and knowledgeable as Kelly. She found the perfect beachfront property on short notice for us. She made herself available even after we moved in for recommendations on everything from top restaurants, to where to shop for organic produce. I hope to work with her to buy a vacation home next. She is a pleasure to work with and knows what Manhattan clients need!
Thank you Kelly !!

"Kelly was a delight to work with. She accommodated our schedule and answered any and all questions we had about the 15+ homes we saw. After selecting our home she was very communicative with us about all next steps. She also handled communication with the listing agent / seller, home inspector and our attorney and all other relevant parties. Kelly was also able to dilute the information so it was easy for us to understand as first time homebuyers.
We would highly recommend working with Kelly Forman!

Kelly is very knowledgeable of the Long Beach, NY housing market and has the professional connections necessary to view units quickly- which is crucial. She provided us detailed information and comparisons and went above and beyond to make sure we were both supported and informed. I would definitely recommend Kelly for your home buying needs!
