★★★★★

I have had the pleasure of working with Kelly Pessis twice – first as the listing agent when I purchased my home in 2015, and most recently when she helped rent my place in March. Both times she exhibited extreme professionalism and kindness, making each transaction as worry-free and seamless as possible. Kelly has her finger on the pulse of the market and was able to hold my hand throughout the entire process with excellent communication each step of the way. I cannot recommend Kelly enough! | janel243

Kelly is an excellent real estate agent! I had a great experience both buying and then leasing the same property with her help. She helped my purchase a home after my house burnt down in Woolsey Fire. She was very thoughtful, caring, going beyond her "duties" while my family have been going through a really rough time. After we rebuilt, she gave me pointed advice on how to get my property ready to lease so I could get the best price. She found great tenants for my property very quickly - it was leased within a month at the higher-end of market value! It's been over a year and the tenants are still there, paying rent on time and taking good care of the property. I highly recommend Kelly to anyone looking for an agent! | K Jones

★★★★★

I highly recommend Kelly as a real estate agent. In past 10 years, she helped me buy two homes, and I couldn't be happier with her services. Kelly is incredibly dedicated and goes above and beyond to research properties and ensure her clients are well-informed about both the positives and negatives of each potential purchase. What truly sets her apart is her integrity. She prioritizes her clients' best interests, even if it means advising against a quick sale. Kelly is more than just an agent; she's a trusted advisor. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking to buy or sell property. | usobotka

★★★★★

Kelly is fantastic. Super easy to work with and knows everything about the process in California. She helped us every step of the way to both buy and sell. She was critical to helping us avoid several potentially big issues with our recent sale. I highly recommend her. | keith94420
