Kelly kept us appraised of current comps and activity in the neighborhood. Helped us in putting the house in the best position to sell. Her client orientation is consistently at a high level. Truly demonstrated an understanding of client needs and wishes. Allowed her to anchor her suggestions to client needs which added quality and value to the selling process from initial inquiry, to negotiation, through closing.

We had a great experience working with Kelly. She was very responsive to all of our requests and questions and patient with us when things got stressful. She proposed an efficient sale process, arranged for the staging and photographs, gave us good and thoughtfully critical advice on finishing the house. We had a excellent showing with many potential buyers and we ended up with a very good offer. Overall, a great experience and we would highly recommend her!

I wanted to send you a note thanking you for your hard work in helping us sell our old home and buy our new home.
Our family really enjoyed working with you and appreciate all of the hard work and attention you gave us. I especially appreciate how accessible you were and how quickly you were able to answer all of our questions throughout the process.
We knew going into this process that this would be a very challenging time for our family, and to say you helped ease the frustrations would be an understatement.
Thank you again for all of your time and hard work. We are finally settling into our new home and could not be happier!
Thanks again,

We had such a great experience having Kelly Crowe as our real estate agent. We were able to sale our place in a little over a month. Kelly was so upbeat and encouraging through every step along the way. I just can't say enough about what a positive experience this has been.

Kelly was the real estate agent for two of my friends in Wayne. Both of their homes sold quickly and both were very positive about their experience with Kelly. Wayne can be a tricky place to sell a home. Kelly knows Wayne and the market. She knows how to price, stage and market houses to sell. Kelly will answer any questions you have immediately. She has an extensive list of home improvement professionals that she provides if you need to do repairs or improvements. She guides you in the priority of those improvements. It is easy to want to spend extra money on improvements that really won’t make your house more salable. She has a common sense style to real estate. Our house did sell quickly. It was not all without stress but Kelly helped with every step. If you are looking for a realtor that will sell your house, think of Kelly Crowe. You will be in good hands.

I trust her judgement based on her experience and knowledge of the market in the Western Suburbs. She is a straight shooter and that’s what I love about her. She doesn’t dance around things or sugarcoat it. She simply gets it done. Knowledge, experience, proven track record, hard work, great communication. Thank you again Kelly!!!

Kelly is excellent to work with, she knows her business and really made the process of buying our new home so smooth. Especially since we were doing a fast house hunt & purchase on a very short time frame. Kelly made it all happen with no hassle and enjoyable through the whole sale process. Thank you Kelly I truly appreciate the extra details to my criteria and all the helpful direction along the way. We let Kelly refer us to our lender as well as attorney and we were more than pleased working with these referrals. I give Kelly 5 stars & would refer her with high confidence that she will do a great job for you too.

Kelly Crowe was really GREAT to work with. Any questions I had, she would have the answer, or if not she would take the initiative to find out. I would definitely refer my friends and family to her!

We would definitely give Kelly a five star rating. She was a tremendous help in our relocation to the Chicago area. She quickly picked up on our likes/dislikes and arranged for relevant viewings making the most of our limited time during trips to the area. She also provided valuable input when needed, but was not overbearing. She helped us through the contract negotiations and recommended/arranged for numerous thorough inspections. She is very attentive to detail and we could not have been more pleased with her services.

Kelly Crowe has been our realtor through the sale of a home and the purchase of a new home upon our return from out of state 4 years later. What makes Kelly our go-to realtor?
Because she tells the truth, even when it’s hard.
Back when the market was at the very beginning of the collapse, we just so happened to need to move out of state at that time. We had put a bunch of money into our townhome renovating it within the prior 5 years before that and had bought it at the high. This was going to be ugly. How did Kelly handle it? She told the truth. She didn’t sugar coat anything. She was realistic about how this was going to look. She set our expectations honestly and correctly at the outset. We can say that other folks in our neighborhood did not have such honest realtors. Their expectations were not set correctly, they were not told the truth. That got ugly.
But Kelly walked us (and at times, hugged us) through it to make lemonade out of lemons. Not only did our townhome sell on the high end, she priced it such that a bidding war occurred, helping us to maximize the sale price of our home.
Upon our return from out of state, we called Kelly right back to help us find our next Chicagoland home. She communicated with us continuously, professionally and timely to meet all of our needs across many months of working together during our transition back. We love our new home.
Kelly knows her stuff. She is good people. She is honest, caring, professional, knowledgeable, experienced and efficient. She watches out for you.
So stop reading this and go call Kelly Crowe right now. And start packing.

I will try keeping this short and sweet.
Kelly is amazing. She is not pushy and great to work with. She really took her time helping us find our first home, and made sure that all of our needs were met. She took us through re-sale value, escrow, DIY potential, school district, and other things that most first time home buyers are a bit clueless about. Kelly always answered my questions with kindness and respect…even if I had to ask her to walk me through things like a toddler. Her availability is second to none; she was always in contact back within 24 hours at most. In the end we found a house we love, right on target with our budget.
Also Kelly has amazing contacts; she referred us to a mortgage broker as wonderful as herself, a home inspector, a lawyer, and even plumbers and contractors. Kelly seems to know everyone you would need to buy/fix/inspect/maintain a home; and they are all very honest and reputable people.
The Bottom Line is this: some people say “I really care about my clients” and do not practice what they preach. Kelly is not one of those people. She cares deeply about her clients and does anything she can to help. I can say honestly that whenever we trade up for our next home, we will call Kelly to sell it and help us buy a new one. Her availability is second to none; she was always in contact back within 24 hours at most. In the end we found a house we love, right on target with our budget!

Kelly was extremely helpful and knowledgeable through out the whole process. She helped us a lot when it came to staging our home, offered great advice during the negotiation, and patiently answered all of our questions. Being apart of the mortgage industry I've dealt with a lot of realtors and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kelly to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

We bought our first house with Kelly about 12 years ago and she helped us sell it a few months ago. She's truly an expert on the Fox Valley area and provides a professional level of service that makes buying or selling a home with her a great experience. She's thorough, follows through and gets the job done. Kelly offers great advice and makes what can be a stressful process into a smooth and fun event!

Kelly is the best agent out there. She knows her clients, and knows exactly what to look for in a house. I would highly recommend Kelly to anyone in the market for a house or property. She is very knowledgeable in housing locations, with regards to busy streets and or railroad noise etc., best school districts, and overall what house suits your basic needs and wants. She is terrific at negotiations, and knows exactly what to ask for before and during closing. Kelly is the not only a great agent, she is a outstanding person. We can't thank her enough for all her hard work she put into getting the house of our dreams.

"Kelly was very patient with us when viewing homes. She understood early in the process what it is we were looking for, and guided us when inquiring about homes we wanted to view. She was accommodating with our schedule and meeting us separately then taking either of us back to the same home later on. She had great input on how to view the possibilities in homes when we asked, and tolerated our sense of humors very well. We would highly recommend her."

Kelly did an outstanding job finding us our dream home in a very competitive area in Geneva. Her knowledge and experience allowed us to see and purchase our home the minute it was ready to go on the market. She was always available for calls and questions throughout the entire process. She kept us up to date throughout the entire sale of our previous home. This was our second time using Kelly and both experiences were exceptional.

Kelly's pre-sale advice and negotiating expertise enabled us to sell our house in a week in a tough market. The other houses on the street are still for sale. She is very familiar with the area which helped greatly in setting a realistic price for the house. We recommend her highly.

Kelly was so wonderful to work with. It took us 3 years to find the right home for me! She understood the needs and the struggles I needed to overcome and worked so well with me.

We had a very positive experience working with The Crowe Team. This was our first time purchasing and they were so patient and kind educating us through the process and recommending amazing industry professionals such as a mortgage lender, attorney, and home inspection company. We never felt like they were trying to "sell" or push us into a place. We had picky high expectations and it took a while to find the perfect condo, but once we did they sprung into action and got the deal done and we feel very happy with what was negotiated. We appreciated how well they communicated. We were never wondering what was going on or what needed to happen next. We would 100% recommend them

Kelly was fantastic. She helped us with suggestions for getting our home ready to put on the market, and talked us through the entire process of selling a home. Once we were ready, she got our listing ready and online very quickly. She followed up with potential buyers and returned with feedback for us, so we knew how interested buyers were and if we should make changes to the house. Kelly had great recommendations for other professionals that we needed, including mortgage brokers, lawyers, cleaning services, painters, inspectors, etc. Once we had an offer, Kelly helped us find a new home to buy; she was available to show us houses whenever it fit our schedules, making it easy for us to find a home quickly. And after our offer had been accepted, Kelly was still there, checking that everything was going smoothly; she'd alway let us know where we were in the process, what we had to do to next, and when everything finally went though for our closing. She even checked on us after we moved, just to check how things went. Everything was so easy with her help, and we love our new house. The entire process of selling our home and buying a new one was really easy with Kelly's help. She detailed every aspect of each stage of selling our home without overloading us with too much information. She was always available to answer questions, and was quick to pass on feedback from potential buyers. She was always gave us her honest opinion, too. Once we had an offer, she was ready again to walk us through the steps and all the paperwork for accepting the offer and making our own offer on a house. Kelly was always prepared for anything that came up and helped us handle all the situations we came across; she made the entire process go as smoothly as possible.

Kelly was recommended to us by a friend. We were already living in California, and she helped us to sell our home having never actually met us in person. Kelly was always professional, kind and knowledgeable. She referred us to everyone we needed and was always prompt in responding to our needs. We could not have gotten through the process without her on our side.

Kelly helped us buy our first home, 12 years ago, and was so kind and helpful, that we were happy to work with her again, when we were ready to sell that home and move to a larger one. She made great suggestions on how to get our place ready to sell (without overdoing it or spending a lot), and helped us find and coordinate services to get it done. It worked, and we got a good offer shortly after listing! When it came to house hunting, she understood our vision of what we were looking for, and kept us on track to find it. The market was moving fast, and we hit a few bumps, but she was always available throughout the challenging moments to guide us and keep the process moving. We ended up finding a home we love, and we thank her for all her help!! I would definitely recommend working with Kelly for your real estate needs!

Hi Kelly,
Thank you for your excellent work to make my client's purchase a success for your listing located at 5 N 187 Elm Rd, Wayne, IL 60184. Please see the attached note from the CEO of Compass, congratulating all of us on completing a closing in less than 30 days from the date the file was turned in and encouraging us to take note that we just accomplished something that is not typical in the marketplace. So thank you, as you helped make this a success and a job well done, and if you know of anyone else who would appreciate, quick, professional and honest service like this, I would love to have the opportunity to serve them as well and would greatly appreciate your referrals.
Thank you,
"

I was frequently out of town during the preparation of my home for sale and Kelly was always willing to help get someone into the house when I couldn't be there. She would also put me in touch with people to get repairs made or inspections completed in a timely fashion.Kelly knows the local market extremely well; my home had an offer a day before it went on the market, because Kelly gave me great ideas to prep my home and she priced it right.I can't say enough good things about Kelly's work ethic and dedication to making the entire selling process easy.

Kelly Crowe is an excellent agent. She was always there for us when we had questions. She dealt with all of the things that we did not have time for. Helped us make decisions on pricing, banking and legal issues. She is always kind and thoughtful when dealing with us. Also when things get a little tricky, she will take her gloves off and and fight for her clients. All in all I think she is a great agent, but most importantly she is a wonderful person to know.

Kelly Crowe from Baird & Warner -St. Charles:Kelly was able to direct us into the perfect area for us in the 2 towns we were considering moving to. She considered our top "must haves" and never tried to get us to compromise on what we were looking for. She was patient and quickly caught on to our tastes and preferences for our ideal new home. She was instrumental in guiding us in the home buying process with negotiating details we were not knowledable in or comfortable with. Our only regret with working with Kelly is that we didn't ask her for a mortgage broker referral. The home inspector and pest inspector companies she obtained for us were prompt, professional and reasonably priced. Kelly was the one shining star in the team of professionals we put together for our new home aquisition. Wish everyone on the team was as professional, knowledgeable and expert in their respective fields as Kelly was. Definitely a 5 star realtor to us!

Kelly was very patient with working with me to find my first home! She continued to work with me over a span of a couple years until it was the perfect timing for me to buy. She was very quick to respond to my questions and emails/phone calls, and very flexible with my schedule when scheduling property showings. I would definitely recommend her to anyone seeking to buy a home!

We would highly recommend Kelly to anyone! She took the time to help us get our house ready for sale. We had no idea who to call for help with painting, electrical, etc. and she was always ready to help. Our house was marketed in a completely professional way, and we were able to quickly sell it for what we wanted - we never would have gotten the results we wanted without her- Megan and Rich

We have had the opportunity to use Kelly Crowe for both a home purchase and home sale. She worked tirelessly for us, showing us a multitude of homes. She knows the market, and the area, we did not, we trusted her fully. She was so intuned to what our needs were. We found a lovely home, Kelly guided us through the offer and negotiation phase expertly. We enjoyed the home from every aspect, size, location, etc. When we were transferred four years later, she worked as hard for our sale. We sold very quickly, a reflection of her hard work and diligence not only in the marketing materials, etc. she developed for the sale, but by her leading us to a desirable property from the very beginning.

Kelly assisted my wife and I in buying our first home. Kelly helped us through every single step of buying a home. Kelly continually sent us properties that matched what we were looking for and was very flexible when our thoughts about what we wanted our first home to be changed. Kelly also referred us to a lender and attorney to assist us through the home purchasing process and we were extremely pleased with those parties as well. Overall, I don't think buying our first home could have been any easier thanks to Kelly. I know that if my wife and I are looking for another home in the future, contacting Kelly will be one of the first things we do.

Kelly is a great agent. She helped us narrow down a great home that should re-sell well in the Fox Valley when we move from here in five to seven years.

In spring of 2017, my husband and I decided it was time to downsize to our dream home in a very focused area of downtown Geneva. Since Kelly helped us find our first home 9 years ago when we were transferred to Illinois, we of course called her again to find our new home. Kelly went right to work, contacting her colleagues and getting us to properties as soon as they were on the market. Within 2 months, she found us the perfect home. She quickly shifted gears to sell our existing home. We were on the market in days and in early 2018 moved to our new home and sold our existing home! We couldn't be happier with everything Kelly does for her clients.

One of the most helpful things about Kelly is how available she is. She always responds quickly to questions and scheduling showings. Kelly is very knowledgeable. She helped us pick the best home location and avoid locations which wouldn’t be a good fit for us. She also learned what we are looking for and that helped us choose the right house.

Kelly was great to work with. We were first time home buyers and were looking everywhere in the western suburbs from Elmhurst South to Lemont and West to Aurora. Kelly’s schedule was very flexible and would meet us on short notice if we found a house we wanted to see. During the showings she was very involved and was honest when we asked her thoughts on things. During the home inspection she was right there the whole time to tell us what was serious and what wasn’t. She was also very involved during the closing. A few weeks after closing she left a nice gift at our door! Kelly comes highly recommended.

I met Kelly by accident when I wanted to see one of her listings and wasn't working with an agent. That listing sold but I stayed with Kelly and she was amazing. She can look at a property and really communicate with you if it fits your needs, not only right now but in the future. She really knows real estate and the area and I had immediate trust in her. We found the best property on a very snowy day and she was beside me every step of the way. I would highly recommend Kelly!

From the moment I met Kelly I knew she would work hard to sell my home fast-and she did! She is very friendly, personable and shoots it to you straight. I like that! As a homeowner we tend to get very emotionally attached to our homes and feel buyers should appreciate and pay for things about our home we value, but it's not necessarily or usually what the buyer will value. Kelly is very, very good at explaining what is great and valued about your home and what may not be seen as value-add to a potential buyer. She won't offend you, but she won't sugar-coat it either. She's there to help you sell your home-it's in both her and your best interest! Listen you Kelly, heed her advice, don't take offense and you will not go wrong. I really appreciate Kelly's recommendation to use a Stager for our home. It's very easy to become complacent when decorating and it's amazing what you can produce when viewed through another's professional eye! I used all my own decor, furniture and art. I only made minimal investment into paint for touch-ups and of course, my own time. But it made a world of difference! Kelly followed up on all the showings and drove the sale. My home sold in 12 days! There were multiple offers on the home and I ended up getting list price. My advice to homeowner's getting ready to list is clear the clutter and don't take offense, clean, clean, clean and accept every showing request. It may seen painful but for a short while especially when you sell your home in 12 days instead of 60+! THANK YOU KELLY!

We live in California, rented our house for a couple of years due to soft market conditions. Once we were ready to purchase a house in CA, we needed to sell our Geneva IL home. We looked at various realtors in the area. They were helpful and honest. But our home needed work: new carpet, new paint, landscaping. Trying to manage all of these efforts 2,000 miles would be a challenge. While in town for a weekend, I bumped into Kelly at a Home Depot who was just helping me with opinions, etc....without even knowing our situation. Once I told her what we needed, she immediately offered to help with the repair work. And with that, we signed up with Kelly. Kelly arranged for trades to send quotes and do the work. This was extremely helpful to us that most realtors did not offer at all. Once the work was done, home went to market in a challenged location. Kelly's marketing efforts and persistence helped sell our home in a timely fashion. If you are looking for a realtor that is persistent, thinks outside the box and is willing to go the extra mile to help you, sign up with Kelly. We are glad that we did!

Although my home was well maintained and in a desirable neighborhood, the size and layout of the rooms were challenging so it was on the market for a while. I needed to move before the house sold and Kelly not only looked in on it frequently, but also recommended a plumber and a heating repairman for some minor problems that arose. She chased down several leads until she found a couple who absolutely loved the charm of my older house.

Kelly has to be the friendliest, most knowledgeable and aggressive realtor in the Fox Valley. Not only does she know homes, but each of the neighborhoods. She was extremely helpful in negotiating the entire process. I will use her again for all real estate transactions.

We probably didn't say enough how much we appreciated your good help in finding the right living arrangement for Mike. You were incredibly helpful and very responsive to precisely what it was that we wanted. You made sure that we had a good selection to choose from and were very straightforward in describing the pluses and the minuses of the various possibilities. You were forever warm, gracious, fun and superbly professional. It was our great fortune to have you help us.

From the first moment until the transaction was closed, I was thankful that I chose Baird and Warner’s agent Kelly Crowe as my realtor. Whether it was preparing for showings, suggestions for for property improvements, scheduling the showings, negotiations with offers, or consistently updating me with status reports, she was focused, caring, and a true professional. I forgot what it was like to move but having Kelly there to assist made all the difference it go smoothly. Thank you.

Kelly has been extremely responsive, warm and kind as of our first meeting. As a first-time house-seller on a limited budget for repair and remodel of an early mid-century ranch I had many MANY newbie questions and anxieties, and a tricky schedule to negotiate the entire process. I cannot say enough about Kelly's tireless, expert and immediate responses to my sometimes multiple times per-day calls with sometimes panicked questions about all aspects of preparation, marketing, showing, and selling. As a long-time Geneva resident herself Kelly provides an ïmbedded" knowledge of the area, of buyer's expectations and preferences and potential concerns. With her expert guidance I was able to address those aspects of repair and remodel which were most likely to concern or conversely attract buyers and to hire honest, efficient and highly-knowledgeable contractors as well as to avoid potentially expensive and less useful "fixes". With larger projects addressed quickly through Kelly's contractor contacts early showings yielded some concerns from viewers about cosmetics. Again, Kelly was able to guide me through the most effective and budget-conscious choices for both remodel and repair as well as to price the house correctly. With Kelly leading the charge the house was sold within two months of listing. I'm thrilled to have sold in such a short time, with the minimum of expense and disruption and in retrospect to have been so supported through the process - many warm and relieved thanks to Kelly and the Baird and Warner team!

Kelly was extremely knowledgeable and persistent in trying to sell my town home. She was also always incredibly responsive and easy to reach which I also appreciated. Kelly was never afraid to have the tough conversations with me about what we needed to do in order to sell my home. She was very friendly but I always felt like her top priority was always to sell my house. This is what I look for in a realtor. I would HIGHLY recommend Kelly Crowe.

I highly recommend Kelly Crowe as someone to help sell one's home. I contacted Kelly on a Saturday afternoon, wanting to list my condo for sale. By Saturday night she had my place listed. On Sunday I had one showing, likewise one more each on Monday and Tuesday. She called on Wednesday to say that I had an offer, which I accepted that night. Four days on the market and sold--amazing! Kelly has a wonderful understanding of the local market. She guided me through all of the steps in the selling process and was always available to answer my questions. What a great realtor!

We did our research in picking a realtor and it REALLY paid off! Kelly was on top of every aspect of our home search and purchase process. Kelly was fast to respond to our inquires, knowledgeable about the areas we were interested in (we were shopping from out of state), and made it a point to accommodate our travel schedules. Kelly is also an awesome negotiator and was super helpful walking us through the buying process and answering our closing questions. Kelly is just the VERY best!! (And we LOVE our new home!)

Kelly was an unbelievable partner in our quest for finding a new home. She listened to our "wish list" and provided us many options from which to choose. Her understanding of not only our desires, but of the area's offerings was an unparalleled match. Her ability to negotiate on our behalf, understanding fully our goals was indicative of her knowing us for years, and yet we happened upon Kelly as we inquired about a property. We are thrilled to have met Kelly and now know our that if any friends were to say they were going to place their home on market, we would emphatically say....Kelly!!! She's the way to go.

"Selling a house during a pandemic is not an easy job! It is also not easy to sell your buyers house and advise everyone during these scary days! These are tough times but it worked out great! Kelly followed through with everything and did a great job!"

I can’t say enough about Kelly. Her knowledge about the area, her willingness to work with me and the items that came up through the process. Kelly helped me buy the home then sell it when changes came about in my life. Kelly is a true professional and top notch! Thank you for everything Kelly

We had been house hunting for nearly 5 months before switching agents to Kelly based on several of our friends recommendations. In hindsight, this was by far the best decision we could have made. When we finally found what we were looking for, Kelly literally dropped everything and put together an offer letter in under 30 minutes. There was no way I was going to let this house slip away and Kelly made sure that it didn’t. Kelly is insightful and patient; not pushy and full of buzz words. She kept us on track and wasn’t afraid to remind us of what our initial goal was, or other important considerations such as school quality or highway noise. She is also highly respected by her peers. We had a bad experience with our previous agent and our attorney recommended finding a new agent. When we told him who we were going with the first thing out of his mouth was “I’m so happy to hear that. Love, Love, Love, Kelly! You’re absolutely in great hands.” He was right, we were.

Kelly is one of the hardest working agents I've experienced, and I've dealt with about a dozen over my career. She took the time to understand the properties pluses, and minuses, and how to overcome possible obstacles. She's honest and forthright, something that can't always be said for people in the real estate game. I would highly recommend her.

My wife and I had never bought a house before and were quite nervous, but working with Kelly made the process seem so simple. The good news is Kelly helped us to quickly buy our "forever" home, the bad news is she did such a good job that we'll probably never be in the market to buy a home again.I would 100% recommend anyone work with Kelly when buying or selling a home. Another absolutely invaluable benefit that Kelly brings to her clients is the team of professionals she works with and recommends ( lawyer, mortgage broker, home inspector, etc. etc.). Kelly's experience, organization, and professionalism made her an absolute joy to work with from initial meeting through the closing. -Todd & Laura

Kelly helped me to short sale my home. She ended up spending over a year of her time getting Wells Fargo to accept my short sale. Without her expertise and diligence my home would have foreclosed. I am thankful to her forever and would recommend her to family and friends. She was simply amazing.

Contacted Kelly after reading her reviews online. Very glad we did. Kelly showed us multiple properties in our price range and even recommended mortgage lenders to contact. She negotiated a deal that was better than we expected. Would highly recommend Kelly.

Kelly worked with me twice and the sale on my home. I originally put it up for sale back in 2018 but decided timing wasn't right and took it off the market until June of 2020. Kelly was very understanding about this and didn't push me to keep it on the market. When I decided to relist it in 2020, Kelly was ready and the timing was great. She was very responsive to my questions and followed up on all leads. In addition to being very knowledgeable and knowing the market, she is a genuinely nice and kind person. I'd refer Kelly to anyone wanting to sell their home

Kelly was with me every step of the way as I bought my first new home.
A friend of mine recommended Kelly because she is great with first time home buyers. Kelly made it a point to explain what I should expect from each part of the home buying process. She listened to me and helped me find a home with the features I wanted. When it was time to make an offer she helped negotiate a price that I was happy with. She was wonderful to work with.
I would highly recommend Kelly to anyone who is looking for a realtor!

I loved working with Kelly. She was there every step of the way through the whole process. I was a first time home buyer and a bit nervous, but she kept me calm and focused. She was very knowledgeable about the area, pricing and the entire buying process. She gave me good advice and made me feel extra comfortable in my final decision! I will absolutely refer her to anyone looking for a great, friendly, reliable agent.

"Kelly was there every step of the way as we bought our first home. The process can be confusing and overwhelming but she never got annoyed or frustrated by all of our questions. Kelly was always a text or call away and gave us great advice and insight through every step of the process. We really appreciated that we never felt like she was trying to sell us on something. She was always on our side to find the right home and fit for us, not looking to push us into a quick sale. We really couldn't recommend her more!"

Kelly showed us many homes before we found the right one. It was a short sale, and Kelly explained to us the pros and cons of a short sale. She stayed on top of everything and promptly informed us what was happening. She guided us on what the next steps were and what we needed to do. I would highly recommend Kelly.

Kelly was assigned to me to help me with my relocation to the DeKalb area. Kelly was a pleasure to work with and shared her insights about the community and was able to respond to our needs and concerns. Kelly was very patient and kind.

We couldn't have been more grateful to have Kelly as our agent. From the initial phone call, I knew we were in good hands. She's a go-getter at the top of her game without the high strung intensity. Her warm, calm and genuinely friendly personality is the perfect temperament for this business. She handled every situation with expert professionalism while putting everyone at ease with her style and grace.
She understood our priority to sell quickly and amazed and overjoyed us by how fast she put our house on the market and sold — 57 days from our first meeting with her to the closing date!

Kelly was fabulous to work with! My parents referred her to us, as she helped them move into their new home and we were so pleased. From day one, she was entrenched in not only selling our home, but helping us find a home for our expanding family. She was responsive, advocated for us and did everything she said she'd do! -Ginny & Mike

This was me and my fiance's first home buying experience and Kelly was extremely helpful and very responsive throughout the entire process. She was always flexible with showing us houses when it worked with our schedule and with booking last minute showings. Even after closing on our house, she has been a great resource and always quick to respond. I'd highly recommend her.

My adult daughter and I had the great good fortune of first meeting Kelly Crowe 9 years ago, when we had inherited a townhouse in one of the Oakhurst subdivisions. The home was to be completely rehabbed, and we were eager to see the inside of the same townhouse and thought that one being listed would be an ideal example for this purpose. We found the home that bore a Baird & Warner sign with Kelly's name on it and promptly phoned her. She was very eager to help us out and met us the same day and showed us the home we had found. We thanked her but indicated we were not in a buying frame of mind at that time but would hold onto her business card for future contact. Well, the townhouse we inherited was extensively rehabbed, and my daughter has been living in it for the past (almost) 9 years. She is an only child, and I am her only parent. There are 35 miles between us, and we both have driven these miles endlessly back and forth. This past Summer of 2016, we finally decided this was the time to be serious about finding me a home and, hopefully, it would be in the same or a neighboring Oakhurst subdivision. and finally put an end to the 70-mile round trip to visit one another. I told my daughter the thing to do was to call that pleasant young woman from B&W who had been so helpful to us 9 years ago. I called Kelly, left a detailed message about our first contact with her 9 years ago, and she promptly called me back ... and, amazingly, said she remembered us! Apparently, Kelly's instinct for retaining potential clients' contact information, along with brief descriptions of said clients, is an excellent source for developing future successful outcomes, for both parties. Kelly was more than happy to accommodate our request to be provided with listings of nearby townhouse properties for us to review and evaluate. This went on for a couple of months and then, because I wanted very much to live in my daughter's subdivision, word came to me that a townhouse end unit, identical to that of my daughter, in her subdivision, even on her street, a few quad rows over, was going to become available. I then promptly looked up this property on zillow.com and found said townhouse, reviewed the photos, and just knew that was the one! I informed Kelly of this property, and she determined there was no listing yet for this property. She approached the seller on our behalf, indicating she had an interested party and was able to secure for us a date and time where we could come inside to see the townhouse first-hand. And so we did, and then again for a second visit, and it was at that visit a decision was made to make an offer to the seller. Kelly tendered that offer, and after a bit of back-and-forth bartering, a selling price for the townhouse was arrived at. Kelly' s intimate knowledge of how these deals work was further reflected in arranging for a house inspection, which more than proved itself useful to us, as a structural defect in an overhead beam in the attached garage was discovered. The repair of this defect fell upon the seller, and the cost was significant and, absent a house inspection, would have fallen upon me. Kelly expertly shepherded us through the entire process from beginning to end, and even though we encountered several false starts as regards our closing date (on the part of the seller), we finally got to closing on January 4, 2017. My daughter and I are absolutely delighted with the purchase, the proximity of my home to hers, and that we had such a wonderful experience with Kelly. She is thorough, knowledgeable, extremely helpful and more than willing to go the extra mile to achieve the desired result. Without qualification, I would give Kelly Crowe the highest of marks as an outstanding realtor, on top of her game, and someone other buyers and/or sellers should seek out for assistance with their own real estate ventures. She is the best, and we would absolutely use her again, if need be, one day, and would certainly recommend her wholeheartedly
