Kelley is a rock; efficient, experienced, calm, cool, collected. She is also a rock star realtor. Recently I have worked with her both as a seller and a buyer and after these experiences, I trust her implicitly for real estate transactions. While I was selling one home and buying another (both in locations I did not live), she thought of and did everything that needed to get done. She had my back when surprises came up, communicated well and explained everything I didn’t understand, and was always working hard to make the experience flow seamlessly for me. While selling, Kelley staged the home well, and was always ahead of anything that came up, securing multiple offers. While buying, Kelley respected my wishes, listened to what I wanted and found the perfect fit; I ended up buying a house she found for me at a wonderful price. I was thrilled with the ending sales price on both homes. Over the two projects, she has proved herself to be a diligent researcher, a master organizer and networker, and a savvy negotiator. I would not hesitate to recommend Kelley and will continue to rely on her for future real estate needs.

My first experience working with Kelley, she assisted me in finding tenants that always paid their rent on time. At that time, I wasn’t aware that she was a full time real estate agent. I found that she was very thorough in her vetting process and followed through with everything, and continued to stay in touch and keep me informed over the years. In 2020 the property caught fire and Kelley assisted me in handling the insurance company and the rebuilding of the property including vetting the contractor to rebuild it. Most recently, Kelley represented me in the sale of that home in the end of 2023. Again, she followed through and even though there was a delay in closing, due to a system-wide breach of the lenders, Kelley stayed on top of everything and everything closed smoothly after that. I depended a lot on Kelley, and to put it frankly, if ever I was in a crisis again, I would want Kelley on my side.

Calvin P., Seller of 42475 Kansas Street

Kelley was amazing. A semi-difficult sell situation, and she was able to coordinate and provide insight that led to a timely listing and within the desired timeframe. We are from the East Coast, and she was able to educate us about the “West Coast Process” of selling a home. We would recommend her without question!
Darren W., Seller of 90 Corte Del Bayo in Larkspur

Where do we start…We highly recommend Kelley Eling as your next agent! She walked us through the sale of our home and was informative with the purchase of our new home. She sold our home within 10 days. She is very knowledgeable about every aspect of the Real Estate industry. We plan to use Kelley again in the near future. THANK YOU!

Kelley did an amazing job for us. We could not be happier with her knowledge and professionalism.
Kim T., Seller of 42945 Massachusetts Court 

Kelley did an amazing job of selling my rental house during the pandemic. She was able to organize all of the repairs for me and was on site to make sure they were done correctly.
Lisa T., Seller of 77040 Utah Circle 

Kelley is simply the best! She is a consummate professional and a wonderful human being! She knows her trade through and through and is always willing to go the extra mile to help out her clients.
Seth D. Buyer of 17619 Johnson Avenue 

Hi Kelley. Just wanted to say thank you for getting our house sold. I appreciate how hard you worked to orchestrate all that needed to be done to get it ready.  What a Pandora’s box! Wishing you the best in the new year.  Sharon
Sharon P., Seller of 71795 San Gorgonio and 77215 Indiana 

Kelley made finding a house a good experience. She really knows the area and gave us a lot of good tips. She handled everything in a professional manner and her friendly personality helped to limit the stress of buying a house. So pleased. Will for sure recommend her to others.
Nancy B., Buyer of 74301 Chicory 

Kelley helped us find and close on a home in Palm Desert. She was very patient with us as we learned the market. Her highest and best value came in the inspection process; she know so many highly skilled people who can help figure out any issues that an older home may have.
John K., Buyer of 48285 Prairie Drive 

“I enjoyed working with Kelley because she is very detail oriented and has her listings down to a science. I learned plenty while working and collaborating with Kelley. If you aren’t working with me, then I highly recommend working with her :-)”
Another Agent

Kelley did a great job helping us get our home setup for maximum value in the sale. Her extensive knowledge of the Palm Desert area was the reason we opted to hire Kelley to find our required list of features in our new home. As we lived out of state her in depth knowledge took the worry out of the home buying process.
Paul P., seller of 27655 Avenida Maravilla and buyer of 43530 Illinois 

Kelley helped us with buying an investment property in Palm Desert. Working with her was a wonderful experience.  As a remote investor who lives far away from the desert, it was crucial for us to find the right agent who is familiar and knowledgeable with the area. We are grateful for her professionalism, honesty and responsiveness.  At the end, we purchased a good investment properties at a reasonable price. Thank you Kelley and we are looking forward to working with you again.

Zee, buyer of 77302 Missouri and 42960 Wisconsin

Kelley sold my home a few days after I hired her. Amazing! She has a formula for a successful transaction that is well thought out, and she executed it according to plan with perfection. I had to scramble to move my furniture before the escrow closed, and she was a great help with that project as well. If you want to sell a home she is the only choice.

Jim K., seller of 76904 Kentucky

I highly recommend Kelley. She has a formulas that is fast and easy for the seller and buyer. Her expertise and professional advice facilitated the sale of this property (well over the asking price) and had something unforeseen occurred with the primary buyer she had a backup buyer prepared to take over the purchase. I can’t say enough positive remarks about Kelley.
Barbara S., Seller of 76891 New York

“We hired Kelley when we bought our place in Sonoma in 2003. And when it came time to sell, we called on Kelley again.

Kelley worked side by side with us to help transition the tenant out of the property and prepare the home for market. The home had been neglected by the tenant and Kelley gave us suggestions on what to do to maximize the sales price without maximizing our expenses.

At Kelley’s insistence we provided full disclosure about the property to all potential buyers, even though we were hesitant to do so at first, thinking it might dissuade some people. Based on her experience Kelley knew that it would work very well in our favor. And it did.

Kelley provided factual descriptions of the property and high resolution, realistic images. She really knows how to draw the viewers in and walk them through the home, giving a true perspective so there was no surprises or disappointments when buyers toured the home and the property.

In fact, within hours of going on the market we were having showings and people wanting to write offers. But we waited until after two Sunday open houses to make sure that everyone that was interested would be afforded an opportunity to write an offer.

We received multiple offers and ended up choosing the lowest offer rather than highest. We wanted to give a young couple the same chance we were afforded when we bought the property—which was also a multiple offer situation. Kelley was able to guide us through the process in both instances.

We highly recommend Kelley whether you are selling or purchasing a home. We would definitely hire her again.“
–Renee R., seller 560 East Thomson

“Kelley and I have been working together for quite some time.

Kelley has sold 3 properties for me personally. On the first one, I didn’t listen to a word of her advice–namely on the correct pricing to attract buyers. That first property sat for about 30 days before we got an offer. On the next 2 I stepped aside and let her do what she does best, and the properties went into multiple offers in less than a week and we sailed through escrow without a hitch.

Being in the vacation rental business, I have worked with many other agents in the past here in the desert. Let me just say that most do not have the skills that Kelley so easily possesses.

I have clients that want second homes, as well as investors that are looking for rental property. When I am called in to look at a property as a short term rental and it doesn’t meet the vacation rental market criteria, I call Kelley in to discuss the possibility of a long term rental or the sale of the property with the owner. I know that by having her get involved with my clients and homeowners, she will be truthful, and use her years of experience to service them well.

Our most recent venture together went smoothly as usual with Kelley at the helm. One of my property owners had decided that he wanted to sell his short term rental…managed by me…and leave the valley all together. Kelley hit the ground running and had his property in escrow within 48 hours of going on the market.

In addition to selling homes Kelley has quickly found quality long term tenants for my homeowners who would do better financially as long term rather than as a vacation rental.

My best recommendation is to stop looking…you have found your agent. Just do everything she recommends and all will be well.“
Adi Gross, Owner
Palm Desert Vacation Rentals

Kelley is a patient and knowledgeable agent. We were looking for a house in 2 different markets and there were 4 of us involved in buying our home. She knew both markets very well, which helped immensely. She was flexible and was willing to work with our schedule to see properties. We saw a lot of  houses. Kelley gave her opinion when asked and always remained honest and professional. We will hire Kelley again when we sell our home and look for another one. I would recommend Kelley to any of my friends or colleagues looking to sell or purchase a home.
Laytinya S, buyer of 110 Kenwood

“Thank you, Kelley, so much. You have been the glue and as always a constant pro, and a dream to work with.”
Amy R., buyer in 2002 and seller in 2017 of 651 Cherry Avenue 

 “Kelley is an amazing full time agent who looks out for her clients and keeps people honest. If you’re looking to buy or sell your home Kelley is the obvious choice.”
Gabe K., seller of 70100 Mirage Cove 

“Kelley did an amazing job selling my home in Palm Desert. She had me do a home inspection prior to listing the property. This was a good move as we then disclosed all the issues with the property up-front. In doing so, all the potential buyers were well aware of everything right away and this made the whole process quicker and much easier down the road. She sold my home in a very short amount of time and at my asking price (which was higher per square foot than other comparable properties in the area). There was not much more that I could have asked for. Should you wish to sell your home, I would highly recommend her.”
Robert S. seller of 76929 Kentucky Avenue.

“Amazing. You killed it!”
Josh S., seller of 42945 Texas Street

Dear Kelley,

I can’t thank you enough for the amazing job you did selling our home. From the very beginning you were hands on, attentive and most of all knew exactly what needed to be done in order to protect us from any future liability. All in all you were very professional and well versed in today’s market where a seller has to put up with quite a lot in order to sell.

It was a bit touch and go there as we neared the end of our deal. Knowing that, you were so confident and calm while we went up and down on this rollercoaster ride.

Thank you for making the deal happen and holding our hand along the way.

You are really the best!! There is no substitute. 🙂

Adoreen, seller of 408 Vendola, 26 Roosevelt and 35 Ridge Road

We cannot say enough good things about Kelley who guided us through our house hunting experience with her personal commitment to find us the perfect home…which she did. We are international clients, which made financing even more complicated than usual but thankfully, Kelley’s experience helped  guide us through that as well. She also helped manage our occasional disappointments which are inevitable in such an overheated market! We got the house we wanted at the right price. When we first met, Kelley assured us that she would find us the house that was waiting for us which she did. We had many brokers seeking our business but felt Kelley gave us the greatest sense of personal service which is so important. Without reservation, we highly recommend Kelley.
Didi, buyer of 40 Crest Avenue

Kelley is a superstar agent. She represented us when we bought our first home about 2 years ago. She really guided us through the process. She definitely knows the ins and outs of the process, and has excellent negotiating skills. She’s a Marin County native and knows all of the markets and  sub-markets in Marin. But what impressed me the most about her was her patience. It took us several months to find our house. We looked at countless houses during those months, and not once did Kelley suggest that we settle for anything that fell short of our dream home. I would definitely recommend Kelley!
Thanks Kelley. Very good advocacy.
Roger, Civil Rights Attorney, buyer of 49 Cushing

“Kelley helped us buy our home in Tiburon but she has stayed in contact after the sale. keeping us up to date on the local market, interest rates, etc. She is thoughtful and fun to work with.” August 27, 2007
Frank, buyer of One Reserva

This transaction was handled completely via phone and email, from beginning to closing and I was thoroughly pleased with everything. I was out of the country and Kelley handled the entire transaction. She is a real pro and I would highly recommend her.
Kelley, you’re a genius!
Lucinda, seller of 515-517 Joaquin Drive

Dear Kelley,

Hello. This is Aaron. Haven’t spoken to you in a while. Hope all is well.
Nice website. Useful indeed. If I may add a friendly advice: Your website is very good. When one looks at it, it does give an impression that you know what you are doing. For a more experienced buyer / seller however, one likes to get a good service, not just a smart person. Why? Because frankly a lot of real estate agents look for their own end and not always that of the client’s and an experienced buyer or seller learns that (regardless of what is signed). From what I have experienced I see the value of an agent who really spends some time with you and makes sure you get the best deal whether you are buying or selling. That Kelley is what is special about you and not all agents have it (in fact most do not and let’s not even talk about the dishonest ones that I have dealt with). So my suggestion is advertise what you have a little more.

On the same note, when you came and saw me the first time, you did mention this attribute which you had, and at the time I either did not know you well enough or did not value it as much (I thought sure they all pay attention to you – not really true. But I went along with you because your background checked out plus I felt you were sincere – trust really matters)… The point is that a more inexperienced person doesn’t quite get it. He or she thinks that why you make 3% or 6% of say a house for $500,000, then the agent better be spending all of her effort on me. A fair expectation maybe, but not true in reality.

Your advantage is that you take on fewer clients which allows you to provide a better service. That makes you a bit of specialist in this field.

Anyhow, I should not give you too much advice, you may become so popular, there won’t be any time for me !!!

Best Regards,
Aaron L, seller of 3702 Kerner

“Kelley, I am so excited! I cannot believe you worked this magic for us! You are really amazing! We are really grateful. Joe and I are racking our brains to think of a way to thank you. We want to do something special for you. We love you even though we hardly know you. We are so appreciative.”
Jilan, buyer of 20 Dorset Lane

“Kelley, Thank you so much for helping us buy our first home in Marin County. You were so patient, persistent and accommodating. You helped us so much by driving us around and showing us such a wide variety of homes and locations. We also appreciate the amount of hard work and research you put into helping us understand the Market so we could make a good decision. Outside of your outstanding professionalism, you were just plain fabulous to be around! We really had a great time together. We wish you all the success in the world. A thousand thank yous!”
Gina, buyer of 72 Rockridge Road
