If I could, I would give Colleen an “11” on a scale of 1 to 10. I am not gushing; I am just comparing Colleen to other real estate agents I’ve worked within the past. Colleen represented me in both the sale of my home and the purchase of my condo. Colleen did an excellent job in the marketing and presentation and pricing of my home. She sold my home for $50,000 over asking as she knew how to best price it. And, I am extremely pleased with the results. Instead of giving me a task list, she handled almost everything herself. She was on top of all the details, meticulous and communicative. The result was to make the whole experience as stress-free as possible. Thanks, Colleen.
Colleen Kelly’s years of experience and success in corporate sales, coaching, and real estate made her the perfect real estate broker for my very complicated real estate transaction. After seriously considering several less than ideal homes, Colleen found a house that seemed to have everything we had been wanting – a well constructed, modern, and well-maintained home with a nice backyard and pool. At the open house two days later we immediately fell cautiously in love with the house, recognized by the number in attendance that it could be a very competitive bidding process. Colleen was determined to give me the best chance for making this house my home. She recommended preparing a competitive offer for immediate submittal that night.

Colleen Kelly’s years of experience and success in corporate sales, coaching, and real estate made her the perfect real estate broker for my very complicated real estate transaction. After seriously considering several less than ideal homes, Colleen found a house that seemed to have everything we had been wanting – a well constructed, modern, and well-maintained home with a nice backyard and pool. At the open house two days later we immediately fell cautiously in love with the house, recognized by the number in attendance that it could be a very competitive bidding process. Colleen was determined to give me the best chance for making this house my home. She recommended preparing a competitive offer for immediate submittal that night. So we went to the nearest restaurant where she wrote up the offer and obtained an updated preapproval letter from our mortgage broker despite the fact that he was in the midst of dinner. In less than five hours after viewing the house, we had submitted a fully documented, competitive offer. The next day, complications arose when one of the two sellers signed the offer and the other would not, due to differences between the two of them. In the meantime, another offer was presented to the sellers complicating the situation even further. Throughout this stressful process, Colleen remained steady and steadfast in her efforts to close the deal for me. She provided a compelling argument for why the sellers should accept our offer despite the other being higher, but with more contingencies. She also convinced the seller’s agent that working with her would result in the most desirable outcome for all concerned. Driven by Colleen’s patience, persistence, skillful negotiating, and expert relationship building, the offer was finally signed by the reluctant seller two weeks later. These qualities of Colleen, applied over the 11 weeks from offer to closing, ensured that I would overcome numerous other obstacles along the way. For her, obstacles were opportunities to be pursued in a positive, professional manner. Even when I was discouraged, Colleen never was. She bolstered my confidence and really helped me until the end of our transaction. I would highly recommend Colleen. She will go above and beyond and more. She brought honesty, integrity, and commitment to my home-buying process. I am so grateful for everything she did for me and my family.

The timing was crucial because I had to sell my old place before buying the new place. She has a whole team to make the selling process very efficient. She has a very thorough understanding of what sells in today’s market. I had three offers the first weekend my condo was on the market. Eventually, I accepted an offer higher than the asking price. During that time, she negotiated a lower price as my buyer representative. Lastly, she handled getting my investment property rented out. She helped me with designing 3 ideas to update the rental units to make them attractive to renters. She handled getting all the leases signed. She has very clear ideas as to what each role she plays as a buyer representative, seller agent, and rental agent. She was always three steps ahead of what needed to be done and helped me to take action to keep the ball moving. Every time I got nervous or upset during the selling, buying, or renting process she was helpful and got things resolved. She created a wonderful experience and set a very high bar for all real estate agents. I’m grateful and in awe of Colleen. I hope to work with her again in not the too distant future in buying my next investment property. She is one of the smartest, most positive, hard-working people I’ve ever met.
Colleen was a great help to us during the home buying process and we would highly recommend her services to anyone beginning to search. As first time home buyers, we were both a little anxious and unfamiliar with what we needed to do. At our first meeting Colleen walked us through what every step would entail and gave us reference materials to educate ourselves with. As we moved forward with touring homes, putting in an offer, home inspection, mortgage approval, etc., Colleen was always available to offer us her expert guidance and support. Checking in on how we were feeling, coordinating with other parties, and helping us navigate all of the next steps. Colleen is a true advocate for her clients. She was proactive in making sure we were getting the necessary steps done to be successful, and when there were small hiccups along the way with the mortgage or legal paperwork, she would touch…

Colleen Kelly was my real estate agent when I was looking for a home in Boston. I cannot say enough about how wonderful she was during the extremely stressful time of simultaneously trying to sell my home and buy a new home in Boston. If I had to choose 3 adjectives to describe Colleen, they would be hardworking, efficient, and loyal. Hardworking. Colleen worked 24/7. If she could not talk to me, she would text or email me to tell me when she was available. During my time with Colleen, she went on a 4-day vacation. On her way to her vacation, she called me. I had to tell her not to call me and to enjoy her vacation. That is dedication. Efficient – Colleen is always 1 step ahead of her clients. I am an extremely organized and efficient person, yet Colleen would be working on something before I even thought of it. She will lead you, guide you, hold your hand, and reassure you throughout th…

I am an extremely organized and efficient person, yet Colleen would be working on something before I even thought of it. She will lead you, guide you, hold your hand, and reassure you throughout the entire process of finding and purchasing a home. Loyal- in my case, after the purchase of my home, I still had some outstanding issues the seller needed to complete. Even though Colleen received her commission, 2 months later, she still continues to check in on the status of those issues. She is totally dedicated to her clients even after the closing. I highly recommend Colleen Kelly to anyone looking for a real estate agent in the Boston area.
