Thank you Kellie! The process of selling my townhome in Walnut Creek was seamless. Kellie came prepared with her list of trusted professionals to get my place on the market within weeks of deciding to sell it. We received multiple offers and sold above asking. From start to finish, Kellie was there and so professional throughout. Thank you again!

We cannot give a higher recommendation for Kellie! Bottom line, we would not have gotten into our dream house if anyone else was our realtor. It's that simple. From the moment we talked with Kellie on the phone, we knew she was exactly what we wanted in a realtor. Down to earth, easy-going, knowledgeable, and extremely friendly are adjectives I'd use to describe our first impression of her. Kellie is also an extremely positive person, and she always made us feel that we would find the right house for us, even when houses that we loved fell through. That positivity was really helpful during the ups and downs of a housing search.
Additionally, she and her partner at Dudum, Leslie Shafton, like to say they are "realtors for life" and we absolutely LOVE that idea! To thin that we not only get to build our lives in our dream house but also have made a couple of lifelong friends in the process is pretty priceless! Thank you Kellie!

Kellie has a great sense of the market (Walnut Creek and surrounding area) and was able to guide us very effectively on what price to offer once we found a house we wanted to pursue. She is extremely professional and detail oriented. Her command of the documents (including using DocuSign) was great. We had worked previously with other agents, and this is not always true.
Kellie was also very kind and gentle with us. She understands the homebuying process is extremely stressful, especially in the current market.
Kellie was also always available to us, both to show us a property repeatedly and just to ask questions.
I would recommend Kellie highly and without hesitation.

Kellie was a wonderful realtor to work with! She was very patient and comforting when I became anxious during the long process of buying my new home and selling my previous one. She was always very responsive in replying to my many questions and always got back to me in timely fashion. She was never pushy, always leaving it up to me to make my own decisions, yet gave me excellent advice when I wanted it. She was always friendly, very personable, and helpful. With her experience in real estate, she is extremely knowledgeable. I would recommend her highly!

I originally met Kellie at an Open House in Walnut Creek and liked her right away. I let her know that I was looking for a condo in Walnut Creek. She was friendly and helpful but didn't pressure me, which was a welcome relief, as other realtors at Open Houses had been pestering me. When I first found a condo that I was interested in buying, I contacted her to be my realtor. She has now spent almost a year showing me many places that I was interested in seeing. When I found another that I strongly wanted, she helped me to make an offer, and then steered me through all the steps involved on the way to closing escrow and making the current condo my home. I have always appreciated her responsiveness and helpfulness without pressuring me to do anything that I wasn't ready to do.

Kellie was very patient and helpful throughout the process. Listened to our needs and nice to haves to help us find the perfect place. Once we were ready to move forward she provided the research so we were confident in our offer and ultimate purchase price. She went above and beyond in helping us find people to help move, complete repairs needed, and answer all of our questions along the way. I highly recommend working with Kellie and her team.

Kellie was the realto my girlfriend used to sell her mother’s house is Pleasant Hill. She made everything easy for us which was a bit difficult because we live 3 hours away in Chico. Without Kellie taking the lead, the whole process wwould have been tiring and burdensome. She made sure the house was upgraded, prepared and staged, and ready to sell in a few short weeks. She predicted once it was put on the market it would take @ a week to sell which it did. We got 25% more than we figured at the sale and she did all the negotiating with our approval. She and Leslie were amazingly good to work with. Her smile and her infectious positivity made selling this house a pleasure rather than a hassle.

Kellie Kemp was wonderful! Very knowledgeable, she was efficient and thorough, with excellent communication skills. She was resourceful with finding reliable subcontractors to get the house ready to sell. All the workers did an excellent job and the house sold eight days after being listed with ten very good offers. Kellie was reliable and quick to respond to our many questions and handled all situations with intelligence and grace. We were confident things were being taken care of and it was a relief knowing we were in such good hands. We highly recommend Kellie!

Kellie is a thoughtful, kind, and generous realtor who knows what’s she’s doing and truly listens to her clients. She goes out of her way to get her clients exactly what they want and provides honest support and advice without being pushy or thinking only of her own needs. She was a pleasure to work with.

From the first open house where I met Kellie, thought numerous showings over three months and four previous offers, Kellie remained professional, accommodating and sincerely interested in helping me find the best home for my situation. I would definably recommend her and I plan to reach out to her when the time comes to make another home purchase.

You can’t go wrong with Kellie on your side!

Kellie was an absolute joy and professional. She started by providing us virtual tours and had this incredible sense of humor but also keen insight and openness to get at what was important to us. She knew what places would be great fits and which ones wouldn't. This ended up getting us the place we wanted best in an incredibly tough market at a price that was enough to secure it but not too much over the next offer. Then, she really kicked in the effort to see us through the process and focus on what needed to be done immediately even connecting us to a great handyman she herself uses. Highly highly recommended and we consider Kellie Kemp a good friend!

It's been an absolute pleasure to work with Kellie. She was on top of things and promptly addressed any issues or concerns. Thank you Kellie for all the help and insights. Hope to work with you again in the future.

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Kellie and Leslie through our 1st home buying process and they are rock stars! They helped us navigate a very competitive market with poise, and ultimately helped us land our dream home!

Throughout he process, they were incredibly encouraging, optimistic, sharp, patient and most importantly determined - we could tell that they cared as much about us getting our home as we did.

We were so impressed with how detail oriented they were -- they learned to know what we liked and what we didn't, and were able to make suggestions based on our preferences. Sometimes it felt like they knew our taste better than we did, and wouldn't shy away from saying "this house isn't the right one for you two" - which we appreciated so much.

We'd highly recommend working with them to anyone looking to buy in the Walnut Creek area.

Thanks again Kellie and Leslie!

Kellie is the absolute BEST! She is the expert you need when buying/selling your home. She understands that you are making a major life decision and will be there to support you throughout the entire process. I called Kellie multiple times to vent about the crazy process and she was always extremely helpful and reassuring. She is constantly thinking ahead and always prepared for what is coming next. I rarely write reviews but felt it was necessary to get the word out about how great Kellie and her team are because they helped make our dreams a reality and got us in our forever home. Trust me, you will not be disappointed if you hire Kellie, she will put you at ease during a normally stressful process.

Kellie and Leslie are a terrific team to work with! They are a buyer’s dream - Realtors who want to find you a home, not just sell you a house.

They listened to all our requirements and showed us houses that matched across the East Bay, both in person and over virtual tours (which was much appreciated with COVID).

They were honest and straightforward with their feedback and insights in to each house, which was a boon for us first-time home buyers.

They were also able to arrange showings for listings we found on our own, many times on the spot - make a request and they’re on it!

The whole purchase procedure was very smooth. They gave us a clear picture of prices in the area, worked directly with our loan agent and took the pain out of the paperwork.

Their support and help even after the sale has been amazing. They gave us contacts for all types of home improvement needs, and went above and beyond by communicating with the teams directly and overseeing the work. Whatever you need - they know a guy and they’ll get it done!

We’re glad to have found a team of amazing realtors and more importantly, friends. We can’t imagine working with anyone else - We highly and wholeheartedly recommend Leslie and Kellie to anyone looking for a new home!

Kellie was phenomenal in walking us through the process, touring potential homes, and executing on the purchase. She is thoughtful, caring, and willing to go the extra mile for her clients. We will recommend Kellie to all of our family and friends for their real estate needs!
