Yes, there are problem-free, almost automatic transactions in real estate. Any agent, regardless of experience or dedication can handle these. It's when interesting issues arise or when you have a specific vision in mind that you can differentiate between who merely has a real estate license and who truly is gifted with instincts, talent, and devotion. Kellie Batali has the gift. And her generous spirit and devotion to doing things the right way bring joy and confidence to the most important transactions of our lives. Kellie is a good listener and fine teacher. She is ethical. She is protective of her clients. And her feel for the shape and timing of the market and each individual transaction is amazing. I rarely write public reviews. I was very honored to write this one.

Kellie was our chosen realtor to sell our parents home. She was always professional and had good ideas to have the house sell quickly. Kellie was sensitive to our recent loss and made the selling of the house a breeze. I would recommend Kellie for any real estate need!!

We recently moved across country and were so pleased with how Kellie Batali supported us through the process of selling our Mirrormont home. We have spoken with Kellie over the years about our house, and when it was time to plan more seriously, she was extremely helpful in prioritizing projects and touches we could finish before listing the house to help maximize its appeal. She had the house staged elegantly and managed all of the marketing perfectly, from timing of the listing to managing offers. We were most concerned with the timing as the market was just opening up again and we would be in transit while the house was listed and offers came in. Kellie was excellent at keeping us constantly in the loop and counseling us on managing the offers as they came together. We were so happy to have Kellie in our corner to leverage her expertise in the Mirrormont/Tiger Mountain neighborhoods!

Kellie has done a great job selling homes for us during not one, but two moves for our family. Our most recent sale came during the summer of 2022, when the real estate market had just stopped cold. Fortunately, Kellie knew how to still price our home aggressively but also correctly. It was such a tricky balance given the slowdown in the market, but she got it right. We sold our house for the most $ per square foot compared to all of the comps in our neighborhood. I would recommend her for her marketing expertise and pricing expertise. Thank you, Kellie!

Kellie did a wonderful job guiding us through the steps to selling our first home. As first-time home sellers, we had never been on this side before. She walked through our home with us and helped us identify some small projects we could do to help increase our opportunities for getting the best price. She also gave us a plan for prepping the house for staging. She spent multiple days with us, helping us stage the home and provided staging items we were missing. She has a knack for interior decorating and helped us decorate the home in the best way for showings and photos. Kellie has decades of experience as a realtor, and although the market was going through significant changes at the time of our listing, she came up with some creative ideas for helping us close on our home. We appreciated her insight, and she was a pleasure to work with!

I would like to take a moment and explain what a wonderful agent Kellie is. We moved here from out of state last year, and had no idea that the housing market was as hot as it is. Months went by, and we were unable to be the winning offer on a house in the neighborhood we wanted. We looked at house after house, and became discouraged, and heavily disappointed, and gave up on our dream of living there. Even though we had given up on our dream, Kellie never did. She pressed on, and never quit trying to help us not only live in the city we wanted, but focusing on the neighborhood we originally fell in love with. It is truly because of her dedication and hard work that we live exactly where we want to be! Our house and yard completely fit our family's needs. We are forever grateful for Kellie for making it all happen, as she went above and beyond what we had ever expected an agent to do.

Moving out of state can be stressful when you also have to sell your house, especially after you have already moved! We hired Kellie Batali to sell our Issaquah house after considering other local agents, feeling very comfortable that she could take care of everything after we left. And she did. We also had a project needing to be finished at the house after moving, and she stepped in and became the lead on getting that project to the finish line. She had the house staged beautifully, all the marketing was spot on including timing of listing the home and offer review date. We received several offers and the house sold for way above list price. So happy with her real estate services, and as the local real estate expert in the Mirrormont/Tiger Mountain area, she was far and above the best choice.

Kellie was amazing throughout helping us sell our home in Mirrormont. She was flexible and knowledgeable from the start. She had great contacts for getting the work we needed done before listing. She was quick to respond to inquiries and always had a balanced answer to tough questions I had, showing her deep experience selling homes, and in particular selling homes in our neighborhood. Our sale price far exceeded our expectations. HIGHLY recommend Kellie Batali!

In a tough market like this there is no substitute for the most experienced and knowledgeable realtor. I was fortunate to have Kellie list my old home, and be involved in the purchase of my new home. Through the whole process, Kellie helped with every detail. She went above and beyond by suggesting some landscape cleanup, hiring, and even sharing the cost of the yard cleanup. My old home was a fixer-upper in Mirrormont. Kellie made vision boards and placed them in the corresponding rooms during open house so interested viewers could easily see the home's potential. She told me what I could do to make my property more appealing, and what to leave well enough alone. I felt completely at ease and confident that my home would get the best possible price. In less than a week I accepted the best offer. Kellie and Mick knew I wanted to stay in Mirrormont, so Mick showed me a home that had just been listed by Kellie and I fell in love with it. Mick told me what to offer to be competitive. I am thrilled with my new home. If you want to sell or buy a home with confidence and ease, work with Kellie and Mick Batali. For major transactions like the sale or purchase of a home, only the best will do.
