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.

Kellie Batali is the finest Realtor available. Her expertise and professionalism are unsurpassed. As a recent widower, she guided me on how to prepare my house for sale. I followed her recommendations, and with her local contacts and resources, the house was ready very quickly. Her staging talents are amazing. The house sold very quickly with Kellie's expert abilities. If you are looking to buy in the area rather than sell, she will find your new home. She is also a very nice person and a pleasure to work with.

We found our Hawaii dream home unexpectedly while on vacation, and made an offer before it was ever listed; therefore, when we returned home we had less than 90 days to fix up our current home, list it, and close. We originally considered selling our house ourselves. We absolutely made the right decision to hire Kellie instead. She is multi talented, knowledgeable, well-connected, thorough, and kind. With a schedule that she created and key milestones she identified, we were able sell our house for a fabulous price in time for closing on our new Hawaii home. She gave us great advice on a pricing strategy that attracted the right people. She patiently walked us through the myriad of paperwork involved in real estate transactions and was able to explain many of the nuances that we would have missed had we tried to sell our home ourselves. Having an excellent eye for design and a keen sense of the market, Kellie helped us decide how to remodel our house, prioritizing what potential buyers would want, and to find solid, affordable contractors from the extensive network she's developed. She also staged our house beautifully for the photo shoot and open house. In addition to the above, she was our powerful advocate in the negotiations, very protective of the priorities we had identified, as well as some items we'd only mentioned in passing. This is something truly notable: Kellie really listens; you only need to say things once. It is such an important attribute when working in a complex, stressful, fast-paced environment. Throughout the entire process Kellie was calm, upbeat, and fun to work with. If you want to sell your home, take my advice and hire Kellie. And then take whatever advice she has to offer. You will be very satisfied with the results.

Kelly is wonderful we had sticky situation selling my father in laws home who had passed not long before our meeting. It was hard on my husband who was emotional and Kelly helped him in many ways. From making the decision when a good time is to sell is to how to prepare the home and property. She did so very gingerly due to the emotional ties involved. She had lots of grest suggestions and held our hands through out the entire process,It was a very long process and she never once pushed him in any way more than he needed. The entire experience was positive, professional and friendly. We sold it on day 4 of it being on the market with a bidding war finally ending at midnight. We were kept informed every step of the way and were made aware of every offer that came in. We ended up selling for a lot more than the asking price. If we ever have to sell a home again in Washington Kelly is the only person we would have represent us. She even helped us when we were looking for our new home in another state. Thank you Kelly for helping us through both processes you made it an enjoyable experience and we will miss you.

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Kellie on both the purchase and sale of our home in Issaquah. We originally came to her with a very specific wish list, and she not only identified the perfect house but went above and beyond by helping with information and ideas to remodel the home after we had purchased it. She has a great eye for the true potential of a home and property and this helped immensely. When it came time to sell, she once again helped us get our house in great shape and helped us complete a few last minute renovations that netted us a great sales price. Her guidance with the renovation and staging helped us get multiple offers and a sales price that was above ask and above what we thought we could get. If we were staying in the area there is no one that we would rather use!

Kellie Batali is the premier agent in Tiger Mountain/Issaquah area! Kellie recently acted as our buyer's agent in this area. As we were new to the area, Kellie held our hands through our home buying adventure from start to finish, any time of the day. Through her years of experience, she knows the local pulse well and provided sound advice on the buying process and more importantly the area and local nuances of the market. Kellie was also dedicated to the process. When we had a septic issue at the 11th hour, to our surprise, we discovered that she had also previously studied septic design to support her career. Her knowledge and her extra effort to manage an unexpected change-of-plans helped to resolve things efficiently. I highly recommend Kellie to prospective home buyers!

My husband and I worked with Kellie Batali for the purchase sale of our home. Kellie guided us through everything and had all the answers for making sure we got the best possible price. We sold WAY over asking and we have Kellie to thank for that.

Kellie was amazing to use for the purchase of our home in Mirrormont. She is an expert in the area, and very knowledgeable in many more areas that we looked at as well. We live overseas and she made the buying process very smooth for us. We have bought and sold homes before, and she is one of the best we have had the pleasure of working with. She even helped us after we bought the house. Kellie is very well established and knows the details and the strategies. Highly recommend Kellie!

I can't speak highly enough of Kellie Batali as a real estate agent. She was lovely to work with. She let me know every step of the way how to prepare and what to expect while she diligently worked behind the scenes to make sure everything was being taken care of. Kellie is extremely honest, upfront and communicative. She is an excellent negotiator with a very personalized touch and it is obvious that she truly cares for her clients and community. Kellie's advice and support throughout the entire process was invaluable. I highly recommend her services.

Kellie was our agent for buying a home and was, in a word, fantastic in all respects! We spent weeks looking, comparing and agonizing about houses in differing locales. She was always patient and never led us to think we were too picky or wasting her time. She clearly understood our constraints and what we were looking for, which made the whole process more efficient. Her expertise allowed her to identify potential issues in houses that the average buyer might miss, while also providing appropriate reassurance for items the buyer might wonder about. Kellie was a staunch advocate and trustworthy guide for us at the negotiating stages, and knew when something “wasn’t quite right” from the other side, leading her to ask the right questions and get issues resolved. Her hours spent on our behalf often extended past customary work hours. If we are ever in the market to sell, Kellie will be at the top of our list. If any friends or acquaintances need a recommendation from us, Kellie’s name is the one we’ll give.

Recently, we sold our home. Since we hadn’t sold a home in over 20 years, we needed help. We experienced that help from our realtor, Kelli Batali. She educated us in the market and the process of getting our house sold. And then she got it sold! All this with integrity, responsiveness, experience, intelligence, and a warm heart. Working with Kelli was an excellent experience!

When you're buying or selling a house, the trick isn't finding an agent who has a decent grasp of real estate; it's finding someone with a formidable understanding of it, but who values integrity and hard work above commission. Kellie Batali is not only a very experienced and competent real estate professional who dedicated herself completely to understanding and diligently working my home search, she brought a quiet compassion and what I sensed to be a devotion to something higher -- perhaps it is simply integrity. When it came to the decisive moment -- countering against multiple offers for a house I definitely wanted -- Kellie's instincts were sublime. Watching her work her art and knowing she was there for me every step of the way represented for me a rare joy in business today. Kellie Batali is a fine person and a terrific agent. And she's honest. And she works hard. This was my experience.
