We truly believed this sale was going to be impossible, but Kelly Zijlstra proved otherwise in every way. Kelly came to us as a referral, and we had no prior experience or knowledge of her work. It turned out to be the best referral we could have received. She demonstrated everything a successful realtor needs: strong market knowledge, competitive pricing, clear and consistent communication (she is amazing), and strong negotiation skills. From the very beginning, Kelly was organized, proactive, and incredibly detail-oriented. She handled every step of the process with professionalism and calm, making us feel confident that anything that came up was manageable. She consistently took ownership, and kept the process moving forward. We always felt informed, supported, and confident that she had our best interests at heart. To further speak to her professionalism, even a contractor who came to the property for a termite inspection commented after the sale that Kelly was the best realtor he had worked with and could not speak more highly of her. If you’re looking for a realtor who is knowledgeable, responsive, trustworthy, and truly committed to getting results—even when the situation feels impossible—we cannot recommend Kelly Zijlstra highly enough. We are so grateful for her expertise and dedication.

Kelly and her team work exceptionally well together and made the whole process smooth and uneventful. Kelly made contact with me daily, if not multiple times per day to keep me posted on where things were at and what was coming next. Kelly loves what she does and the results prove it. Within a few days of our initial meeting, she staged the whole house and scheduled the first viewings. After the first open house, we got multiple lucrative offers, and a few days after that, we were in escrow. I couldn’t have asked for better results.

I wish i could give 10 starts. I truly cannot imagine selling our home without Kelly. We sold due to a pending international move during a not so great time in the market while having small children. Kelly was truly the glue that held it all together. She is incredibly knowledgeable about all things real estate, as well as kind, honest, and a true joy to work with. She helped us navigate so many obstacles with poise and integrity. I cannot recommend her enough, and am so blessed to have had the opportunity to work with her. Your realtor matters more than you can imagine, and we had the best there is. I am so thankful Kelly was our realtor and now friend.

We were out of state buyers looking at homes online with little success. We spoke to Kelly Z and she truly listened to our wish list of amenities while keeping to the budget. She found us a well-priced home, in our desired location and development. We all knew the home would receive multiple offers and it did. Kelly advised us on what she thought would be a strong, fast clean offer. We closed escrow in 17 days! Kelly was invaluable with her knowledge of North County, her referals for inspectors, vendors and insurance agents. Kelly is a realtor with a great love for her profession. She wants to make the process as simple and straightforward as possible and is very responsive any questions you might have. Kelly has a wonderful, funny, engaging personality and truly a deloght to work with. We wholeheartedly recommend her as a realtor with expertise, integrity, strong work-ethic and takes great pride in achieving happy and very grateful clients.

Kelly is amazing at her job. She has a way of being able to get the inside scoop of a real estate deal. Her charismatic personality has a disarming effect on the other parties involved. She truly has an ability to know what the price point needs to be at if you want to win other buyers. Sometimes it may not be what you are willing to pay but she knows the numbers. Kelly thank you again for representing us a second time. You did an amazing job helping us acquire another property.

Kelly was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the process of buying my first home. She walked me through the VA process and was always available to answer my questions. Kelly worked around my demanding military schedule and made herself available at times that worked for me. Great communicator and very personable, thanks again Kelly.

From the start of the process of selling our family home, we knew we were in great hands with Kelly. During the initial first meeting, Kelly radiated a clear understanding of our needs. She came prepared with a comprehensive notebook featuring unique details about our property, comparable sales in the area, strategies for finding the perfect price point and the array of support services she, and Realty ONE, would offer. She most definitely had done her homework! Her dedication was genuine and her style fun, friendly, creative and determined. Her artistic energy is apparent as she also provides easy staging ideas to enhance the visual appeal of the home. Kelly partnered with us and guided the entire transaction from listing to signing final paperwork resulting in a fabulous outcome and seamless real estate experience.

Kelly did an amazing job helping us with the purchase of our condo. She was always available and answered every single question we had. Kelly was joyful, sweet, kind and respectful all the time. I highly recommend her as an agent.

We chose Kelly to sell our house and what a wise decision. Kelly goes above and beyond to serve her clients with her knowledge about the whole selling process beginning to the end. Her endless energy, communication skills and outgoing personality make her a pleasure to do business. Kelly is incredible and we highly recommend her. Dan & Pam Whelehon

Kelly is the best realtor I have ever worked with. She is very knowledgable, responsive and found us the right home at the right time. We thoroughly enjoyed working with her and appreciate the hard work she put into our transaction.

Kelly was by far the best realtor I have ever worked with. She was recommended to us by a good friend who had had an excellent experience as well. We gave her a difficult search and she came through for us. She was very personable, knowledgable, responsive, tenacious and found us a great place - exactly what we were looking for.
