" Kelsey Jo Evans - What more can I say than Kelsey was simply fantastic! As a first time home buyer choosing a realtor while planning a wedding, I needed an individual that could undertake the tasks of accommodating my difficult schedule, easing my extremely nagging mind, and making this process as effortless as possible. Unfortunately, I work nights with little time off, so that alone led me to fear that these tasks may prove to be too daunting for most. That's when Kelsey came along and I soon discovered that she would meet my expectations and then some! I cannot express how many times there were where we were conversing through text/email in the middle of the night just because she wanted to ensure that I was not missing out on any potential opportunities or understood any obstacles that may exist. Not many people would go out of there way to adjust their schedules or make time like that for their clients! Through the whole house hunting experience she was both thorough and blunt. If I ever stepped into a home that she felt was not right for me, she would immediately express her concern for my best interest. Consequently, I am now living in my dream home, which may not have happened had I not followed her advice with previous listings. The charisma and pure enjoyment that she possesses and exudes for her work is something to be admired. She absolutely loves what she does and is definitely in this line of work because she is helping people. I would HIGHLY recommend Kelsey on her work ethic alone, and could not have made a better choice in my decision to have her help me with this endeavor! My fiancée and I will forever be grateful for her assistance and for making this experience a smooth one, and for that she will always be a part of our lives! "

" Kelsey Jo Evans - Kelsey was an amazing realtor and a pleasure to work with! She actually listened to what I wanted in a home and always kept things fun. During the home buying process, she was beyond helpful and always gave honest advice (I never felt like she was trying to just make a sale but truly wanted to help me). I know if I ever choose to sell/buy again I will definitely be reaching out to her! "

- Lauren Fross

" Monica Luzarraga - I recently worked with Monica to purchase a condo. Monica is very patient, she listened to what I was looking for and didn't try to push anything else on me. She even made recommendations (like to offer less than the asking price but still enough to get the contract accepted) when the properties were not in good condition and worked with me every step of the way. I highly recommend Monica. "

" Kelsey Jo Evans - I needed to find a home and close in a very short period of time and Kelsey made that happen. I was coming from out of state, so I had a limited period of time to look and was worried that I wouldn't be able to find anything in time. But it turns out I had nothing to worry about because Kelsey was extremely proactive and accommodating. She is a wonderful human being who made what could have been a very difficult, time-consuming process fun. She is clearly very knowledgeable and answered all of my crazy first-time homebuyer questions with a smile. I would give her one million stars if that was an option. "

- Emily Gilbert

" We are so grateful for all of the time and energy Kelsey put in to finding us our “home away from home”. Being out of town shoppers created extra challenges and Kelsey was so patient as we navigated these. Her knowledge about the greater Columbus market and honesty was so helpful!!! "

- Joe & Lorada Bezilla

" Kelsey Jo Evans - Thanks to Kelsey's patience, positive energy and knowledge my husband and I were able to find our first home in a tough market.

"

- Allison

" Monica was incredible! We had a previous realtor drop out last minute and she stepped in and worked with us relentlessly to find us a home in a very tight window before we had to move here for work! She was always available and made the process very easy for first time home buyers! Can’t say enough about how great she is! "

- Thomas Jones (Buyer)

" Kelsey Jo Evans - Kelsey was phenomenal with helping us get into a home that checked off every box on our long list of wants. With this being our third home and us relocating from Dallas to Columbus, we really desired to build a house that would fulfill all the wants we never had in our first two homes. I flew into Columbus from Dallas with the intent that'd we'd be starting the process of building a house. After learning that the development we anticipated building in was a little farther from civilization than we wanted and wouldn't meet all our wants/needs, I was left with less than two days to learn the Columbus area AND find our house. Kelsey was extremely knowledgable on Columbus and it's surrounding cities. I really felt like in such a brief amount of time she accomplished more than most would have been able to AND we found our home in that time span. In a very demanding market, Kelsey was able to negotiate a price point my husband and I were comfortable with, and it was all done under the contingency of our Texas home selling first (our home hadn't even been listed for sale yet) -we definitely benefited with having her on our side. Thank you Kelsey for all of your help in making our relocation as smooth as possible, especially with 3 young children! You helped us pick a great home and location that our children are already thriving in! "

- Sabrina Young

" Kelsey Jo Evans - Kelsey was simply outstanding. First she spent a lot of time to familiarize us with the many neighborhoods in Columbus. Then after we focused on a couple areas, she found us a number of options in each, helping us make quick but smart decisions in this fast-moving market. We are thrilled with our house purchase, largely because of Kelsey’s efforts. If we could give her more than five stars, we would. "

- Don Blackwell

" Kelsey Jo Evans - Kelsey did an amazing job! WOW. Everything about the process went smoothly. She was attentive, on top of her game throughout, and so much fun to work with. My husband and I felt at ease and in the best of hands every step of the way. A consummate professional, Kelsey has vast knowledge of her industry, as well as attention to detail for contracts, etc. Also, she has great instincts about the real estate market as well as the many areas of Columbus which are her forte. In addition, she often goes above and beyond what is required of her to insure client happiness. She worked directly with our relocation firm to coordinate additional details that wouldn't have otherwise been necessary in a more conventional buyer/seller situation. I will never hesitate to say that Kelsey Jo Evans is the best there is! You would be lucky to have her as your realtor. "

" Kelsey Jo Evans - It was a huge pleasure working with Kelsey throughout the sale of my home. Not only a very competent agent, Kelsey is a joy to work with. She was super patient with answering all of my questions as a first time home seller and was responsive throughout the process.

She will also work effortlessly on making sure you get the house you want. We are thankful for her patience, kindness, and hard work in helping us find our forever home.

Whether we looked at a house early morning or in the evening, I always felt I was her focus. Her talents really shined when dealing with a difficult seller. I got everything I wanted and still closed within my tight timeline thanks to her hard work. I was always aware of my options upfront and was glad to have her wisdom when I felt clueless on what to do. She continues to provide guidance on problems we've encountered since moving in.

" Kelsey Jo Evans - Kelsey is amazing. My husband and I were on a tight timeline to find a house in the Columbus area without knowing much detail of where we wanted to live, the type of home, etc. As you can imagine, this added a great amount of stress to the normal challenge of house hunting. Kelsey was able to keep us both calm and really helped us stay grounded to identify what our "likes/dislikes" were. We spent a great deal of time going to several neighborhoods to understand each area and how it matched up with our preferences. Ultimately we found a house that was perfect! I still can't believe that in 8 weeks we went from being totally stressed out to happily signing paperwork. This was ONLY possible due to the great attitude, spirit and flexibility Kelsey brought to the experience day-in and out. Many thanks to this gem! "
