"I recently had the pleasure of working with Kelly in this highly competitive real estate market. I have bought and sold over 10 houses and Kelly was by far the best Agent I have worked with and she helped me seamlessly close a deal. If you want a solid, reliable, professional Agent, look no further."

"Kelly is an amazing realtor...you couldn't do better. In a very competitive market, she came in, assessed our property, and immediately set to work ensuring we'd sell our house in a timely manner and get top dollar for it. She also helped with timelines, has an amazing staff of stagers, and set up all of our inspections, showings and document signings with ease. She didn't miss a step the entire process. We sold in record time and made over $250,000 OVER what we expected. Hire Kelly. You won't be disappointed."

"Kelly Macdonald is an amazing realtor! We listed our home with another agent in June 2019 and after several frustrating months switched to Kelly. The difference between the level of service and professionalism was night and day. Kelly linked us to an amazing staging company that really made our listing pop off the page and stand out from other listing and our listing was in the top viewed categories on multiple websites for months. Kelly also provided many cost effective tips and upgrades to further increase the wow factor of our property. Even in these crazy times of COVID 19 Kelly remained diligent on getting our home sold and we continued to receive multiple offers and were able to sell our home for the price we wanted in June 2020. It shows you really get what you pay for when it comes to good realtors and we will recommend Kelly to our family and friends for their real estate matters."

"My wife and I moved to San Diego from Australia to take a new job. The move was very stressful adjusting to a new country and trying to find a place to rent that would make our transition pleasant. Kelly initially helped us with a great property her company listed, but when a property became available that fitted all of our requirements she was so helpful in organising a showing and helping us through the paperwork. Her service didn't stop there however. Kelly provided her assistance after we moved in and even sent us a wonderful house warming gift. She offers exceptional customer service and is such a pleasant an competent agent. We highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy, sell or rent a property."

"I relocated from Dallas to San Diego in May after selling my condo in 3 days! I had the movers pack and ship my things out here without even having found a place to rent so got on a plane, flew out here and put myself up in a hotel. That's when Kelly came to the rescue! She was so professional and knew exactly what type of style home I was looking for. She quickly put together several properties to view and I found exactly the space I wanted in La Jolla. I moved in there in just less than a week! It was so easy working with Kelly, she is not only professional and knowledgeable but she is also a pleasure to work with. She will be my realtor going forward as I search for a house to buy in the near future."

"Literally could not have had a better advisor and advocate throughout and even after the process was complete. Kelly was responsive and supportive and was available by text/phone/email any time we needed it. But beyond that she was instrumental to advocating for us as the buyer, and communicating the intent and needs of the seller. Without her I am sure we would not have ended up in our dream home. Since going under contract she has walked us through every step and quirk in the process, even when we had special requests and needs."

"Kelly Macdonald was wonderful to work with! She is very knowledgable about the area we were interested in, she was always ready to answer any questions we had, and guided us through the whole buying process smoothly. We are a very picky buyers and she was endlessly searching for our dream home in La Jolla and thanks to her the whole experience of buying a house from the east coast was a breeze! We would highly recommend Kelly to anyone since she exceeded all our expectations!."

"We had been looking for a house on and off for a couple of years and Kelly was awesome the whole time. She really helped us hone in on what we wanted and then made finding the perfect home for our family a reality. Plus, she did it all during a pandemic when we were two states away! We love Kelly and are sure you will too."
