"I am not one to normally write reviews, but our experience with Kristen selling our home is most-definitely worth the extra effort! We moved across the country while our home was for sale in Wolf Ranch and simply wouldn’t have been able to do it without Kristen on our team. It was scary to move across the country with our house sitting empty, but Kristen was present, attentive, and available to help us every step of the way. She went above and beyond the duties of a realtor- she cleaned our home, rearranged furniture, did some gardening and maintenance work, and truly cared for our home like her own. We sold our home in a tough market, but Kristen’s data-driven points brought us calm in our storm and ensured that we sold at a fair price. We are truly grateful for the opportunity to have worked with her and highly recommend her for your buying or selling needs!"

"Working with Kristen was an absolute blessing. From the very beginning, she went above and beyond—not just as a real estate professional, but as someone who genuinely cared about our family’s needs, concerns, and dreams. She supported us selflessly every step of the way.
We had a tall order of what we were hoping for in a home and she found us the perfect home for our needs. Throughout the process, she was incredibly patient, and truly listened. There were moments when we felt overwhelmed, but her calm presence, guidance, and support helped keep us going forward.
More than anything, she felt like someone we could trust completely. Like family. We’re beyond grateful and can’t recommend her enough!"

"Kristen McKelvie was phenomenal at listening to what I needed and wanted in a home. She helped me narrow down our search, asked the right questions, and was uber-responsive when I was ready to view homes. I would work with Kristen again and have already recommended her to friends also looking to move."

"Kristen did a phenomenal job helping put together a competitive offer! I was able to buy my dream home after only searching a few weeks and with my first offer. She provided insights into the area and what other homes recently sold for. She helped me understand the home buying process as a first-time home buyer. She also helped me negotiate a new roof! I would recommend her to everyone I know."

"I am pleased to recommend Kristen McKelvie to anyone seeking a Realtor. Kristen’s familiarity with the Austin area realty scene meant that she knew exactly how to price and market my property, resulting in multiple attractive offers, a quick sale, and a happy buyer and seller. From the professional photography and excellent advice on how to best stage my home to her incredible responsiveness and expert guidance on the intricacies of the voluminous paperwork, Kristen demonstrated that she deserved my listing. So happy. Thank you, Kristen!"

"I reached out to Kristen when I was in need of finding a new place, and I wanted to do it quickly. In today's competitive housing market in Austin, this wasn't such a small foot. Throughout the entire time, she blew me away with her professionalism, communication, and work ethic. The rare time she didn't have an answer for something, she quickly sought it out. We saw over 10 properties until I found the right one. What I love about Kristen is that she invests highly in her own personal development (she's even a certified NLP trainer!), so she's an excellent communicator, and she also helps you with your mindset throughout the entire process, as it can be stressful or nerve-wracking at times. Kristen puts 100% effort into her work, and I will be recommending her to everyone I know for all their housing needs. Thank you, Kristen, for all your help, and I can't wait to send you even more clients!"

"Kristen McKelvie has been an absolute dream of a Realtor, helping us learn about Austin, find the perfect rental, and keeping us up to date on potential neighborhoods as we begin the process of looking to buy. We are so grateful for all of Kristen's help and couldn't be in better hands!"

"Kristen is very good at what she does. I wanted to look at some rentals on fairly short notice for an upcoming move. Once we were connected, she promptly set up some tours of the properties. She came prepared with the details I needed to know to make an informed decision, and she was a great thought partner as well. Once she understood what was important to me, she also recommended some properties that were not on my radar, and I actually ended up selecting one of her suggestions! I came away very impressed with Kristen's professionalism, knowledge, and positivity. My rental search was definitely enhanced by leveraging her services. I would highly recommend Kristen to anyone looking for a Realtor to add value to their rental leasing and/or home buying or selling needs.

"Kristen has been such a Godsend! We relocated from across the state during a pandemic and right during back-to-school time. Everything in life is already so complicated, and she has helped make this horrible transition so much easier. She is always so willing to flex schedules and get appointments booked. She is so kind and helpful. I am so thankful for her and will use her for every move, sale, or home purchase we have!"

"Kristen was an absolute pleasure to work with on purchasing my new home. She was extremely communicative, very timely, and made herself always available for my questions. She would send gentle reminders if I needed to be on the lookout for the closing process's next steps. You can often work with Realtors that try to push their "expertise" on your decision-making, especially in the Austin market. This is completely the opposite of how Kristen does business. She could tell immediately if I were hesitant about a house and would be candid in saying you don't love it, so on to the next! Kristen has integrity and character, and I enjoyed the entire process of working with her."

"Kristen is amazing. She listened when we said we had one day to see as many homes as we could. She went the extra mile for us until the end. We found our dream home because of her diligence and "I can" mentality. We will work with her again for sure."

"Kristen was an incredible help during our move to Austin! We moved across the country during the COVID-19 pandemic, and Kristen went above and beyond while we were looking for a rental home. We cannot thank her enough for her hospitality and advice. If you are looking for a reliable Realtor in Austin, we would recommend Kristen every time!"
