Kelly DeBrosse

In January 2020, we reached out to Kelly to begin our pursuit of a 'final' home in Raleigh, NC. Almost 3 months to the day, we were in our new home! The expeditiousness of our move is more impressive when you consider 1) the comprehensiveness of our search, and 2) the onset of COVID-19. We are eternally grateful to Kelly and her team. We have moved multiple times for work, and without question, Kelly is the best real estate agent I've worked with. I have endless examples of her skills, but two themes standout out. First is Kelly's uncanny ability to see things the buyer and seller don't see. Countless times Kelly would walk through a home, or perform pre- or post-walkthrough research, and point out yellow or red flags. I trusted highly in Kelly's investigative abilities, and to be real with us rather than try and persuade us. The second theme is Kelly's ability to 'get things done.' Despite being a popular and busy agent, Kelly never made us wait for showings, paperwork, etc. At first, I wasn't sure how she could be so on point - since we have trouble doing the same in our own occupations. However, after 3 months with Kelly, I've picked up on a few attributes: 1) She works extremely hard; 2) Is sensitive and accommodating to the buyer/sellers off-hour schedule; 3) Has an amazing team; and 4) Based on her experience and track record, has a large circle of influence. While we hope to be in our new home for awhile, we would instantly hire Kelly in the event of future real estate endeavors. The outcome speaks for itself, but she made our experience fun. We are so, so appreciative of Kelly.

Kelly is always fantastic. She goes above and beyond time and time again.

Very well.

It went flawlessly, I would recommend Kelly to anyone. She saved my life. Once repairs were made and my house was listed I got 4 offers in 10 days, I sold my house and closed with in 35 days of the offer. Kelly is the absolute BEST in the business. I'd recommend her to Jesus!

House sold quickly

Kelly and her team sold our house in 17 days. I'm not sure that we would have been able to sell our home that quickly without her team and their teamwork! They provided contractors to help fix up the house, staged the house, and worked out a great scheduled way for potential buyers to show our home. She also provided contacts for other sources throughout the home selling process. 

Kelly DeBrosse and her team from ReMax/One Realty were amazing and on point throughout the whole process.  Kelly is very personable and even first talked with me quite a bit if I even wanted to sell my house! She made sure I was ready and then provided me expert information on the process and what to expect. We first did some minor renovations to my house which she handled completely (hiring contractors and making sure things were done correctly and professionally). Her team also staged the home as well.  The house sold even before it hit the market which I believe is due to Kelly's great expertise on the housing market and advice on minor renovations and her staging team. Kelly also helped tremendously with her great negotiation skills when bumps happened during the inspection and other items as well.  She definitely saved me a lot of stress, money and headaches!  I would never had sold my house so quickly and at the amount I wanted without the help of Kelly DeBrosse and her team from ReMax/One Realty. I will definitely contact her in the future when I look for a new home and refer her to friends and family. She really knows all the ins and outs of the real estate business!

Every Detail was met.  There was no pre-conceived notion our home would sell in a week due to a big incline on the driveway.  Constant communications were key to selling our home and the concerns of the house.  It sold and I couldn't be more pleased with the way that Kelly DeBrosse maintained professionalism and courtesy and had such knowledge of things I couldn't conceive during the process of selling a home!  She is amazing.  Worked with Debbie Boosinger to buy another home and this woman is a go-getter! She was very protective of our interests and what we were looking for.  She helped get the price down when it was necessary and advised us when the Seller was over-pricing their home.  Great Team! Thanks 

We started with Audrey Johnston as our buyers agent. She was extremely patient and worked very hard to find us the perfect home. Audrey was very diligent in making sure all of our questions were answered. Her work ethic is off the charts. Thank you Audrey, your the best! Next we signed on with Kelly and her sellers team. You couldn't ask for a better experience. Kelly and her team helped us finish getting our house ready and did a top notch job at staging it after we moved out. Kelly knows what she is doing. I advise you to follow her strategy. She is a skilled negotiator and is always on the level. Our home sold within 24hrs for top dollar. Kelly's team rocks. Best in The area.

Kelly DeBrosse and her team from ReMax/One Realty were the best  and easiest people to work with. The townhouse did need some repairs and Kelly had them done for me at such a reasonable cost that I could not have had it done from this distance. I am semi-disabled and Kelly was so considerate and willing to go above what is normally considered her job. She not only took care of the repairs, she personally went in and cleaned out the trash in the cabinets and closets that were left by the former tenants. She was pleasant throughout the whole situation and I can't say enough about her. She also had it sold within a week of being listed!

I recently sold my home with Kelly DeBrosse at Re/MAX and was very impressed with both her and her team's performance throughout the whole process.  I thought that Kelly did a great job of evaluating my home and recommending upgrades that would increase appeal to buyers without costing me an arm and a leg.  Kelly's team made the decision process very simple by providing to me a list of recommended upgrades (including price quotes!) in a spreadsheet which I could approve/reject item by item.  Even better, I didn't even have to seek out contractors to complete the work, Kelly's team scheduled all of that, which took a huge burden off my shoulders.  The contractors did a high quality job (painting, light fixtures and flooring) , in a timely fashion and were very respectful. I had some reservations about staging, wondering if that was really necessary but it was definitely the right decision.  Staging was done very tastefully and actually did make the interior of my house a lot more attractive.   Once my house went on the market, Kelly did a good job negotiating with prospective buyers and the house went under contract one day after listing. 
Overall, I felt very comfortable working with team Kelly DeBrosse.   I believe I got the maximum value for my home and they definitely minimized the amount of stress I went through because they handled almost everything themselves.  Would highly recommend them to anyone looking to sell their home.

Kelly and her team are diligent, responsive and will do everything they can to make sure the process of selling your home goes smoothly. To my delight, we had one showing and our house received an offer for full asking price the day it went on the market . After the inspection, there were a couple of major repairs to be made but Kelly negotiated with the buyer/vendors to make it less costly for us but still benefit everyone in the end.
From the initial meeting to closing, Kelly made sure that things were moving along in a timely manner. Sherry did an amazing job of transforming the look of the house with her beautiful staging and photography. Maggi was very helpful with the documents via email and collecting information needed for closing.  All in all, working with Kelly Debrosse and her team was a great experience and I would highly recommend them.

We
found Kelly DeBrosse and her team, including Audrey Johnston, on
Angie?s list and cannot say enough wonderful things!  We were looking to
sell our townhome and purchase a single family home and contacted
Kelly.  She came out quickly
to meet with us one on one and discuss the sale of our townhome.  She
explained the process well and helped guide us through our timeline of
when to list based on the market.  I was already a few months pregnant
and anxious to be fully moved at least a month
or two before my due date.  She listened to our goals and helped us
determine a fair price to list.  She sent Sherry to stage our house and
take pictures and she did an amazing job.  The office was great about
communicating with us to get e-docs and make the
process as painless as possible.  After a fair amount of foot traffic
and feedback we dropped our price slightly and received an offer we were
satisfied with shortly after.  We felt like Kelly did a great job of
managing our expectations. 
 
Kelly
referred us to Audrey Johnston in the interim to work on finding a home
to purchase and we literally cannot say enough wonderful things about
Audrey.  She was absolutely amazing!!!!  She was so patient with us and
spent countless
hours over the course of several months looking at houses all across
the triangle.  I always felt like she was very honest and I was able to
trust her opinion and expertise fully.  She never pushed us outside of
our comfort zone and was always available when
we needed her.  When we went under contract on our townhome, she raced
around with us to find the perfect home.  There were some issues out of
any of our control with the home we wanted to purchase and Audrey went
above and beyond to get the deal done for
us.  We were incredibly happy with our purchase and thanks to her we
were able to get the deal done to our satisfaction.  I felt so happy and
relieved knowing she was passionate and fighting for our best interests
every step of the way.  She handheld every
bit of the process and is still in touch with us after the move making
sure every loose end was tied up.  I literally don?t know what we would
have done without her!!!!  Hopefully we won?t be going anywhere anytime
soon, but I would without a doubt go back
to Kelly and Audrey next time we list.

Upon meeting with Kelly who came highly recommended we knew she was the perfect match for us! We were so impressed with her entire team I would recommend them time and time again! The home we were selling was not a easy sale due to the floor plan and small yard..it would take the right buyer for sure. Kelly had Sherry come in and stage our home with impeccable taste..no fee just another bonus for choosing the right realtor. I truly believe the staging and professional photos taken is what brought the foot traffic and most importantly a buyer! The process was very easy Kelly and her team are very diligent, knowledgeable and quick to respond..they care they really do! We also used Kelly as our buyers agent as well her partner Audrey was so fun to work with! She even met during a scheduled snowstorm to take us to tour a home that we thought "might be the one" on short notice. This team goes above and beyond to ensure you are happy with every step of the process. We could not of been more impressed!

What can I say. If you want to sell your home fast, get a great price and not worry about the details, better call Kelly. Kelly took everything in hand from day 1. She and her team had the house prepped for sale, organized our belongings with the phenomenal help of Squared Away for staging,, and managed all the details while we remained far far away. After just 3 weeks, she exceeded our expectations by getting competing offers that got us more than the list price. With her team, she also ably managed some last minute emergencies so that we closed without incident. Great communication, smart and tenacious, knows what works and gets it done!!! Highly recommended!!

Kelly came to our house and went over the current market and what we should list our house for to be competitive in the market. She walked the house to let us know what needed to be done. We listed and sold very quickly!! How exciting. She answered all of my questions, she didn't care if I text her or called her with a very serious question or something little. She always put me at ease. With only 18 days to get out of current house, we had planned to build. Kelly suggested we look at pre-existing as long as we were comfortable with it. We did, and found a house that had a layout that was better than what I was planning on building in the neighborhood we wanted to build in. She did our negotiations on our purchase and made sure we were moving into a house that would not need anything done after we moved in. Because we had to move so quickly, it worked out that we did a rent back for a week from the sellers before the actual closing. We closed on our house and new house on February 13th. Kelly just called me on March 9th just to check in and see how everything was going and if we needed anything. 
Needless to say, Kelly is very personable, will help you find exactly what you want in your price range. She will not push for something more than she knows you can handle. I have since recommended her to several people.

To find a seller, I read all of the wonderful comments and recommendations on Angie's list
which led me to request Kelly DeBrosse from RE/MAX ONE REALTY to sell my home in Cary, NC.
Her vision first then the reality of making my home look its best so I get top dollar was beyond my expectations.
Kelly's knowledge of the local businesses to make the necessary repairs at a lower cost was so helpful.
I highly recommend Kelly DeBrosse and her team if you are ever in need of a realtor.

Kelly DeBrosse is simply a force of nature.  She just gets it done.
We listed our home for sale with Kelly after having had a poor experience with another listing agent.  Kelly was prepared, knowledgeable, and professional.  She viewed our home and asked lots of intelligent questions, formulated a marketing strategy, advised us on what touch-ups and remodeling would give the most bang for the buck, and went to work.  She arranged for the tradesmen that we needed (carpet, vinyl, some light carpentry) and managed the work in coordination with our schedule and needs.  She had her staging team come in and make the house stand out for the pictures and had high-quality professional photography done that really showcased the home well in the MLS listing (which is absolutely crucial today).  She cunningly used the picture captions to do additional marketing beyond the space limitations of the MLS listing text itself.  She had a beautiful tabloid-sized fold-out flier crafted in full color, leveraging the same gorgeous pictures.  Throughout the process, she communicated thoroughly and clearly with us and stayed on top of all the details so we didn't have to worry about anything. 
All I need to say about the effectiveness of her service is that within 24 hours of the listing going up on MLS, we'd had three showings and received a full-price offer, contingent only upon financing, not upon sale of the buyer's home or anything else.
We'd had it on the market for a month with a prior listing agent and gotten exactly one showing.  Same property, radically different level of professional real estate sales capability.  That agent was clueless about the importance of staging & pictures, and had posted pictures on their listing that were so drab and cheap that they spoke very poorly of the house.  Kelly, by contrast, made her listing sing like Aretha Franklin.
It turned out that the buyer was a bit difficult to deal with, apparently being paranoid that everybody was out to do her wrong, even including her own agent (who also seemed to be rather challenged in managing the situation).  She made a number of demands for repairs, some of which were reasonable but many of which were for silly or trivial things (caulking a faucet trim ring, replacing light bulbs in the attic -- really?!).  Kelly and her team handled the interactions with grace and professionalism, but appropriate firmness, so that we negotiated a reasonable price reduction to offset a portion of the repairs the buyer wanted done and I didn't have to go do a bunch of trivial things that a normal buyer would just take on themselves.  Kelly and her folks kept us calm and gave us hope in the midst of some unhelpful behavior on the part of the buyer, shepherding the deal to a successful conclusion.  We closed last week and we wish the buyer well and wish Kelly and her team much success in the future.  They'll have it, I think, because they'll continue to earn it.
In short, if you want to sell your house, list it with Kelly and do what she suggests.  She'll make it happen.

Kelly came in an was brutally honest about changes we would need to make if we were going to sell our house quickly. Paint the door and shutter, replace carpet in the bedrooms and so on.Working with Kelly is Sherry Ray who spent a day a and a half staging our house. Sherry made the interior look so nice I wanted to cancel the sale and stay in the house:-). Kelly and Sherry Ray truly know what they are doing and understand the real estate market very well. Trust them with the sale of your house---you will not be disappointed.

She knows this business and does all the right things. Others may tell you they know about the work it takes, but dismiss some of it offhand. Kelly and her team focus on every little detail. She reviewed my house with her designer, we fixed what she said, then they staged it. Listed Monday might - contract Thursday. The details of appeal and showings are critical to this type of success.

And, they didn't stop there!  After the Inspection, the team's broad knowledge of regulations & construction, their network of partners and relationships in the town are crucial to moving forward on some tough items.  I am SO glad I am not left to my own knowledge and contractors.  And, I can call her with questions on the house I am purchasing - she gets it fast and has an answer that keeps the ball moving.  In either town...

I just cannot say enough about this team.  Nor can I thank them enough.
If the commission is the same, why would you go anywhere else?

We highly recommend Kelly for both the sale and purchase of your home. She was so professional and informative from our first introductory meeting to the close of our new home. Kelly's knowledge of the area, builders, market dynamics and trends are just a few of the skills that set her apart from her peers. In the sell of our home we experienced many unforeseen challenges. The first appraisal came in well under the sell price and most agents would have recommended we accept the fate of that appraisal. The real value she brought in this situation was in supporting and outlining the minimal risk we needed to take ensure the maximum price for our home. Kelly and her team assisted us every step of the way and the end result was a second offer and higher appraisal which resulted in an increase of $25,000. It is evident the Kelly always puts her clients needs first! We are so grateful to Kelly for helping us find land and assist through construction of our new home. If you are buying or selling a home or both, you will not find a better partner and representative than Kelly Debrosse!
