Highly and Enthusiastically!.. “If you’re looking for a realtor who is going to have your back and guide you without fail, Kali is the one for you. From my first phone call with Kali, I could tell that we clicked, and every step along the way has been my most positive experience I’ve had working with a realtor.

This is the 3rd home I’ve bought, but Kali still taught me so much about the local market, and things to look out for and consider before putting an offer in on a home. She gives you her upfront and direct input on things she notices in every house, which I truly appreciated since it helps level you out to think about this big of a decision logically rather than emotionally, which is crucial when the market is as volatile as it has been this year. When I found the house that I loved, Kali came out for a first of the morning viewing before I left town even though she wasn’t feeling the best, and helped me create a strong offer that ended up getting accepted. She has answered my calls at midnight, responded to messages at 7am, and all times in between and has always delivered the best in service. It truly shows that while her job is being a realtor, her passion is for serving people to the best of her ability. When you work with Kali, you’re getting the best of the business here in the CSRA. She will make you feel like you are a friend, not just a client, and is someone you can always rely on when you are in need. All of this can be summed up by simply saying…. #SmartPeopleUseKali.”

Great Energy and Warm Personality... “Since our first phone call, Kali has gone above and beyond to help us navigate our first home buying experience. Before Kali was even officially our realtor, we had already spent hours on the phone while she walked us through the extensive home buying process. We told her what we were looking for, and after visiting Augusta and walking through a few houses with her, she really picked up on what we liked and didn’t like in a house. She’s been available all hours of the day to answer our questions, help us make decisions, and look at houses for us while we were across the country. Kali and Matt took their time going through each of the houses we sent their way, catching small issues that many people might not have caught until they got to the home inspection. They offered advice and solutions, telling us what it would take to make necessary updates so that we could make an informed decision about each houses we looked at. Kali’s great energy and warm personality made the process so much more enjoyable and easy. She has lots of experience in this market and helped us find exactly what we were looking for. She always gave honest feedback when asked, and knew what to look out for. We are so happy that we chose Kali to help us buy our first home.”

Thank You for Helping Our Family... “Kali has been nothing but beyond amazing in helping our family purchase our first home. We would have never imagined buying our first home sight unseen and not seeing it for the first time until 4 days before closing day.

From our 1st phone call we knew Kali was the realtor for us. We sat and talked for over 1 hour and by just knowing our family dynamic she knew exactly what our “must haves” were. There have been countless calls, text, FaceTimes, emails, videos and pictures but Kali made sure we knew each step and what was next. She was always available to answer all of our questions no matter what time of day or even at night. Matt Bell, can’t thank you enough. From the first video to the very last one you have been great. We appreciate you more than words can express. Thank you for helping our family find a place to call home. We can’t recommend Kali and her team enough.”

Strategies for Each Scenario... “This was the 2nd home that my husband and I have purchased. It’s been a long time since our first home purchase, so we were very rusty in the whole home purchasing process. Before we even agreed to have Kali as a realtor; she spent around one and a half hours talking to us in terms of getting to know us and our wants/needs. That phone call told my husband and I that Kali really cares; she doesn’t look at her clients like numbers. We knew from that phone call that she was the realtor for us.

We learned a lot from our first home purchase, and we knew what we wanted and really did not want to budge on giving up features we wanted. Since this was an important investment for us; we asked Kali to nitpick the homes because we didn’t want a money pit. Kali was very knowledgeable and pointed out a lot of things that my husband and I did not notice. The smallest crack in the ceiling would not bother most people; but with Kali’s experience she can see that and state “Hey that’s foundation issues.” As a buyer my husband and I really appreciated that attention to detail because we didn’t want to make a huge purchase mistake. Matt Bell, who we worked with as well was awesome like Kali. He was very knowledgeable and personable and we enjoyed viewing houses with both Kali and Matt. What makes Kali and her team so great is the patience she had with us. I kid you not, we looked at over 20+ houses…And with this crazy market, it took 6 offers on different houses to finally snag one. From the late-night calls/text to the many offer rejections, Kali was there the entire time. She motivated us to keep pushing when the offers fell through. Around the 4th offer rejected we were about to call it quits. But Kali stressed how important it was to push through because we were so close. She was right. As a message to other buyers, she will take care of you. It is a rough market but do not give up; Kali stated regarding offers; 5-6 is the magic number and she was totally right. We love our current home, and it hits all our check boxes. Thank you so much Kali!”

Both Buyers & Sellers... “Whenever I see someone on FB looking for recommendations for a realtor, I am usually quick to add my recommendation for KALI! We’ve worked with Kali as sellers & now as buyers. Kali was not just our realtor, she was our inspector, banker, surveyor, friend, decorator, and FIGHTER, the one person you can trust throughout this roller coaster of a process. We started shopping for a home in 2021 (no big rush – just browsing) + she knew we weren’t ready to buy & she still met us at various locations around the CSRA. When looking at homes she would spot all the things that would be potential issues with EACH home (water damage, ages or roof, cost of remodeling, etc.) She will be completely honest with you even as you are walking through your ideal home. She is knowledgeable about builders in the area and gave us the run down, all of the information needed to do our research. When we were looking at various lots around the CSRA – she would drive out to the lot to preview before we would even make an offer. She will make sure you are both confident and informed. At our orientation for our new build – my husband and I would of walked around and thought GREAT it looks perfect but not Kali, she had blue tape all over the home for the builder to touch up before our move. We also had issues the night before closing & our banker was not available. Kali was there itemizing every line item on our closing documents to help us indicate the issue up to 11pm the night before closing! She will be your advocate through and through. Kali will make you feel like you’re the only client she is working with, ONLY to find out she is currently juggling many many other clients all at the same time.”

For the Past Six Months... “For the past 6 months Kali has been working closely with us during our housing search. We went back and forth from new build to resale and finally decided that resale was the way to go. She educated us through the entire process and answered every question thoroughly-I felt like I was in Kali’s real estate crash course!

With us being overseas, it was quite difficult to house hunt especially with the market as hot as it is. We viewed multiple houses per week via video walk-through which made it a lot easier to make such big decisions. When we finally found our home Kali made sure we covered all bases from the inspection to even more extensive video walk-throughs. She went above and beyond to make sure our family was making the right decision and that we’d have the perfect place to call home especially since we didn’t see the home until closing day due to relocating from overseas. If you don’t home shop with Kali, then you are doing something wrong because she is the BEST. We will continue to use Kali and to recommend her services to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Augusta area. Thank you Kali—we appreciate you!!”

Where Do We Begin!.. “Where do we even begin? We recently PCS’d to Fort Gordon without a home and quickly being forced to weigh our options. Buying a house was far from our plans; yet it instantly became our only choice for a multitude of reasons.

I found Kali a couple months back, prior to our move; little did I know we would actually NEED her! When the time came and our only option was to buy, I quickly reached out to Kali for assistance. Upon speaking to her, she mentioned a 1 hour consultation call. To be transparent- I thought to myself “I do not need to have this call, we just need to start looking for a house.” Only because I did my fair share of research on her, and knew I wanted her as our agent I agreed to take the call. Meanwhile she scheduled her time to speak to me while she was on a vacation with her family. Never once did I feel rushed; or pushed to get to the point. She was very thorough during the call, she took time to hear my needs, explain her process, and to ultimately gain our trust. As we started looking at houses, many, many houses; Kali never tried to force me into a house. If anything on multiple occasions might of talked us off the ledge – definitely frustrating because I just wanted a home. But realistically she pretty much counseled me to remaining focus; and to not cut myself short. Overall, she did not let me settle at all! For that reason I am so grateful for her. Once we found a home it was definitely not all peaches & cream; it wasn’t the smoothest process for many uncontrollable reasons. There were many times it didn’t look like we would even make it to closing, and yet she still remained faithful. Kali never gave us any doubt that she was loosing patience. Rather she sat up late nights, I mean like until 2AM, talking about options and how we can make things work. At the end of the day everything aligned perfectly and we made it to closing! Kali and her team will forever be my go to as long as we are in this area.”

First Time Home Buyers... “We are first time home buyers who were trying to coordinate finding a house in Georgia from overseas. Kali was not only helpful, but is extremely knowledgeable in her craft. She explained the process from start to finish, & was available to us at all times. She truly is not just a realtor, but a friend. Constantly looking out for my family through the whole entire home buying process.

Kali & her assistant Matt are on top of their game and I commend anyone who can deal with an overstimulated mother of two. I could call or text her with any question or concern and she would not only educate me, but reassure me and at the end of the day, that’s what you want. Someone who knows their stuff, someone you can trust, and won’t BS you. She always has your best interest at heart. Thank you Kali for making such a hectic process a little less hectic. We love you and couldn’t of asked for a better realtor.”

Reza & Nancy

EVERYONE should feel this way!.. "Very few times you come across a realtor who will spend his/her valuable time to understand you and your family to help you along the process of purchasing a home. Kali is undoubtedly, one of the best realtors in the CSRA area who values her clients. She was extremely helpful, open, transparent, and reliable through the whole process, she really cared about us, understood our needs from the very first house; even giving us ideas on how to better utilize the space. After seeing a few homes, she knew what we liked and what we didn’t. She spoke her mind when we went to see a listing. She provides the same level of service to a shopper who’s buying a $100k home and over $500k home. We have seen her work really hard for a listing that took a couple of years to sell for various reasons. She still stood by it. She treats her clients as family which is why she gets almost all her client friend’s resales. If you need to list it or buy, she is the one to call. #SmartpeopleuseKali “

Tried and true!.. “Kali is absolutely amazing… plain and simple. We’re first time homebuyers that knew nothing about the process & even though we were currently living 6 hours behind EST in Hawaii, she still prevailed by staying up late & doing video tours for us… We are so grateful to have an amazing realtor that was very concerned about the quality of our house and getting almost ALL repairs done. Cannot recommend her enough.”
