Love Kelly- Very helpful and personal!
Kelly is the best realtor! She helped us find the property in 2019, and helped us sell in 2024. Would not have been as great of an experience without her!
Very happy with the outcome.
Kelly made the entire process easy and enjoyable.
Kelley went above and beyond to help me find that perfect home she not only just cared about who I was and what I was looking for, but she cared about me as a person and what was going on as well in my life. I ever have to go through, a home again the next time I would want Kelley as my agent again. I felt so welcomed and appreciated and she cared about me as a person and really attended to my needs and my girls needs. Through their process it was a little bit of a struggle. She was there to help answer questions , even after hours to help me feel more comfortable through the whole process as a first homebuyer. Through this struggle prayers said, and we were able to get through all the hurdles and figure out how to get it together.
Kelly was amazing helping with buying my first home. She is so friendly and worked around my schedule with me.
Heartfelt Gratitude for Your Exceptional Service
Dear Kelly,
I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest appreciation for all your hard work in selling my family home. Your dedication, professionalism, and expertise made the entire process smooth. From the initial consultation to the final closing, you demonstrated an unparalleled commitment to achieving the best possible outcome.
I am incredibly grateful for your guidance and support every step of the way. Selling my family home was an emotional journey for me, and your compassionate approach made all the difference.
With heartfelt thanks,
Jim Carollo
Very professional!
This is my second interaction with Leeds. The first was a cottage I bought in Felch. Outstanding commitment to customer satisfaction in 'buying' that cottage & 'selling' our estate. I counted on high expectations & I got it! What a great sale on our home- so thankful.
1st time buying a house. I had the opportunity to be Kelly’s client. Very professional and always looking the best options to meet my requirements and standards for the house I was looking for. Thank you very much Kelly Challancin.
If you’re looking for an agent with patience, kindness, and your best interest at heart-Kelly is the very best! Selling my loved house was bittersweet but she carried me through the whole process in the most sincere way. I will be recommending Kelly to everyone that I know and look forward to working with her again in the future.
Extremely professional and willing to help to go the extra mile to make sure the buyer and the seller were satisfied I'd recommend them to anybody
5 stars!!! We moved from Gladstone Mi to Iron Mountain and Kelly was fantastic! She made the process simple and stress free! Kelly is a breath of fresh air and I will recommend her to everyone!
Kelly is very professional and personable. She has a warm, welcoming presence. She listened and made sure our needs and wants were satisfied. She is definitely an asset to the Leeds sales team. Kudos to Kelly!
It was an absolute pleasure working with Kelly! It was our first experience with buying a home and she made the process enjoyable and easy. She answered any questions we had throughout the process and found our family the perfect home. Very happy with our experience.
We've worked with Kelly on a few purchases and sales now. She gives excellent customer service no matter how big or small the sale is!
