Most of my business comes by referral. I try to do an outstanding job for each client so that when a friend or family member asks for a referral, they gladly offer my name.
Do you have references?
Yes, please read what a few of my clients have to say:
"You got us into our dream home! Thank you so much for leading us on this journey from the very beginning to the exciting end. We really appreciated your honest advice and your integrity through the whole process. We'll keep passing out your magnets! Thank you so much for everything!" Brad and Sarah Fitzgerald
"Kelly has become the Myers family "personal" Realtor- he helped find wonderful homes for our parents, son, daughter, brother, and sister - we trust him implicitly and love to recommend him to friends." Don and Heidi Myers
"We used Kelly to sell our home recently and we very much appreciated his honesty, professionalism and knowledge. We were continuously updated on the progress of the sale, and we would highly recommend him to anyone needing a real estate professional." Steve and Cathy Noffsinger

Clint and Suzie Hollingsworth
I am a buyer. How can you help me?
We set an appointment to sit down, get to know each other, discuss the process, and talk about your wants and needs. From there we formulate a plan to find the home that best fits those needs.
I am your representative and everything we share will be confidential. My primary function is providing access to homes for sale through the local MLS and homes available by owner.
If you feel comfortable with my services, I ask for a firm, ongoing commitment. In other words, I ask that you commit to me as your Realtor regardless if you buy a home from the MLS or for-sale-by-owner. If at any time you feel this commitment is unreasonable, we can simply end the relationship at any time without any further obligation.
What does it cost to have you as a buyer's agent?
There is no charge. If you decide to buy a for-sale-by-owner, then the seller pays my fee from their closing proceeds. The amount I ask for is 3% on the 1st $100k, and 1.5% on the balance(based on the purchase price).
I am a seller. How can you help me?
I provide home sale information necessary to get an accurate price on your home. The market analysis I provide will be honest and straightforward. I also provide marketing, staging, and negotiating advice.
If you decide to list with me, I take care of all the advertising and marketing. Your role is keeping your home prepared for showings. Once we have an offer, I help you to negotiate your best price and walk you through the process to closing.
What's the real estate fee that you charge?
The total real estate fee is 6% on the first $100,000 and 3% on the balance. At closing, the fee is divided equally between the Buyer’s agent and the Listing agent.
Where do you advertise?
North Central Washington MLS, Wenatchee World Homefinder, KellyBoyle.net, Craigslist, Trulia, Zillow, Postlets, www.wenatcheerealestate.wordpress.com, Facebook, Twitter, and numerous other websites.
What advantage would I have hiring you?
Experience: 20 years in a variety of market conditions.
Success: 200+ closings since moving to Wenatchee in 2002.
Honesty: I promise to tell you the truth so you can make your best decision.
Integrity: I put your interest above all others, even mine.
Marketing: Superior web and print advertising.
Communication: I always return call promptly.
Company: Premier One leads our local market in listings and sales.
What else can you tell me about your yourself?
I have been married to Heidi since 1997 and we have three children: Ezra (10), Zachary (8), and Gabriella (4). Some of my hobbies are mountaineering, road and mountain biking, skiing, small group Bible studies, camping, and watching movies with the family. I love the quality of life that North Central Washington allows and often say, "Who could ask for more?"
