Professionalism, is the closest term I could come up with to describe Kelly Richmond. His knowledge of real-estate, laws, practices, loans, inventory, local points and activities of interest, as well as, the State of Nevada requirement’s for new residents is unsurpassed. He is always accessible, which is extremely important to out-of-state buyers. Kelly’s services extend beyond the sale as he is always ready to assist and or answer questions for you.

I went through several other Reno real-estate agents before I found Kelly. If what you want is an ethical, honest, hard-working, and responsible real-estate agent, then Kelly Richmond is the Agent for you. If you are willing to settle for less than perfection, then find another agent. It is without reservation, that I give my highest recommendations to Kelly Richmond and associates. I am glad to have met him and look forward to future business and association with him.

Respectfully,

Terry Tidball

I recently purchased a home in Reno with Kelly as my buyer's agent. Kelly was able to accommodate my fixed schedule as an out-of-state buyer. He was always accessible and responded promptly with whatever I needed.

Kelly made the process seamless. I look forward to working with Kelly again and would highly recommend Kelly to anyone looking for real estate in the Reno area.

Anyone interested in buying a home in Reno should contact Buyer's Agent Kelly Richmond. There are many good R.E. agents but they are generally working for the Seller.

You need someone working for you! We were fortunate to be referred to Kelly Richmond. He is Excellent. Very competent, Low-Key, and knowledgeable and makes the transaction very uncomplicated.

He was always one-step ahead of all our needs and concerns. He became a Friend!

We recently purchased a home in Sparks Nevada and we were very pleased with the friendly and courteous service that we received from Kelly Richmond. We loved his website and its generous access to listings without having to register our personal information.

This no pressure sales approach was the reason we chose Kelly to help us find and purchase a home in the Reno/Sparks area. His service from start to finish was exemplary and he was very knowledgeable of all the steps in the home buying process. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble for him to handle and he was always willing to revisit a house or add new visits to our already crowded viewing schedule.

Kelly was always prompt with his responses to our emails and phone calls. We would definitely use Kelly again if we were to ever purchase another home and we would also recommend him to other home buyers.

Sincerely,
Ray and Margaret Kulak

Kelly Richmond made our home-buying experience not only nearly stress-free, but also downright enjoyable. His knowledge, expertise, and level of professionalism are remarkable.

We were first-time home buyers with no clear idea of what to expect. With Kelly as our guide, there were no big surprises. From day one, he led us through the entire maze of buying a home; from helping us decide what we needed and wanted, to the closing process and taking possession. Knowing that we were new at this, he had most of our questions answered before we ever thought of asking them.

Kelly has a thorough knowledge of the area and the market. He has relationships with people in all areas related to real estate and home-ownership. Any time we asked for a recommendation for a contact, Kelly had at least one to pass along immediately.

We would not hesitate a moment to recommend Kelly Richmond to anyone thinking about buying a home. Our only regrets: that we didn't do it sooner and that we only need one home.

I am a 74 year old woman moving from Austin, Texas to Reno and I could not have found a new home without the help of Kelly Richmond. He was very highly recommended to me and that recommendation is well earned. He spent a lot of time with me explaining what was happening in the market place and showing me a vast number of houses while always keeping my budget in mind. His initial packet included a varied assortment of valuable tools which were designed to make my introduction to the area run smoothly. His knowledge of the area made pinpointing the neighborhoods which wood be best suited for my lifestyle very time saving.

Navigating the purchase of a home is not easy in this market but Kelly made sure to always keep others moving forward while informing me of the progress being made on my behalf. Kelly's services did not stop with the purchase of my home. He has been, and continues to be, tireless in his efforts to make sure that my move is successful.

When my wife and I started looking for a house in the Reno area, we found Kelly Richmond's web site and were intrigued by the "buyer's agent" concept.

Simply put, Kelly Richmond works only for you and has no divided loyalties. We found this approach refreshing and Kelly certainly puts that concept into practice. Not only does he give you his undivided attention when you are with him looking at houses, but also is working for you when you aren't touring houses. He sent us many good listings to review and was quick to alert us to new opportunities when they first appeared. Kelly is low key, but he has keen powers of observation and quickly discerns your preferences in real estate and helps you focus on houses that will meet your criteria. We are very happy with the house we purchased and the community in which we now live. We have Kelly Richmond to thank for that.

He is the consummate professional who thoroughly knows and understands the Reno real estate market and the Reno communities. We highly recommend Kelly Richmond.

James and Pennapa Davidson

I recently bought a house using Kelly's services as my agent.

This was the seventh house that I have bought, and from the first day at his office when he explained his service, to the day of closing, he made what is usually a pain in you know where, to almost a pleasure.

He is an unusual person in this modern world, a man who means what he says and does what he says he will do. He is very competent and knows other highly reliable people in the area to make all of the myriad items that must be done on a property deal happen without a fuss. This all happens at a cost to you, the buyer, of nothing, since he is compensated by the seller's agent, although he wholeheartedly works for the buyer.

If this sounds like a wonderful deal that is because it is. I would never buy any type of real estate in this area without using him.

I highly recommend him to anyone, for any type of real estate purchase, residential or investment. You will NOT be sorry.

Sincerely, Merv Esch

Kelly, thank you for all you did for us, during all the ups and downs of buying our house, you truly work hard for your clients, having a buyers agent only is the only way to buy a house. We have both bought houses with agents who represent sellers and buyers, key words, they also represent the sellers, and having you as a agent was a very positive experience, and know you always had our interests first. Best complement I could give you is if we ever bought a house again, we would want you as our agent.

Thanks, stop by anytime your in the area,

Jack and Susan Keenan

We are a local couple and were upgrading to a bigger house.

We found Kelly on-line and decided to use his services. We like things to be very convenient and Kelly made it this way for us. Buying a house can be quite a hassle, but Kelly made is as painless as possible. We found him extremely professional, and knowledgeable. All our questions were answered right away (literally, you sent an e-mail and get response within 10 minutes). The answers were accurate and exhaustive. We ask a lot of questions and like frequent updates, which was accommodated. Kelly is extremely patient and straight to the point. We also enjoyed the fact that Kelly is an honest businessman, who won't use puffery just to get your business.

All the time we felt comfortable because we knew Kelly had our best interest in mind. We would definitely recommend him, and if need be in the future we would do business with Kelly Richmond again.

Magda and Phil Cleveland

My wife and I recently purchased a home in Reno, Nevada with the help of Kelly Richmond. We plan to retire there in several years to be close to our Grandchildren. Needless to say the house we bought had to make a 10, 8, and 5 yr. old happy. A swimming pool was picked as their top priority. Kelly hauled three young kids around Reno for three days and we had a ball looking and finally finding the house they wanted. Ok, we wanted it too! Our next concern was closing on a house from 3200 miles away in Fairbanks, Alaska.

He catered to our schedule, saw that every little flaw was fixed and taken care of, and represented us on site all the way. It was a great experience to deal with a man so knowledgeable of the Reno area. He even took the kids to their favorite places for lunch. Do like we did and visit his website to search for your retirement home. We got a fabulous house, had a great time and the kids thought he was 'Totally Cool'.

Sincerely, Jack & Terri Wagoner

I hope potential buyers will read the testimonials that have been written about Kelly, because they are right on. They cover everything from honesty, hardworking, not pushing us, to patience, etc etc etc. We are working on our fifth offer on properties (closed three so far) and we wouldn't work with anyone else.

Thanks Kelly...

Jane & Sid Bekowich

After meeting Kelly, I was impressed by his no-nonsense approach and his willingness to offer his honest opinion. I was immediately convinced that we could trust Kelly and he quickly demonstrated a willingness to work hard to help us find the right place. Being experienced homeowners in different parts of the U.S. , my wife and I had definite ideas (not necessarily the same) about what we wanted in our home. In addition, not being familiar with the Reno area, Kelly methodically informed us about the different parts of Reno , pros and cons. Once we focused on the primary areas to look for our home. Kelly was most helpful in guiding us to homes that met our criteria. Although we looked at many homes, Kelly was always patient showing a sincere interest in taking as long as necessary to find the “right” place. Kelly’s able assistant (and wife), Shaowei, played a key role in making us feel welcome to Reno and we appreciated her support and patience when it seemed that finding the “right” place was not going to happen right away. When the right place finally showed up, we were impressed with Kelly’s willingness and his abilities to guide us as we negotiated our final price. Although we could not be in Reno for many aspects of purchasing the home, Kelly continued to go above and beyond the call of duty by facilitating the complete process until we closed on the home. He stood in for us during walkthrough and inspections when we were not able to be there. We highly recommend Kelly Richmond for your home buying needs in the Reno area. His ethics and dedication are of the highest caliber and he has a great assistant to boot.

Hurston and Aurora Roberts

As a first-time homebuyer, I could not have asked for a better Realtor than Kelly Richmond. From the moment I first called his office, Kelly was responsive and prompt. His knowledge of the realty market in Reno was abundantly clear when we went out together to look at properties. Equally clear was his love for the area and his job. He truly enjoys showing people around Reno . Kelly was with me every step of the way once I made an offer.

He hung in with me and was very supportive through a complicated escrow process. When I was nervous or unsure about what was happening, Kelly was ALWAYS there to help me. He came with me to meet with my lender and to the title company.

He is an extraordinary professional. I absolutely recommend him to all buyers, and I am extremely grateful that I called him to be my Realtor.

Thank you, Kelly!

Stephanie Cowan

We had a very good experience working with Kelly in the purchase of a short sale property. At every phase of the process Kelly was responsive to our needs and requests. He fulfilled all commitments and was trustworthy. I would recommend him to my friends.

Doug & Diane

My first exposure to Kelly Richmond was through his wonderful web site. My kids, who are much more internet savvy than I, told me that the guy who developed that site must be pretty sharp.

As I lived far away, I was able to use Kelly's web site to become familiar with the Reno area and track the housing market in Reno neighborhoods for several months. Eventually, I felt the time was right to contact Kelly and follow through on finding a home. He gave me sound advice and helped me make contacts for getting pre-approved for a loan. Finally, my wife and I flew to Reno to meet Kelly and visit some houses. Kelly helped us find the right house at the right price.

My experience with Kelly was very satisfying. I found him to be very knowledgeable, professional, and hospitable. I highly recommend his services to anyone seeking to buy property in the Reno area.

To any buyer looking for property in the Reno, NV area

My wife and I were very satisfied with the services of Kelly Richmond. Kelly is an outstanding real estate professional. He provided us with real time information on houses that came on the market. This made it very easy to follow the market changes from our home 8 hours away in California.

The most important factors in our recommending Kelly are:

He listens to what your needs are and then shows you properties that are with in your specs.

He made solid appointments that ran on time and was a very big help in giving us the maximum utilization of time spent in the area.

And best of all he has excellent communication skills and utilizes e-mail and the internet to minimize errors in understanding.

Thank you Kelly

In 40 years, through 14 homes, I remember two Realtors; Kelly Richmond is one of them.

Mine was a long distance search, beginning on Kelly's website. Though I'm semi-literate in computers, even I was able to research listings and, if I had any questions, I called Kelly and he gave me any information I needed. I made several trips from Texas. Each time I came with a long list, met Kelly, and spent every minute looking, eliminating, and researching. He has that gift of concentrating totally on you and your goals, as if there were no other clients. Eventually, after a couple of shifts in direction, I walked into my new home, knew it immediately, and put in a bid. The next morning as I was leaving for the airport, Kelly came by to let me know my bid had been accepted.

He handled everything: the inspection, repairs, and coordinated with my mortgage company regarding paperwork. Even my loan officer let me know how helpful he was getting information to them.

Kelly has a wealth of knowledge; I value his judgment and opinion. Most good businessmen have knowledge, but not always the people skills to make you care what they think. Kelly was positive and patient when I got frustrated and dedicated to searching until we found what I wanted. I will always consider him a friend and at the top of my list of Realtors.

Lan Patterson

As homebuyers from the Midwest, we found Kelly Richmond to be a friend in our search for a second home in Reno, Nevada. When we first contacted Kelly, he was genuinely interested in helping us even though he was doing it via e-mail and telephone and had never met us face-to-face. We were even surprised at how much information he was able to provide us long distance on numerous homes we were possibly interested in.

When we did meet Kelly and toured several homes with him, he was always very accommodative and interested in what we wanted to buy, not what he thought we should buy. One of the things we especially liked about Kelly was his “no pressure” sales approach. He showed us every home we wanted to see, and others he thought we might be interested in, all the time without pressuring us to make a decision. In fact, from the time we initially contacted Kelly until we actually purchased a home with his help nearly one year had gone by.

Kelly has also been very willing to help us with other aspects of owning a home “long distance”, and is someone we could call if we needed advice or help with something. We would highly recommend Kelly to anyone interesting in purchasing a home in the Reno area, as you could not go wrong by seeking his advice and assistance.

Steve and Janet Robinson, Omaha, Nebraska

Kelly Richmond did the impossible, he found a home for my blended family that perfectly suits our needs in a matter of days.

He always responds promptly to emails and phone calls, and is willing to do whatever is necessary, even hand carrying papers to Carson City, to make it work. We highly recommend him and would certainly call on him again for any real estate needs.

Thanks Kelly!

Marsha Trimble, Doug and Julie Williams and kids

We can't say enough good things about Kelly Richmond.

When transferring from Sacramento, CA, to the Reno area we were faced with very limited time to accomplish the nearly impossible. With Kelly's guidance and patience, we survived a short sale that fell through and then found the home of our dreams which he helped us close on in less than 45 days. The key to a successful move is timing and Kelly made our schedule his priority. When we could not be there, he handled things in our stead with professional results and a smile.

Thanks for being there when we needed you,

Bill and Maggie Burns/Meyers

KELLY,

THANK YOU FOR THE STERLING REPRESENTATION.

IN THE 30 PLUS YEARS THAT I HAVE BEEN BUYING REAL ESTATE, THIS EVENT WILL, HANDS DOWN, WIN AS THE BEST PURCHASE THAT I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN. RHONDA IS EQUALLY VOCAL AS MY PARTNER. WE OWE YOU BIG TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALL OUR BEST

RHONDA AND ROD BEAN.

I have purchased several properties in my time and none of the transactions have gone as smoothly and quickly as the recent purchase we made from Kelly Richmond as our agent.

I chose Kelly from a random listing of agents when I first was interested in pursuing an opportunity to purchase a property. I made contact with Kelly, told him what I was looking for and flew up from Las Vegas to meet him. Mr. Richmond has been very accommodating, professional and very diligent in making things happen. He promptly and thoroughly clarified questions that I had. We closed this whole deal without me having to go to Reno again, all through mail correspondence. Mr. Richmond is well connected with surrounding people who appear to have good communication lines focused on meeting the needs of his clients. My sister and brother-in-law flew to Reno after closing of our property and had nothing but good things to say about him. I would not hesitate to do business with Kelly again and would recommend him without reservation to anyone wishing 5 star service in closing their properties.

Kudos to you Mr. Richmond for a job well done.

Nick B

Kelly Richmond is awesome! We have purchased 2 homes through him and can't say enough good things to express how great he is. He really listened to our needs, our desires and went above and beyond. He was there for us for every need and every question. Kelly is very patient and tenacious. Even though we had several houses awaiting short sales, he always responded in a timely manner and was ALWAYS very professional and a great pleasure to talk to. I would have no problem HIGHLY recommending him to anybody looking for real estate in the Reno area. Not only is he highly professional, I would consider him a friend.

With great respect and gratitude,

William & Karen Johnson

The first time we contacted Kelly Richmond was the morning of May 28th, the Friday before Memorial Weekend. I had already taken advantage of his website to research buying a retirement property in the greater Reno area. He agreed to meet us that very evening to get an idea of what we had in mind. Our intent was to do a fact finding trip to get an idea of where in the area we might focus our search. Kelly interviewed us to learn about our needs and wants and which areas we wanted to see. He then agreed to meet us the very next morning to see properties. Kelly is great at research and is a marathon man when the situation calls for it. The next two days he showed us 21 properties. One in particular stood out so well that we went back for a second viewing. Before leaving Reno to go back to the Bay Area that Monday, we put in an offer that was eventually accepted. Kelly attended to the many steps needed to negotiate the closing process while we were 200 miles away. Today, July 16th, we will visit with Kelly again to pick up the keys to our new home. Kelly is tireless, patient, knowledgeable and service oriented, especially adept at dealing with out of town clients. Most importantly we feel that we can trust Kelly implicitly. I have dealt with real estate agents in 5 different states and have never met his match. Kelly, you're the best!

Kelly was a low/ no pressure guide in this process and was there to provide us sound and experienced information. He drove my wife and me to over 30 properties we had pre-designated to view. He told us the pros and cons of each of our decisions which built our trust in him quickly.

In addition to his support and guidance he worked closely with our financier to make a short sale home happen faster than any (even the seller) expected. He told us the risks upfront and gave only educated and experienced answers to our questions, no matter how hard they were.

We highly recommend Kelly for any buyer, especially ones that need a trustworthy and experienced buyer’s agent.

Thank you Kelly,

Sara Jo and Trenton Johnson (and the whole Johnson gang!)

Dear Homebuyer,

It is with great enthusiasm that I recommend Kelly Richmond as a buyer's agent. Kelly listened carefully to our needs, searched diligently through available properties, and spared no effort in helping us to find our retirement home. We were long distance buyers and Kelly made every effort to accommodate our availability. He was friendly, professional, and a pleasure to work with. During our escrow, Kelly worked continually to help us meet deadlines and answer questions that arose. He is a gem among Realtors, no pretenses, just honest effort. We happily recommend him to anyone looking to purchase in Reno.

Karen and Sean deQueiroz

Kelly was such a patient Realtor. We started looking for houses in June and didn't close until February. It took three months to just find our house with him always being available.

Then after accepting our bid, another ordeal with our lender took place. He still stuck out the hard times and finally everything came together.

After being in our house for a few months now, we really appreciate his determination on working with the lender and us. We all became a team. I would not hesitate to ask Kelly about anything house related in the next year or two. I feel, while his work is done with us, he would still take the time to help answer any questions on any problems should they arise.

He is a great character guy and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a house.

Thanks again Kelly,
Terry and Lorie Fitch

Sincerely,
Tim Healey

Jim Edgemon

I have had a pleasant experience dealing with Kelly. We have purchased four condo's through him and we are very happy with him.

Brian Yeske

As first time home buyers we identified Kelly as a Realtor who had the patience to answer all of our questions honestly and professionally.

Kelly will give you honest advice when looking to buy a home. Kelly is a very good listener and is a very good advocate to have when searching for the right home.

Also if you want someone who is dependable and meets all commitments, I would select Kelly Richmond as your Realtor.

Randy and Melissa Miller

I was living in southern California and wanted to relocate to northern Nevada. I solicited several Realtors on-line to provide my wife and I with information about home prices and infrastructure. Kelly Richmond was the only one that responded with detailed information that far surpassed our expectations.

Subsequently, we flew to Reno and met with Kelly to visit homes. Based upon our pricing and desired home layout, he strategically helped us identify the area that met our requirements. He helped us to pin-point two homes that we wanted to purchase, and eventually narrowed it down to the dream home that we currently reside. Kelly's hard work, perseverance and honesty as a Realtor has made us happy with our relocation, and we cherish him as a true friend.

Sincerely,
Doug Healy

During the whole process he was there to assist with valuable information on what should be on particular forms, who needed to do what and the whole closing process. He then continued on taking pictures of the progress on the house every weekend.

Without Kelly's professional assistance and concern, I doubt we would have ended up with the perfect house that we did. He not only wanted to represent us but became one of our new friends in Reno when we moved in.

I would recommend his services to anyone looking to purchase a home in the Reno area.

Ilo Gassoway

We think you are a great Realtor. That was the first time we bought a house in USA, we had met some Realtors before you, but we chose you to be my Realtor was because you were very kind and had a lot of patience to explain everything to me. You helped us to choose a great house, my family loved it. Thank you for all you help.
