Kay is simply the BEST! She is absolutely wonderful to work with. Very professional, knowledgeable, fun, and a great communicator. We are her returning clients. We sold a town-home and bought a beautiful house with Kay a few years ago. She recently assisted us with selling the house due to moving out of state. Kay made everything very easy to navigate and was always available and helpful. We wouldn’t work with anyone else! Thank you, Kay!

I would highly recommend Kay Phillips to sell your house! From the very beginning she was informed and prepared, coming to our first meeting already knowledgeable about the house we were selling, as well as providing information about the current market and comps in our area. We had a tight schedule, as we had already purchased a new home and were also getting ready to go on a month-long trip out of town. We were uneasy about having our house on the market while we were away, but Kay reassured us that she would take care of everything. And she did! Kay sold our house in 4 days and it was under contract by the time we left for our trip. While we were away, Kay was responsive and timely in answering our questions and concerns via phone calls, emails and text messages. She took care of everything and gave us peace of mind throughout the entire process.

Kay was absolutely AMAZING to work with! She helped us find our dream home! This is our first home, so we had a lot of questions throughout the process and she made everything so much easier! She always went out of her way to make herself available to help us. We couldn’t have done it without her knowledge and expertise. I would highly recommend Kay to anyone looking to find their dream home!

My husband and I recently purchased our first home and worked with Kay Phillips as our agent. We had nothing but an outstanding experience working with her through the months-long process. She was everything we wanted in an agent and everything we didn't know we needed in an agent. She is an expert in her field and understands everything there is to know about homebuying. She is attentive, understanding, patient and trustworthy. We never felt pressure from her to put an offer on a house and she was with us every step of the way during contract negotiations. If you want an agent that will help make your homebuying experience smoother, Kay is your gal!

Kay did an incredible job helping us sell our old house and buy our new house! She is very knowledgeable about the selling and buying process. She gave great advice and guidance along the way. We ran into a few challenging situations, but she helped to guide us along. She remained confident that we would find our house even when it was taking awhile. She is very responsive in her communication. Kay was willing to assert herself at key junctures. Kay is very friendly and personable. We would strongly recommend her to anyone looking to sell or buy a home.

Kay was invaluable in helping us purchase our home. She was always prompt with communication. She was positive and optimistic. Kay gave great attention to details, both while showing us homes and especially during the negotiating process. We did run into some uniquely complicated situations, but Kay was completely on top of things and worked with our attorney to come up with solutions. She never made us feel like a burden, even when our situation did demand a lot of her. Kay is very personable and enjoyable to be with. She knew what we were looking for and worked hard to help us find it. She often went out of her way to tell us about properties that had not even hit the market yet. Kay is very knowledgeable and did a great job teaching us about the process as we went. We highly recommend Kay Phillips for buying and selling!

This is the second time we’ve used Kay Phillips for realty services. She helped us find our first “starter home” and was absolutely incredible. When we outgrew that home we knew Kay was the one to call to help us sell and buy our “forever home.” Considering the change in daily life with the pandemic, Kay made the entire process seamless and as easy as possible. We felt very little stress which sometimes is hard when buying and/or selling. Our house essentially sold in 2 days, at a price we couldn’t say no to! Kay is an absolute expert in her field; never did a question go unanswered. She’s full of resources and knows exactly who to call. Kay made the process very personal, she became so close to our family and truly cared about our needs and wants. We could not be happier with our new home and Kay made the road to closing truly an enjoyable ride.

Kay is a great realtor to work with. She is quick with getting showings set up. I appreciated that she was willing to go in and get flooring quotes before I moved in. She checked in with me through the entire buying process and was quick to reply to any call or text I made with questions to concerns.

I cannot say enough good things about Kay! My Fiancé and I purchased a home in Illinois while living in North Carolina with Kay's help. Kay was so dedicated and made the buying process so fun. Kay took the time to zoom video call us and show us multiple properties until we found the one we loved! She was so real with us about the value and condition of homes and answered any and all of our questions as first time home buyers. We LOVE our townhome and are so thankful for Kay's help! We are in our early 20's and had a lot to learn throughout this process but couldn't have asked for a better teacher than Kay! She truly treated us like her own children and we appreciate EVERYTHING she did for us! Would highly recommend!

Kay repeatedly came up as the best relocation agent in the area. She was an expert and made the process so smooth despite us being far away. I’ve worked with a ton of agents and never been as happy as I was with Kay. She was the biggest help possible. I could not recommend her enough.

Kay has been a Godsend! Seven years ago, she helped us find the perfect home for our family of five, so we knew she was our first choice to help us sell it after our family made the decision to relocate from Illinois to Colorado this year. Kay was beyond efficient in her technical skills like recommending the necessary improvements to our home to make it more marketable, providing trustworthy and talented companies to tackle classy marketing, upgrades and address buyers concerns, and confidently guide us through any negotiations. She also went above and beyond all of that by being an emotional ROCK for us as we navigated selling a home during a pandemic. It didn't take long before we accepted a FULL PRICE OFFER! We cannot recommend this special lady ENOUGH!

I reached out to Kay Phillips based on previous glowing reviews from past sellers and buyers and am eternally grateful I did. My husband and I used Kay’s services for purchasing our first home. To say that we were “green” when it came to loans, mortgages, home insurance etc. was an understatement but Kay was so patient with us and explained everything. No question was a dumb question and her vast knowledge put us at ease. The showings she set up were very organized and the homes she chose with our collaboration demonstrated she valued our priorities in what we wanted in a house. Her re- modeling ideas were practical and creative if the house needed some work so we didn’t feel too overwhelmed. What set her apart for us was her commitment and accessibility- phone, text, email, you name it, she’ll get back to you fast. Even now, we’ve been moved in for almost a week and she’s still available and helping us with odds and ends that no longer require her time. The closing process went smoothly knowing she was a phone call away (due to COVID) and she honestly gave us an education in adulthood we will always value.

My fiancé and I’s good friend referred us to Kay, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We are first time homebuyers and she over communicated everything to us (which we requested and desperately needed). She was always there to respond to our calls or call us back very quickly whenever we had a question or concern. We’ll definitely keep a relationship with her afterwards. We love Kay!

Kay was a dream to work with. We moved to IL from Texas, which could have very easily turned into a stressful process. Kay ensured that inspections, negotiations, and closing were handled appropriately and on time. She was always available and very patient with us. We can’t thank her enough for making this such a wonderful process.

Kay was my agent recently when I purchased a home as an investment property. I was very lucky that Kay was the agent available to first show me the property. She was always professional and responsive to my communications. I was particularly happy that Kay was not overly assertive but gently guided me through the process skillfully. I would not hesitate to use Kay again as my agent and will recommend her to my family and friends.

My experience with Kay was amazing! I just bought a house with her, it was my first house and I was really lost with the process but she helped me all the way from choosing a good house till the closing even helped after it with some doubts I had. She helped me understand the steps, gave us valuables tips and we trusted her in finding the right place for our family. Like I said in the beginning she is amazing! And she makes you feel comfortable and tries to find the perfect place for you and your family. We found a beautiful house with her help and I’m really happy with it. I would definitely recommend her to everyone. If one day I decide to buy another house I’ll call her right away and I’m sure she will do an amazing job again!

To say Kay Phillips was incredible is an understatement. She was exceptional! She demonstrated a very clear and in-depth knowledge of the markets, but most especially she was extremely caring, present, responsive, and made my wife and I feel very comfortable every step of the way. She provided exceptional guidance and insight on the areas we were looking and never made us feel pressured in any way shape or form.

My wife and I started this home search process a year ago and interacted with many realtors through tours and open houses, which were great, but once we had the pleasure of meeting Kay it was a no-brainer that we were going work with her and only her! I work in Real Estate and I interact with many brokers on both the Commercial and Residential side - I would recommend her to any and everyone who is even remotely thinking of buying or selling their house. Cannot say enough great things about Kay!

Kay helped my fiance and I get a house 5 months earlier than expected and we couldn't be happier! She really helped us through the process being first time home buyers and always made sure that we were comfortable and knowledgeable about every upcoming step of the home buying process. We definitely felt in great hands as she treated us as if we were her own family. Kay provided excellent direction and communication. If we ever had any questions or concerns she acted quickly and efficiently as we were never out of the loop or lost. She was professional and amazing from the beginning all the way through the last day of closing and signing (which was as painless and quick as ever). If you need a realtor with a great team and A-1 service and knowledge Kay is the person for you! Thanks for everything Kay!!

Kay was happy to assist us in the sale of our home, and she was quick to set all the necessary appointments to collect the information she needed for our listing. As messy and crazy as our life was, she was caring and supportive, and kept telling us our home was beautiful (though it was in such disarray), which made me feel at ease. The brochures of our home for potential buyers were first class! The Open House was beyond successful, and our home sold in 5 days. The whole process was smooth, carefree, and really out of our hands. We just had to move…easy enough! Kay was amazing and very invested, as if selling her own home. You can trust her to streamline a very stressful time in your life into an easy transition.

Kay Phillips Testimonial

Where do I begin to express our gratitude and utmost respect to Kay Phillips for her professionalism and diligent guidance throughout the whole process of selling our home. Our main challenge was we were moving out of state and winter was just around the corner. We needed to find a buyer very quickly was paramount. The prospect of the home going unsold for 3-4 months was not the ideal situation we envisioned. Kay reassured us that it is indeed possible to find the right buyer this late in the year right before the holidays. In order to make it happen we had to move quickly and stick to the plan. Kay guided us from beginning to end and our house was listed on a Tuesday and a signed contract within a week. The house sold above the listing price and closed one month later. We can’t thank Kay enough for her hard work and professionalism. She made the whole process less stressful and financially rewarding. Please keep Kay in mind for all your real estate needs you won’t be disappointed.

We had an older home that needed updates and Kay was very knowledgeable about what people want to see in a home. She helped us choose everything with references for each job. Her best recommendation was using Lehn Shepherd and his law firm. He was the voice of reason and Kay worked so well with him. Kay was always available to talk and work through any situation that came up. She answered emails, texts, and phone calls in a very timely manner, even when she was out of town, even talking to me while on an airplane! She is very dedicated to her clients and cares about the people she is working with. I would be happy to recommend Kay to anyone going through selling their home!

I'm not sure where to begin with my experience with Kay Phillips because it is actually difficult to put into appropriate words. Amazing doesn't quite cut it!

I was put in contact with Kay by Zillow while I was searching for property online. We were serious about buying a house and so I figured what the heck...I needed an agent and so maybe Kay can help. With the computer era, we have the ability to get a really good feeling for what a house is without ever walking through the door. Within a couple hours Kay had sent over probably 30 properties that fit my basic description of what I wanted. This was important for me because we were buying about an hour away from where we lived and I had to be sure about a house before we scheduled a showing. Kay was super responsive to my comments on particular likes and dislikes and really quickly honed in on what we were looking for. Finally, we had a chance to go see some homes on a snowy day in April. We looked at 5 or 6 homes with her and one of them just seemed right. We told her we would like to make an offer! We were excited!

From there, Kay knocked it out of the park! She hooked us up with some amazing people such as mortgage brokers, lawyers, and currently...our painter. I was wary of having all of these people that I didn't hand pick handling all of this business. However, I shopped 3 different lenders, got 4 quotes for painting, and basically wasted a lot of time and energy only to come to the conclusion that I was in the best hands possible and I could relax.

In summary, you would have to be absolutely crazy to not call this woman FIRST if you are looking for a new home! I know I'm not planning a move for a very very long time, but if I was I'd call Kay without hesitating!

“Kay Phillips was nothing short of amazing. Her friendly, positive attitude and opinions about our home made us feel confident that it was priced appropriately to sell. We had previously interviewed a variety of agents and knew within minutes that Kay had the local knowledge coupled with the proactive, empathetic approach that we had hoped for. She respected our feelings and acted as if we were her only clients. We trusted her judgement and honesty and the results were incredible – selling after our first showing! We would highly recommend Kay as she made the process so easy and painless from start to finish.”

Kay was GREAT!!! She promoted our house just as she said she would. She went above and beyond with staging and suggested taken advantage of our pending vacation to handle the showings and open house shile we were away for a 9-day vacation. We cleaned and prepped the house once, and by the time we returned, we had a highly qualified contract, and 2 back-up offer above list. We never had to endure the pain of showings and the process couldn;t have gone any smoother.

Kay is awesome. If you are looking for someone that is easy to work with, is a great communicator, and is dedicated to her work, you have found that and more with Kay. From the moment we met her we knew that she would be able to sell our house quickly for us. Kay stays on top of all the details, and would direct us as needed. She contacts the showing realtors for feedback and makes suggestions for improvements to help the sale, without being over the top expensive. We felt like she always was looking out for our best interest. Truly a blessed experience.

We are so fortunate to have found Kay Phillips to be our realtor when we were looking for a lake house. She helped us find the right neighborhood and tirelessly showed us home after home within that subdivision until we found our perfect retreat. We ended up in a bidding war but Kay expertly guided us with a strategy that not only helped us win but was still a great deal. To top it all off, Kay had countless recommendations for dining, shopping, and living in the area and we look forward to running into her again the future.

Even well before we were ready to list our house for sale Kay worked with us to do the things that we needed to do to get it ready for selling. When it came time to list our house Kay's expertise in staging really made our listing stand out and as a result we had a contract in 3 days. Kay is the consummate professional and worked closely with us throughout the entire process. Highly recommend Kay for any real estate related needs.

When we needed to sell our home on a tight schedule, we knew right away who we wanted to work with. Kay came highly recommended from friends of ours who had purchased a home in our area a handful of years prior. From start to finish, Kay always made us feel like we were her highest priority with her responsiveness, wisdom, resourcefulness, and charm.

Because our decision to move was relatively sudden, we knew we needed to put in some work to make our house appealing to a buyer. Kay met with us right away to do a preliminary walkthrough and help us learn what a buyer is going to be looking for. Because the extent of the renovations we needed were more than what we could handle on our own, Kay not only gave us a referral to a fantastic general contractor, but she kept in contact with him frequently while he worked in our home. We truly had an ally in Kay with regard to managing the process of getting our home ready to sell, which was particularly appreciated as we had already moved out of state so were not able to be on-site at our home.

When our house was ready to be listed, Kay expertly marketed our house by setting the right price, printing sleek booklets for the house, and through social media. We received the perfect offer within a couple weeks (which we accepted!) but it wasn’t over yet. We still had some items to remedy in the house, both from the buyers’ inspection, but also some last-minute items from the village’s occupancy inspection. So once again, Kay leveraged her relationship with our contractor to ensure everything was completed before our closing with time to spare.

I cannot say enough good things about our experience working with Kay, from her technical and marketing expertise, to her interpersonal skills, and just how she makes you feel good whenever you speak with her. I would highly recommend Kay Phillips to anyone buying or selling a home!

Kay works diligently to not only sell your property but also to find you the most appropriate new property that fits your guidelines. And in order to help sell your current property, her staging skills are second to none. We were selling two properties and purchasing one all at the same time.
