Ms. Kelly Klein
Dear Kelly:
Thank you for your assistance with my recent property purchase. You were referred to me by good friends who were extremely pleased and grateful for your help when they purchased their new home. They were impressed by your attention to details that they might not have considered, to both protect their interest and to save money. I wholeheartedly agree with their opinions!
I appreciate how much time, effort and importance you placed on my real estate search. Not being familiar with the area and living out of town, I was fortunate to rely on your guidance and expertise with a sense of trust that my requirements and interests were your highest priority in finding that perfect property.
In addition, your strong and positive network with related professionals and businesses (title insurance company, mortgage lender, surveryor) streamlined the process. You should know that you are held in high esteem by your peers, as I discovered during our association.
Kelly, you exceeded my expectations, and I hope to work with you again.
Sincerely,
Paula Smithson

From Fred ~
Last October my wife spent a weekend visiting a friend of hers who lives in the Riviera Beach area of Panama City Beach. When she got back home she felt like it was the sort of a spot that I would like and that there might be several good deals available in that areas' housing market. So, after a visit the following weekend and a lot of internet research, we randomly selected Kelly to help us on our quest for the best vacation home that our budget could handle. She could not have been any more accommodating. Her energetic, kind and pleasant, but professional manner turned what could have been a frustrating search into a fun adventure. As we hunted for our dream vacation home, she had all sorts of interesting lowdown on the area. She knows her stuff. The first weekend we had a few possibilities in sight. We made a couple of offers but they didn't pan out. Each day Kelly would E-mail us at our home near Atlanta any other possibilities as they came on the market. When we had a free weekend to search some more, Kelly was unable to be available. In spite of this she managed to have an associate of hers meet us anyway. She too was equally as accommodating. During the negotiation and closing phases of our purchase she was very helpful. Throughout the entire process, we really got the impression that she would do anything we requested. Can't say enough about her. We are very pleased. She even congratulated us with a smile and a bottle of wine the day we moved in!
From Mike and Michelle ~
Just so there are no doubts on this issue, we are most thankful for your efforts throughtout the buying process and especially during our last visit. You are the one who educated us about the market, gave us advice based on your experience and insights - even if you thought we might not want to hear it, helped us get it clear in our heads what was important to us when it came time to make tradeoffs, listened to what we were saying and then guided us to properties that met those criteria - as opposed to steering us toward properties that you might have had a personal preference for, and most importantly behaved in a way that was totally professional, with high personal integrity, and had a personal touch that made the overall experience enjoyable.
And lastly, you shepherded us through the offer and closing process - all the way down to making sure we got the keys to the condo.
All of the above are why would we without hestitation refer you to others that might be interested in investing in the Destin area. Michelle has already referred you to her step-mom. And I wouldn't be surprised if some of our friends take an interest after visiting us in Miramar Beach.

I forwarded your name and the work you've been doing for us to our son in Houston, Tx. He has some properties in Panama City Beach (Laguna Beach) that he wants to list before long. So, don't be surprised if you get a call or email from them.
Thanks again,

Kelly, I wanted to Thank You for all your help on the purchase of my house. As an out of town owner I had a lot of concerns about inspections, closing, and overall how to do this from another state. You made things happen; were well organized and knew what you were doing. I will certainly recommend you to friends and acquaintances in the future.

May 2015 Hi Kelly. Well, we are on day 3 in our new condo and loving it to death. It is even better then the pictures/video and your FaceTime we relied on. And we are blessed the Degans were super nice people. They left several beach chairs, a large cooler and all kinds of neat things here. With my back I am always worried about the bed but, here again, they bought quality and it is great! We are very, very happy and lucky. |

Hi Kelly, Thank you so much for the information that you have sent thus far. Your information and email style is both helpful and extremely professional - thank you. The past weekend, my husband and I have purchased two waterfront lots in SC so, at this time, we will not pursue any more real estate opportunities. We have a lot of friends and family that we will refer them to you. Hopefully, within the next year and a half, we will be ready for pre-sale opportunities in Florida. Again, thank you so much for your time, energy and professionalism. |

06/23/2011 “Kelly did an amazing job as our agent. It was the first time we used a buyer’s agent and she immediately made us comfortable with her knowledge of the area, the market and our desire for a vacation condo. We live in Atlanta and on our first visit to Destin she laid out an entire day to view properties. She showed us a range of locations in our price range and was extremely knowledgeable about each property. As the day progressed, she learned more about us and was able to come up with ideas that we hadn’t considered. We didn’t buy that weekend, but based on her knowledge of us and the area, we selected a unit having only seen the video she sent. She guided us through the process and we got a superbly located unit for the price we offered. I would highly recommend Kelly to anyone trying to shop and buy remotely.” |

Kelly Klein Sold Mine, and we are truly happy that she did. We live in Illinois and decided to purchase a second home in the Destin area. We found Kelly through a referral service for buyers agents and she is the best real estate agent we have ever worked with. Kelly is very knowledgable, communicates well and has a great personality. She quickly determined what we were looking for and which area would best suit our desires. We were unsuccessful in making a purchase during our visit to the Destin area but we continued to search the MLS listings from Illinois. We had such great rapport with Kelly that we made an offer on a home based solely on the video tape tour she made for us and her opinion about the property and its location. We saw the home in person after closing and are very pleased with our purchase. We highly recommend anyone interested in property in the Destin area work with Kelly Klein of Lifeguard Real Estate, Inc. Dan and Karyn Terpstra |

Dear Kelly, I would like to thank you for everything you did for us. I appreciate very much for your help. I didn’t know you before, after Todd introduced you to me and my family, I found it out that you are a very nice, honest, straight, and hard-work lady, and always stands by your customers/clients side. You don’t look at sales and money, but your customers/clients. I had agents before, they were not like you. They didn’t stand by my side, but sales and money. Wendy |

03/23/2010 I could say a bunch of flowery things about Kelly Klein and her wonderfully comfortable personality, how she's a go-getter, how she knows the ins and outs of Real Estate, and she knows how to get things accomplished with professionalism and positive energy. But, you will find all these things out within the first five minutes that you meet her. Kelly Klein found me a magnificent home. She did it quickly. She negotiated efficiently and effectively. I always felt well informed and up to date on the what was happening despite the fact that it was a short sale which can become complicated and drawn-out. I always felt she had my best interests in mind. In the end I have a beautiful home all thanks to Kelly Klein who I would recommend to anybody. Sincerely -Ben Friedman |

02/10/2010 Dear Kelly, Thanks for all your help in helping Joyce and me buy a vacation home. You have been extremely patient in working with us to find the right property. As we went through the process of making multiple offer, we were glad to have you represent our interests. You are the hardest working real estate agent I have met - you were responding to emails and phone calls immediately and following up on the smallest detail.You network of mortgage brokers, painters, home furnishing companies, etc. was a great for us, since we had to get all of this done from Atlanta. Your use of technology is awesome and simplifies several things - especially the flip videos! It has been a real pleasure working with you, and we will recommend you to friends anytime. |

Dear Kelly, You were absolutely fantastic! Thank you for an outstanding job in helping me with my purchase in Destin. I was amazed by your great customer service skills and knowledge of the real estate market. As you know, I previously had a bad experience with a Realtor in Destin and had a lot of trepidation about using another one. However, I was so pleased that I found you. Your attention to detail and prompt responses to my needs helped me close this deal in just 8 days! |
