Fantastic experience: Kelsey is the best!! She is so knowledgeable, responsive, great attitude, and overall a pleasure to spend our home buying experience with! We’re already recommending her to our friends and family, and would love to work with her again in the future!

Jesse R Published on Google

Negative experience: Doesn’t matter if you call them on a Monday or a Friday or a Saturday or Sunday. which I’ve done all the above they DO NOT answer the phone. They claim to be great realtors but great realtors ANSWER the phone. I gladly found an awesome one named Matt who ANSWERS the phone anytime you call or text. Don’t waste your time with these people they obviously have enough money they don’t care about clients nor selling properties they have listed. They lost out on selling my house (which sold within the first week it was listed had multiple offers) they coulda made fast easy money.. and then again coulda made easy money on me buying my next house. Avoid these people, Good luck to them!

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Kelsey and Kistle Realty enough! Although my property hunt definitely took a minute, it was SO worth the wait. We were looking for a true unicorn, a property that could meet both my personal and business needs, with the right mix of residential and commercial possibilities, and due to diligence and persistence, we found it. It checked every box and then some. What really stood out was Kelsey’s willingness to think outside the box throughout the entire process. Finding the right property took creativity, patience, and persistence, and she was there through all of it. Kistle Realty is also a family-owned business, and you genuinely feel that difference. They care about their clients, treat you like family, and the relationship doesn’t end at closing. Kelsey continues to check in and recommend trusted local contractors, services, and homeowner resources whenever I need them. Highly recommend Kelsey and the entire Kistle Realty team!

Barb Lamont Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Great experience selling and buying through this family owned business. Kelsey knows the business very well. She sold my house quickly and even got $28,000 more than the ask. She is a good negotiator, easy to work with. She listened to my requests and always stayed on target. She had all the contacts needed for closings. She took all the work on herself making it less stressful for me. I highly recommend Kelsey to help sell or buy a house for you.

Fantastic experience: Franny deserves 10 ⭐️’s! She listened to our likes and dislikes and made sure we didn’t just settle and helped us find our forever home. She went above and beyond to help us every step of the way. We are truly grateful for her dedication and hard work! Highly recommend Franny!

Carmelina Stolzenberg Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Franny is truly in a league of her own, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have had her by our side during our journey as first-time homebuyers. We were naturally a bit overwhelmed, but she navigated the entire process with so much passion and strategic "know-how" that we always felt a step ahead. She didn't just know the market inside and out; she was a fierce advocate for us, especially when it came to the tiny details of the grant program and making our offers stand out. What we loved most were the personal touches she brought to every meeting, making what could have been a stressful season feel like a series of celebrated milestones. We are so grateful for her heart and her hustle, and we honestly can’t imagine having done this with anyone else!

Erin Post Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Working with Kelsey was a great experience from start to finish.

Tina Yerdon Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Kelsey was fantastic. Her knowledge about each property we visited was incredible and she pointed out the smallest details for us to pay attention to when we visited each home. She knew exactly the right questions to ask and how to set us up in the best position possible to find our house! 100% recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a new home! They truly are the best.

Mila Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Working with Franny was an incredible experience from start to finish. She guided us every step of the way — helping us prepare and set up our former home, finding the right buyer, and then helping us secure a beautiful new home to move into. She was always available to answer our questions, even late at night, and her knowledge of the market and the entire process truly put us at ease. We eagerly wanted to move before Christmas, and she helped facilate that. Her professionalism, patience, and dedication made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and well-managed. We couldn’t have done it without her and highly recommend Franny to anyone looking to buy or sell a home! ~Mila & Liz

Cindylu Fitzpatrick Published on Google

Franny listened to my wants & needs and we found my dream home, my forever home. Her positive & calm nature, knowledge, communication, organization, perseverance & patience are beyond description. And, if you're using AnnieMac Franny is your agent. She knows the process inside & out. She is the best in the business!!!!

Gina Aronne Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Franny is a blessing! She made us feel very comfortable and well cared for in every step of the way. I simply have nothing negative to say. On the contrary, Franny made this journey less stressful and less complicated, I value her communication skills and genuine service. She’s detail oriented and very knowledgeable on the field. My husband and I worked with real estate agents in the past and she definitely raised the bar. I will be working with Franny in the future no doubt, she’s family now.

Tanker Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Franny Latawiec was incredible to work with from start to finish. She is highly knowledgeable, honest, and extremely patient. It was evident from our first conversation that she enjoys her work and that she keeps her client's best interests a priority. Her responses to my messages were prompt and she always took to the time to explain any questions that I asked. My expectations were far surpassed and I would recommend Franny to anyone.

Trevor Brummer Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough about how amazing working with Kistle Realty was! Our realtor was Franny Lataweic. She was extremely personable, knowledgeable, confident, forthcoming and professional. She was always one step ahead of the game, letting us know what to expect next. She was also extremely responsive, which was very important to my Wife and I being first time home buyers. She helped us navigate this confusing process with ease. She was everything we could’ve wanted as a realtor and more! Kelsey Kistle came out to meet me at a last minute inspection and she was great too! I would recommend Franny and Kistle Realty to anyone I come across that is buying a house.

Negative experience: Stop spreading your mail advertising and spamming people.

Hi Anna. Please let us know your address so we can remove you from our mailing list. Also, most of our mailers go through what’s called EDDM from the post office which is not a list created by us. If you no longer want mailings, you have to go to the post office and ask to be removed from the EDDM list. That is unfortunately out of our control. I hope this is helpful. Wishing you all the best!!

Alfonso Dehesa Published on Google

Fantastic experience: You know when you’re buying a house and everyone says, “Make sure you have the best on your team”—and you think, “Yeah, but where am I really going to find someone that good?” Well, look no further. Kelsey is THAT good. She’s on top of every detail, resourceful, smart, and incredibly knowledgeable. She’s available day and night, and she goes above and beyond to make sure you find the right house for you. She never pushes you toward a property just to make a sale: in fact, she’ll tell you flat out if a house isn’t right. Kelsey is truly on your team, not just trying to close a deal. She’s one in a million.

Brett Magura Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Kistle Realty is the best real estate team in the area! Kelsey was fantastic to work with; her knowledge and expertise helped make the whole process simple!

Mark Apgar Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Had a great experience working with Franny and the kistle realty team. I highly recommend.

Liz Davis Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I had the great fortune of being referred to the Kistle Realty Team 3 years ago and give Jeff Kistle, Debbie, Kelsey and Melissa our very highest recommendation. We worked with this team for the daunting task of finding a lakefront house in a challenging market. I am an active real estate agent for 19 years and was a discerning buyer with a long list of things we needed. I know how hard I work for my clients and expected the same. The team exceeded our expectations (and then some). They are the local experts, a well-known thing. But beyond the stats, they were patient, responsive and fantastic negotiators. Never once did I feel pressured and always felt they had our best interest at hand. We worked with the whole Kistle family in the search process and other team members joined in to help us through the many steps to get to the closing. They continue to offer us guidance and recommendations as we undergo renovation. I wholeheartedly recommend the Kistle team, and my family is forever grateful to them for finding us our dream home on Culver Lake.

Michelle Aromando Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of working with Kelsey Kistle at Kistle Realty to sell my house, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! From the very beginning, Kelsey demonstrated exceptional communication skills, keeping me informed every step of the way. She was always available to answer my questions and provide valuable insights that helped ease the selling process. What impressed me the most was her tenacity as a negotiator. Kelsey fought hard to secure the best possible deal for my property, always with my best interests in mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about achieving a positive outcome for me, and her dedication made all the difference. If you’re looking for a real estate agent who will go above and beyond, look no further than Kelsey Kistle. Her professionalism, knowledge, and personal touch truly set her apart. Thank you, Kelsey, for making this experience so smooth and successful!

Kimora John Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Franny Lataweic just helped us closed on our first home, her dedication to her clients is beyond amazing. If you are serious about closing and need a dedicated agent by your side, Franny is the agent you need. She is knowledgeable, patient, kind and persistent, she looks out for her client's best interest all the time. Would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a dedicated agent. Plus she left us some thoughtful perks when we closed, truly appreciate her.

Fantastic experience: We’re so thankful for what a go-getter Kelsey is! She’s easy to communicate with and extremely personable! She made the tedious process of closing on a house so easy for us, and went above and beyond in every capacity; including a sweet welcome basket for our new home with toys for our son and a little something for baby on the way. Thank you for everything, Kelsey!

Fantastic experience: Want to highly recommend Franny Latawiec! She was so helpful and patient throughout our home buying process. She was so positive and supportive! She is friendly, a great communicator and just all around wonderful person! She even got presents for the family after the whole process!! She went above and beyond to help find us the most wonderful home, more than we could have ever dreamed! Can’t thank you enough Franny!!

Stephanie Aromando Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Kelsey Kistle enough! She has gone truly above and beyond for my family. Kelsey sold a family home for us in 2021 as a seller's agent, making the process as smooth as possible. Currently, she’s working on another listing for us, and her dedication remains outstanding. As a buyer's agent, Kelsey was incredibly accessible and always put our needs first. She advocated for us during negotiations with such professionalism and commitment that we felt completely supported and trusted her instincts throughout the process. The entire Kistle Realty agency is fantastic, creating a warm and welcoming environment that truly makes you feel like family. If you're looking for a real estate agent who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about her clients, Kelsey is the one to call!

Michael Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I came here looking to move and find a place to rent. I met Franny and discussed what I am looking for and details on a place. She was excellent, great communication, knowledgeable, and such a great person. I know nothing about the real estate business which she helped walk me through the process and eased any worries. I would not have been able to make this happen without her! Thank you so much and will recommend Franny and Kistle Realty to others.

John Jr Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Kistle Realty was a pleasure to work with selling our home. Debbie and Jeff had a great sales strategy and we ended up getting multiple offers and sold far above our expectations! We also had an unexpected hiccup with a failed septic system inspection and Jeff helped us out tremendously walking us through it as well as helping secure an excellent contractor to get the job done efficiently and timely. We would recommend Kistle Realty to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home.

Angela Kelly Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Franny Latawiec is the best! She was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in our first home purchase. She is a pleasure to work with

Scott Schwemmer Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Kelsey Kistle was a pleasure to work with. Not only is she professional and knowledgeable, she's a great person. Very trustworthy. For months she helped my family search for a waterfront property in New Jersey. However, the lean market forced us to consider other states and we bought a house outside of New Jersey. Kelsey was always on point and somehow maintained her sweet disposition despite encountering some stressful situations. I highly recommend her.

Tim Fornara Published on Google

Fantastic experience: We needed an excellent short-term renter quickly for our furnished lakehouse. Kelsey just nailed it and it so quickly. She was super communicative and helpful. We love our tenants, and we are 100% going to work with Kelsey again.

Jenny Wisniewski Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Kelsey has truly been an amazing rockstar throughout our home buying process! She was very responsive with any questions and was flexible when trying to choose times for house showings. Whenever we went to see a place, she could immediately tell you everything about the home/space and town. With her phenomenal knowledge, she has a great eye for what to look for whether good or bad. From flooring/cabinetry, HOA relations, water heaters/pumps, ventilations in attics, etc. You name it and she knows the answer, including the difference between a cheap home reno or something of good quality that will last. This was super helpful to us with it being our first time purchasing a home. Also, if a place didn't seem right for us, she never made it feel like we were wasting her time. We are very grateful with the entire process and are so thrilled about our new townhome!!

Janet Woudenberg Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I frankly don't have adequate words to describe Franny's dedication and determination to all she did to be sure I was able to get a contract, then close on my house. Any issue at all, she was right on top of it. She never encountered my type of mtg before, but she learned it quickly and was on top of the lenders, then on top of the closing and she overcame obstacles that sometimes seemed insurmountable. I will forever be grateful to her. She's definitely the agent to use.

Sharon Burke Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Kelsey was absolutely amazing through the home sale process & when the time comes I will definitely call on her to help me with my home buying process! My sale was a divorce sale situation. Divorce can be a devastating & difficult time & her patience, empathy & compassion went above & beyond. Kelsey Kistle is a boss lady & I am so proud of her! She steps up to the plate & does what needs to be done to get it done! I highly recommend her!!

Gjon Lulgjuraj Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Franny is amazing! She truly went above and beyond for her us! We loved working with her to purchase our home. Franny is knowledgable and very dedicated to her craft and was always there to answer any questions we had (no matter if she was on vacation or not lol). We will definitely work with her again in the future and recommend her to friends and family!

Robert Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Kelsey helped us find our DREAM home! She worked day and night and any time I had a question (which was often), she would answer me within an hour. She was phenomenal to work with and I couldn’t recommend her more!

A Shilley Published on Google

Fantastic experience: First and foremost - this team is amazing to work with! My family was moving from out of state and needed someone who was willing to work hard to place us in the right spot. After a phone conversation with the Jeff and Debbie to get an understanding of what we were looking for, we got to work with Kelsey - She was incredible. Kelsey was a workhorse and went above and beyond throughout the entire process of purchasing a home. She took notes throughout each showing, helped us narrow down our search areas based on family needs, and sent endless listings that met our criteria and weeded through the listings that didn't. Kelsey was clearly passionate about helping us find the right home - she was candid about her impressions and openly discussed likes/dislikes & pros/cons of each property based on her understanding of our needs and desires. Throughout the process I felt like we were truly a team and Kelsey had our best interests in mind. We bought during the 'crazy market' but Kelsey remained positive and we ended up exactly where we needed to be. Kelsey (and the Kistle team) are who you want to walk you through this process.

Barbara Knowles Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Jeff, Debbie and Kelsey are the very best real estate team. They go beyond any expectations you might have. Together, they made a stressful and confusing process easy to navigate. They stand by their customers from the beginning to the very last steps of selling and buying. Use the Kistle team with confidence for a job well done.

Fantastic experience: We worked with Danielle C. She was great!, was prompt to respond to our calls, texts, and emails and did an overall great job at securing the property for us.

Patricia Sternberg Published on Google

Positive experience: Danielle is currently helping our daughter find a home. She is prompt and couteous. She is always willing to show homes we're interested in quickly.

John Sharlow Published on Google

Negative experience: When asked to be removed from their mailing list was told I was but that from time to time o would still get mailings. When I stopped by the office to again ask to be removed from their mailing list their daughter freaked out on me and called the police. The police told me that the mailing’s would stop after 2 more. That was a lie I am still getting. One simple call to their contractor that does the mailings would end me from dealing with their trash Sorry people

Stephanie Cappadora Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Kistle Realty to anyone looking to buy or sell their home! We were first time home sellers, and Kelsey made the process so easy - she went above and beyond to make it as stress free as possible and was super responsive to all of our questions. We had such a great experience, we are using Kelsey to buy our next home as well!

Barbara MacDonald Published on Google

Fantastic experience: When it comes to real estate agents, Deb and Jeff stand head and shoulders above the rest. I've bought and sold many homes over the years and can say without reservation that NO ONE can compare to the service, professionalism and decency of the Kistle team. Jeff went above and beyond in supporting me during this very emotional experience. They marketed my home extensively and sold it for far more than I could ever imagine. And support did not stop there. Jeff assisted me with every aspect of the selling process and even now, when I have already moved to my new home in a distant state, continue to check in on me and offer assistance should I need it. I've worked with the big name companies with disappointing results. Without Jeff and Deb, I could never have gotten through this move. When it's time to buy or sell, you can choose Kistle Realty with the assurance that you have chosen the best.

Mike Brannigan Published on Google

Rob Mabli Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Debbie and Jeff are just awesome at what they do. We met with them months before we put our house on the market -- just as soon as we started thinking about selling. Thank goodness we did that. This wasn't our first home sale and we were dreading the process: the showings, negotiations, inspections, repairs, and more inspections. The Kistles took care of absolutely everything and they stayed in constant contact while having a reasonable solution to every hurdle we encountered.

Thank you sir! It was our pleasure to help you!

Kyana Published on Google

Fantastic experience: We contacted Kistle Realty about a house we were interested in buying. Jeff showed us the house then referred us to another realtor name Karina that worked for him and his wife. Karina was wonderful, responded within minutes, set up last minute showings, and never rushed us. She was patient, showed us at least 10 homes, and didn't complain a single time. (Although with how picky we were being I am sure she wanted to lol) We found our dream home with her and we are so grateful to have found her and Kistle!

Barbara Longatreet Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I was a First time homebuyer and was referred to Kistle Realty. I couldn't have picked a better realtor.
