TESTIMONIALS

See what Kelly Zaccaro's clients have to say.

" We were casually looking for a house in Rumson when we met Kelly at an open house. Previously, we had met several realtors at other open houses, but none of them followed through with recommendations or showings of potential properties. Kelly did and was knowledgeable, responsive and an all together wonderful person. Between she and her assistant Christine, they were always available when we needed them to be....from start to finish. We found that home we were looking for in a very short time and we were thrilled with our experience. Not one problem arose and when we needed information such as reputable businesses which would provide services, they were there to help us. I highly recommend Kelly and her team and would definitely work with her again."
– Stephanie W.
"Kelly was truly fantastic in helping us to find a phenomenal home & walking us through the process. Both she & Christine helped connect us to contractors, representatives at the town, and anyone that we needed to help us along the way. It was a very smooth and supportive transaction & by the end of it Kelly & Christine felt more like friends than anything else! I would highly recommend their services."
– Melissa D.
" We recently sold, purchased and moved into our new home in a matter of weeks. I honestly can say this would not have happened without Kelly and Christine. Kelly is an experienced Realtor and knows the market. They guided through the process with ease. Staged our home to make it more appealing to buyers. They recommended painters, floor companies, etc to make our new home ours. We would highly recommend Kelly for your future real estate needs."
– Lynne & Brian B.
"I highly recommend Kelly for anyone buying or selling a home in the NJ/NY area. Kelly was friendly and professional and provided great advice in an unusual housing market. She made the process easy and was a great communicator. She priced our home spot on and we received a full price offer!"
– Megan H.
"Call Kelly Zaccaro." This simple advice from a friend has brought so much joy to my life and I'm happy to share the same advice with you. My wife and I recently worked with Kelly to purchase our family's first home in Monmouth County (Little Silver). We started working with Kelly in February 2021, in the midst of New Jersey's skyrocketing residential real estate market. Kelly and her equally exceptional colleague Christine Moore helped us navigate the market madness to find our dream home. Throughout the process, Kelly was everything we could have hoped for. Kelly was accessible and responsive. Even though she was working with several buyers and sellers at the time, she made us feel like we were her only clients. Kelly is well-connected and well-regarded among her Monmouth County real estate peers. For almost ever house we viewed, Kelly either knew the sellers agent well or had previously toured the home when it was last on the market. Kelly was also very discerning. She asked us the right questions and quickly sensed the types of homes we would like. This allowed her to filter the listings she recommended for what she thought we would like rather than just throwing everything our way. And Kelly was a problem solver. In a market where all cash, no contingency, quick close offers were being made sight unseen, Kelly knew the market and helped us craft offer terms that could compete with (and beat) no strings offers. All of these attributes make Kelly an exceptional real estate agent. But I would be remiss if I didn't mention that Kelly and her colleague Christine also played the roles of architect (advising us on renovations that would be possible/necessary for each home), interior designer (helping us to imagine how certain houses would or wouldn't work for our family of five), and MOST IMPORTANTLY psychotherapist (talking us through the heartbreak of getting outbid on "perfect" houses and keeping us engaged when we wanted to quit looking amid the market craziness). I'm happy to share some of best advice I've ever received. If you're considering buying or selling in Monmouth County -- Call Kelly Zaccaro.

Let me start by saying Kelly is fantastic! She's not just a fantastic realtor but a fantastic person all around. She is focused on and committed to your best interest - not hers. My wife and I reached out to Kelly initially to inquire about listing our home in order to purchase a new property we had in mind. From the start, Kelly was warm and personable, informative and professional. You could tell right away that she knew how to work with people and she knew her business. Ours is a bit of a funny story, seeing as how we ended up staying in our home, through Kelly's help in opening our eyes to what we had and what our home had cleaned up to be through all of our prep on the path to listing it. We had to de-clutter, paint, clean, fix up a few things, but mainly it was a lot of elbow grease and getting rid of "stuff" that had been sitting around for years. Kelly was right there any time we had questions, needed her to take a look and give us her opinion on what to do, contractor references to help us with things like painting, deck repair, etc. She guided us through this whole process, one that we thought would only take a week but ended up stretching out almost two months due to all the work that was actually needed. She was always patient with us and honest. As we began to see how much beauty we had uncovered in our home with the cleaning, de-cluttering, and fixing, the more we felt that perhaps this is where we should stay after all. When we discussed this with Kelly she was completely supportive and understanding. She was never pressuring or dissuasive, only informative and supportive towards our needs. As she told us, her job isn't about the one sale, it's about the relationship and how she can help not just now but in the future. I can say without any doubt that my wife and I would reach out to Kelly in a heartbeat if and when we ever do choose to buy or sell and we would recommend her without question to anyone needing an outstanding realtor. She's someone you can trust and rely upon who will have your best interests in mind at all times.

Kelly and her incredible team were truly the critical factor in our successful real estate purchase. The market is insane right now with every house receiving multiple offers well over list price. Kelly and her team created a brilliant, creative offer strategy that allowed us to be comfortable with the process while also being extremely attractive to the seller. This strategy is the reason we won our home. That was just the beginning! They completely nurtured us throughout the rest of the transaction and were there every step of the way. Kelly and her team put our needs first and the care they took with us was evident every day. If you're considering a move, you would be well served by working with Kelly and her team as your real estate advocate and advisor. Without Kelly and her team, I know we would not have been able to secure the perfect home for our family. Thank you so much!

Kelly is a consummate real estate professional, and we give her our highest recommendation, having worked with her as both a home buyer and a seller. Importantly, Kelly knows her market and helps sellers and buyers price their homes / bid on a home appropriately and competitively.  She also offers valuable advice in terms of staging a home and knows how to present it its most attractive light.  Further, Kelly is well known and liked among the brokerage community, which is helpful when negotiating a deal. I believe Kelly is so successful because she is up to date on her market, takes the time to get to know her clients, and she is very likable, responsive, and trustworthy. It is an absolute pleasure to work with Kelly and her team. Buying and selling a home is often the largest financial transaction individuals engage in. Such a critical transaction requires a knowledgeable, talented professional at the helm. Kelly is the person we trust in this role and we give her our highest recommendation for both buying and selling a home.
– Sarah O. - Rumson/Middletown, NJ
Excellent agent. We’ve bought and sold many homes over the years and Kelly was by far the best agent we have ever used. Responsive and resourceful and well versed in the art of selling real estate. Highly recommend.
– Glenn G. - Little Silver/Point Pleasant Beach, NJ
Kelly Zaccaro was a 5-star agent. She prioritized our home and gave us full service guidance. We felt confident with the sale of our home in her hands. Kelly provided great advice through out the process and we were pleased with the outcome and sale of our home in just 3 days!
– LB K.
Kelly was the best. Every other realtor we encountered when seeing houses would literally say "Oh you're working with Kelly - she's the best." She knew everything about the local schools, towns, taxes, property laws, etc. and anything she wasn't sure about, we had info on within the day. When we asked her to go out to see seven houses in January's blizzard, she was in, no questions asked. As a first time home buyer, I couldn't have asked for a better and more professional person to work with. We will miss her when this process is over.
– Danridge G. - Little Silver, NJ
We worked with Kelly on buying and selling our homes. She was wonderful to work with, honest, and very knowledgeable. She really showed her strength when it came to getting top dollar from our home sale. I highly recommend working with Kelly.
– Kerry P
Kelly is an amazing realtor: she is savvy, experienced and incredibly knowledgeable about every aspect of the real estate market for buying and selling your home. It was a true pleasure to work with her — and along with her assistant Christina they do a brilliant job of staging your home so that it will show at its very best. I couldn’t recommend her services any higher! - Julie M. 9/1/2021
– Julie M.
Kelly is a consummate professional who guided us smoothly through some unexpected complications. She gave us perfect advice, and created a trusting partnership that brought us to a successful sale of our home. Not only will we go straight to Kelly for our future real estate needs, but we will recommend her to anyone in our lives with similar needs. Best of all, we now are happy to call Kelly our friend....an awesome outcome.
– Sue D. - Rumson
Kelly has exceptional knowledge of local real estate. She was able to patiently & clearly explain all of the details to selling a house & inspire me to quickly become seriously focused on selling my late parents' home in the short window of prime time selling. Always accessible, always enthusiastic, always organized & on top of details, she quickly listed the house; & it sold above the asking price in one day! She worked with me every step of the way to ready the house for the closing, organizing me as to how to efficiently find personnel to help me empty the house & even finding me a handy man & letting him into the house to install the necessary smoke detectors & fire extinguishers. She was priceless!
– Susan S. - Little Silver, NJ
Kelly has been our agent for over two years both selling our home and helping us buy a new home. She has unparalleled local experience and insight into the market. She truly guides you through the home sale experience with compassion and attention to detail - always being reachable on phone or text for assistance about any aspect of the home sale/buying process. We would highly recommend her to anyone wanting a personalized experience from the best in the business!
– Lauren C. - Fair Haven, NJ
Kelly and Christine were both excellent to work with! I highly recommend them. They went above and beyond helping us through both the selling and buying process.
– Maggie L. - Fair Haven, NJ
We had an amazing experience working with Kelly to buy our first home. We knew virtually nothing about the process, and she patiently walked us through everything we needed to know while also providing useful resources. We appreciated how straightforward Kelly was in letting us know the pros and cons of different options and the ways she helped us envision our lives in different spaces. Lastly, Kelly made our out of town transition from Jersey City seamless as she helped us understand the different neighborhoods in Red Bank, offered to do virtual home tours, and helped us navigate local systems and vendor options. We would highly recommend Kelly and her team to anyone looking for a home in the area!
– Brian R. - Red Bank, NJ
Kelly always had our backs! She was there from staging the home we were selling to helping us find the perfect home. She was instrumental in coordinating the purchase and sale on the same day. Easy to work with, knowledgeable and always available to hear our concerns. Thank you Kelly!
– Maritza A - Middletown, NJ
Kelly is very professional, knowledgeable and experienced. She and her team work very hard to get things done. She doesn’t get rattled and can be a real calming influence when things don’t go as planned. She is excellent at discussion and negotiation without being overbearing. I highly recommend her.
– Kathy W - Lincroft Middletown, NJ
Kelly was absolutely wonderful to work with. We used her to buy our first home in the area and could not have been more impressed with her responsiveness, professionalism, and overall knowledge of the community/properties.  Despite growing up in New Jersey my entire life, when it came to buying my first home, there was so much more to the process (and so many nuances) that Kelly worked patiently with us to educate us on. It was truly great to work with someone who we really felt had our best interest in mind as the buyer. And, as Kelly is also a native of the towns we were looking in, she was incredibly helpful with info on logistical matters, like schools, taxes, etc. Basically anything we asked her she helped us find an answer to.  With every house we saw with her (and we saw a lot!) she gave us very real, honest opinions both positive and negative about each listing, and always made sure we had all of the information we needed to feel good about purchasing a home. In the end, I think she knew which house we were going to purchase before we even did! We would highly recommend Kelly to anyone looking to buy a home, whether it's your first or fifth. She knows her stuff and is absolutely amazing!

We had gone through 3 other brokers to sell our home. Kelly was recommended by a friend and we figured we had nothing to lose so let's give her a shot. From the beginning there was a steady flow of communication. We lived in an area affected by Sandy. Though our home didn't get flooded due to being built above Federal Emergency Management Agency's numbers people were afraid to move into our town at the time. Kelly learned that you could apply with Federal Emergency Management Agency to have your homes flood status evaluated. It was because of Kelly that our structure was taken off the flood map therefor insurance rates would not only not go up they were then lowered to next to nothing. Within 2 weeks of getting this new status she sold our home! With new visions of a new home she worked hard to find the right one for us. Many times working after hours we are looking to close on our new home in the next couple weeks. We highly recommend Kelly if you want a team player and not just someone looking for a commission.
– Matt B. Holmdel, NJ
Kelly was a pleasure to work with. Due to Super Storm Sandy I experienced numerous problems with the selling of my house. Kelly was able to work through them all of them and at the same time manage my stress level. Kelly is always available and immediately follows through with any request. Every client is treated as if they are the only one. No client would know just how busy she truly is. Her knowledge of the area and resources is outstanding. Equally as important is how enjoyable she was to work with. She is just a great person.
– Priscilla J. - Oceanport, NJ
Kelly is an excellent realtor who helped us to buy and now sell our home. She is conscientious, and really knows the eastern Monmouth County or peninsula area inside and out (especially in terms of pricing, availability, location, and desirability) she always does her homework. Kelly is thoughtful, honest, and tactful in all of her dealings. I have complete trust and faith in her abilities and truly enjoy working with her. I would recommend her highly for anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
– Julie M. - Long Branch, NJ
We are writing to let you know that we had such a wonderful experience working with Kelly Zaccaro from your Rumson office. My husband and I recently sold a home in Fair Haven and Kelly was our agent. Kelly exceeded our expectations in every way possible! We will refer anyone we know who is looking to buy or sell a home to Kelly Zaccaro. She represents your company in a most outstanding way! Kelly truly is an asset.
– Tom & Marie S. - Fair Haven, NJ
Kelly is very knowledgeable about the real estate trends in the area. We had a complicated transaction with a bank owned property so the process was not the norm. She was very available and supportive throughout the process, although it was tough for everyone to navigate. I would recommend Kelly for either buying or selling. Kelly was instrumental in getting our house sold in 3 days, with multiple offers.
– Rebecca P. - Fair Haven, NJ
Kelly you were great! Sold our beach shack, found our peaceful home, sold that one and found my quaint little place in Fair Haven and Doug’s new place. All in the time we needed! One never knows when I will need your expertise (maybe sooner than later). Until that time, I happily and highly recommend you as realtor.
– Jennifer M. - Fair Haven, NJ
Kelly was patient, organized and professional in every step of the way in selling our home. She has ample experience as a realtor and thoroughly understands the factors influencing the market. She listens to her client’s needs and wants but will also always convey her honest professional opinion. Highly recommend.
– Eun-Young T. - Little Silver, NJ
Kelly is the consummate professional, asking all the right questions and having most of the answers. We were delighted with our service. Kelly worked well with everyone else involved in our transaction, handled multiple bids with great integrity, and followed up through closing every time an issue arose.
– Michael W. - Rumson, NJ
Best Broker we’ve ever had! Have already and will continue to recommend her across the board! Just a truly excellent experience! Kelly Zaccaro is the best realtor we have ever worked with. She's so nice and easy to work with, and really gets the job done.

– Kathy H. - Rumson, NJ
We had another excellent experience working with Kelly. We have now purchased two homes and sold one with her. Would definitely use her as our realtor again and highly recommend her to family and friends.
– Kevin & Melissa L. - Rumson, NJ
We were very pleased with Kelly and her suggestions to fix certain items in the house rather than just lowering the price. She was very thoughtful, knowledgeable and professional throughout this process.
– Mario & Onalie G. - Middletown, NJ
Kelly was extremely professional, very easy to reach and was able to complete the sale of my home despite several obstacles along the way. We couldn’t be happier and would absolutely recommend Kelly.
– Timothy B.
We have worked with Kelly on 4 transactions and had extremely positive experiences each time. She is knowledgeable, responsive and willing to work hard.
