Abi knows that home is different to each of us – what matters is personal, it’s individual. Home is a place that sets you free to do more of what matters to you. Having navigated the market with her clients for nearly 20 years, Abi truly enjoys getting to know each one on a personal level, and her clients trust in her market knowledge, skills, and expertise to successfully advise them with one of life’s biggest investments – their home.
With an award-winning design and marketing background and the inherent knowledge of a 4th-generation realtor, Abi’s unique skillset elevates her offering and ability to serve her clients. For her buyers, she combines deep market knowledge and 5-star customer service skills with her keen eye for design to help them see and implement a vision for a home. Abi’s extensive marketing and design skills bring more visibility to her sellers’ listings given them a huge leg up on their competition. She also adds value by helping stage and design her listings to appeal to today’s discerning buyers. This is most likely why her average list-to-sales price is 99.1% and days on the market is more than four times shorter than the average agent.
Abi has aligned herself with The Westhoff Group, an award-winning and top-producing team that has over half of a billion dollars in sales. The Westhoff Group is part of Compass, the #1 independent brokerage in the United States. Compass offers its buyers and sellers unique tools and state-of-the-art technology, giving them an advantage over their competition.
In Abi’s words:
How do I do real estate differently?
• By listening to more than what you say…by hearing what you mean.
• By knowing the city, yet loving that there is always more to discover. Particularly through your eyes.
• By studying the housing market daily and knowing the forces at play behind one of the most integral drivers of the economy – real estate.
• By knowing you get more with honey than vinegar…but that doesn’t mean I’m not a force to be reckoned with!
Reach out and say hi. I’d love to know more about what matters to you and how I can help you get there!
Abigail Kelly was an absolutely godsend on our home buying journey. She went above and beyond to schedule showings during evenings and weekends to accommodate our ever changing schedules. We had our (then) 1yr old in tow during each and every showing. It's no surprise that they became fast friends. This was our first home purchase and she walked us through a very comprehensive step by step plan as to what we should expect. She put our minds at ease during the biggest and most important purchase of our lives and was always a quick phone call away whenever we had any questions. Trust me, we had plenty. We are so unbelievably happy in our new home and we never would have made it without her help. Abi Rules!
Abby is the best!!!! She is so knowledgeable about the market, area (Lincoln Square, North Center, Ravenswood, etc). What really sets Abby apart is that she truly cares about her clients’ needs and wants. She listens carefully and asks great questions. It’s all about finding happiness for her clients. She also has great ideas, contacts and trusted friends for interior design help and recommendations. You feel like you’re working with a trusted friend of many years when you are with Abby.
Let’s start with me knowing Abi for more than a decade. When we moved across states from Chicago to Georgia, we still called Abi for her wealth of knowledge about all kinds of confusing things for home-buying in a different state and how to take advantage of opportunities, like our first swimming pool! She never failed to give us valuable advice and help us avoid potential hazards and hurdles. Abi’s skillset, or skillsets, plural, are awesome to have on your side of the bargaining table, too. She can wear the negotiating hats of many kinds of buyers and sellers, to navigate the market and translate the experience into an enjoyable one—it’s just always fun because Abi makes it feel that way, even though it can be confusing, frustrating and sometimes impossible. But don’t let all that fun fool you, Abi busts her butt to get you into a home you didn’t realize was possible. And she smiles sincerely the whole way through. And, for us, once we got going with our purchase, Abi kept surprising us with all her connections. Abi’s got a got a guy, or a gal, for pretty much anything. If you ever need help navigating a move and ALL that goes with it, you know you’re at home—or about to get into a great one— when Abi is your agent.
