An absolute nightmare working with Kelsey. I don't usually leave reviews but if I can spare one…read moreperson the nightmare we dealt with... it's worth it. As a seller who sold a home to this agent's buyer, all I have to say is run from Kelsey Payne. I would never recommend her to anyone based on her inability to communicate effectively, constant excuses as to why things are not accomplished and then complicating the closing process with demands not outlined in the contract written BY HER. First red flag should have been when she made a typo in the initial offer 100k under asking. For more specific details, continue reading the essay (lol) below. The earnest money was not received by our attorney for over a week. We received notification of items that the buyer wanted completed per the inspection. Items were completed immediately except for a simple cosmetic request (a quarter sized hole in a door) which was not required per contract. When we tried to scheduled our closing, our attorney reached out and was told the buyer didn't have the money and that we had never fixed the inspection items. Kelsey had been notified of completion days priors. At this point, I called her directly. She said that she wasn't able to answer calls because she was at a conference (she was at market for her clothing boutique). I was told the cosmetic issue on the door was the reason they would not commit to the closing time. I agreed to replace the door in exchange for a time commitment. A follow up email was written to confirm closing time and again, she couldn't commit. I reached out directly to the buyer and he confirmed time and date immediately. Finally, the worst part of all. 10 minutes before walking in to close, we received notification that our buyers were not happy with the condition of the home, and would not be closing until remedied. The home was swept, vacuumed and wiped down. Supposedly, the buyers wanted us to patch and paint every nail hole in the walls along with fixing dirt patches in the grass. These dirt areas had been a part of our property the entire time we lived in the home. Again, none of this was mentioned in the contract. Kelsey continued to say that it is a new home and should be in new condition...it's 3 years old and has been lived in the entire time. She then to threaten us with not closing and say she hates working with for sale by owners. Unfortunately, for her, one of my good friends owns a very successful real estate company and was able to guide me through all of the shenanigans. Finally, the closing funds were not wired prior to closing. Can we say "Amateur hour??!" Attorney had them do it while sitting in his office since it should have received prior. We have sold three homes for sale by owner and have never had any of these issues with any of our buyers agents. None of our buyers agents have complained we were selling FSBO since we still pay commission for them. Our attorney also agreed she was one of the most difficult agents he has worked with. She made it very difficult to get anything accomplished. I'd like to know if she handles all purchases this way or it is simply because she "doesn't work with for sale by owners". Since she has "sold 80 homes in the last 3 years", you would think she would have her crap a bit more together. But what do I know? I'm just a home owner who's sold 3 homes by myself when this is not my career. Good luck to anyone who decides to use her as their real estate agent or has to deal with her in general. Horrible!
