TE ST IMONIALS KALIE KOIVISTO | 704.617.3780 | KKOIVISTO@COTTINGHAMCHALK.COM “We initially met Kalie at an open house. She was so personable, friendly and professional that we chose her as our buyer’s agent, and have not regretted it for an instant. Kalie has been one of the most reliable, responsive and helpful real estate professionals we have ever had the pleasure of working with. We negotiated and purchased our Charlotte property from another state, which in itself can be a very stressful proposition, but with Kalie’s help the process went smoothly. Her patience and responsiveness were beyond reproach. She was with us every step of the way, going above and beyond in helping and advising us with negotiations, documentation and inspections, and showing up as our proxy whenever we needed her. I can confidently recommend Kalie without reservation.”
“Kalie was an absolute joy to work with in selling our home. Friendly, personable, knowledgeable, professional, organized and about every other positive adjective you can think of. She helped with the staging of our home for the photos, planted flowers at our back door and also brought a pot of flowers for the front door. She is extremely caring and will treat you like family. Throughout the entire process we felt as though we were working with someone we had known for years What more could you ask for. We listened to her thoughts and recommendations and had 4 offers, all over asking and sold our house in just a few days. Effortless, well except the moving out part but that was on us. I can’t thank you enough Kalie and should we decide to buy again, you are the only call we will make.”
“My wife and I were introduced to Kalie via a mutual friend. Upon meeting Kalie, we instantly hit it off with her. From that point, our search only got easier. Kalie had experience and expertise on finding what we were looking for, in the area we were looking for. During the search phase, she helped us decode certain builder elements and let us know what to look for! She made the closing process easy and efficient, and stayed with us every step of the way. I could not recommend a better REALTOR® than Kalie. We will be using her from here on out while in the Charlotte, NC area.”
“Kalie has an unparalleled work ethic and is detail oriented. She found our new home for us, walked us through the purchase process, worked to remediate inspection concerns, and was with us to hold our hand during the closing. She was in constant contact and provided full transparency every step of the way. Our move was nerve-wracking but Kalie was a confidant and a steady force. Kalie also has great resources. We couldn’t be happier with the handyman and mortgage company she found us.”
“Extremely helpful, knowledgeable and adept in every sales issue we encountered. She was readily available to assist in every issue that we encountered, and she was an excellent intermediary when we needed to communicate with the buyer, the closing attorney’s office or repair personnel. Highly recommend Kalie Koivisto without reservation!”
“Kalie has an innate ability to make homeowners feel comfortable and engaged, which made our home sale process a wonderful experience. I think it’s because she truly cares about her clients. She brings her intelligence, amazing style, and eye for design to the home sale or buying process. This combination helped us to get through what is quite emotional in a way that made us confident in the decisions we made. All of her advice on what to do to prepare our home for sale was spot on. With her business savvy, she knew how to help us with the numbers and analysis of market dynamics so we could price the home appropriately. Our house was stunning at the end and sold on the first day of showing above list price. We couldn’t have asked for a better agent! Highly, highly recommend!!”
“Kalie was great to work with. She understood our needs and help us find the right home. We moved from CT and were not sure what area we wanted to buy in. With a thorough plan Kalie laid out we found a house in our first weekend trip. We highly recommend Kalie.”
“My husband and I relocated to Charlotte and recently had the pleasure of working with Kalie Koivisto when looking for our home. From day 1, Kalie was extremely responsive and had great suggestions for homes to view based on what we were looking for. All throughout the negotiations and closing Kalie was there quickly handling any issues that may have risen. If the time ever comes when we will be looking for a new home, there isn’t any question on who our REALTOR® will be!”
“Hello future Charlotte area’s buyers, My wife and I have been moving from NYC (LI) to Charlotte, and while renting were starting to look in February 2020 for a new house within 30 minutes from uptown Charlotte. Kalie was masterful to help us navigate the Charlotte real estate marker that is so different from NY BUT where it becomes truly interesting is that we saw our future home on the day before quarantine started. As things were starting to shut down, Kalie was not only able to manage the visit but all the following steps meaning: inspections, radon, pest, survey (and thank God as the owner ended up very nicely moving the fence that was encroaching by three feet on neighbor). On top of that, Kalie was able to provide us with so much more as far as advices on local contractors (we are working with three now). We also appreciated her patience and dedication during our closing and stayed the full SIX hours with us until the country registered the necessary papers. I call that White Gloves service … We would strongly recommend to any buyer Kalie as she truly provides an experience second to none.”
“Kalie Koivisto is a dedicated, personable and discretely tactful professional. She was great to work with throughout the entire sales evolution. The sale of my parents’ home was made easier because of her skills and accommodating demeanor. She was available to help, no matter what the issue was. There aren’t enough superlatives to illustrate our experience in working with Kalie. We highly recommend her without reservation.”
“Kalie was fantastic to work with. She is detailed and has a wonderful personality, but perhaps the most important aspect is that she really understands the Charlotte market. Every step of the way, we were so glad we had Kalie’s assistance and knowledge. Fantastic Experience!”
“Kalie was amazing to work with! She did more than we ever expected. From day 1, she turned around staging and pictures of our house in just a couple of days and got the house on the market as promised. She kept us updated with every showing feedback, she did open houses, she was super active in getting our house sold. We have never worked with someone so open and transparent, fast, and incredibly nice. She took our listing during a very difficult time, the house had already been on the market for 90 days when she got the listing, thank God she did, because is just 3 weeks she found our buyer, worked late to make sure all paperwork was done the same day, and just like that, sold our house. We couldn’t have asked for a better REALTOR® to sell our house. Thanks for everything Kalie!!!”
“Thanks so much Kalie, for going above and beyond on the sale of our home. We couldn’t have asked for anything more than you gave us during this stressful time. I would certainly recommend you to anyone I know looking to buy or sell a home.”
“My wife and I recently relocated to the Charlotte area with our 5 year old son and another on the way. Attempting to locate a neighborhood in an unfamiliar city was a daunting task. Fortunately for us, we met Kalie! Kalie helped us narrow down our search by focusing on the items that were most important to us, namely schools, commute, and easy access to restaurants/night life. She spent countless hours taking us around to various neighborhoods that “checked all the boxes.” And when we finally found “the one” she helped walk us through the process step-by-step. Her knowledge, expertise, and responsiveness are second-to-none. She has become not just our REALTOR®, but our friend. I would strongly urge anyone looking for a great REALTOR® in the Charlotte area to reach out to Kalie Koivisto at Cottingham Chalk. You’ll be glad you did!”
“My fiancé and I used Kalie as our realtor during April and May of 2022, and despite the insane market conditions she was fantastic and went out of her way to do things for us like write offers while she was out of town. We landed the second offer we wrote in very seller-heavy market and she was always very responsive and gave great advice. I will very likely be using her again in the future and would recommend anyone in the Charlotte area to do the same.”
“Leaving Charlotte metro, Kalie was excellent in orchestrating a fast and painless sale of our home. Supportive and responsive every step of the way. Highly recommend!”
“Kalie took SO MUCH of the stress out of the home buying process. Buying a house from 900 miles away can be difficult, but not with Kalie as our realtor. She was patient, kind, but firm when necessary. She prepared us for everything to expect but was honest and not just telling us only fluffy information. She’s very informed and because of her, we got our BEAUTIFUL house in 21 days with ZERO hiccups!!! She was always there to answer questions, no matter how dumb I felt they may have been. Kalie is one of the best, period.”
“Kalie is the absolute best realtor. She tirelessly worked to find us a wonderful home and helped us navigate many twists and turns with encouragement and professionalism. As our family relocated to Charlotte, we knew absolutely nothing about the area. Kalie took it on herself to be our guide and show us around and helped this place feel like home. We would have been lost without Kalie. Could not recommend her more.”
“Kalie is awesome! She was super helpful to me throughout the process. Kalie understood my needs well and notified me of the property I bought the day it was listed and helped me set an appropriate price. She was able to source additional information about the listing that helped me make an informed decision. Kalie went above and beyond my expectations, and I would highly recommend working with her.”
“Kalie was honest about the market and what we needed to do to get a house. She was so helpful and was sure to check in to be sure we didn’t miss out on anything we liked. We felt like her only client through the entire process. She made a hard market a good experience. Would definitely recommend her and use her again!”
“Kalie is amazing! As we discussed the sale of my property, she came with a strategy and options. All along the process she was proactive and communicative and made the whole experience very easy. I highly recommend Kalie for all future real estate needs.”
“My husband and I relocated to Charlotte and recently had the pleasure of working with Kalie Koivisto when looking for our home. From day 1, Kalie was extremely responsive and had great suggestions for homes to view based on what we were looking for. All throughout the negotiations and closing Kalie was there quickly handling any issues that may have risen. If the time ever comes when we will be looking for a new home, there isn’t any question on who our Realtor will be!”
“Kalie is an awesome agent, she helped us to sell our house and the whole process was so smooth. She gave us the best strategies and advice to move thing forward. We were so lucky to have her.”
“My husband and I just closed on a house after looking for one year! Kalie Koivisto was a joy to work with. Her attention to detail made for a very easy transition. We highly recommend!”
“Kalie was absolutely amazing throughout my home hunting and buying process. It was a little more challenging because I was out of state, and Kalie was my boots on the ground. She provided excellent feedback and recommendations, giving me an sense of peace of mind and confidence. She was incredibly prompt throughout the process, and has the highest integrity. I highly recommend Kalie to anyone looking for a new home!”
“Kalie was incredible! As a first-time home buyer, I felt a bit overwhelmed with the homebuying process. But she was very good at making everything feel easy and even enjoyable! Kalie is extremely knowledgeable about the area and local home market, and helped me find the house that fit best for me and my price range.”
“We had the immense pleasure of working with Kalie on our relocation from Colorado to the Charlotte area. Our search parameters were a bit off the beaten path and we were looking for a home that was special. Kalie was responsive and engaged from the very start and never failed to return calls, answer questions or provide prompt and professional advice. She also drove much farther into the outer edges of our search area — promptly and without complaint — than any other agent we’ve used. And Kalie was genuinely thrilled for us when we finally found our “unicorn”. She made the home buying process extremely smooth and enjoyable. We will miss having an excuse to talk to her! Without reservation, our family recommends Kalie. Her professionalism and warm personality are ideal for any client who truly wants to feel heard and supported though the buying process.”
“We just closed on our first home and we can honestly say that having Kalie with us throughout the entire process helped everything go so smoothly and diligently. Her advice was so helpful to have as we began making decisions and it made them so much easier! An amazing resource to have!”
“I was introduced to Kalie through my company’s relocation management company. My husband and I were relocating to Charlotte and didn’t have much knowledge about the area. She got on the phone with us to learn about what we loved about our neighborhood, some of our heartburns, and what was important to us not only in a house but in a community. What was important to us was important to her. In our very first visit she introduced us to a few different areas of town and we saw some different homes. This helped me and my husband fine tune what we were looking for in our new home. She went at a pace we were both comfortable with.. we never once felt rushed into a decision. She also was great about being honest with us about our expectations and educating us on the local housing market. Ultimately she found us a house that was perfect for us! It was right in the middle of our budget which was important to my husband, and still had everything I wanted. When it came to negotiation, she got us the house for lower than asking price and ensured that all repairs were completed prior to us moving in the home. I would highly recommend Kalie for buying or selling your home. She will be dedicated to you and making sure that you are making the best decision for you and your family.”
“Could not be happier. Kalie listed and sold our house in only a few days and was a pure delight to work with. Thanks Kalie for putting your experience to work for us and for being the professional that you are and your caring nature which made for a great experience. We didn’t know it was possible to sell a home without the associated anxiety and drama that goes along with it but now we know different Wenhighly recommend Kalie for whatever your real estate needs might be.”
“Kalie is awesome! She made the home buying process stress-free and was such a pleasure to work with. Cannot recommend her enough!”
“My husband and I just purchased our first home together and we were SO happy that Kalie came into the picture early on. The process went so smoothly, and lucky for me she has the same organized brain that I do. She kept us up to date with everything we needed to do including action items to stay on task and also things we would want to consider before moving in. We are so happy to have her as a resource!”
“Kalie made the home buying process absolutely painless. She was the most knowledgeable, passionate, talented, and caring realtor I’ve ever met. She explained the process at the beginning in a way that I could understand. She constantly provided me with great options and was always available for tours or questions. I will recommend Kalie to all of my friends and family!”
