WORKING WITH
KALIE KOIVISTO
GET TO KNOW KALIE I love Charlotte, have lived here since 2003 and I am thrilled to see the growth and vibrancy of our area. When I’m not out with clients I love to explore new restaurants, neighborhoods and cultural events. It’s important to me to stay current and on-trend, and I have a great network of fellow agents and clients-now-friends in different parts of town and in different stages of their lives who help me stay in tune with what’s new. As a full-time agent I am obsessive about efficiency and saving time for my clients. I know how difficult it is for you to carve out a few extra minutes from a very busy schedule, managing commitments to family and careers. To me a great realtor is someone who goes the extra mile to make life easier for their clients – whether that means scheduling a repair, helping with some lastminute gardening before a photo shoot or being there and listening when you need it. It’s more than customer service, it’s building a relationship for years to come. I love being part of the Cottingham Chalk team because we do things the right way every time. It’s important to me to give back to the community I call home and over the years I’ve become involved with a number of organizations that focus on the health of our community here in Charlotte. I’m thankful to be an active member of Women’s Impact Fund and a committee member for the Duke Mansion Preservation Society. I am an ECW board member at Christ Church and I love to support organizations like Feeding Charlotte and Families Forward. My family and I love to entertain, spend time with our friends and meet new people!

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY
“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.” — Betty and Don P.
“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. Whenever I had a question or needed help, she was quick to respond and answer in great detail. I would recommend Kalie to anyone especially first-time home buyers.” — T. Stokey
“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 thought the buying process.” — A. Veyera
“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!” — Mark B.
“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 arisen. 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!” — D. “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.” — David B.
