"It was like a breath of fresh air working with Kieran. He demonstrated honesty, integrity and expertise in every phase of the sale of our condo and the purchase of our first home. We not only look to him as a good business person, we also feel that we gained a good friend in the deal."
- Kenyon and Andrew Moshovetis
"Kieran showed great diligence in the process the entire way; any requests I had of him were acted upon immediately. The availability and professionalism he showed was also a great plus.
Being able to email listings to me also was a great tool. The fact that I could reach him by office phone, cell phone, email, text message and instant message are all great tools that kept our lines of communication open."

"
After visiting a number of open houses and speaking with several real-estate professionals, I accepted a recommendation to call Mr. Donnelly. Through a number of conversations Kieran developed a sense of my lifestyle and the fine details regarding my real estate criteria. His attentiveness, diligence and provision of information were all outstanding. Moreover, his patience and willingness to visit several properties allowed both of us to develop a better sense of my ideal home.
When that home came on the market, Kieran's reaction was swift, professional, and thorough. From my first visit to the signing of the contract, Kieran answered every question, met all my requests and proffered knowledgeable and accurate advice throughout the transaction. Most importantly, by adding candor and good humor to his professionalism, he kept stress levels at a minimum. I considered the experience enjoyable, educational and rewarding
The path to homeownership can seem bewildering and intimidating. It is essential to find honest, trustworthy, hard-working individuals to assist in the process. Kieran Donnelly is one of those individuals. From our first conversation to his check-in calls long after the closing, he provided essential information in a courteous and timely manner. I highly recommend his services should you enter the real-estate arena. Please contact me at your convenience with any questions; I would be happy to provide more information."
