Rene Kessel is truly the best agent in town. She has sold a house for me and helped me buy two others. I wouldn't work with anyone else

My realtor, Rene, at Coldwell Banker Is amazing to work with. She helped me out so much. I appreciate everything she’s done for me, and I couldn’t ask for a better outcome!

Rene Kessel is a wonderful realtor.Thanks to her help, our house sold in 2 days!!We also got $10,000 over asking price, which was the exact Zillow Zestimate price.What really made the difference was the meticulous way in which her Stager, Rebecca arranged all of her own staging furniture, and help from Esmeralda, the house cleaner and the window cleaning person whom Rene recommended.Her handyman also powerwashed our garage door, which was not in good shape, and this greatly improved the curb appeal of our house for a low price.All in all, it was the strength of her team and her beautiful personality that sold the house. Thanks, Rene!

We could not have been better cared for and guided in selling a home over 1,000 miles away. Rene and her assistant Kym went over all expectations through their careful detail and management of improvements needed to ensure a positive sale. They were diligent in having the home shown properly, maintaining conversations with interested parties and all steps necessary to get to the closing. We truly had no idea such a great duo could exist!

I have purchased and sold a number of homes over the years, and Rene Kessel is by far the most professional, courteous, hard-working, diligent, reliable, and knowledgeable real estate agent I have ever worked with. Her communication skills are superb, and she is a committed provider from start to finish. It was great luck for me to have had Rene as my agent, and I will not consult another agent in any future sale or purchase.

Rene is the best! She is extremely professional and always work on our behalf as though it were her being effected. Rene and her team always provided answers to questions in a timely manner and would research anything we had additional questions on. Rene and her team were patient and would always take our preferences into consideration! I highly recommend her and her team.

Rene was there for me every step of the way. She never gave up on me and gave me alternative options. She walked me through the whole process, and handed me off to Essence Pando, to finish my way through buying a house process. Both ladies are great at what they do, I would highly recommend Rene to friends and family.

Rene was great, quick to jump on looking at homes. Setup video calls for viewings and gave honest view weighing major pros/cons of each home. Very helpful agent with me being out of state. Thank you!

We feel that Rene Kessel went above and beyond to help us get our house sold. She sent a consultant to help stage the house and have beautiful twilight photos taken to show the highlights of our home. Her experience, background, and expertise made for a quick and easy sell. She was always professional and available to us. She will be recommended if we know of anyone looking to sell or buy. She will work hard for you!!

Rene was fantastic! She listened to all of our wants and needs. She was always quick to get back with us when we sent her a house we wanted to see or had any questions about the home buying process , being that this was our first time buying a home. We had to do our home buying virtually due to we were moving from Missouri to Albuquerque. We were nervous about buying a house without being able to see it in person or knowing the area. She made us feel at ease by going above and beyond during our virtual showings. She would open any drawer we wanted to see, zoom in on anything we had concerns about and would also show us the neighborhood so that we could see the area. We felt Rena truly had our best interest in mind when helping us find our home.

Rene is Awesome! My wife and I have bought and sold a lot of real estate in our lives and we can tell you that although realtors are plentiful, few are exceptional. Rene is exceptional. She understands the market and users her knowledge and experience to deliver the best results for her clients. She routinely goes above and beyond to help with a plethora of issues one encounters during the normal course of each transaction including inspections and repairs requests and work needed to list your home for sale or complete the sale. Rene answers her phone when you call and provides updates during the process. We have listed 4 of our homes for sale with Rene and will list two more with her this year. Our only regret is she can only help us in New Mexico and hope someday she will relocate to our new home state so she can help us here : )

Buying a house in the middle of a pandemic wasn’t easy, but Rene was so helpful and did a wonderful job making things go as smoothly as possible. No question was too small, and if she didn’t know the answer she was quick to find out. She helped us get a great house and an even better price!

Rene was absolutely fabulous to work with! I'm a busy working mom and she really saved me when it came to getting estimates for work and scheduling with contractors. She gave me such great advice on paint and carpet, that we ended up receiving multiple offers. She will be highly recommended to everyone that I know!

She was not just a realtor she was the project manager to get the entire process completed. So much more than just listing a house to actually get the deal done. She worked with the various people to get the boxes checked that we needed checked. She was at the house when we could not be there.

Rene is a life saver! She helped my fiancée and I navigate the competitive home market as first-time home buyers. She is incredibly helpful and patiently educated us on many parts of the process. I would highly recommend her services!

Rene is a competent and hard working real estate agent. I've had other good real estate agents over the years and she's the best. She managed to negotiate a good price on a great house in Sandia Park in the current crazy Albuquerque seller's market. She showed me homes across the greater Albuquerque area from Placitas to the East Mountain. We did this by video since I am overseas for work and my adult children accompanied her so the logistics were more difficult but she worked out all the details. She also has a detailed knowledge of house systems and she pointed out defects in houses we were looking at and discussed what might be involved in repairs. You will be happy you chose her for your home purchase.

Rene is the best realtor ever!! My house sold in just ONE day due to hersuggestions. She suggested I paint the inside and get the brick floorsrestrained and I did. She is very knowledgeable, professional andfriendly. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a realtor!! :-)Irene Douglass.

Rene Kessel’s professionalism and attention to detail is unmatched. I was her client for both the purchase in 2017 and sale of my home in 2020. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking to purchase a home in the greater Albuquerque area. Throughout the process of selling my home, Rene’s total dedication to duty was on full display from start to finish. As a direct result of her meticulous planning, beautiful staging, and expansive market knowledge, my home went on the market and was under contract in less than 3 days!

We had a good interactions - it was even fun - scoring a house in a seller's market with Rene as our buyer's agent. We tend to be quite independent at problem solving and Rene was able to roll with that as well as offering her own independent advice and problem solving.

Dec 05, 2019

We had an incredibly good experience using Ms Rene Kessel as the realtor in our recent home purchase. We looked at several homes, and made an offer on one. Subsequently the house was found to have problems and we withdrew the offer.Ms Kessel was not phased by the turn of events and continued to work on our behalf to purchase our current home. She was extremely patient, knowledgeable and efficient. She helped us to the complexities of the real estate process. It was a very successful transaction. Even after the sale, she has been very helpful in answering questions concerning the property and our relocation to New Mexico. I highly recommend Ms. KESSEL . I certainly would use her again for any real estate transaction.
