Kelley Ruzicka's Success Stories

“I speak eleven languages and I do not know enough superlatives with all of them combined to describe the incredible job Kelley Ruzicka did on our behalf.  We have purchased and sold real estate in several States and in Europe. Kelley handled every iota of our process and sale we can honestly attest that despite the challenges of selling a home over a distance of 1246 miles in a nation fully-masked and partially locked down, we suffered not one moment of anxiety or concern that our house would be sold at fair market value and any ‘bumps along the way’ would be smoothed with utmost efficiency, personal attention and completeness. Our only regret in this entire transaction with Firefly Real Estate is that we owned only one home in Wisconsin and, thus, could not enjoy our delightful exchanges in a professional/personal relationship through further home sales with Kelley. Anyone considering purchasing property in the Milwaukee area should spare themselves from ‘realtor search angst’ and make only one call – to Firefly Real Estate.”

We think the world of Kelley. She was extremely professional, thorough and thoughtful during our time working together. She brought her industry knowledge and expertise allowing us to make easy decisions and ultimately a quick sale of our property. Kelley kept us up to date every step of the way and confident in the home sale process. Of course it goes without saying that her dynamic and fun personality attributes to her success today and in the future.

Working with Kelley was a joy. She knows the market and knows all the buyer types and will give you all the information you need to make an informed decision when the offers start coming in. She takes the time to explain what you need to know in a way that makes you truly know what is going on with the sale of your house. Our next listing and purchase with definitely be with her!

Kelley was awesome to work with. She listened to our needs from the start and recommended the exact house that we ended up purchasing because she knew us and Wauwatosa that well. She was always very quick to respond to us via phone, email or text throughout the whole process no matter what questions we had.

There are no words to describe the amount of gratitude we have for Kelley. As first time home buyers buying not only during a crazy market but also during a pandemic, Kelley never skipped a beat. From the moment we had our first phone call she ensured we were understanding everything and the process of how everything worked. She even made sure to get to know us personally to make sure we didn’t feel like “just another client.” She was always available when we had questions and was willing to explain it multiple times without any frustration. Kelley was an absolute dream to work with. We got our dream house in a time frame even we didn’t think was possible but Kelley believed in it from the start. Not only is Kelley extremely personable but her knowledge and expertise on both the buying and selling side is something we truly believe sets Kelley apart from the rest. We love Kelley and will forever recommend her to our friends and family!”

We would like to thank Firefly Real Estate and our agent Kelley Ruzicka for helping to sell our home. From the moment we had our initial meeting with Kelley, we knew that this was the agent that we wanted. We were extremely pleased with Kelley’s knowledge, suggestions, and professionalism. Communication was daily with our agent so we knew we were top priority! Kelley was very knowledgeable about the market and how best to market. All the strategies, calendar, timelines, and staging helped us sell our home within two days.

When we realized we would be relocating out of state instead of building the addition and remodel we had planned onto our 1929 Wauwatosa house, Kelley was the person I knew we would select to represent and sell our home. She was able to see what we loved about our home, and envision the potential we saw and had hoped to develop. Kelley’s infectious optimism was the perfect catalyst to support us through the stressors of placing our home on the market with a busy family and very tight timeline. Her continual support was invaluable. Through highs and lows, Kelley exemplified honesty and tact while treating us with the utmost respect and empathy as we made strategic decisions and altered the plan of sale to fit the changing situation. We never felt pressured or cornered, and always had all the information needed to make the decisions. An exceptional gift is Kelley’s ability to explain all the details of real estate contracts into easily understandable language and the endless patience as we learned the vocabulary and got up to speed to understand the nuances and make the final choices of how our home sale would be completed. Throughout the marketing and sale of our home, Kelley remained solely focused on our goals and priorities not what would look best for her or earn the highest commission. We were very impressed with her professionalism and dedication not only to market and sell our home but her adherence to the high values and ethics of the real estate profession. Across the entire experience, Kelley was warm, confident, knowledgeable, and professional. She made the process of selling our home focus on writing the next chapter of our family’s story, and with her help, we were able to say goodbye to our home in Wauwatosa with full hearts and budding dreams for our future.

Kelley Ruzicka from the Wauwatosa office sold my duplex last May for far more than I hoped for. She did a thorough market analysis and arranged for a home inspection, staging, professional photography, and more. I felt like I had a real partner through the process. We had multiple offers at the first open house and closed with a happy buyer and seller. I’ve bought and sold many houses over the years and this transaction was by far the smoothest. Highly recommend!
