What our client’s are saying…

“Kelly has been with us since 2012. She acted as our representative in monitoring the construction of our second home in Montecito. She was invaluable during that process.  Everyone liked and respected her and her input made it go more smoothly. Kelly also played an important role for us during the Montecito fire in December, 2017 and flood and mudslides in January, 2018. She showed a lot of initiative and independent thinking, and instantly went into action to monitor and help with both situations. The bottom line is that Kelly makes our ownership of this house totally carefree.  She’s pleasant, professional, efficient, and trustworthy, with a lot of experience and expertise in the areas of construction and property management.”

“Kelly has worked for our family for well over 12 years, supervising four houses located from Montecito to Newport Beach. She has overseen bathroom remodels, new heating and cooling systems, the remediation of mold and installation of new walls, new plumbing systems, new windows and much more. I can’t think of anything Kelly hasn’t attended to. She is responsible, reliable, and motivated. She recognizes issues that need to be dealt with, consults with the appropriate subcontractors. She is skilled at working with people and exudes a positive energy. She is a self-starter and is organized.”

“We would highly recommend Kelly Warner as an estate manager.  She has worked for us since 2017, taking care of our 7000 sq. ft. home in Montecito.  We are here 6 months out of the year, and the remaining 6 months we often have tenants in residence.  She is able to work seamlessly between our occupancy and the tenants’. She not only handles the day to day, but also the extraordinary.  An example of the latter, was when our water heater burst and flooded our basement.  She not only handled all of the clean up, but also remedied every single aspect of the problem.  She knows what it takes to keep a house in first class condition and has the inter-personal skills to deal with all the vendors.”

“Kelly is a true professional, and also has this polish and presence that helps her operate in our home with ease and familiarity. She is confident, kind, assertive (when necessary) and as it turns out…now part of the family. Kelly has a deep contact list of subs to source for every job, she is a great negotiator, and her standards need to be met or the job will have to be re-done. We have had a few problem issues that have persisted for years, and Kelly didn’t quit until she figured them out. She handles several of our properties in three states but spends most of her time on our 8,000 sq ft home in Manhattan Beach. She deftly schedules all the maintenance crews on the day she is here. What we love is that she is always prepared in advance, telling us what to expect.”

— Cindy H.

“Kelly is a highly professional and conscientious worker. She managed our two properties to the highest standards. Perhaps better than we ever done ourselves. We had her seek bids, supervise work, troubleshoot, arrange routine maintenance and cleaning and other associated tasks. She also solely supervised and managed our last home move and installation. As a result, we were able to walk away from our home knowing we had nothing to worry about and that our homes were maintained to the highest standards. I would recommend her without reservation.”

— Kathleen R.

“Claire was fantastic to work with during the move.  She takes initiative and does not hesitate to “roll up her sleeves”.  She was a great addition to the team and enabled us to finish our move in two days.”

— Don O.

“Kelly was responsible for a wide variety of ongoing tasks at our house: planning parties and other entertainments, paying bills, dealing with repairmen, managing the housekeeper, making travel arrangements, organizing and responding to mail, running errands, etc. She is an organized, smart, hard worker, whose integrity and attention to detail is exemplary.”

— Molly M.
