Dear RSF Buyers & Sellers,
Welcome. My name is Lucy Kelts. It has been my distinct pleasure to serve as a Real Estate Consultant to the community of Rancho Santa Fe for many years.
I cherish Rancho Santa Fe, as it’s my own hometown as well. So it’s truly wonderful to have such close ties – professionally and personally – to this remarkable area. That my real estate expertise is now actively sought by celebrities, politicians and residents alike, is humbling. I consider it an honor to be consulted and entrusted with such important financial matters.
Whether you are a longtime resident or first-time visitor, my team and myself will make time to sit down with you personally.
Please contact my office now so we can learn more about you and schedule home previews for you immediately.
Yours truly,
‟We hired Lucy Kelts and Kathleen Baker to sell my elderly mother's home. We chose them because of their outstanding reputation. As we learned first hand, that reputation is well earned and deserved. During the entire process, Lucy and Kathleen, were always one step ahead. They took their fiduciary responsibility to their client very seriously and, … as such, they were always looking out for our very best interests. We confidently relied on their decades of experience and it resulted in a very smooth process, even when obstacles were thrown in their way. They were so excellent in working with my elderly mother who had a strong emotional attachment to the house. Lucy and Kathleen possess the knowledge, experience and interpersonal skills to get the job done right and continually went well above and beyond expectations. Their referrals for tradespeople were highly reliable and reasonable. From start to finish, Lucy and Kathleen anticipated needs and met them all with a smile and expert advice. They were an absolute pleasure to work with and made the selling of our home effortless. We feel so blessed to have had Lucy Kelts and Kathleen Baker sell our home” Read More ▾

‟As a real estate investor, I have done this before, and I really do my homework. Once I decide on what I want, I won’t settle for anything else. Our home search was frustrating and very long, as every realtor we encountered was trying to sell us overpriced homes in the area, homes that had serious construction/foundation issues, short sales involvi … ng bank fraud (seriously!) and homes that were not in areas that I wanted to live in. When I’d tell them what I wanted, they’d tell me it was impossible to find what I wanted, where I wanted, in my price range. Some were surprisingly extremely unprofessional and rude. My husband and I were so worn out from home shopping and dramatic realtors. Of my many experiences in real estate, this search was the worst! Then we, luckily, ran across Lucy and her team. Lucy and her staff were a much needed breath of fresh air! They were all friendly, courteous, knowledgeable, helpful, and professional. More importantly, Lucy took us and our needs seriously and worked harder than I’ve ever seen a realtor work to make our home purchase happen! At one point our lender required some ridiculous things and Lucy was on it. She had it all squared away in about 24 hours, and this was stuff that even I could not have done that quickly (and I consider myself a hard worker, too!). She stuck with us through the whole ordeal with our lender and got us exactly what we wanted and a very fair price. When everyone else said “impossible,” Lucy made it happen! I’m loving my new house and am so excited that I didn’t have to compromise anything at all. Thanks Lucy and Connie, for making this happen for us. We are beyond thrilled with our new home! I would, no question, recommend Lucy Kelts to anyone looking to purchase or sell their property. As an investor, I’ll be looking again for more properties and will definitely be calling Lucy when I’m ready” Read More ▾
‟Lucy recently sold a rental condominium for me. The experience was totally professional, skilled and efficient. Her team updated the unit for me in a few days (carpet, paint, light fixture, new sink, general cleaning). The pricing was perfect and we secured a buyer quickly. Requested improvements by the buyer after inspection were responded to in o … ne day. When the first escrow fell through during the last week due to nonfunding, a new escrow with a promising buyer was opened almost immediately at the same asking price. Email and phone availability was great. Connie, Lucy’s assistant, is at the main office and was especially organized, proficient and easy to work with. The escrow company used is fine. Lucy is a joy to work with and I recommend her without reservation” Read More ▾

‟Lucy Kelts helped my wife and me sell our Fairbanks Ranch home – that we had owned for 27 years. Lucy is the ultimate professional. She had a potential buyer in mind. My wife was/still is very emotional about the sale of that home – that we built/designed/spent most of our available time in – raising 3 wonderful children. Lucy sold our home before … we had to list the home on the MLS. Lucy almost achieved our full listing price – but she saved my wife from weeks/months of caravans/showings/appointments.

‟I have sold five homes in California over the last year, and generally have a considerably less than favorable opinion of most real estate agents.

‟I have been in the resort and commercial real estate business for over thirty years. We fell in love with a home in Fairbanks Ranch, however, we were confronted with one of the most difficult sellers I have ever encountered. The transaction became extremely complex due to repeated attempts by the seller to sabotage the deal and extract ongoing extr … as, remove promised appurtenances, force us to use his son as our mortgage broker, and on and on. Lucy supported us throughout the process, finessed the avoidance of litigation which at times seemed inevitable, and forced the seller to live up to the original agreement.
