"My name is Jimaleen DeLabio and I recently sold and purchased a home with Calla Ricciardi. Following my listing with Calla for my home to be sold I was able to get an appropriate price and sell my property. I then had 4 weeks to find a home to purchase. Calla worked day and night to schedule appointments for myself and my daughter to look at homes in this area. I was hesitant that we would be able to find something in that short time period that I would like and be happy with long term. Calla was able to find something based on my needs including floor plan, location and price and I am happy to say that I was able to close on my new home the same day as the sale of my house. Calla made herself available on a daily basis as well her staff following up daily with e-mails and phone calls. I would like to extend my thanks and gratitude to Calla and her team for making this sale and purchase of my new home such a positive experience." ~Jimaleen DeLabio

 

 

"When my Mom moved to an assisted living home recently, I called Calla about selling Mom's house.  Given the housing market, I was very worried that it would be a prolonged and difficult process.  Also, I don't live in Kenosha, or even Wisconsin, so I needed someone who could deal with a long-distance process.  Calla immediately sent me photos of houses for sale in the market that were similar to Mom's.  She gave us a price that she thought would result in a timely sale and yet be very good for my Mom.  Once the house was on the market, Calla let me know when people were looking and what they were saying about the house.  I felt very informed.  And, in less than one month, we had an offer that was soon negotiated to the price we wanted.  Calla arranged for us to be absent for the closing and this all went very smoothly as well.  In total, the whole experience was great!  Calla was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, organized, and responsive." ~Georgia

 

"Calla is highly energized, highly motivated, and gave me good advice. I had a hard house to sell and she got it sold for me. She did a great job!" Dave Ziccarelli

 

"Calla explored all options when I went looking for a ranch style condo. Suggested building a unit to my specs, which I didn't think I  would be able to do. Got me in touch with the best builder to handle the job. Calla goes out of her way to make for a pleasant purchase. Willing to think outside of the box. Highly recommended, hope to use her again in the future." ~Randy Cram

 

“That woman knows how to move real estate.”

Based on this recommendation from a Kenosha attorney, I chose Calla Ricciardi and Colleen Realty as my realtor to sell my home in Pleasant Prairie, WI. I found the attorney’s recommendation to be very accurate indeed. My house was sold at a good price and quickly, given market conditions.

Beginning with our first meeting meeting, Calla and her team at Colleen Realty made me feel very confident that they would sell my home in a very difficult market. Calla was direct and honest with me on the assessment of my home’s strengths and areas in need of improvement. I made several of Calla’s suggested improvements and they enhanced my home’s appearance and improved its likely hood for sale.

Calla and her team remained in close contact with me as they arranged many showings of my home. Their follow up on leads and contacts with potential buyers was prompt.

I would recommend Calla and Colleen Realty to anyone seeking to sell or buy a home as one of the finest realtors I have worked with in several moves around the country.

"Calla did a wonderful job selling our home. She knew the market well and knew what it was going to take to get our home sold. She was also very mindful of our goals with selling the home. She was prompt and had excellent communication too. We will definitely recommend her and use her again!" Russ & Becky Brewer

"I have worked with Calla at both the buying and selling end of real estate transactions and she is terrific. She's been a realtor in the Kenosha area for decades, knows the market and brings a lot of energy to her work. When I first bought, she helped to connect me with the assessor's office before my purchase offer was even submitted. She is a true professional and has staff to coordinate the process too. I have never known a realtor who takes her job so seriously. She stays in touch, but is not a pest. She does little extras like send you a copy of closing papers at the end of the year so you have them on hand for the tax season. Finally, she is superb at reading people and negotiating with finesse. There's a reason I keep going back to her! Give her a call. You won't be sorry!"~Juliette Garashe

 

 "Calla was fantastic! We had our house on the market for over 3 years and we wish we would have found her earlier. She sold our house in less than 3 months. She was helpful, politely aggressive, kept in constant communication and very knowledgeable. Our highest recommendation!"~ Dr. Paul and Kelly West

 

 "Calla was on the ball! She worked hard to get my home sold and was always available for phone calls and questions. I would recommend Calla to anyone knowing that she will do a great job! Thanks Calla!"

"I have bought and sold 2 homes using Calla as my realtor. If you want the job done fast and right I would strongly recommend using Calla Riccardi at Century 21 Colleen Realty."

"Calla did a wonderful job selling our home. She knew the market well and knew what it was going to take to get our home sold. She was also very mindful of our goals with selling the home. She was prompt and had excellent communication too. We will definately recommend her and use her again!"

"Calla was extremely helpful with her knowledge of the area and the market. We weren't the easiest buyers,as we weren't really entirely sure what we were looking for and we had a very limited schedule in which to view homes. Calla was very flexible and patient with us and she was always responsive to our needs. She is very professional and she knows how to get the job done!"

"Calla is extremely professional and gets the job done. She helped me buy my home during a very stressful time in my life.Calli was supportive of me and my situation.I wish her the best in her professional and private life."

"Calla was a joy to work with! She helped me to find my new home in Kenosha. She's lived in and worked in Kenosha for years and it definitely shows based on her knowledge of Kenosha."

"Our experience with Calla I can honestly say was one of the best experiences we had. Calla sold our house and helped us find our new home. And it was all within about 3wks time. Everything happened so quick and there were so many things that could go wrong and didnt. Calla made sure everything was taken care of to make the process as easy on us as she could.
If I could choose one quality that both my husband and I love about Calla it would have to be her way of telling you like it is. Calla is very black and white, she tells you not what you want to hear but what you need to hear. It is a very comforting quality, because there are to many people out there that just sugar coat everything to make a buck and Calla is not one of those people. Calla isnt just a agent, she is a passionate person who is a master of her craft. After this experience Calla is also now our new friend. Thanks for everything!"

"Calla has the ability to be very personable and professional during the entire process of a home sale. She was great to deal with and I always felt she was doing the best in her abilities to satisfy my interests. My favorite thing about Calla is her response time. If i ever needed her on the phone, she was always willing to help and assist my needs. When I start looking for another house or if anyone ever asks for a recommendation in home sales, I will not hesitate to use Calla."

 

 "Calla is always on top of the ball. She will go above and beyond to make sure you have a great experience and always gets you the best deal possible with the house that fits your needs... no matter how many houses you have to look at."
