Testimonials

Sara Lewis, Lake Oswego Broker

I’ve had several managing brokers over the years, ranging from terrible to pretty good…Dennis is the only one I would ever say is excellent! He is so great about making himself available, problem solving, supporting and backing up agents! Coupled with a great personality, funny emails and hilarious practical jokes, Dennis is the best! I absolutely love and appreciate everything Dennis does for me on a regular basis, thanks Dennis!

Dennis Kelly is why I selected Windermere Stellar.  His patience with new agent questions is tireless!  He has a way of making everyone he meets feel comfortable and included.  His humor, wit, and humility are a winning combination - we are so lucky to have such a great mentor and leader! 

Kendall Woodworth, Lake Oswego Broker

He has created a professional and friendly working enviroment through his warm management style. He makes it fun to work in the office and he can always be counted on for his support and expertise.

Peggy Taylor, West Linn Business Support Specialist

Dennis is such an amazing individual and deserves special recognition.
As a manager, his door is always open and he is never too busy to answer a question or just have a little chat.
Dennis’ knowledge of real estate fills volumes. It is reassuring in any market but especially in today’s challenging market that Dennis is right there for the agents every step of the way.
Dennis is a prankster. The “little” kid in him definitely keeps the office on its toes. I think twice before I completely believe his emails. Everyone needs a little fun in their lives and Dennis has enough “fun” for two people.
Finally, I am grateful to be a part of Dennis’ “office” family and to call him my friend.

Linda Mendenhall, Lake Oswego Broker

Every real estate office should be so lucky to have a stellar leader like Dennis. I’ve never worked for a company where people look forward to weekly all-office meetings. The office is always packed Tuesday mornings…and that’s because of Dennis. His wit makes us laugh, while his gentle leadership makes us all feel supported in the most amazing way. Thank you, Dennis, for standing behind and caring for us like a true leader!

Mignon Ervin, Lake Oswego Broker

Dennis is the extremely rare combination of professional colleague, experienced supervisor, timely mentor, patient listener, wise counselor, encouraging teacher and stand up comic. His truly sincere concern for agents is demonstrated in surprisingly profound ways, often through humbly serving us in the performance of tasks that some managers would consider beneath them! Well known for being accessible, he is even willing to share the exact details of his daily and weekly schedule, so that we might always know how to reach out to him for support. Intellectually current in the ever evolving details of all things real estate, finished by great compassion for all his charges and possessing an unimpeachable character, he is definitely a manager for all seasons and circumstance. What a privilege it is to work, laugh and learn from him!

Tam Hixson, Lake Oswego Broker

As a new agent, I learned quickly that Dennis is more than a managing principal broker. He possesses and exemplifies the qualities of a great leader. Knowledgeable and accessible, he inspires growth and learning. I am fortunate to have his guidance; he has been incredibly encouraging and supportive. Most importantly, he has fun and that positive energy is contagious.

Trevor Nelson, Lake Oswego Broker

Dennis is a magnificent principal broker, and I feel very fortunate to have such support and knowledge whenever necessary. He is always eager to help out, and in times where there are tough issues or advice is needed, his intelligence, diligence and confidence really makes a difference in how we are able to do business.

Karen McLaughlin, Lake Oswego Broker

Dennis is one of the best examples of how a person should manage. He is the perfect combination of patience, knowledge, great listener, sage counselor, mentor all wrapped up with a wicked sense of humor. He is always available to his agents and is willing to do anything to help. Dennis is a nugget – an asset to the agents he manages and to Windermere Stellar.

Casey Franklin, Lake Oswego Broker

Dennis Kelly is absolutely the best manager on the planet. Not only does he have incredible Real Estate acumen, he is funny, personable and always makes everyone feel welcome and at home. I chose Windermere because of Dennis. He makes our office environment fun to be a part of, every time I come to the office I am reminded of what a wonderful place I work and I leave a bit more motivated every time. Thank you Dennis!

I couldn’t imagine a better manager than Dennis; he is smart, ethical and genuinely fun to be around. He is a teacher at heart and uses incredible care and patience with agents, especially those who are new to real estate. In this business there are often difficult situations, and when things get difficult I trust him for guidance. Dennis has become the moral voice in my head and my gratitude for all he does knows no bounds. His sense of humor can make even the driest topics entertaining, and brings laughter to every meeting. There is no one who could make this office seem more like a family than Dennis!
