The Pelling Family

We could not have navigated the sale of our parents’ property in the Rancho Santa Fe Covenant without the experience and extraordinary generosity of Kerry Payne and Scott Appleby. John and Ann Pelling died within a month of each other last spring. None of the children lived on the West Coast and were scattered throughout the Midwest, the South and the East Coast. The Pelling home was lovely, but the exterior of the home needed painting and the yard spring maintenance. Some of the interior required painting, new carpet, staging, miscellaneous repairs, and cleaning. In our absence, Scott and Kerry met with countless contractors, organizing all that needed to be done. Miraculously, the home was on the market in just over a month. With their guidance and incredible hard work, the home was under contract several months after listing and closed shortly thereafter. While we tried not to be “hig…

We could not have navigated the sale of our parents’ property in the Rancho Santa Fe Covenant without the experience and extraordinary generosity of Kerry Payne and Scott Appleby.

The Pelling home was lovely, but the exterior of the home needed painting and the yard spring maintenance. Some of the interior required painting, new carpet, staging, miscellaneous repairs, and cleaning. In our absence, Scott and Kerry met with countless contractors, organizing all that needed to be done. Miraculously, the home was on the market in just over a month. With their guidance and incredible hard work, the home was under contract several months after listing and closed shortly thereafter. While we tried not to be “high maintenance Sellers” – we certainly must have topped their list. We needed Scott and Kerry’s help constantly. They knew exactly the right person to call to get tasks accomplished quickly, professionally and economically. John and Ann Pelling loved their property in the Rancho Santa Fe Covenant. Before Dad died, he said that we should retain Kerry and Scott, and we are grateful for his guidance. Kerry and Scott were considerate and thoughtful in presenting the property in the best possible light and treated our family with the utmost consideration and professionalism.

When my wife’s parents, Bernard & Virginia Frogel, decided to sell the family property in La Jolla, they asked me to find the best Realtor® for the job. We interviewed five different groups and when my wife’s parents, Bernard & Virginia Frogel, decided to sell the family property in La Jolla, they asked me to find the best Realtor® for the job. We interviewed five different groups and Kerry & Scott were hands down the best from start to finish. Their positive attitude, commitment to marketing, and follow-up to the final details of the escrow resulted in the best price and terms that any of the other four groups thought possible! Being a real estate broker myself, I don’t take their responsibilities lightly and highly recommend them to anyone looking to sell property in La Jolla or adjacent areas Kerry & Scott were hands down the best from start to finish.

We want you and your firm to know how much we value and appreciate your very high standard of professionalism. After receiving a glowing recommendation from dear friends and personally witnessing you provide incredible service to them in the sale and purchase of several properties, we knew we had to work with you. We could not be happier with the two wonderful properties we recently purchased with you and Scott in Del Mar; they were very smart acquisitions and you helped with the many points of detail connected to these transactions. Also, we were most pleased with how you represented us in the sale of our property when we were living remotely. Again, you managed all of the normal unplanned fire drills with quiet and confident resolve. We appreciate your handling of all aspects of the sale. We never feel overwhelmed or burdened during the buying or selling process thanks to your incredib…

Helen Woodward Animal Center worked with Kerry Appleby Payne and Scott Appleby on the sale of a large and donated 9 acre horse property in Rancho Santa Fe and we were extremely pleased not only with their dedication and customer service, but with their commitment to helping Helen Woodward Animal Center get the best deal possible for the organization. They worked tirelessly to learn all they could about the property itself and the various options available to potential buyers for remodeling and construction on the property, as well as casting a wide net over their contacts in the community and beyond to get many people looking at the property in a fairly short amount of time. The final offer that the Center accepted worked well for all parties involved and was facilitated with ease by Kerry and Scott. They made the entire process as painless as possible for the team here at Helen Woodward…
