— Kelly Hannah, Principal Broker, Eightline Real Estate
"Working with Kelly at Eightline has been the best experience I have had in real estate. From start to finish, from our initial conversations and throughout the whole process, Kelly was the consummate professional, and a great person to guide me and participate in the process. His history and expert knowledge of local real estate cannot be matched. I highly recommend Kelly for his friendliness, professionalism, and commitment to excellence."

“We had 17 offers on our townhome in 2 ½ days.”
Kelly Hannah was the perfect choice for me when I made the difficult decision to sell my home. He was very caring, attentive, and always approachable and responsive. He understood how difficult it was for me to make the decision to sell my house and was gentle and explained every step of the process in a way that reassured me immensely. Kelly also provided excellent suggestions for very doable home-improvement projects that ended up having big impacts both visually and financially; each improvement added up to great returns in the overall asking price and subsequent bids I received! Kelly loves Salt Lake and cares deeply about consequences the climate crisis will have on local homeowners! He does more than his share of educating our community about a dire future if ignored. I never doubted the trust I developed in Kelly, and would recommend him to anyone selling a home in the greater Salt Lake Valley, and beyond.

I met Kelly after my daughter and son-in-law hired him to sell their house. He did a great job for them and had their house sold in only a few days for a great price. He was very professional, friendly, and gave great advice, which we followed. We had 17 offers on our townhome in 2 1/2 days. He used a photographer that took amazing photos of our home. I recommend Kelly to anyone who is looking for a great agent/broker. He keeps you abreast of everything that he's doing. Thank you Kelly so much. We appreciate everything you did.

I worked with Kelly Hannah to sell my home and purchase another. Kelly has been fantastic! My home was under contract in two days and sold for more than I anticipated. He worked patiently with me to search for the right home for my family to purchase. Kelly is knowledgeable of the real estate market and advised us well. I am so pleased with my experience and grateful for Kelly and Eightline Real Estate!

Working with Kelly has been a blessing while in the process of selling our home. He has a breadth of knowledge and techniques that have gone into all aspects of the process from initial pricing to market strategies. He has a list of connections that make prepping the house for sale easy, while also providing excellent service. He is flexible on his timing and has been able to help us when scheduling was an issue. I highly recommend him as an agent when selling a home.

Kelly was our realtor over the summer and helped to sell our home. He also helped us find our new home which we are very pleased with. Kelly is absolutely amazing to work with. He responded to our phone calls and emails promptly and we always felt like a priority. His expertise and experience came through in every interaction we had, and he was so easy to work with. We highly recommend Kelly Hannah and Eightline Real Estate.
— Shannon H., Google
Kelly Hannah is a professional through and through, he helped us time and execute a sale as well as a purchase without any hiccups. He has extensive knowledge of the SLC neighborhoods, as well as great references to the services you will need throughout the home buying process. Five out of five stars for sure!!
— Zillow client
Kelly was a delight to work with. He was very punctual and involved daily in our transaction and helped us get a super quick closing! He represented both buyer and seller with no concerns whatsoever and a smooth sell.

Buyers and First Time Buyers
"From finding my dream home to negotiating the deal,
he had my back the whole way."
Kelly's expertise and professionalism were invaluable to me throughout the home buying process. As a first time home buyer, there was a lot I didn't know about what to expect. Kelly patiently explained all my questions and filled in any gaps in my knowledge. From finding my dream home to negotiating the deal, he had my back the whole way. Can't recommend Kelly and Eightline enough.
— Benjamin P., Google
To say Kelly is a great realtor is an understatement!! HE KNOWS HIS STUFF! He is genuine, trustworthy and made buying our first home a truly positive experience. I can't recommend him and Eightline enough.
— Haley J., Google
I could write a book entitled "Why Kelly Hannah is the Greatest Realtor on Earth," but I just don't have the time at the moment. My wife and I had very different ideas about what we wanted in a home and somehow Kelly was able to balance our interests and find us the perfect place. Kelly was extremely patient with us, taking us to dozens of properties and often bending over backwards to show us homes the moment they popped onto the market. It was Kelly's immediate action that enabled us to secure the home we ultimately purchased. In addition to his responsiveness and tireless work ethic, Kelly showed that his business sense, experience and personal knowledge in the industry are unparalleled. We had to compete against multiple offers for our home and I wasn't feeling too optimistic about our chances, but we trusted Kelly and, of course, he handled it masterfully. As much as I dislike the house-hunting process, Kelly somehow made the whole experience enjoyable for us. Without hesitation, I highly recommend his services to anyone who is searching for a home. Thanks Kelly!
— Zillow client
Kelly has been AMAZING to work with. He is seemingly on the lookout for ways to help us make smart decisions, brings a lot of valuable insight to every house we look at. He has already made several selfless decisions (where he could have easily pushed us to buy quick and help him get his cut). I thoroughly enjoy walking through these houses with him and would recommend him to anyone out there!
— Tyler O., Google
Meticulous attention to detail. Kelly provided a comprehensive assessment of the current real estate market in our chosen search area, negotiated effectively with sellers, and created a positive, welcoming environment. He was always prompt and kept us well informed throughout the entire purchasing process. I know exactly who I will choose as my realtor in the future: Kelly Hannah. He rocks!
— Joshua A., Google
We loved working with Kelly! We especially appreciated how he helped us complete a thorough inspection and gather bids for the necessary work, which made us much better prepared for negotiations as buyers.
— Mary S., Google
Kelly truly cares about his customers, and always went above and beyond to help our transaction go smoothly. He's very knowledgeable and will help you avoid pitfalls, resulting in the best value for you and your family. We couldn't recommend him highly enough!
— John L., Google
We met Kelly and knew instantly we wanted him to be our realtor! He is absolutely amazing and very detail oriented, which sold me! His follow up consistently made our home buying a breeze! Thank you Kelly for all the hard work, time and effort! For anyone in the Salt Lake area looking for a great realtor, I recommend Kelly Hannah! Thank you again!
— Heather, Zillow
Never had a realtor (Kelly Hannah) work so hard for us. He was helpful and very knowledgeable every step of the way with finding us a home.

Kelly was awesome to work with. I highly recommend him.

Clients Who Keep coming Back
"He did such a great job that I went back to him eight years later."
I've worked with Kelly on four real estate transactions, most recently selling a home as well as helping me buy a new one. He's my first and only call. He's professional, he follows through on every detail (not every agent does this!), and he brings wisdom and insight based on his experience. He's a decent, honest human being and he has earned my trust.
— Zillow client
Kelly is a delight to work with. He has assisted us with four transactions, three purchases and one sale. He listens, takes in what you say, and works to find a property that fits your needs. He is also honest and does not sugar coat deficiencies in a property just to make a sale. He is very knowledgeable about the SLC and ski area markets, and I highly recommend him to both buyers and sellers.
— Forrest B., Google
Kelly has helped me purchase two homes. The first was a condo, and he did such a great job that I went back to him eight years later when my wife and I wanted to purchase a house. He really knows the area well, paid great attention to our needs and desires and was such a pleasure to work with. His follow up after the purchase is wonderful and really helps make the transition from house to home. I recommend him regularly to those around me because he's done such a great job for my family, and I recommend him to you too!
— Zillow client
Kelly of Eightline Real Estate is efficient, knowledgeable, and really fast! Kelly will have you purchasing/selling in record time (we used him for both processes, and our house was only on the market one day before it sold). It only took us one trip out viewing about 5 houses before we decided on one and had put in an offer (and we got it!). I have had the luxury of using Kelly's expertise to buy not only my first home (1999), but my second one too (2016)! I can attest to his knowledge and resources (he can put you in touch with anyone that might be involved with your purchase or sale — inspectors, subcontractors, etc.). He will follow up with every detail in whatever format you like (email, text, phone). We were thrilled that nearly all of the paperwork was done via email with electronic signatures, which had us selling our house and in our new one in just over a month. I would recommend and highly suggest Kelly and Eightline Real Estate. Thank you Kelly! (And any of your associates that were involved in the process.)
— Zillow client
Kelly Hannah of Eightline Real Estate is pure gold for a buyer. (I've never worked with him as a seller, but I know they love him too!) Kelly is a true professional — so well-informed; so active in promoting the buyer's interests! I have worked with Kelly on TWO home purchases. Both times, he demonstrated the highest interest in great customer service. He is very active and willing to schedule showings "on the fly," when the market calls for it! I NOW consider Kelly a friend. Such. A. Good. Guy! I would refer any friend or family member to Kelly Hannah of Eightline Real Estate to be their collaborative partner in buying or selling a home. Thanks, Kelly!

Kelly Hannah. Great real estate agent or greatest real estate agent ever? Kelly helped us buy our first house in 9th and 9th and got us into exactly the house we were looking for — not an easy task when I'm 6'7" and most homes in 9th and 9th and Sugar House area have half their square footage in a basement. We were new to the area as well and Kelly helped introduce us to some great people. Now Kelly is working with us as we sell our first house and purchase a second home so we can be closer to my wife's work in Utah County. Kelly has handled this complex situation seamlessly. Again, we're in the house that has everything we want at a price we can afford, while also getting the best deal for our current house. Kelly goes above and beyond in every way possible — and many ways you never knew you needed help! Thanks for everything Kelly, you're part of what makes living in Utah special!
— Stacy B., Google
Kelly helped us buy our first home, recently helped us sell that home and is currently helping us find our next home. Kelly always goes above and beyond all of our expectations for a real estate agent. Kelly is very responsive, clearly knows the market, communicates a clear strategy from the beginning, and somehow always found time for me, even on short notice. We couldn't be happier with our choice to work with Kelly Hannah again and I would highly recommend using him for any real estate needs.
— Zillow client
I have purchased two homes using Kelly as my Realtor each time. Kelly has a finger on the pulse of the market and the nuances of each neighborhood. He is easily reachable and is always available for a quick response to any questions or concerns you may have. Personally Kelly is an easy, calm, friendly person to be around and to work with. Unlike some Realtors, he never pushes you to make a snap decision. I feel he's a good listener and never offers unsolicited advice. I would certainly recommend working with Kelly to anyone.
— Zillow client
Eightline and Kelly Hannah provided us with premier services. We've used them multiple times. Kelly is the consummate professional — he's smart, knows a lot about everything, and guided us competently and carefully through the whole process, giving us sage and mature advice at every turn. I recommend him wholeheartedly and without reservation. Thank you, Kelly!
— Christopher L., Google
We have worked with Kelly on multiple properties and couldn't ask for a better agent. His experience and knowledge was instrumental in our recent sale. Great patience has been shown in the process of looking for our next home also. Simply the best out there!
— Zillow client
Kelly Hannah sold me a condo and 6 years later sold my condo. Just superior in both finding and selling. Thank you Kelly.

Out-Of-Town Clients
"Kelly made it very easy touring through Zoom and videos of the houses."
Kelly and his group went above and beyond in helping me sell my home. He offered great market analysis, great advice, and even better service. As an out-of-state seller, he provided on the ground support when I couldn't be there, and it really made all the difference. My house sold quickly and at a higher price point than I anticipated, and I couldn't have done it without Eightline and Kelly.
— Olivia A., Google
Kelly was recommended by a close friend and we are so glad she did! We are out of town buyers and it was difficult to purchase without seeing the house in person, but Kelly made it very easy touring through Zoom and videos of the houses. The stress of purchasing a house in this market with multiple offers every time was beyond overwhelming. Kelly helped us through this process and made recommendations that helped us secure a home!!! He was available every step of the way and we are very thankful for having such a great real estate agent :)
— Winny F., Google
It was a pleasure working with Kelly to find an apartment for our daughter! Throughout the process, he was a trusted partner for us as we considered multiple properties before settling on one that will both serve her well while at the U, but also for years to come after that. Kelly's knowledge and insights on the local market — and his suggestions for how to structure the transaction — were vital to our finding and closing on the right place. Along the way, he also provided valuable advice as we considered issues like deferred maintenance and relative HOA costs. We'd gladly work with him again on future transactions and highly recommend him for his knowledge, customer focus, and attention to detail!

Investors and Complex Deals
"He has helped me with zoning issues, he has helped me with tax issues, he has helped me with banking issues."
Kelly and Eightline have exceeded our expectations. We have purchased several properties over the last 25 years, and have grown accustomed to the level of attention that most Realtors deliver. Kelly Hannah has literally blown us away. We could not be happier with the amount of follow through, the attention to detail, and the consistency in communication he has delivered?! He was able to do more for us than any other realtor ever has. He saved us by insisting upon a sewer line inspection, in which a break in the line was detected, and the seller was forced to fix or pay for the repair prior to closing. He was able to locate, within hours, the original plans of the sewer line, filed in 1923!!, which helped us to navigate what could have been a very sticky situation with the neighbor, whose sewer line tied into ours, and had this not been verifiable, would have resulted in an even bigger problem. He follows through. He is friendly. And we are grateful for his high standards and the level of professionalism that he applies to taking care of his clients. If you want a realtor who will work, actually WORK for you, then look no further than Eightline and Kelly Hannah.

I can not say enough good things about my choice to have Kelly be my real estate agent. He has helped me enormously with all my real estate needs over the last 9 years, and those needs have been substantial. He was my buying agent when I purchased my first residence in Salt Lake in 2004. He was again my buyer's agent for two separate investment properties in 2005 and 2008. He then found us our second home, as our family grew in 2015. He continues to work with me as a selling agent, as I am in the beginning stages of selling one of my two investment properties. I use Kelly again and again because I have never been the least bit disappointed in any aspect of the process when he is involved. What strikes me most about Kelly is his unwavering willingness to go above and beyond the duties of an agent. He has helped me with zoning issues, he has helped me with tax issues, he has helped me with banking issues, he has even helped me with issues I have encountered with my own investment partners. I also lean on Kelly when I need referrals to other professionals, such as attorneys and insurance agents. His vast and comprehensive understanding of real estate, his optimistic and calm manner, and his ability to patiently break down difficult issues into fixable issues have made him the perfect choice for me. Do not hesitate to choose him as your agent.

Kelly is incredibly knowledgeable and informed about the current market and he knows properties that are valuable and properties that are not, even if those are not the properties you might think they are, Kelly knows. I was looking for an investment opportunity and when we very first started the process I asked Kelly to tell me if he thought this property had value and potential even if it wasn't one that I thought might be the best. We looked at a lot of properties and we actually had a lot of fun doing so and we enjoyed looking around at everything that was available in my price point. We finally found a property that was in my price range that really had everything that we had been looking for but for some reason I was hesitant about it. Kelly believed that there was value in the property and that it was worth the asking price and possibly more and so we got an appraisal done. The house ended up appraising for much more than we were going to pay for the property. My lender told me that it is incredibly rare, especially in this current market, to be able to get anything below what it appraises for and usually houses are going for much more than they actually appraise for. Kelly helped me do what I needed to do and he knew what he was doing and what needed to be done. If you are looking for real estate do yourself a huge favor and hire Kelly.

Kelly Hannah at Eightline helped us sell our house as well as purchase property to build on. He was beyond helpful in helping us get ready for the sale and negotiate offers once it was listed. When it came time to buying property Kelly listened to all of our wants and let us know of a few needs that we were not aware of. It really pays to have someone this savvy in your corner with today's market.

Hi, I am working with Kelly while looking for a home or rental property in Salt Lake City. Working with Kelly is a pleasure; he is intelligent, punctual and a clear communicator. He listens well and brings appropriate properties to my attention. His property assessments are impartial and insightful. He is familiar with the "like kind" exchange process and has recommended other professionals to ensure that it is done correctly.
