"Our experience with Kathleen as our realtor was awesome! As first time home buyers, she made the whole experience a breeze. Throughout the process, she made sure we had all our questions answered and we were well informed on every home we were interested in. Kathleen's knowledge and experience in real-estate was superb, because of this and her kind demeanor, we always felt we were in good hands. I could not recommend her enough!"

"We started working with Kathleen earlier this year. Now we have a home. This is our first home, and Kathleen guided us through the entire process. She was always very responsive and understanding of our needs. We couldn't have found a better agent for us.
As first time home buyers, we started the home buying process with a list of what we wanted in our ideal home, and that list kept changing throughout the process as market reality sunk in. Kathleen adapted to our ever-changing demands without a problem, showing us houses for sale according to whatever our demands, budget, and locations were at any given time. What we really liked was that she was always available to show us places that had just come up on the market, and so we were often among the first few people to see the place.
We've heard of agents who sometimes frankly and very reasonably advise their client to not make an offer if the chances of that offer being accepted are slim. Not Kathleen; she gave us her opinion but if we really liked a house and wanted to try our luck, she was always willing to write an offer for us regardless of what she thought of our chances of success. We made 3 offers before the one for our new home. She guided us on not only the price but also what other offer terms should be to make the offer attractive.
Kathleen was also a great help during the closing process. She explained things to us every step of the way, communicated with the Seller, our lender, and the closing agent to get things in place, and kept us fully informed.
We're certain to work with her again whenever we next sell or buy a house. " - Nishak

"Kathleen helped me in selling my home in May of 2015. She provided valuable guidance on improvements, as well as coordinated the services to obtain the maximum valuation of the home. As a direct result of all her efforts the home sold within one week, at a price that was significantly above asking. I can unequivocally recommend her services."

As a buyer or seller of property, it is important to work with a Realtor who understands the local market, has experience in negotiating on your behalf and is able to carefully direct the course of your transaction with integrity and professionalism. Additionally, an important edge that Kathleen can provide her clients is her positive reputation with the local Realtors. During competitive offer situations that can be the tipping point in your favor.
