"Our family had the pleasure of working with Katie and her team on the initial purchase and the recent sale of our first home. Katie expertly navigated both transactions with a willingness to educate and address all of our questions and concerns throughout the process. She was especially creative in her approach to marketing and pricing the property given the unprecedented market activity during COVID-19. In anticipation of our next home purchase, I've also been able to leverage Katie's familiarity and wealth of knowledge about the greater San Diego community in addition to her niche expertise around Coronado Island. Katie's warmth and personality make the home buying and sale process enjoyable and I always recommend her to friends and colleagues in the greater San Diego area."

★★★★★
"Katie is hands down the best realtor we’ve ever worked with! She knows the entire San Diego region very well, including the more desirable and less desirable individual pockets in the more urban areas. She is a great communicator and is quick to respond to emails, texts, and calls. Katie is a master negotiator, she knows the correct time to push and pull in negotiations, all while working very well with other agents. As a buyer, having Katie as our realtor, during a seller's market, saved us tens of thousands of dollars. By following her suggestions step by step during the buying process, not only did we beat out multiple other offers on our new property in Point Loma, but she was able to masterfully renegotiate the contract after inspections revealed some major repairs that were needed. During the home buying process, Katie was with us every step of the way, was honest and trustworthy, and gave us the best contacts in the industry to help us navigate the repairs needed on the home. All in all, Katie is a top-notch realtor! If you tend to go for the best when looking for professional services, Katie is it!"

★★★★★
"Katie originally helped me purchase my first condo in the Marina District in 2017. I was so impressed after that transaction with her professionalism and knowledge that when I decided to sell that condo in 2020, I didn't think twice to enlist her services once again. Selling and buying a home simultaneously can be very stressful, but Katie was there to ensure I stayed on track and that I felt supported every step of the way. Prior to putting my condo on the market, Katie made recommendations to add value and attract potential buyers without breaking the bank. Once we went to market, we received and accepted an offer above list price within 3 days - a remarkable feat amid pandemic conditions. With the condo sale out of the way, I set out to find my new, forever home. I had a long list of non-negotiable items (garage, park proximity, upgraded kitchen, etc). Katie took note of these items and only sent me properties that met my criteria. She never became pushy or frustrated with me despite a lack of overall inventory in San Diego. When I wanted to negotiate a cash credit with the seller, she helped me to not lose sight of the big picture and negotiated a significant amount of work to be performed by an approved contractor in lieu of the credit. I couldn't be happier with the guidance she gave me and the ultimate result of the sale. I've heard enough horror stories about other realtors from friends and colleagues to know that Katie is the best in the business - period. She truly wants the best for her clients, and if you listen to her advice, you will be thrilled with the results. I congratulate in advance anyone lucky enough to have Katie on their team!"

★★★★★
"Katie is a trusted professional and savvy negotiator who helped us find our forever home within a very quick deadline we were under because of a 1031 exchange on some commercial property I had ownership in. She immediately understood our complex situation and the importance of the timeline and worked with escrow and the 1031 advisor back in Colorado to ensure that everything was on track and no detail was missed along the way. Katie is extremely well-connected and knowledgable about all aspects of real estate. She has our highest respect and we would definitely use her again!"

★★★★★
"We reached out to Katie mid pandemic to help sell our house. She was able to quickly get comps and pricing ideas together for us and an easy to read book she put together. It was really nice to have reference of homes in the area that were for sale and an idea of where we should list the house. Katie was not pushy when it came to our list price and we got what we were looking for in two weeks! Katie was always available for any questions we had along the way. She was able to help us smoothly close the deal remotely as we were driving across the country to our next destination. I would highly recommend Katie Herrick for any of your real estate needs."

★★★★★
"Katie Herrick is an excellent realtor! We came from Maryland a year ago and were unfamiliar with real estate here in San Diego. Katie's knowledge of the area along with ALL the details of buying and selling was very, very helpful. She quickly got a feel for what we were looking for and provided us with many possibilities and tours. She was very patient with us as we kept changing our minds as to where we wanted to live, and how much we wanted to spend! Once we found what we wanted, she walked us through the voluminous paperwork associated with buying property. After we bought a, we hired her to sell the condo unit that we had bought a year ago. And she did an amazing job of that too. Another important aspect of her business is that she has assembled an excellent team of people! Knowledgeable, personable, helpful throughout the process. Katie's the best!"

★★★★★
"Katie and her team guided me through my first home-buying experience, and I couldn't have asked for a smoother process. Communication was frequent, open, professional, and efficient. Katie was very responsive to all of my questions and spent time with me to tour multiple properties on multiple dates. She had a great home mortgage broker recommendation and worked as a great team. I couldn't have asked for a better first-time home-buying experience!"

★★★★★
"We've purchased properties twice with Katie now, the first being our primary residence and most recently an investment property. Katie was a fantastic advocate for us both times and an investor-friendly realtor as well. She's an excellent negotiator and has managed to get both our properties well under asking value even in this crazy hot market. Highly recommend!"

★★★★★
"Katie is Amazing! When we first met Katie we were not quite ready to list or buy and she was very patient and understanding while still providing us with the information we needed to make informed decisions for our future. She wasn't pushy with us, which we loved! When were ready, she strategized with us so we always felt part of the process and continued to keep us informed every step of the way. Once we found our dream home she was tenacious in getting all the pieces to fall into place. Her skill and strategy along with her tireless work ethic made our dream home a reality and we are forever grateful!"

★★★★★

★★★★★
"Stop looking, this is your realtor! I just purchased a condo in Little Italy with Katie’s help and I cannot recommend her enough! From our first conversation, I could tell she was looking out for my best interest. She used her impressive level of experience to help me find exactly the place I was looking for. She goes above and beyond with little details in her communication. Everything was very easy with Katie. I highly recommend it."
