Cathy was amazing to work with and we will definitely work with her in the future. We worked with Cathy for our land purchase in 29 Palms and she stood out from the beginning. She replied quickly and was very informative. She provided us with tips and resources to help us get started. She was there for us throughout the whole process and always made us feel comfortable asking all of our questions. Her patience, reliability, and communication skills are excellent.

Catherine is the best!!! She helped us to find exactly what we were looking for, she never let me give up or just go with whatever was available in the market, she always kept sending me more options. She was always easy to reach, no matter what time or day she will always get back to me immediately. She is also very organized. Definitely the perfect agent to work with, I truly recommend New Coast Living. Now we are the happiest living in our dream house!!!

Cathy and her team were amazing in helping my wife and I find our first home! We originally started the home buying process with out a realtor going to new builds but after a referral to Cathy we met and realized how much she could really help us find the best home for us. We had very specific requirements on what we wanted in a house and were willing to take our time. Cathy was super respectful and not pressuring us to purchase a home. This made me feel relieved and knew that she was genuinely looking for our best interests. We ended up finding a home and Cathy was very responsive and had everything organized during escrow. Usually, we hear of horror escrow stories but ours went very smoothly. Even during the time where we asked the seller to pay for fundamental problems in the house. Thank you Cathy and New Coast Living for helping us get our first home! I definitely will use your company when we look at buying rental properties in the future.

Catherine was amazing! Thorough, extremely professional throughout the whole home buying process. There were so many things that came up that Catherine was on top of every step of the way. She also was very organized and did her due diligence to help us make the best purchase. Her correspondence was unbelievable and that made a huge difference in the whole process.

As a fellow realtor, Ive worked with Cathy not only in a professional capacity but when it came time for my partner and me to purchase property in California, there was no other realtor I would have considered! First, her responsiveness is unmatched aEUR" there was never a time I was unable to get in touch with her and her timing was perfect when spending updates. Secondly, her attention to detail was meticulous! Our deal was complicated and had a lot of moving parts, and her level of organization and detail made things a breeze. She also used an amazing software tool that allowed us to check in on our timeline and see where we were in the process every step of the way. Seriously, just WOW! Third, shes super diligent aEUR" she not only did her homework on the property we purchased but went ABOVE AND BEYOND for us. She researched builders and architects for us, reached out to the city for details regarding building procedures, even dug into the previous property owners' position to understand how we could negotiate the BEST deal. And lastly (but certainly not least), she super personable and always friendly. She was honestly such a JOY to work with (even when we were probably being a little difficult). Anytime I hear of someone looking for a realtor in SoCal, shes definitely TOP of mind, and I would recommend working with her time and time again!

My husband and I have no words to express our gratitude. Cathy was on top of everything since day one. Extremely diligent, responsive, and detail oriented. She made our home buying experience seem like it was the smoothest process. We never had to check or follow up with her - she always had answers a few minutes after (even while away on her honeymoon!!!). New Coastal Living went above and beyond. When Cathy was out of the country we had the pleasure of working with Gohar, her business partner, as well. Increidble service from both of them. Besides helping us find our new house, she reminded us of important side details, recommended vendors and gave us her professional insight. We cant put into words her level of professionalism, other than shes just the best out there. We are homeowners because of her! Thank you so much Cathy!

Catherine Kim is the reason my wife and I own our new home. We were in serious competition with other buyers for the same house, but Catherine's astute negotiating ability and important recommendations were critical in our offer being accepted. What a win! Catherine's attention to detail, super organizational skills, caring attitude, and perseverance were all contributing factors to a successful purchase. This was not our first rodeo, but Catherine has been, BY FAR, the best agent we have ever had the pleasure of working with. I highly recommend Catherine Kim for your real estate needs.

Catherine is so good at what she does. She is super organized and on top of everything, which made our first time home-buying experience so smooth. Not to mention, she is a very genuine person who really cares that you get what you want for your home. She is very easy to talk to and you just feel like you knew each other for a very long time. Definitely recommend her because she is: knowledgeable, responsible and genuine.

My interaction with Catherine was relatively short but that is a good thing since I successfully bought my first home with her in such lightening speed. I was put in touch with Catherine during an off hour on Sunday night while she was spending with her family. She put her family first (which is great!) and still made time to work with me same night to an put an offer on a house I knew I wanted from first sight, that is actually slightly out of her normal Peninsula focus area. The next day she and her team helped me through all the scary paper work for the formal offer. She also gave me advice on what the best offer would look like. Like all Bay Area home, there were other offers and the sellers were taking longer than they had previously told us to make their decisions. Catherine was so diligent that she called the listing agent every hour to check on the progress. Eventually they accepted my offer! After the offer was accepted, Catherine's team also helped me with my interaction with the mortgage broker and was responsive when dates got delayed. She helped give advice when the details seemed obscure. Eventually after what seemed like a roller coaster ride, everything worked out and I moved in my home a few months ago! From my interactions with Catherine I can tell she is an extremely good negotiator -- she is calm, warm, and assertive. Because of her negotiation skills I was able to get my home at the low end of my offer which was actually below asking! This would NOT have happened with anyone else!
