What clients say about this agent....
Katrena was fantastic from start to finish. Not only did she sell our property for the amount we had hoped for, but she really worked hard on the presale process. I do not live in the area and she managed the process from start to finish. She helped untangle an unexpected title issue, and recommended competent legal advisors. She recommended economical improvements on the home to maximize profit. She also managed the team who helped us make updates. Once the home was ready to sell, her marketing and sales strategy proved to be very effective and achieved the results we had hoped for. We hired Katrena based on her experience in the area. I highly recommend working with Katrena, she is professional, knowledgeable, experienced, ethical and kind.
Katrena was an absolute pleasure to work with!! She was kind, knowledgeable, patient, responsive, an excellent negotiator, and supported us throughout the process!! I cannot recommend her enough!!
Katrena Prior with Maddox Realty was recommended to me by a coworker that had nothing but good things to say about her. After meeting her I knew she was the right person for the job in aiding my brother and I through the process of selling our fathers home as he had to move into a carehome due to medical issues. I couldnt agree more with my coworker after the full process of getting the house on the market and sold in a very timely matter. As soon as she saw the house she had a vision and a full plan on how to market it from what should be done to it to make it appealing to show to potential buyers, getting the inspections completed, and how to market it with a planned timeline. Everything was seamless and pretty much on schedule. She takes her job serious and is very professional about it but at the same time she is very personal sondeal with and treats your family and home as if it was parts of hers. I would definitely recommend to anyone to consider her to help market or buy your next home
Katrena represented us as a buyer's agent and we had a great experience. She's knowledgeable, quick to respond, and does a great job explaining the process to first-time home buyers. We'd highly recommend her!
tl;dr Do yourself a favor and stop looking. I highly doubt you will find an agent better than Katrena Prior. Initial Impressions I first met Katrena in person when she was helping my parents look for a new place. She had already earned a very favorable opinion from them, and they are not easy to please. I was tagging along to offer my viewpoint to my parents and while chatting casually to Katrena, I mentioned that we would soon be selling our home and buying elsewhere. Any other agent in the world would have asked if we had representation (which we didnt) and pushed their card into my hands. Not Katrena. She was there for my parents, not herself, so her focus remained firmly on the task at hand. This focus on her clients' needs became a dominant theme throughout our relationship with Katrena. I watched from the sidelines as she quarterbacked two very smooth transactions, first selling my parents home and then helping them buy another. They got more than they had hoped when they sold and a fair price for their new place without getting into a bidding war. Our Experience When it came time for us to sell our home and buy a new one, Katrena was the obvious first stop. Here are the things that stand out about Katrena... aEURc Communication aEUR" She is easy to talk to, explains things clearly and concisely, and sets detailed and realistic expectations every step of the way. aEURc Client-Centric aEUR" She truly has your best interest at heart and isnt hesitant about declining an offer or walking away from a showing that doesnt meet your bar. aEURc Dedication aEUR" She will work her butt off for you day and night to get the best deal. I mean it. She has replied to our emails and texts at almost every hour of every day, including holidays! aEURc Network aEUR" Her Rolodex is packed with all sorts of fantastic vendors from gardeners to stagers to painters to cleaners. Everyone she recommended was top-notch. She even shopped for additional quotes unprompted and saved us significant money. aEURc Negotiation Skills aEUR" She is a truly gifted negotiator and has a knack for reading people. She got us way (I mean WAY) more than we had hoped for our home and then turned around and helped us get the perfect place for a very competitive price. Some might argue this was luck, but shes now four-for-four between my parents and us. As she puts it, she didnt make the rules, but she knows how to play the game. Final Thoughts The relationship goes way beyond the sale or purchase. She is happy and willing to provide ongoing support if you ever need a vendor recommendation or advice about the home. Its truly like having a friend whos a realtor that you can always reach out to for suggestions. Needless to say, we will be calling Katrena first if we ever sell our home. However, we are so happy with our new home that I suspect she will sadly be long retired by the time we require her services again.
Katrena Prior was an exceptional real estate agent for my fiancA(C) and I! As young first time homebuyers, Katrena walked us through every step of the way and was very knowledgeable about the entire process and the local area. She kept in constant communication with us and was very professional and friendly. She helped us find our dream home and we couldn't be happier with our experience with Katrena and Maddox Real Estate/RealtyONE Group.
Katrina is an awesome agent, she went above an beyond, my family's expectations. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who's thinking about buying or selling a home, she's helped my family with both, on two separate occasions. 5 Stars all across the board. She's like family at this point. Would highly recommend Katrina any day of the week. Thank you Katrina for all that you done for me and my family.
I was able to work with Katrena back in 2019 when the housing market was much calmer and was able to purchase my home with no significant issues. Fast forward to 2023, with this volatile and unpredictable market, Katrena helped my partner and I sell that home but also secure an offer for a dream home in Vacaville. The process was intense and emotionally draining, so many unpredictable factors got sent our way, my partner and I were thrust into unfamiliar and intense situations regarding navigating this experience while working full time. Katrena was there every step of the way and provided hands on guidance to work through challenges and pitfalls. As someone who struggles with anxiety, I do not like when elements are completely outside of my control. Unfortunately, the housing market does not care about my feelings, and so there were many times when we would look to Katrena for help and assistance with selling, securing an offer, finding prospective buyers and navigating through multiple open houses. I can confidently say, looking back on it, that Katrena was a pillar of trust and support for both myself and my partner. She answered our questions without judgement, she celebrated our wins with us and she picked up the pieces when we felt drained and disappointed. This housing market will not always be consistent or stable, but you can find a realtor who is. Thank you so much Katrena for your ongoing support.
We were extremely lucky to pick Katrena as our real estate agent. She accomplished the sale of our existing property and the purchase of a new one with great skill and professionalism. Although she has many attributes which make her great at her job, I think the thing that impressed us most was the way she always listened to us. Although she is extremely knowledgeable about the buying and selling process and about the local area, she always wanted the decisions to be ours. If you need someone to represent you in the sale of your home or to help you find and secure a new one, we can unreservedly recommend Katrena.
My husband and I were introduced to Katrena through a mutual friend. Not only did she help this friend get into their home but she also helped us find our first home that we love so much. She is incredibly knowledgeable of the area and is also very honest and straightforward when it came to good or bad things while house hunting. We would recommend her to anyone!
