What clients say about this agent....
Kathy is a true professional and there?s no one who knows the dynamics of Montclair real estate market (which is unique to its own) better! She?s attentive, thorough and has a connection to remove every problem. This was our second transaction with her and it was just as pleasant and fruitful as the first. Couldn?t recommend her more!
If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I could not imagine going through this process with anyone else. As a first time home buyer Kathy took the time to make us feel at ease along every step of the way. Kathy was great to me ten years ago when I first looked at buying a home (in a much lower price range at that!) and was equally as amazing with me and my fiancee today. I think that says a lot about a real estate agent when they offer up equal expertise regardless of where you are looking and at what dollar amount. Kathy connects with her clients and wants to see the best for them. For as long as Kathy is working I would always go to her for anything and everything. She is the best of the best!
Kathy is the person you want finding you a house and selling your house. She is incredibly responsive, approachable and knowledgeable. She represented us for our sale and purchase and we are so lucky to have had her incredible expertise and guidance. She knows the market, she knows what is expected and when things seem off she will fight for you and protect your interest. She knows all aspects of this business and we are so grateful to have used her. I can not say enough great things about my experience with her! Thank you Kathy
Kathy was recommended to me by my lawyer when I had to sell my sisters house after her death. She is wonderful! You definitely want her on your team. I had never lived in the house I was selling and she pointed out all the good and mostly bad things about it. She was so knowledgeable about knob and tube wiring, old fuse boxes and all the current Glen Ridge and NJ regulations. She knows everyone in the industry. She has a contact for every situation. I had been so stressed about the house sale until I realized she was in control. All her recommendations paid off. We had to sell the house as is and due to the strong market we were able to sell it at a price I never thought possible. You will never regret selecting her. She is a joy to work with, one of the best in her field and is always there for you. We were constantly in touch. I will recommend her to everyone.
We started our home buying search during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2021. The market was absolutely bananas. Initially, we had no idea what we were doing, but once we started working with Kathy, she was able to guide and provide us extremely good advice. It took a while in the crazy housing market, but Kathy helped get us a home in Glen Ridge after a long search! Kathy is extremely honest, patient and a pleasure to work with. As first time home buyers her knowledge of the current market was invaluable. If the time arises in the future, we would definitely work with Kathy again.
Kathy has represented us on two home purchases and one sale. She is exceptional at her job. If issues arise, she has a vast network of reputable professionals to help work through it. She is incredibly patient, thorough, knowledgable and experienced. She has excellent advice and is tremendous in the negotiation process. We loved working with her and would recommend her to anyone!
We recently bought a home in Montclair with Kathy and I can honestly say she made everything so easy for us! This was our first experience purchasing in the region, so naturally we had a lot of questions. Kathy patiently walked us through the various processes at every step of the way and everything just went so smoothly and quickly (we were in a position to close less than a month into our offer). She provided great data so we could make informed decisions and all the contacts she provided proved to be just as excellent as she is. We found our dream home for the right price and we couldnt be happier about the transaction. I would definitely recommend Kathy to all of our friends/family and she will be our go-to person for all of our future real estate needs in the region!! Thank you Kathy and look forward to working with you again.
If you really want to sell your home at the very best price, then call Kathy. She went above and beyond to stage our Bloomfield home, using her own furniture and decorations to make it feel more open and yet also inviting. She also guided us through all the annoying red tape so there would be no last-minutes glitches with the buyer and the town. She also priced my home right so that during our open house weekend we had dozens of viewings and ended up with 15 offers. Our house sold within a week at well above the asking price! Like I said, just call Kathy!
Kathy is an extraordinary realtor! Her experience in this area?s market and attention to every detail, along with her unlimited energy lead to a very successful sale and smooth closing. We were on the same page to strategize for a successful marketing. Scheduling the open house to be one of the earliest in the year, she agreed to have a two day open house in case of a snowy Sunday. The house sold in one weekend, with multiple buyers bidding 22% over list price. There were no issues throughout the process all the way to the closing. Kathy puts all her energy into supporting you; she literally helped stuff remaining items into my closets (in an organized fashion no less) in time for the open house! She was with me every step of the way, setting up a timeline of tasks and prep-work to do before listing the house. She proactively leaves no chance of issues arising before closing by having pre-inspections done. With the use of a professional stager, Kathy brought out the wow factor in my 1920?s colonial home. It was all worth the results. Kathy?s knowledge of the market and industry are an invaluable component of the service she provides. I highly recommend choosing Kathy as your realtor.
Kathy was terrific! She was professional, knowledgeable and supportive throughout the selling process. She was always readily available to help with any questions and to explain the process to us. We valued her expertise and professionalism. We would highly recommend Kathy as a wonderful real estate agent!
