Working with Kathy on an exchange as both a seller and buyer has been an amazing journey with some ups and downs, but she demonstrated adaptability and professionalism when pivoting was needed. Also, greatly appreciate her personal and timely approach throughout the process, providing relevant insights and expert guidance. Thankful we had a friend in common that recommended her!

I met Kathy through Zillow about a year ago and she connected me immediately to understand how she can help. My partner and I are first time home buyers, and we had no idea what the steps are, but she made the experience super comfortable by guiding us at many critical moments throughout the whole process. She also has multiple connections and different resources that she could provide to her clients to facilitate the process. Even though we were not fully ready to place any offers financial wise when we first met but she still provided her best advice and service. When we were finally ready to dive back in, luckily it didnt took us too long to find out perfect home, and she played a crucial role in helping us navigate the journey. I would highly recommend everyone to work with Kathy for your home buying journey as this wasnt only a purchase for us but also a great lasting relationship.

Kathy is a shining star! As two public school employees in the Bay Area looking for a SFH the slice of real estate within our price range was minuscule, but Kathy coached us to closing on the deal of a lifetime! We have a water view, a generous lot, welcoming neighbors, and a checkmark next to our biggest life goal to date. Of course talent attracts talent, so everyone in her circle--her lender, etc--was top notch and always took the time to explain our options every step of the way. That said, there was never any pressure, and we were encouraged to explore our own contacts as well, hers just happened to be the best. I don't want to sugarcoat things, this is the Bay Area and you need to pay to play, but Kathy will give you the best possible chance of getting the most for your money. We were bracing for a house we didn't love, in a neighborhood we didn't love, for a price we didn't love, but with her strategy and market knowledge we flipped each one of those criteria! This new climate of signing a buyer's agreement can add another layer of anxiety to an already intense process, but I'd encourage you to sign-on with Kathy and go win! We're so thankful we did :)

Kathy did an amazing job helping us with our purchase. We met some terrible real estate agents along the way, some that would not leave you alone for a few minutes or a few feet away in the home they were showing. But Kathy is different. She is amazing. Kathy is an encyclopedia of Bay Area real estate knowledge, from the property locations, to the disclosure reports. She definitely does her due diligence in research, learning, and sharing the knowledge to educate her clients. She was willing to go above and beyond for us to find the perfect home. Kathy displays not only expertise in her field, but patience with her clients to make decisions that are best for them. She will listen to your wants and needs, and most importantly, be realistic with you as a client. She understands the process and how important of a purchase this was for us. Kathy was amazing with follow up, response, and negotiation. We 100% recommend her if you are in the market for a new home.
