Kitty is a tiger! She represented us on the sale of our home and did SO MUCH MORE than just "list the house". She was our friendly and professional coach during the process and enabled us to present our home most attractively to the market. With Kitty's years of east-side experience, she knows what the market wants and helped us prepare our home for sale accordingly. She has a wealth of readily available resources and knowledge. The contractors at her prompt disposal are professional, great to work with and reasonably priced. Her web and photography resources presented our home beautifully and attracted many prospects.Kitty is responsive and we could always reach out... once she gave us an important update from a wedding she was attending! The customer comes first with Kitty! We felt, with Kitty, we were always a team.When we hit the market, Kitty made sure we were listed on the MLS, Zillow and all the usual sites including some in Asia. Her casting-a-wide-net approach put us in a multiple-offer situation.Kitty is a dealmaker! When our first offer came in, she immediately contacted all other parties and sparked competition and a higher offer. She worked the deal, kept us informed all-along and we accepted a very attractive offer almost $100/sqft above the last nearby comparable sale.Like we said, Kitty is a tiger! We highly recommend Kitty to help you buy or sell your property.

I wish there was a higher rating I could Kitty Ballard she was fantastic every step of the way. This was my 4th time using Kitty Ballard as my real estate agent. I have purchased 2 properties and sold 2 properties through Kitty Ballard. If you are looking for someone who will offer you more then just listing your home or property and brings a wealth of experience and market knowledge to the table, then Kitty Ballard is your agent. You will get the facts and a real estimate of what your property is worth regardless of how poor or good the market is doing. My recent transaction was a little more complicated then your normal selling of a home. This was an estate sale because my mom just passed away and I was the executor of the estate. This changes many things from a normal sale. I am the oldest of 8 children and she had to deal with the tribe and all that goes with the complications of my family. Kitty guided me through the mine field of subcontractors and some of the legal documents required by the attorney and accountant and made sure we listed for the right price in order to attract the greatest number of buyers. The property was in a great location but it was a little odd and Kitty did her magic to overcome the downside of the property and we received 50k over asking. After the sale Kitty did a lot of the little things to ensure the sales went smoothly evidenced by meeting the appraiser to ensure he was able to access the home and he knew what was upgraded and new in the home so he would do a proper appraisal. Stopping by and watering the plants and that all the keys were turned in and accounted for. Additionally, she ensured all parties signed the documents that were emailed to them and that everything was in order. She must work 80 a week for her clients. Anyway Kitty is the best and really knows the market she has worked in for the last 21 years. In short if you want someone who knows the market, will get you top dollar and ensure everything closes on time, then Kitty is your agent. Believe me you will sleep well with Kitty as your agent.

Kitty is a very hard working woman who knows how to get the job done. She is always looking out for her client and knows their best interest. We used Kitty for buying and selling. She was able to get us way over asking price for our house because she priced it right and had us do a few updates that went a long way. For buying she was always available and responsive. She made sure we knew everything about the house so there were no surprises. I would recommend Kitty because she is thorough and will make sure that you get what you want.

Kitty was absolutely the best realtor for our situation. We are out of area and had just lost our sister and needed to sell her condo before cold weather hit and also to settle her estate. She had excellent ideas to sell the condo in a timely manner, good, reliable, resource people to do the job and she handled it all. Kitty kept us informed of the process every step of the way and was always there to answer our questions. Kitty is a genuinely nice lady, and is very easy to talk to. The condo went on the market Thursday and we settled on an excellent cash offer the next week. Thanks to Kitty Ballard for helping to make it all happen.

Kitty is such a pleasure to work with! She is knowledgeable and goes out of her way to make sure you have all of the information that you need and feel comfortable in every step of the way. She makes sure to ask what you are looking for and what you would like to avoid and definitely works on making sure you understand everything before she proceeds. Works with your budget, and wish lists that you may have as well. What can I say I would highly recommend her to family & friends!!

Kitty was recommended to us by a mutual acquaintance, and is obviously a knowledgeable, capable agent. We were in the early stages of working with her when she did something highly unusual: she put us together with a different agent in her office. (Steve Harwood, Windermere in Bellevue, Washington aEUR" please see our review for him as well.)Kitty already knew we were in the process of applying for a VA loan, and she also knew that there are subtleties to VA loans that need to be taken into account during the negotiation process. As those subtleties began to have an impact, she ultimately decided that we would be better off working with Steve directly rather than having his insights filtered through a third party.Few agents willingly give up business, and in our view Kitty deserves kudos for recognizing the issue and making the right decision for her clients. If we hadnt been focused on a VA loan, we would have been delighted to work with her. Buyers looking in the Seattle area should definitely consider her aEUR" we had enough contact with her to recommend her with confidence.

Kitty is amazing! She is hard working and has great insight on what is needed to get home ready for sale. She has contacts and was able to get house on market very quickly.

Kitty was all of those things above but also very encouraging during the process, and extremely helpful when certain unforeseen issues came up. She is very thoughtful and was always there for us. She helped make our move a reality.
