I cannot say enough great things about Cathy!!! One thing I have definitely learned, buying a home for the first time IS HARD. It is a lot of research, a lot of time, a lot of financial conversations, a lot of personal family conversations, and is even more orchestration than a wedding. Having someone guide us through this process that is aware of all the challenges and can be there for us not just from a client-relationship standpoint, but also understand how personal and intimate this decision was for us was HUGE. Our home search was almost a year long because we are SO particular, but Cathy was always patient with us and guided us through the process from start to closing. When we were searching around for the right agent, Cathy's meet and greet presentation shed so much light on the massive process, but was also straightforward and easy to understand. We felt very secure in moving forward with her right away. After our search began, we only gained more peace of mind as we worked more with Cathy. She is so well-organized, proactive, responsive and fought the good fight for us every time. Escrow was the most challenging and fragile part of the process since we purchased our home during COVID times, we knew anything could happen, timelines were unsure, but that our hearts were already invested so any fallout would be a huge heartbreak. Because of Cathy, we had solid relationships with all involved parties throughout and we were able through all inspections and negotiations, not only on time, but early! We closed as if it was any other time and now are officially homeowners of our forever dream home! Cathy has changed our lives for the better and we cannot be more grateful :) I cannot recommend Cathy enough and can't wait to refer her to friends and family so they can all have the same smooth and quality experience we did. read more

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!!! She wore a mask every single time and she always had gloves and hand sanitizer for us. read more

With Kim's help, we were able to sell our old house and buy a new one. I would strongly suggest her for your real estate needs since she was excellent. Also, she provides excellent counsel to help you select (and get!) the ideal home for your family and is well-organized, effective, proactive, and highly responsive. Would never ever think about working with anyone else again! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Cathy helped me buy a second investment home in Huntington Beach. She went above and beyond in my hunt. She didn't just set me up on an MLS search. She would email me new listings that weren't even on the market yet! Whenever I had a question she was super quick to respond, even at odd hours. I really felt like I had a partner helping me find the right place to buy. I couldn't have asked for a better Realtor. I would highly recommend her! read more

Absolutely fabulous realtor! Helped me purchase a pocket listed multi-unit dwelling in south orange county. You cannot go wrong with Catherine. She put me in touch with a lender who worked quickly on a tight time frame. read more

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. read more

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! read more

We met Catherine during an open house in South San Francisco. She followed up on a daily basis with new listings in the area.

She is an excellent agent for anyone looking to buy a house in this crazy market. read more

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! read more

I highly recommend Cathy! read more

I met Gohar and Catherine at a wine and cheese open house in my neighborhood and expressed to them, the desire to sell my vacant ocean view Lot in South Laguna Beach. From that point on, they were proactive, professional and made me feel like they genuinely cared about my best interests, every step of the way. With initially explaining their recommended Listing and Marketing Strategy as well as taking time to connect with me on a regular basis regarding updates, these ladies lead the charge and helped navigate me throughout the Selling process. I ultimately felt like the New Coast Living team's number one priority and felt reassurance knowing I was in caring and competent hands. read more
