I am over two years late here, but I had to make a Yelp to review for Kathy. As first time buyers my husband and I were very nervous beginning the process. Our first agent (before Kathy) took us out for one day to view a handful of houses, and although we made clear we were not ready to put an offer on anything, she called us later that day and strongly encouraged us to not only put an offer on a house we were somewhat interested in, but that she needed the "highest and best" offer, that night. She either didn't listen to us or didn't want to keep going out with us, we are still not sure. So we decided to find someone else. We found Kathy and we are still counting our lucky stars. Her experience and knowledge showed immediately when she took us out the first day. Always listening, always attentive, she knew exactly what our plans were and interpreted our temperament precisely. She notices so many things that are so valuable to see when you are selecting a home, anything she is concerned about she brings up to you. I cannot stress how great it made us feel that she was so patient with us. She really takes the time to teach you and help you understand more about the process and the type of house that fits you best. After 3 months and the sixtieth house we viewed with her, I admit I started to feel a little bad taking up so much time, but we found THE ONE and although I had nothing to compare it to at the time, I did talk to other buyers among my family and friends and they agreed that my process could not have gone any smoother or faster once we found the right house. I could write an essay about how awesome she is. Do yourself a huge favor and go with Kathy. We found the perfect house and have been in it for over two years now and we could not be happier. We were so impressed by Kathy, she just goes above and beyond. read more
