We were not…read moresure where to start, given this was our first home, and Kate was there on day one to guide us through the process worry-free. She was very clear and super easy to talk to about all of the steps of the home-buying process and we never felt lost or unable to ask a question. I would give Kate an absolute 10/10 and would recommend her to anyone who asked for an agent.

Kate is an amazing agent: Smart, experienced, attentive, witty, and kind…read more We worked with her in May/June 2021 and had an amazing experience. We thoroughly vetted her before working with her, and she stood head and shoulders above anyone else we considered. So many buyers have struck out in this housing market, but with Kate's guidance our first offer was accepted, and she skillfully helped us navigate every step until we closed on our house. Looking to buy your first house is overwhelming, but Kate made it easy and fun. She has a great intuition for how hands- on or hands- off an agent you need. She was infinitely knowledgeable about the SOMA area--not just for real estate purposes, but restaurants to try, tradesperson recommendations, and more. She was always available by text, email, and phone and answered all our (many!) questions; when she didn't know something, she was very honest and would look up the answer or point us to someone who could help. Her unofficial team of inspectors, lawyers, etc. were also top notch. We highly recommend working with Kate--not only is she a stellar agent, but a fun person with a great sense of humor!

Amy Paternite is hands down the best real estate agent we could have asked for. As first-time…read morebuyers relocating from California to New Jersey, we had no idea what we were getting into but Amy guided us through every step with expertise, patience, and genuine care. We spent six months searching for the right home, and Amy was there for all of it. She met us weekend after weekend (and plenty of weekdays too), touring more than 30 properties with us without ever making us feel rushed or pressured. Her deep knowledge of the local market and her eye for quality helped us evaluate each home thoughtfully, and she made sure we understood exactly what we were considering every time. Amy also connected us with an amazing support team who were all incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the process. It felt like we had a whole group of experts working on our behalf, which was such a relief as new buyers in an unfamiliar area. Beyond her professional skills, Amy is just a wonderful person and now a friend! She's warm, encouraging, and easy to talk to. She made what could have been a stressful experience actually enjoyable.

If you need someone who's knowledgeable, dedicated, and genuinely invested in finding you the right home, don't hesitate to reach out to Amy. We're so thankful we did!
