Selling Agent

Selling my home of 35 years would have been a stressful process without Mary Kauftheil. Mary was an excellent agent that understood the market, and helped me focus on the aspects that would show my house to its best advantage. Mary was professional, detailed oriented, honest, and a pleasure to work with! Mary has a considerable number of trades people at her fingertips. She helped me coordinate the work that needed to be done meeting all deadlines. Mary cares passionately about her job, her clients and their homes. Once on the market everything was seamless, and my house sold immediately for above the asking price! I recommend Mary Kauftheil 100%!

Best Agent (mike drop!)

We highly recommend working with Mary. She coached us through the selling process, telling us plainly what we should consider in our decision-making. Her recommendations helped us get top dollar for our home. > She gave instructions for what we needed to do to the house to have it ready for sale (our expectations were a move-in-ready home) > She helped us with full disclosures of the property so there were no hiccups during escrow > We worked hard to get ready, and Mary's efforts in staging and coordinating the sale with buyers, vendors, and inspectors were as great as our own, she worked as a partner in preparation in the sale > She recommended a listing price that would gain interest in the market, and we had substantial bidding results > She was the reason our sale closed efficiently without errors We made a decision early in the process to listen to Mary's wisdom and not get in the way of what she does best, and she proved to be the best. We trust her fully. It felt like she was a vested partner in the sale, and now she is like family to us. We would have her as a life-long agent except we moved out of California.

Outstanding Service that goes above and beyond.

Mary was our obvious choice to sell our house. Having seen what she had done in our area with local house sales, we knew we wanted Mary. She walked us through the process, and made recommendations we never thought of, to be "Sell ready". From start to finish, we were updated almost daily, and arranged everything to make the process stress free. We sold within 4 days, well above what we thought we would get. I highly recommend Mary when it comes time to sell, she is professional and knowleable when it comes to real estate and what the market is doing. You won't be disappointed and you will gain a friend for life.

Janie is knowledgeable in regards to the market in our area

Janie is knowledgeable in regards to the market in our area. Janie is courteous, attentive and professional. We needed help getting the house and yard cleaned up before the first open house, and Janie knew who to call in order to get the jobs done. Janie got the house sold and closed escrow with no issues.

Our selling experience

Mary, our listing agent, was most professional every step of the selling process……..from start to finish in less than a month; simply amazing! Mary took ownership of our home, personally handled every detail and always kept us informed without once having to call her for status or feedback Mary diligently worked closely with the buyer’s agent to ensure a smooth process and documenting every step to avoid any misunderstanding eliminating surprises. Mary’s financial and legal knowledge was very important to us ensuring every step complied with the law, rules and regulations. Mary also dealt directly with buyer’s lending institutions to make sure offers submitted were financially sound. Our full trust In Mary to lead the charge was well placed. Mary was a pleasure to work with and highly recommend her

Janie was absolutely amazing! She worked tirelessly until my husband and I were officially moved in

Janie was absolutely amazing! She worked tirelessly until my husband and I were officially moved in to our new home. Janie is the type of agent that really listens to and hears her clients. While she was extremely helpful in offering her professional advice, she looked for the things that we had explicitly said we wanted. Buying a home during the summer of 2021 was difficult enough because of the way the market was, we were so lucky to have Janie representing us in such a competitive and crazy market. She was extremely professional and responsive, and her hard word took all of the stress of buying a house off of our shoulders, which is exactly what you want in an agent! Not only that but she was very knowledgeable, familiar with all Bay Area cities, small towns, and neighborhoods, and she did not rest until we were comfortably moved in. As young, first time homebuyers, this experience is really intimidating but Janie made it so straight forward and fun! We couldn't be more happy with the work Janie did for us and we're so in love with our beautiful new home! We highly, highly recommend Janie to all homeowners and homebuyers! We will definitely be using her again for all future home sales/purchases!

Janie was absolutely wonderful

Janie was absolutely wonderful. She was very patient, respectful and caring during an emotional time selling our family home of 40+ years. We used her amazing team of painters, contractors stagers and photographers. Janie was meticulous in her communication, provided excellent advise throughout the process and developed such beautiful marketing material we had multiple offers above ask within 48 hours of MLS! Working with Janie was exactly who we needed during this life changing transition and I highly recommend her for your real estate needs.

Mary if FANTASTIC

Mary helped me purchase my home in Walnut Creek. She is terrific. I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend her. I rave about her to any I know who is buying or selling a home. She was very aggressive in getting me a great price, in getting concessions after the inspection, and in working at a lightning fast pace to get repair people in. She worked her rolodex to call the best repair people and mortgage broker in the county. In one case where the vendor was busy, she phoned the CEO for me and called in a favor to make repairs. And yet, she's incredibly kind and nice to work with when it comes to the buyer-agent relationship. She is EXTREMELY proactive and results-driven, and saved me money - and yet is a breeze to work with and super friendly.

Mary is FANTASTIC. She helped me buy a home. I've worked with three realtors to buy and sell three different homes, and she's my favorite realtor by far. She got me a fantastic deal, then got the price down further after inspections, got me a mortgage broker, and even called in a bunch of favors to get the repair work done asap after the inspections. She even caught things I didn't see and I'm picky. She's very aggressive at getting an incredible deal for her clients, and yet she's incredibly friendly and easy to work with when it comes to the buyer-agent relationship. I recommend Mary to all my friends and family!
