My wife and I had been living in San Francisco for much of our adult lives and weren’t really looking to move. That changed when Catherine Bierwith and Karen Miller at Windermere Real Estate helped us see Alameda in a new light and guided us to what became our very first home. It turned out to be the perfect fit for us. As first-time homebuyers, we were naturally a little nervous about the process, but they made everything feel simple and stress-free. They guided us through multiple showings with patience and insight, suggested trusted loan professionals, and always seemed to anticipate our questions before we even asked them. We truly wouldn’t be in our new home without their guidance. Catherine and Karen are professional, knowledgeable, and attentive, and above all, genuinely wonderful people. If you are considering buying a home in Alameda, we cannot recommend them highly enough.

It was such a pleasure working with you on the sale of my family home in Alameda. You made the process easy to understand and were very kind and considerate knowing how difficult an undertaking this would be for me under the circumstances. Your confidence at the get-go and knowledge of all things Alameda and the real estate market put me at ease knowing I could count on you to keep me in the loop as we discussed the various nuances of the sale as the days and weeks went by. I saw firsthand your willingness to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty. You had a great rapport with all those on your team as well as with my attorney. You were always on time, patient and engaging. Your spot-on ideas, good eye for detail, staging choices, color sense all worked to ensure a quick sale which you were confident of. It all worked thanks to your due diligence and great work ethic. You inspired faith and trust and I’ll be forever grateful. I wholeheartedly recommend you as one of Alameda’s and the Bay Area's finest realtors. Sincerely, Glorya W.

I contacted Catherine and Karen as fellow Windermere agents to assist in selling my father's home. As both my sister and I are from out of town, they offered assistance with everything from donations, to coordinating the cleaning and staging. It was very reassuring that we were in good hands. They certainly had all of the bases covered. Thanks gals!

Catherine is a very knowledgeable and experienced professional. Her expertise is remarkable. We highly recommend her.

I am generally not one for writing many reviews, but after working with Catherine, others need to know how wonderful she. Working with Catherine made selling our house easy!!! She knew everything we asked, or found out the answers in a very timely matter. She was very patient if we needed to ask the same thing a few times! She took care of scheduling everything that needed to be done, and would do it herself if needed! Her professionalism and confidence made us feel so at ease with a process that can be overwhelming, to say the least. She knows the home prices and how best to market and price your home. There was not much for us to do, and the sale went so smoothly. We had already relocated to the east coast by the time our house went on the market and sold. She took care of everything to complete the sale with us already being out of state. I would recommend her in a heartbeat!

Complete professionalism along with a personal touch, and much much more. Catherine put up her own money for some expenses. waited over a year for the sale. It was a very complicated trust sell, and Catherine was the calmest and was always the most showing patience adult in the room! Catherine know the area and the market better than anyone else, I am sure. People walking by, the home is on the water abutting a walking path, all knew her: she had either sold the home they were in or had helped out in some other way. Highly recommend!

Catherine did a wonderful job assisting in the selling of our house. Great attention to detail and going rates for homes.

Both Catherine and Karen are very nice people to work with. They took care of everything. The process went very well, exactly as they had said it would. They have many years of experience working real-estate in Alameda, CA.

We selected Catherine Bierwith to be our selling agent, because she had done a wonderful job selling our neighbor's home and she was recommended by another neighbor who had worked with her on the sale of a property and on the purchase of another property. Catherine has great presentation ideas, has lots of energy, and is a top real estate professional. She's extremely organized, pleasant in all dealings, and actively rolls up her sleeves and makes sure all deadlines can be met. Our house was sold above asking yet in line with moving market trend a week after being listed, and closed in 30 days. Since we had already relocated to the East Coast, Catherine was responsible for the successful completion of this sale.

Catherine is not only an amazing agent but also a great person. I have dealt with a few agents in my past and you can tell right away that Catherine is different. She is professional, proactive and diligent. She won my confidence and trust, especially when we received multiple offers less than a week from when the property was listed. I can be a bit high strung but Catherine held my hand through the hold process. I highly recommend her services and look forward to her assistance with my future real estate needs. The house sold well over asking and closed in 30 days. Look no further for your buying and selling needs!

From day one, Catherine made us feel comfortable in our search for our new home. As first-time homebuyers we had definitely more questions than answers. She not only took the time to explain the details of each home and helped narrow down our needs vs wants with realistic expectations; she was there every step of the way for the purchasing process with the lender. Catherine and her partner Karen helped our family find a beautiful home in a great neighborhood and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a new home.
