I expected the process of finding my first home to take at least one year. In my mind, I set aside 2 months just to find the right agent, and then 10 months of searching for the right home. Kathy was the first Realtor I reached out to, on a Thursday, and told her I was agent shopping, didn't want any commitment and was planning to take my time for this process. She encouraged me to take my time and explore my options, but did have a home that fit our wish list and booked a viewing for that Saturday. We put and offer on that house the next day. It was everything that we were looking for and the process when UNBELIEVABLY smooth. It was SO EASY that I thought that I could not believe it. I wish I had done this years ago with Kathy because everything worked out stupendously, but I'm glad I did it when I did, because I LOVE the home she found me. Kathy was a VERY COMFORTABLE person to be around. She gave me information in a KIND but very CLEAR manner that made me feel SECURE IN HER ABILITIES. He was always ATTENTIVE and QUICK TO RESPOND with ACCURATE INFORMATION. She was GENEROUS in her EXPLANATIONS and ENCOURAGED ME to do what I needed to do to feel confident in the process. I TRUSTED her recommendations throughout the process and could not have found another guide to purchase my first home. I'll never use a different agent. She has my full trust and confidence to guide me to do what is best for me.

Working with Kathi is a joy! A solid, knowledgeable and creative professional, she's also a terrific human, personable and compassionate. Highest recommendation!

We discovered Kathi to be most personable with excellent social skills. An experienced realtor who is a good listener and creative thinker. She’s kind, with an assertive and professional demeanor. Having Kathi as a realtor was fantastic and made the process easy!

We met Kathi at an open house and found her to be very professional and very positive. We interviewed her to sell our home. Her knowledge of the housing market in our community was very impressive. We hired her on the spot. She understands the market, how to market your home, and throughout the whole process she answered all of our questions. Kathi also hires the best photographer. The pictures that went online were amazing. Needless to say our home sold in less than 24 hours. I would highly recommend Kathi to anyone buying or selling a home. She is the best!

Kathi surpassed our expectations with her marketing expertise and with her ability to stay on top of things as our sale progressed. Never left any questions unanswered and her follow up was very much appreciated and timely. She was able to get us top dollar for our property, we couldn’t have made a better choice in selecting a Realtor.

Kathi had us covered in all aspects of purchasing a great home in Chino Valley, AZ from offer to move-in while basically sitting on my sofa in San Diego, CA. She had a great supporting team in a lender, title agency, and inspectors. I needed only to make two 1-day trips to AZ from CA to be there for the home inspection and sign the closings docs, both trips were of my choosing and could have been done via other means. The entire process took but 45 days from day of offer till day of move in with no real hiccups to speak of doing the entire process. My hat is off to Kathi for her outstanding professionalism and help in buying our new home in AZ.

She's also tenacious when trying to sell in difficult times or a unique home. We strongly recommend Kathi Rafters as a Realtor if you are looking to buy or sell.

Kathy Rafters is absolutely amazing. She did go above and beyond her duties, she took the extra step to get the job done. Kathy is very sincere and took my best interest at heart. I cannot say enough about her real estate knowledge and willingness to put in whatever effort was necessary. I’ve never been so impressed by an agent. Kathy Rafters is the best!

My experience with Kathi was extremely pleasant. Not only is she professional but she is very personable too. She was honest about giving me advice on what would help sell my home but did not suggest doing anything except making a few basic repairs. She made the process so easy, always communicating clearly the next steps and always answering my questions promptly. I would definitely hire her again.

Kathi sold our out of state home. She is super professional and was on top every step of the process. She took care of what needed to be done when I couldn't be there to do it myself. I highly recommend her to local and out of state clients alike.

Kathi is very professional and diligent. We have utilized her Real Estate expertise on several occasions.
