Katherine Stromer
Patient & tenacious. I have to use a walker, & Kathy showed us homes to fit our abilities as senior citizens. She could tell if I was struggling, even as I tried my best to maneuver in different layouts. She also pointed out potential drawbacks inside & out. I do love my gardens, but I’m not so nimble now. One listing had a yard that sparked memories of my childhood but would have been unrealistic now. Another listing where we made a cash offer didn’t want to bargain with us. We followed Kathy’s recommendation & passed. I see where it still hasn’t sold, yet. Kathy also took the time to explain how some properties can have 2 HOA fees. Having inherited my home, & coming from CA, this was foreign to us. It also helped to narrow our search. After a hair-raising episode to get our money from CA, which she sweated out along with us, everything fell into place at the 11th hour, & escrow was completed on time. I don’t know how some folks can buy homes like they’re going to the grocery store, but if I had to do it again, I’m bringing Kathy Stromer a big bottle of aspirin to put up with me.
