Hard working and very knowledgeable.

Kathy is very experienced and hard working and her marketing strategies really worked in the sale of our home.She has lived in the area for many years and her knowledge of the market is very good. She was also our realtor in the purchase of our new home.

Welcoming, extremely knowledgeable and not pushy.

When we walked into Kathy’s open house we were just looking, but not planning to purchase a home that day. Kathy’s knowledge of the home, community was extremely helpful. Kathy had excellent ideas on how to purchase this home before selling our home. We were so impressed with Kathy that we asked her to be the realtor to sell our home. We pursued this home the next day.

Investor Friendly

Kathy came to me with a project home that actually made sense. Once we decided to pursue the property she was instrumental with the sellers agent, HOA and family trust. Her attention to detail and willingness to follow through on all loose ends was very refreshing in this "Scan through" business world of today. I hope I get the chance to work with her again soon!

Perfect experience, would give 10 stars if I could!

Excellent and thoughtful in every way: market experience, professionalism, communication, and kindness. Interviewed 2 very experienced agents, and Kathy presented a far superior Sales and Marketing Plan that much better highlighted the strengths of our property. Best of all, the property sold for a higher price than what the other agent was even proposing!! Glad we chose Kathy!!

Kathy is a consummate real estate professional.

Kathy used her extensive knowledge of the market and competition to help us receive multiple bids over asking price in the first few days on the market. We would highly recommend Kathy to anyone seeking to sell or buy a home in the San Juan Capistrano market.
