"If you are selling or buying a home in Walnut Creek, it is a mistake not to meet with Kathy Vendel. This is the fifth real-estate transaction we have done and the experience with Kathy was by far the best we have had with any realtor. She is knowledgeable and professional, responsive and hard-working, and best of all, very patient. She was ready with her expert opinion and advice when we needed it. Kathy was great at managing details and made the entire process go much more smoothly than we could have imagined." Jason Morris

Kathy has a reputation around town as a closer. Once she has a property, she does not rest until it is sold. She is intuitive and has an innate skill for understanding and working with her clients idiosyncrasies. She is available at all hours to answer questions and help in any way to ease the burden of the transaction on the client.

My family has used Kathy Vendel multiple times on both the buy and sell side. In what can be a stressful time Kathy is a calming force who represented us with care and confidence. She is an excellent negotiator, organized and professional! Her attention to detail is second to none and we would not hesitate to recommend Kathy to anyone looking for a pro!

Kathy Vendel knows Northgate! She's the ultimate real estate professional and is dialed into the community with many local resources to help stage and sell a home quickly and profitably. She's not only serving her customers, she's helping her neighbors - she lives here too!

Kathy is a warm, engaging individual with a superior command of marketing. Our home presentation and staging under her recommendation were classy and tasteful. The photography on search sites vastly superior to other homes in our area. It was difficult to sell the family home, but Kathy was gracious, understanding and Always kept her deadlines and promises. My highest recommendation.

From the first time we met Kathy, we knew we were in great hands. Her approach is gentle but her style is firm. She was thoughtful about repairs we should do before listing our home - taking budget into consideration, but also knowing we wanted to maximize the sales price. She knows the market VERY WELL. Her insights about the neighborhood were astounding and made us feel so comfortable working with her. My favorite part of working with Kathy was her FREE STAGING - like most sellers, I thought our house looked beautiful but the stagers brought it to a whole new level. The staging made our house feel like the lobby of a posh hotel. That extra work was well worth it. In the end, Kathy listed our house at a price that was competitive but drew TONS of buyers. She sold it for well over our asking price with multiple offers and she lead us through what would have a very hectic transaction with very little stress. She made it all feel like a walk in the park and I'm sorry we moved away because we loved her that much. She sets the bar VERY HIGH for all future agents.

Kathy Vendel represented us in the sale of our Walnut Creek home. From beginning to end Kathy was the most professional and dedicated realtor we've ever had and we've bought and sold eight homes! Kathy immediately put as at ease as she showed us her marketing plan specifically tailored for our home. She worked tirelessly in the preparation and marketing phases of getting the home ready to sell. Kathy showed an in depth knowledge of our neighborhood and the larger market in general and what we should be doing to maximize the value of our home. The best part about Kathy is she immediately makes you feel like you've known her for years and she instantly becomes a family friend. We're grateful she was able to sell our home within six days at over asking price, however, we're more grateful for her post sale follow up and knowing that we have a life long friend.

Kathy is extremely knowledgeable about the Northgate area, is very responsive, and is fun to work with! She made the process go so smoothly! We sold our home within a few days and were happy to get a full price offer!

When we started our home buying search, we looked at several bay area neighborhoods and visited many homes. From the moment we met Kathy at one of her open houses, we knew that we wanted to work with her on the process of purchasing our new home. We focused on the Northgate area and with Kathy's incredible patience, vast area knowledge and genuine support of all our family needs and wants, we found our dream home and neighborhood. Kathy was always responsive, supportive and understanding of our challenges. She genuinely cared about finding us the perfect home and her patience and guidance paid off. We were also purchasing in a sellers market so we relied on her to be the driver for the deal and she did a fantastic job. We are always thankful for having met and worked with her. She made the purchase process seamless and as stress free as possible.

Kathy was very responsive to our needs. Kept us informed about the entire process, scheduled everything and provided updates and made sure things were handled timely, and professionally.

Kathy was a dream to work with. Kathy realized that she wasn't just selling our property, but that she was selling our home. She came to our first meeting well prepared with a stellar marketing plan. The process was stress free. Kathy answered every phone call and she really knows the Northgate area. We would not hesitate to use Kathy again.

I recently sold my house in Walnut Creek with Kathy's great help. I went through the process from outside the country. Throughout the process (from the very first call to the very last email communication), she was very responsive, timely, and professional. During the process, I had many complicated issues, but she was always ready to provide advice and worked patiently with me on those issues. Further, the result was great and satisfactory. I highly recommend her to anyone who is selling his/her house.
