Katrin Tobin

Katrin Tobin was amazing from start to finish. No stress and great communication. She was focused on us and made sure she understood our needs and our preferences. She always had insights on the houses we were visiting and was with us every time to point out details we would have missed. Explanations were easy to understand and she removed the stress out of the purchase (we bought a house with her as our buying agent).We ended up buying a house pretty quickly with her help but we would have loved to continue to working with her for even longer. I recommend Katrin to every one.

Katrin was fantastic on a somewhat difficult sale Whenever a issue arose she found a solution, whether a handyperson to complete a repair or a visit to a metal shop to see if a electrical panel could be constructed as a replacement since they didnt make 1970 era panels anymore. She worked closely with the other agent and closing companies She stopped by every night to make sure the contractors locked up after they left She saved us money on not having staging since she felt it will sell fast All in all a great agent despite some dynamics which made the sale delayed

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Katrin for the 3rd time and I cannot recommend her highly enough. For our first home with Katrin, as a first-time home buyer in Santa Cruz, I was completely overwhelmed with the process, but Katrin made it as easy and stress-free as possible. From our initial meeting, it was clear that Katrin was incredibly knowledgeable about the local housing market and had a deep understanding of what I was looking for in a home. She was patient, attentive, and always made herself available to answer any questions I had throughout the entire process. What really stood out to me was Katrins' commitment to helping me find the right home, rather than just pushing me to buy something quickly. She took the time to understand my needs, preferences, and budget, and helped me find a home that checked all the boxes. She even went above and beyond by connecting me with other professionals (such as a home inspector and a mortgage broker) to ensure that the entire process went smoothly. Overall, I had an excellent experience working with Katrin in buying and selling 2 homes and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She is a true professional and a pleasure to work with."

We were referred to Katrin by some friends JUST before the housing market went wild in Santa Cruz county, which meant that we took a few more years to prepare for our first purchase. Katrin was incredibly patient while we casually looked in the area. When we found the right home, we didn't waste any time. Katrin and our amazing lender were extremely available and responsive as we competed with 7 other offers on the home. The entire processes was very routine and uneventful, which is exactly what you want! Since we share a love of cycling, Katrin also spent a great deal of time sharing her favorite routes in our new area which made us even more excited about the purchase. We have been in the home for about 7 months now and are still so pleased with the purchase and the process. We would recommend Katrin to any friend or family member.

We first had the pleasure of Katrin's services with our 1st California home in 2007. We recently got the itch to find a new house that better fit our family's needs. So we reached out to Katrin and instantly felt empowered and excited to find a perfect home with her amazing support, organization, and negotiation acumen. Katrin led us through the gauntlet of making an attractive winning offer, while simultaneously listing and presenting our old home for maximum value. Katrin's integrity, follow through, accessibility and authentic concern for our happiness is so appreciated!

Katrin is everything you could want in a Realtor. She is a superb negotiator along with being a tireless worker. Katrin was able to prepare this tired home for market and obtain an offer $200,000 above what had been a previous offer before she got involved. The upgrades and staging were done quickly and efficiently and made the home shine. She then negotiated expertly and was able to get the most out of a multiple offer situation. You can hire Katrin and know that your home is in great hands!
