Katrin is an asset for any buyer seeking in the Santa Cruz area with her in depth knowledge of research and purchase processes for a home or land.

We are truly happy and lucky we found such a gem

Katrin was an indispensable asset in our house and land hunting journey. We are truly happy and lucky we found such a gem in our extremely unconventional search for our future home. My partner and I have a dream to buy a plot of land in Santa Cruz and build our future home on it, while in parallel we were also keeping an eye out for houses that may have satisfied our requirements. During the entire process (which was about 9 months), Katrin was an accurate and reliable information source, support resource, and helped introduce us to the Santa Cruz proper and surrounding neighborhoods. Very early on in the relationship, Katrin quickly understood what my partner and I were looking for in a house in addition to getting up to speed amazingly quick on how to lock down a parcel of land. We did the impossible, and completed a land purchase of our dreams. The end-to-end process was so seamless, we couldn't have realized it without Katrin's dedication, commitment, and impressive follow-through and closing skills. Aside from the business relationship, Katrin and I built a great personal relationship and I highly believe we will continue to cultivate a life-long friendship. I highly recommend Katrin to anyone who is looking for an amazing real estate agent that really cares and truly delivers to her client's needs and dreams.

Katrin went above and beyond to make our first home buying experience a success

Katrin went above and beyond to make our first home buying experience a success. She frequently met with us after-hours and over the phone, working within our limited availability. She carefully explained the whole process to us and answered our many questions along the way. Katrin flawlessly dealt with every issue that arose, sometimes before we were even aware of the issue. With her guidance, we had our first offer accepted and couldn't be happier with our new home. I highly recommend Katrin to anyone looking to buy a home in the Santa Cruz area.

A pretty complex and tricky sale, and we couldn't be happier with the results!

My wife and I had a wonderful experience working with Katrin to sell our house in Santa Cruz. She was a pleasure to deal with: she was friendly and knowledgeable, and communication was always prompt and easy, even while we were traveling. She has a great eye for detail, which proved really helpful in preparing our property for sale as well as in working out the details with the buyers. Throughout the process, she was always patient with us and thoroughly answered every last little question. She helped us through a pretty complex and tricky sale, and we couldn't be happier with the results!!

Empathic, astute, well-informed, tactful, persistent, helpful.

Katrin Tobin is a remarkable person with the kind of skills that would make her an excellent member of a City Council member... or clinical psychologist. She is empathic, astute, well-informed, tactful, persistent, helpful. She answered hosts of questions, did extra research, arranged her schedule to communicate to the East Coast. I recommend her whole heartedly. Amelie Rorty

She is truly amazing and a real champion for her clients.

I would highly recommend Katrin to anyone who is either planning to buy or sell their home. She walks her clients through the process with clarity and balanced insight. In addition to unparalleled professionalism, Katrin is a savvy negotiator who understands personalities and how to navigate the sometime complex and emotionally charged home buying or selling process through to a successful outcome for all parties. She is truly amazing and a real champion for her clients.

A great professional to have in your corner in the Santa Cruz market

As first time buyers in an incredibly tight market, we were so fortunate to work with Katrin. Wanting to be diligent and careful, we "interviewed" a few agents first and contacted their references by phone. Katrin stood out as a great communicator and patient with us being so new to the process. She really brought what we needed to complement our home buying "team" - a competitive drive plus knowledge and ease in negotiating our offers. She's a great professional to have in your corner in the Santa Cruz market.

Always made us feel like we were her top priority!

We found Coldwell Banker Realtor Katrin Tobin from Santa Cruz to be an exceptional realtor and a delight to work with in all aspects of the home sales process from start to finish!!!!!   There was not one issue that came up during the process, because Katrin anticipated any possible problems and took care of them immediately. Her communication skills, professionalism, knowledge, effiency, positive attitude and people skills are all exceptional+!!!!! We have worked with at least 30 realtors in our 46 years of being home owners, and found Katrin to be the best by far! We knew that she was working with many other satisfied customers, but she always made us feel like we were her top priority! Michael and Michele Young

Katrin always had a plan

Having now moved from the Santa Cruz area, I've no doubt that we'll search long and hard to find a relator of Katrin's caliber the next time we buy or sell a home. We'd been in our home for 30 years when we decided to sell. To say we were overwhelmed would be an understatement. Between preparing the house to sell, including the necessary repairs, and our limited time outside work to make things happen, Katrin made the entire process seamless. From helping us identify the needed work, to finding contractors, to prioritizing what work made sense before placing our home on the market, Katrin always had a plan. She combines her extensive local experience with a keen understanding of what buyers and sellers are looking for. She is amazingly skillful at anticipating potential issues and the confidence she inspires kept us feeling positive. I can't imagine what we'd have done without her. We couldn't recommend Katrin higher, she's extremely professional and an absolute pleasure to work with.
