Provided a patent and balanced approach during a tricky sale.

Kathleen proved to be a great intermediary between the sellers and myself. During a recent house purchase. Several unexpected issues occurred during the sale and Kathleen kept everyone up to date with how things were progressing. Ultimately everything was worked out and I was able to purchase a great property. Kathleen provided a balanced approach to both sellers and buyers and was always available to talk and provide feedback.

Dedicated and an excellent communicator

Working with Kathleen was an absolute pleasure. From our first meeting through to settlement, she was supportive, responsive, and always willing to go the extra mile. Her dedication and attention to detail made the sale process feel straight forward and enjoyable. We are thankful for her guidance and would not hesitate to recommend her to family and friends.

Proactive and knowledgeable agent with fantastic customer service and negotiation skills.

Kathleen met with us in April to assist us with the process of listing our house in September/October. Beyond the standard things like market appraisals, Kathleen helped us with suggestions to improve the marketability of our home, including the best bang for buck works to have done. After the campaign started we received regular and helpful updates, and she worked hard to drive the sale. Overall A+

Upfront, no games, and constant communication from start to finish.

Kathleen just sold my home, and I always knew exactly where things stood. She kept me updated at every step and was genuinely excited for me. With Kathleen you're never just a client. Buying or selling a home always comes with change, and in times of change you want clarity and consistency. That's exactly what Kathleen provides, along with a warmth and friendliness that makes the whole process easier. This was our second time working together. Two years ago she sold me this same house when I was re-entering the market after my divorce, and it gave me the fresh start I needed. When it was time to move on, there was no question who I'd call. In between, she kept in touch, sending a Christmas card every year and always giving a wave when she saw me around the local community. She builds real rapport, and it shows when it matters. I'd recommend Kathleen to anyone buying or selling.
