After we met Kathleen at one of her open houses we worked with her for 10 months to find a country property in Santa Cruz county. It was a local move for us, so Kathleen showed us a lot of listings. We were impressed by her local knowledge, excellent communication skills and willingness to make herself available for showings, sometimes on very little notice. Initially we were not sure exactly what we were looking for, and made several offers on wildly different properties whose listing prices varied by hundreds of thousands of dollars. Kathleen handled every negotiation with a consistent level of diligence and attention. Although we qualified for a large mortgage, she never even subtly tried to steer us to higher-priced listings, as so many agents have a reputation for doing. We backed out of two contracts after inspections and at no time did Kathleen express the slightest hint of impatience with our pickiness. In one instance she prevented our making an expensive mistake, by combing through supplementary documentation that just happened to be provided, even though her discovery caused us to withdraw from an almost done deal after eight months of searching. It was not a detail it was her responsibility to catch, and we are extremely grateful. We did make an offer the property a couple of months later, and were able to purchase it at a significantly lower price. Her attention to detail, plus the right balance of professionalism and warmth is the reason we had her list our ocean view home after we closed on our purchase. She gave us a comprehensive marketing plan and fairly priced our house, which sold quickly. This is the eighth purchase and sale process we’ve gone through and Kathleen is one of the best real estate agents we’ve ever worked with.

Highly likely to recommend. 5 stars
