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.

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.
Kathleen Manning is above and beyond the best realtor! Her many years of experience, her honesty, and impeccable attention to every detail, are priceless! I have no complaints whatsoever about my experience buying my Home with Kathleen! I am thankful she took me on as a client!
Kathleen was a delight to work with, highly competent and knowledgeable. She made the transactions go remarkably smoothly even though we were on opposite coasts the entire time.
I would highly recommend Kathleen for your real estate needs. Kathleen showed personalized attention, knowledge, integrity, energy and commitment while working with us to sell our Commercial Property, even helping us with locating an appropriate Office Space to relocate our business. Our relationship with Kathleen far exceeded our expectations and her core values represented our best interest along each step of the way. We put our trust in Kathleen and you can too!
