Kathleen is an outstanding realtor! She was very experienced, knowledgeable about the market and homes, and always available. After looking for a while, we chose a new construction option; Kathleen was very patient throughout the process, which took ~11 months. She provided advice whenever needed and helped us make multiple decisions that a new build requires. In addition, she was there for the design center visit and home tours and helped us verify if things are going right during construction. She is very professional yet very close to heart. I would definitely recommend Kathleen to anyone, especially if you are a first-time home buyer. She knows her way around several aspects and ensures you learn along the way!

Kathleen is an amazing person and an excellent realtor to work with. Kathleen helped us with our home purchase by taking time to understand our requirements and patiently worked through the entire process and made sure smooth closure of the transaction. Post purchase, Kathleen has provided help and references for several home maintenance and ownership needs. Very recently, Kathleen has also helped with our house listing with great staging, timely open house events and finally quick closure of sale.
