Kathy's Reviews

Kathy is the best realtor I have ever worked with. I had an offer on my old home the day after the open house. She took the time to find just the right kind of home that I was looking for. She went out of her way to meet with me on my schedule. I would recommend her to anyone who is searching for a new home. A+

It was my pleasure to work with Kathy on the sale of my rental property in Scottsdale area. Kathy helped me to have some minor defeats fixed by the local handyman she works with on time for the showing. She also went above and beyond to make sure that my tenant worked with me on a very challenging logistic details, so his occupancy did not pose as a real concern to the buyer.

Kathy was extremely trustworthy, competent, and professional. She was very helpful when it came to answering our questions, explaining the process step by step, and providing referrals for landscaping, painting, and cleaning. She made sure we had access to every document necessary from the HOA requirements to A Foreign Buyers Guide . Kathy was readily available and quickly returned our phone calls and emails. She went beyond expectations by making sure the property was cleaned, each disapproval was corrected, and extra keys were provided. Even when escrow had closed, she followed up with us to make sure all was well and also supplied a helpful list of local services and phone numbers we would need as new home owners.
