WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

There are many Realtors® out there to choose from, but few understand each client's aesthetic and then can deliver on it. Kate has a great sense of style, and a decorator's eye, and once you tell her what you want she will never waste your time showing you houses that are wrong for you. Frankly, we found this to be a priceless asset, and Kate not only delivered us our dream house in Hancock Park, but was full of fantastic suggestions for simple changes that improved and restored the lines of the house, the light, and the value. Kate has successfully used her keen sense of interior decoration to flip houses, to re-do houses for her clients, and to open your eyes to the rich possibilities of properties you might otherwise dismiss. She can find you a diamond in the rough, or just a diamond! I cannot recommend her highly enough.

— Miranda C. H. & Bruno H.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Kate is an awesome Realtor® — thoughtful, brilliant, insightful, and a constant delight at every step of the way. Looking for a house, bidding on a house, purchasing a house, closing on a house- these can all be among life's most difficult and stressful endeavors. But with Kate's dazzling charm and wise guidance, these steps somehow become easier and more pleasant throughout. I can't recommend her highly enough!

— RJ C.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

We had come to our wit's end looking for the right house for our family until we found Kate. She patiently listened to our wishes for our dream house, our dream location, and our dream price range and absolutely nailed it for us. In fact, the house wasn't even on the market -- it was just one I pointed out as an example of the perfect house for us, and within 24 hours she made it a reality. We consider her a bit of a miracle worker and count our lucky stars every time we open our front door.

— Andrea Blaugrund Nevins filmmaker, & David Nevins, Entertainment President Showtime

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Kate performed as our agent to search and acquire for us a new home. We had big expectations and each of us had a very specific idea of what we were looking for. Her experience as well as her innate psychology was paramount in making a scary process a smooth and enjoyable experience. She understood right away our vision and embraced it with patience and diligence. At all times she has proven herself to be very resourceful and her efficiency seemed remarkably effortless. We closed escrow in record time and will be always grateful for having Kate by our side. We would with no hesitation recommend Kate to all our friends. We know she will give them the same attention and kindness she provided us.
