Testimonials
"Kathryn helped my husband and me to find the perfect house for us when we decided to relocate full-time to Sarasota from Boston. She listened to our needs and wants, prepared for our house hunting trip, worked with us at the pace that we could handle and the time we had available, educated us on the area, advised us on properties and buying processes in the area, and led us through the offer and closing -- all of this during the early stages of the pandemic. It was an amazing experience in the middle of so many moving parts. We went from first showing to offer in 3 days and even completed inspections during our trip. And we were pretty particular! I would highly recommend Kathryn to efficiently and effectively lead buyers through the process according to their particular needs, wants, and situation. She is the consummate professional -- just a pleasure to work with."

"What we seek in a Real Estate Professional is excellent communications skills in order to understand our specific needs and add value to our own opinion of requirements. Combined with a Realtor’s knowledge of local and demographic trends, this allows for adjustments early enough in the cycle to fine-tune searches, thereby maximizing time to find the ideal home. Kathryn not only has these qualities, she is engaging, intelligent, and consistently provides insights that add significant value to our decisions. Of seemingly less importance can be the personality of the Realtor, until you realize the extent of time you must spend together to do an effective search. This is where Kathryn shines again – she is a pure delight to work with. Some of our most productive and enjoyable times were discussing showings with Kathryn over lunch and laughing as hard as we worked. We found ourselves looking forward to every showing with Kathryn. "
