As a first time homebuyer, it was great to have Kate on my side, frequently pointing out details I may not have noticed with houses we viewed, never pressuring into closing, and exercising much patience - we viewed houses for a year before buying! Kate was also great at negotiating with the sellers on our behalf, clearly articulating our position and advocating for us as buyers. I always felt Kate was supporting our endeavor to find exactly the right house and negotiating the best price for us. Kate was always available to us, very quick to respond, and if ever she was going to be unavailable she always arranged a secondary contact for us to reach out to. Kate is a fantastic agent that I would highly recommend to anyone.
