It felt like Kathy was a lawyer who was winning a case for me. She knew the big picture and asked good questions about my preferences to decide our strategy for putting in an offer. I saved a lot of money in the process and still got my first offer accepted. She acted quickly and like an investigator any time I had a question or curiosity about something. She's personable and other folks in the industry enjoy working with her. She helped me set up appointments around my work schedule, so I didn't have to miss any work. When I was tired from the process, she offered water & snacks like the coach of an athlete. So basically it was like getting a lawyer, private investigator, public relations representative, personal assistant and coach all in one person. I felt like I was able to be myself in this process & also receive experienced professional support. Kathy matched me in the high energy & determination I had to make it happen and she was encouraging and respectful the entire time.
I could not have done this without Kathy! She was by my side every step of the way in this crazy competitive market with over the top research; information gathering; connecting and communication with selling agents, lenders, homeowner associations; negotiating, follow-up and prep for closing. All of this was more than I expected but she became a true friend and major support to me through a difficult market and life style change. I could not recommend Kathy any more highly!
My realtor (Kathy VanZwoll) expressed so much personal and professional care in my home buying process. She was detail oriented, mission focused, and client first. Not only was she knowledgeable about the market, but practiced wisdom and discernment according to my wants and needs. Very thrilled to now call her a friend and she will be my first call for any real estate needs!
Kathy was a pleasure to deal with and very responsive to all our questions. She had good insight into the market, and our property sold within a week at the asking price. We are on the East Coast and the buyers were on the West Coast. Kathy managed the details of the closing smoothly and professionally. We highly recommend her.
Meeting Kathy was a complete coincidence but one of the most valuable and wonderful we've had. From the day we met, she continued to be incredibly positive, helpful, and in the end an overwhelming reason why we successfully purchased our first home together. We can't say enough about how great she is!
I visited five open houses last fall. Of the five realtors represented, Kathy was the most friendly, helpful and the most knowledgeable. I had much to learn about the real estate market, having not purchased a home for 22 years. On the first night, Kathy was willing to spend almost two hours with my husband and me via zoom, answering all our questions about the current housing market and informing us as to what to expect. We waited several months before beginning our search in earnest, and once we gave the green light, Kathy was efficient, capable, encouraging and a very wise advisor. She let us make our own decisions, but when we asked for advice, she gave strategic and smart answers. I've already recommended her to our daughter, and will pass her name on to anyone else we hear who is in the market for a home. Thanks so much, Kathy!
She was knowledgeable, honest and always available to answer questions and guide us through the process.
She has a great understanding of the area market and her ability to get our home sold in the timeline we needed, especially in the middle of a pandemic, was exceptional.
She was knowledgeable, prompt to reply, readily available to tour places, very understanding of our needs, resourceful to get us what we needed. Basically everything that we wanted in a realtor.
