 "Thank you so much for all of your help with the selling of our condo and the purchase of our new home. We couldn't have done it without you! Your expert advice, breadth of knowledge, and "tricks of the trade" made the process flow smoothly, quickly, and efficiently…When someone works so hard, covers every detail, ensures that all parties are in agreement, and follows through on every commitment, it is easy to give a glowing recommendation. You are the best, Kate, and we feel very fortunate to have worked with you."

 "We found Kate to be extremely professional, caring, timely, and informative. She had great insight into market conditions and all the necessary connections with stagers, cleaners, termite, and other inspectors saving us a tremendous amount of time, effort, and pain. Kate made a normally complex and often painful process go smoother than ever expected and quicker than anticipated...We have owned and sold other property in the past and our experience with Kate was the most successful and positive we've had."

 "…Your diligence, exceptional knowledge of the market, and expertise in negotiating assisted us in finding just the right house within six weeks. With Jamie and I starting two new jobs in August, it was critical for us to find just the right house in a few short weeks and submit the strongest offer the first time around. Your experience in the Real Estate market truly made you an outstanding buyers agent! We felt very lucky to have our offer accepted especially since there were nine other offers."

 "Tim and I just wanted to let you know what a great experience it has been working with you to purchase our first home. You are easy to talk to and always listened to our needs and gave us great advice. Your professional, attentive and driving personality only make our experience more positive. Your knowledge of every detail (and there are so many details) of buying a home is so apparent and you took the extra time to explain them all to us."

"I want to thank you for exemplary performance facilitating the sale of my property…Given the scores of real estate professionals I have dealt during the past 20 years, frankly, you are the best. Your concern for the client/customer, your attention to detail and your tenacity shown throughout the listing and escrow process were the ingredients that made things happen…. In short, you have done a great service for me. My perception is, this is just the way you do business." |
| Lewis R. Ivers |

"We definitely know that we got the best agent that we could possibly have gotten! You worked extremely hard on selling our house and we know you went beyond the scope of a 'realtor' to bring this sale to a close. We really believe that if we had not called you on that day, the house would either not be sold yet, or at least at a lesser price." |

"Kate Phillips is a wonderful agent! I had previously been working with a broker and agent, who started out great, but at the crucial moment, didn't follow through and I lost the chance to make a bid on the first house I had wanted to, after 4 ½ months of looking! That's when I went to Kate…Kate was there every step of the way and she fought for my interests, even when I didn't ask her to, which ended up saving me money that I hadn't counted on. As a first time buyer, I am extremely pleased with her service and extremely happy in my new home! Kate Phillips has become my agent for life. You won't be sorry if she becomes yours. I hope your experience turns out as glorious as mine." |

"We want to let you know as well as your many clients and potential clients how thoroughly satisfied we were with your enduring professionalism. People need to know you are a bona fide professional to the highest degree, and worth every grain of your salt. After listing our…property with another agent and not having the desired success, Kate came in and told us what was needed to sell our house. After swallowing our pride and putting our egos to the side we did everything and I mean everything Kate suggested. There is nothing like a good swift kick in the behind to jump-start the sell of your property. Kate, my wife and myself met one evening to discuss the strategy in order to maximize the sell of our house. Three and one half hours later, that's right, that's 3 ½ hours later we mapped out a killer strategy. The to do list was quite long, but after having our house on the market for nearly three (3) months we felt it was in our best interest to do what Kate suggested. …You would be hard pressed to find a more qualified, diligent, thorough and even friendly real estate professional to represent your real estate needs." |

"…Kate has a keen understanding of market conditions; she was instrumental in setting a strategy for the sale of our house, a strategy that resulted in a new landmark (price) for houses similar to ours. Together, we developed a plan to generate multiple offers, and we were quite successful (we had 11 offers!)…Kate has strong connections with various contractors and businesses such that we were able to implement those modifications in a short period of time. Not only were the contractors quick to respond, but they were competent professionals and relatively inexpensive. We enjoyed working with all of Kate's contractors, and would use them again if the opportunity arose." |

"I write in praise of a very talented and wonderful real estate agent, Kate Phillips. I am not one generally given to effusive gushing, but the outstanding representation Kate provided in my successful househunting search is truly something special... …During the time we were looking for a home, Kate was in constant communication with us, and was invaluable for her in-depth knowledge of the real estate in the geographic area of our interest. Kate displayed enormous patience, perseverance and humor despite inevitable 'snags' that came up, although not a single snag was due to Kate's actions. Even after the escrow closed, (on Valentine's Day!) Kate continued to help us with 'post-closing' issues and questions… …Kate went 'above and beyond' our expectations on so many occasions. I have recommended Kate Phillips to anyone I am aware of who may be looking for a home…" |

"…Given the fact that we now live in New Mexico, we were somewhat concerned in getting the house ready to sell long distance. Kate took care of everything for us. This included hiring contractors and handymen to paint the house, refinish the floors, install new doors, replace gutters, and to perform general cleanup. Kate went so far as to solicit bids for us, pick up new light fixtures, and even chose the paint… We both feel very fortunate to have had Kate Phillips as our Realtor, and can recommend her without hesitation. The service and attention she provided us with is unparalleled, and we truly believe that above all else, Kate had our best interest at heart at all times." |

"…During each step of the process - from your advice when we decided to make an offer (particularly in light of the two other offers coming in), to being right on the spot when the counter offers were flying back and forth, to patiently sitting with us and explaining all the documents we were signing, to putting up with all of our phone calls - you never missed a beat! Your detail-oriented approach to every aspect of our purchase was most appreciated and certainly put our minds at ease. This constant attention to detail, along with the professionalism you bring to your work, is what we fell separates you from every other realtor we have dealt with. Whenever we came across an issue, you were always right there to stay on top of it and make sure it got worked out to our satisfaction. On numerous occasions one of us has indicated to the other just how lucky we were to have you representing us, and it's definitely true!" |

"…thank you for your assistance in helping us to buy our great house, (we call it the "Lodge") in Maxwell Park. Because of the purchase of two lots simultaneously, it wasn't the simplest of deals but you hung in there with us, smoothing over all of the rocky spots and transitions, seeing us through to the successful completion of the sale. Then a second time you prevailed, helping us sell our house a year later in the Mills College area…truly doing a tremendous job despite our spate of problematic bidders. We couldn't think of anyone who we'd rather have had representing our interests during some intensive touch and go negotiations. With your attention to detail, your calm demeanor, your sense of levity, and your consummate professionalism - we couldn't have asked for a better agent." |
| Lisa DePass & Christine Williams |

"Before listing the home, I interviewed a number of potential realtors and ultimately chose Kate because of her obvious knowledge and experience in selling homes in that area. …Kate did some extra marketing to insure the sale of the house… Within a relatively short period of time, we were able to obtain seven offers on the house… I don't typically write letters of this type. However, given my experience with the sale of this home, I offer the strongest recommendation for the work that was done by Ms. Phillips." |

"Kate Phillips is an astute business woman who paid us an extraordinary amount of attention and finessed two difficult real estate transactions to our decided advantage. She is smart, funny, beautifully mannered. Selling and/or buying a home is traumatic and exhausting under the best of circumstances. We were grateful to have Kate smooth the way for us. She will be our next real estate agent. You would be fortunate to have her as yours." |

"How can I settle in to my new life without expressing my gratitude. The house is turning into a home and none of it would have happened without you. Your well considered, respectful style support your knowledge and expertise. I marvel at my good fortune at having had you to help me navigate everything from contract contingencies to a new foundation. The list of significant ways you helped the cottage materialize for me is long:

"Following her advice we decided that most expeditious way to sell the property was to have the property vacated and then fix it up to "top dollar" condition…Kate not only expedited the refurbishing process but through her personal knowledge and contacts with tradespeople helped keep the expenditures down. Once all of the work was completed the house sold quickly. Thus I highly recommend Kate's services…" |
| Gregory McConnell |
|
"…With much credit to Kate's extraordinary work in my case, a complicated home purchase deal sailed through smoothly with an absolute minimum amount of stress and delay…Throughout the grueling negotiation period for my home, I felt completely relaxed because I knew that I had Kate on my side…You can rest assured that Kate will always have your best interests at heart." |
