I can't believe how lucky we were to find and work with Kati on buying our first home. My fiancé and I were a bundle of nerves and excitement and were very much in need of someone to hold our hands through the process. From our first meeting, Kati exuded calm, patience, and confidence. She set us up with a fabulous mortgage broker and helped us navigate through the increasingly tricky housing market in LA by combing through listings with us. She was invaluable in helping us clarify what was most important to us in a house and neighborhood and then in focusing our energy on where we were most likely to find those things in LA. When we found the first house we wanted to make an offer on, she walked us through every page of every document and miraculously never seemed exhausted by our millions of questions.

She set us up with a fabulous mortgage broker and helped us navigate through the increasingly tricky housing market in LA by combing through listings with us. She was invaluable in helping us clarify what was most important to us in a house and neighborhood and then in focusing our energy on where we were most likely to find those things in LA. When we found the first house we wanted to make an offer on, she walked us through every page of every document and miraculously never seemed exhausted by our millions of questions. Our first offer was countered, but we were not willing to go above a certain offer number and Kati listened and respected that. She never pushed us into a financial situation that made us uncomfortable. On the contrary, she consistently centered the conversation around our long-term goals and financial picture. We quickly pivoted to the next home, and lo and behold, on only the second house we made an offer on, we found our dream home. We were one of multiple offers, and under her guidance, we made the best and final offer that the sellers ultimately accepted. Kati knew what number to offer that was just enough to get the house. We stayed within our budget and beat the second-best offer by only $5k! When the sale went through, we were beyond excited – but Kati was just as excited as we were and that meant a lot to us. From offer to closing to months after closing, Kati has been there every step of the way guiding us, scheduling repairs, following up with agents, crossing our t's, and dotting our i's. I literally cannot imagine the homebuying process without her. I recommend Kati to anyone and everyone who will listen. She is one of a kind, a true gem, and we are eternally grateful to her!
We would highly recommend using Kati. I am a contractor and met Kati through clients of mine. She joined them for our initial project walkthrough. I was instantly impressed at her knowledge of construction and asking the right questions. Even though her clients had already closed on the house she continued to help them get organized for their project. This was the first for me to witness this type of care and service from a realtor. Fast forward almost a year. Our little family wasn’t so little anymore and realized we were quickly outgrowing our then “forever home”. We had our realtor who sold us the house 3 years previous as well as interviewed a few others. I had never forgotten about Kati and the way she helped her buyers. So we decided to reach out and see what she thought. From the moment we called her to the day we handed over the keys to our buyers Kati handled everything! Which w…

So we decided to reach out and see what she thought. From the moment we called her to the day we handed over the keys to our buyers Kati handled everything! Which was a change of pace for a couple of micro-managing control freaks like my wife and I. We were getting ready to have another baby and Kati really helped us focus on that while she handled the house stuff. Once that deal was done she helped us quickly find our next home and made that process as smooth and lightweight as the selling of our house. She continues to check on us and is always willing to offer help or insight on our new home. As corny as this may sound we got something out of Kati more valuable than a great realtor. We gained a friend! We feel strongly about Kati and her ability to effectively do her job without ever losing that human touch.
We can’t imagine having a better experience with an agent! Kati was supportive in so many ways, always answering our questions, walking us through the entire process, and getting to know us to the point where we knew she was our advocate, and our friend, and had our best interest in mind. She was always willing to listen to us and came up with great ideas when we encountered unforeseen obstacles throughout the process. She had a calm and kind demeanor that made us feel reassured of every decision we were making. She is a great listener and problem solver which made us feel like a team and more confident every step of the way. Kati is also very knowledgeable and explained things to us very well, always making sure we understood and were informed.

Kati has an array of resources and referrals, which was another immensely valuable contribution. As inspections and other contracting services needs arose, she took care of every one of them. Everyone she recommended turned out to be great, not to mention she stepped up for us and took care of appointments when our schedules conflicted. The entire process of buying our first home was smooth thanks entirely to Kati and her professionalism. Kati fully earned our trust and respect. We are excited to buy our next house knowing that she will be in our team. We highly recommend her services to anyone and everyone!”
I can't say enough glowing things about my experience working with Kati. My partner and I were looking to purchase our first home an exhilarating and, of course, at times overwhelming process! Kati made every element of the experience feel fun, relaxed, and joyous. She was on top of every listing, every detail - and pursued our vision with as much passion and tenacity as if it were her own. She truly goes above and beyond communicating fastidiously each step of the way, with a warmth and assurance that absolutely eases the potential stress of homebuying. When we finally got an offer accepted on our dream home, Kati was as over the moon about it as we were and then went right to work, scheduling and overseeing inspections and negotiating credits with incredible precision and commitment.

When we finally closed, Kati went even more above and beyond and showed up to hand off the keys with numerous gorgeous and thoughtful congratulations gifts. She even offered to help us schedule necessary repairs after our deal had closed. My gratitude to her and admiration for her work ethic and inimitable positivity, which benefits her work endlessly is immense. I can't stop telling everyone I know to work with her. She is the kind of broker and collaborator - you dream of.
