Kate provided excellent care for the sale of my condo, which I very much appreciated as I live out of state. She walked me through every step of the process and kept me informed about what was going on.

Kate was absolutely amazing as a realtor for me. I am new to the area, and she is a wealth of information. She negotiated so that I got the house that I wanted, even though there were multiple offers on it. After that, she was able to provide contacts for me for every type of service that I needed: inspection, mortgage, construction, landscape maintenance, painting, insurance, etc. She is a one stop shop! Sign up with her and she does everything necessary to get you the home you want. I have bought and sold several homes in my life, and Kate is by far the most informative, efficient and hard working realtor I have ever known. I will never use anyone else again!!!

Kate is simply the best. We started working with her over one year ago to find our winter home in Southern California. She took us to multiple cities and various areas in the Southern California. Ultimately Kate found us our perfect home in Desert Hot Springs. Even after our purchase, Kate assisted us with issues that were beyond her control, responsibilities and far exceeded our expectations. She walks with you through every single aspect of the home selling/buying process. Kate is most certainly an expert in real estate and a true advocate of the clients she serves.

Working with Kate was the best. I lived in my old condo for 27 years, so my experience with real estate sale and purchase was very out of date. I thought I knew a lot but was I ever mistaken. I needed a professional. Kate has the knowledge and experience I needed. I was referred to her from a friend she helped sell one residence and then purchase a new home. Kate walked me through the whole process and explained everything. I am glad I had her and heeded her advise. Kate hit a home run with this sale/purchase. She is a rock star. From the moment she did the first walk through on my old place, she had a plan and took action. I am so impressed with the whole experience. Every detail was covered and handled. Kudos to Kate!

As my husband and I look back on 2023, the accomplishment we are most proud of is buying a home in San Diego. This would not have been possible without the help of our brilliant realtor, Kate Goodwin. Recommended by a friend, I confided in Kate in Sept that we finally felt confident in exploring the possibility of buying a home. We spoke of our apprehension as first time buyers as well as our fears of searching in a competitive market with rising interest rates. Kate assured us every step of the way, from beginning to end. She approached us with clarity and honesty. She spoke of genuine care and passion of why she became a realtor and discussed her zero commitment until we were sure. Putting peoples needs first is Kate’s specialty. Never once did our family feel pushed, manipulated, or blindsided. Kate was with us from the first day we looked at homes to the last. She coached us in what to look for in a home, she walked us through timelines, expectations, and went through all the paperwork page by page (we basically read novels together). She was patient, kind, and thorough. She took every one of our considerations into account from our beloved pit bull to the possibility of potential ADU/future rentals. Kate never made us feel like we were less-than or foolish, she never spoke down to us, and she treated us with genuine respect from the beginning. She didn’t bat an eye when we stated we’d be using our VA. She insisted we look into ways to push into a higher price point without sacrificing our existing lifestyle or budget. She explored assumable loans and buy-downs. Kate will find a way to make your dreams a reality. What we appreciated most about Kate was her willingness to go to bat for us. She fought for our rights and she protected us when she sensed anything was off. She always wanted to know our thoughts and when asked, she didn’t hesitate to tell us that something wasn’t the right fit for us and why. Even after papers were signed and escrow was closed, she fought for things that didn’t turn out just right for us. She continues to after we’ve been in our home for a month. Her instincts are on point. If you are looking for the perfect realtor, look no further. She was punctual, she was diligent, she communicated well, she was organized, and she broke things down in ways that made it very easy to understand. From our initial conversation in September that broached the idea of exploring, to closing escrow by Thanksgiving, Kate made purchasing a home feel easy. My husband and I will never use another realtor. She is a stellar realtor and a fantastic human. We absolutely recommend Kate to anyone and everyone.
