Cathy was nothing if not amazing. She worked very hard to make sure we were satisfied in our sale and the purchase of our new home. I will recommend her whenever I get the chance.
We cannot recommend Cathy enough. She helped us purchase our first aEURoeforever homeaEUR? in 2020 during an incredibly competitive and uncertain market. We had been searching for months and were very particular about what we wanted, but Cathy was endlessly patient, supportive, and never made us feel rushed or pressured. When we finally found the right home, she made the entire process feel manageable and gave us so much peace of mind. We were fully prepared for a major bidding war and expected to pay far over asking, but Cathy negotiated strategically and was able to secure our home for barely over asking price. We were so happy. Cathy is extremely thorough, organized, and communicative. She laid out every step of escrow clearly, connected us with trusted inspectors and vendors, and made sure we understood what to expect throughout the process. Everything closed smoothly without any surprises. A few years later, Cathy and Jonathan helped us find our next home for our growing family, and when the time came to sell the first home Cathy helped us purchase, she truly went above and beyond. Cathy gave us a clear, straightforward checklist of everything we could do to prepare our home for the market and helped guide us through the entire process step by step. She coordinated beautiful photography/videography, strong marketing, pricing strategy backed by data, and confident negotiation guidance throughout. After only one weekend of open houses, we received an offer just a few days later and closed in a week and a half. We were in disbelief and so relieved not to be carrying two mortgages for months. Thanks to Cathys preparation, strategy, and guidance, we ended up closing with an over-asking offer and a smooth transaction from start to finish. Beyond being an amazing realtor, Cathy is also just a genuinely kind and thoughtful person. As a mother herself, she understood our familys priorities and never lost sight of what mattered most to us. Every time weve bought or sold a home with her, shes gone above and beyond to make it feel special with thoughtful surprises and welcome-home gifts. If you are looking for someone who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, strategic, and truly cares about her clients, we would recommend Cathy to anyone buying or selling a home!
Catherine is the best!!! She helped us to find exactly what we were looking for, she never let me give up or just go with whatever was available in the market, she always kept sending me more options. She was always easy to reach, no matter what time or day she will always get back to me immediately. She is also very organized. Definitely the perfect agent to work with, I truly recommend New Coast Living. Now we are the happiest living in our dream house!!!
Catherine was amazing! Thorough, extremely professional throughout the whole home buying process. There were so many things that came up that Catherine was on top of every step of the way. She also was very organized and did her due diligence to help us make the best purchase. Her correspondence was unbelievable and that made a huge difference in the whole process.
Catherine Kim is the reason my wife and I own our new home. We were in serious competition with other buyers for the same house, but Catherine's astute negotiating ability and important recommendations were critical in our offer being accepted. What a win! Catherine's attention to detail, super organizational skills, caring attitude, and perseverance were all contributing factors to a successful purchase. This was not our first rodeo, but Catherine has been, BY FAR, the best agent we have ever had the pleasure of working with. I highly recommend Catherine Kim for your real estate needs.
I met Catherine at an open house and she was very friendly and helpful. She was helping us made an offer and beat out the market and winning the house We are so happy with her and she is great
Catherine is so good at what she does. She is super organized and on top of everything, which made our first time home-buying experience so smooth. Not to mention, she is a very genuine person who really cares that you get what you want for your home. She is very easy to talk to and you just feel like you knew each other for a very long time. Definitely recommend her because she is: knowledgeable, responsible and genuine.
My interaction with Catherine was relatively short but that is a good thing since I successfully bought my first home with her in such lightening speed. I was put in touch with Catherine during an off hour on Sunday night while she was spending with her family. She put her family first (which is great!) and still made time to work with me same night to an put an offer on a house I knew I wanted from first sight, that is actually slightly out of her normal Peninsula focus area. The next day she and her team helped me through all the scary paper work for the formal offer. She also gave me advice on what the best offer would look like. Like all Bay Area home, there were other offers and the sellers were taking longer than they had previously told us to make their decisions. Catherine was so diligent that she called the listing agent every hour to check on the progress. Eventually they accepted my offer! After the offer was accepted, Catherine's team also helped me with my interaction with the mortgage broker and was responsive when dates got delayed. She helped give advice when the details seemed obscure. Eventually after what seemed like a roller coaster ride, everything worked out and I moved in my home a few months ago! From my interactions with Catherine I can tell she is an extremely good negotiator -- she is calm, warm, and assertive. Because of her negotiation skills I was able to get my home at the low end of my offer which was actually below asking! This would NOT have happened with anyone else!
Catherine was very patient with me. I did not have any specific must haves but I need to have a gut feel that I like the place. So I just gave some parameters for them to alert me of those listings and I decide for myself if I want to see it or not. By luck maybe that she is able to talk to the seller's agent for the place that I was interested in and got the place right away.
I had the absolute pleasure of working with Catherine and her team during my journey to buy my first home. I ran into Catherine randomly as I was cluelessly visiting open houses in the SSF area. Catherine and the rest of her team were super friendly and encouraging during the entire process. They were so open to sharing tons of helpful information with me on what to look for, where to look, and how the whole process in general worked. The crazy thing is, I wasn't even working directly with her. I already had a realtor at the time, but I wish I had found them first. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Catherine to any of my friends. I'm sure if anyone decides to use them in their home search, they will be good hands.
