What clients say about this agent....
Working with Kate & team in selling our home in Alameda was an absolute pleasure. We decided to go with them based on their outstanding reputation, and they actually exceeded all expectations. They made the whole process seamless, and we couldn't be happier with their incredible work and the end result. If you're selling your home, this is the team to go with!
Amy's knowledge of Alameda and it's market are unmatched. As part of of the Kate McCaffrey group, she also has access to a large number of listings in the area, and can give you previews into what is coming on the market in the coming weeks and/or months. Would strongly recommend to anyone in the area.
Theyve helped us sell 2 houses and her business partner helped us to buy 1 and we truly cant recommend them enough!! Their expertise in the industry and vast network gives you peace of mind the whole way. From the start they are professional and caring people. They take great pride in what they do and the name that theyve built as the top team in the area. There are a lot of unknowns in buying and selling a home, but they give great guidance and expertise the whole way. For our first home we used their inhouse construction management services for staging, photos, inspections and copy writer for the description. For the second home we decided we wanted to go a more private route and did an aEURoeOff Market/Private exclusiveaEUR?. If youre unsure ask about both options and they will give great guidance. Both sales were seamless, and they exceeded our expectations in every way! They are a trustworthy team and will work diligently for you from start to finish!!
KMG has a whole team dedicated to getting home sellers in Alameda the best value for their property. From designers, to project managers, sales and marketing, KMG offers a finely tuned home sales experience. The final sales price for our house exceeded even my most ridiculous estimate. We couldnt be happier.
We highly recommend the Kate McCaffrey Group who we recently used to sell our condo in Alameda. It was a rental property and when our tenant of 20 years moved out, we decided the time was right to sell. Julia was our listing agent and she explained all of our options, with the pros and cons of offering the property AS IS OFF MARKET vs MLS as well as fully preparing the property to sell in the Spring. We chose to try an Off Market listing for a few weeks, then decided to use the winter months to update the condo from the original 1972 condition and go to market in the Spring. Kates team provided us with a vision for each room, including recommendations for kitchen cabinet doors, carpeting, vinyl plank flooring, lighting and plumbing fixtures, appliances, and paint color. We received a spreadsheet with all the vendor and contractor bids, inspection costs, City of Alameda permit requirements as well as costs and sources for all suggested upgrades. Since we had time, we chose to do as much of the work as we could ourselves. Kates team was very supportive of this decision as our common goal was to get the property in prime condition to generate the most interest and the highest offer possible. Throughout the process, we were skeptical of the necessity of some suggestions due to the expense. Specifically, removing the popcorn ceiling and staging. Julia was very thorough in explaining what buyers are looking for in this market and the impact both the popcorn removal and staging the unit would have on potential buyers, which in turn would result in higher offers. Ultimately, we took her advice and we are so glad we did! In the end, the unit looked amazing!We also took advantage of the concierge option so we were not out of pocket for the staging expense. The property was listed for two weeks, with a set date and time for offers to be submitted. There were multiple offers and within a few hours of the deadline, we received a spreadsheet with the details of each offer. Kate does the negotiating and she and Julia explained the process to get us to the final offer. A few hours later we had a final offer well above the listing price, and one that far exceeded our expectation! In addition to Kate and Julia, we also appreciated the great communication with all the team members. Miguel, our project coordinator, McKenzie, the listing manager, Kristi, the Director of Operations, and Sophia, the Transaction Coordinator each helped us navigate this process to a very successful outcome!
Kate McCaffrey and her team exceeded our expectations in every way while working with them to sell our home. They were thorough, excellent communicators, diligent, detailed, honest, and a pleasure to work with from start to finish.
Kate had an outstanding team that helped guide us through the process of selling our home. We slept soundly at night trusting in their guidance and expertise, and it payed off.
Kate and her team truly set the standard for what flawless and precise execution looks like. They have mapped this down to a science, and each team member is exceptional at their role. The communication was impeccable, alerting us to potential issues to avoid, reminding us of critical deadlines, and tackling last minute problems that pop up along the way. They have even sent us our mail on one or two occasions... doing whatever it takes to not only maximize value for the seller, but also ensure the highest level of customer service and integrity.This is the first house that we've sold, and moved out of state months before the transaction completed. The team met with us months in advance of our move out date, walked through with their experts and provided design and staging advice on what was the best return on investment to prepare the home for a sale. They gave us a detailed and highly organized list of recommendations and worked with us to preserve details we thought were important to the home. Once agreed upon what work was to be done, their project manager kicked into gear and created schedules, arranged vendor quotes and oversaw the execution of the individual contractors. They have an extensive network of high quality craftsman who are equally cost effective. All I had to do was occasionally answer a few questions as issues popped up and the rest was fully managed... completely indispensable given we moved out of state!In the end, all the effort and advice they provided was spot on. Their deep market knowledge helped us identify the right timing, strategy, and preparation work.... as we sold our home for well above asking and exceeding our very high expectations. This is one of the best companies I have ever interacted with and experienced... the combination of professionalism, performance and service is astounding. They are a truly remarkable team!
We were so glad that we chose Kate and her team to sell our townhome in Alameda. As first time sellers, we especially appreciated the team's expertise and guidance throughout the selling process, from listing options to the scope of house prep work to selling strategies, etc. The entire team was very organized, detail-oriented, and easy to communicate with. Courtney was our listing agent and main contact. She proactively coached us throughout the process, let us know what to expect, answered any questions we had, and provided invaluable advice. She also worked closely with us to finalize the scope of house prep work and communicated with the vendors on our behalf. McKenzie was our listing manager and was the liaison to ensure regular communication among all parties. She helped coordinate with various vendors as well as with the escrow and sent us timely updates.Kate led the offers negotiation process. She and Courtney summarized all key components from the submitted offers and discussed with us on offer details. We were impressed with her negotiation skills. Knowing that there's a seasoned team looking out for us really set our minds at ease. The hardworking team truly made the complex selling process so manageable for us. The overall experience was excellent and definitely exceeded our expectations!
Well considering that I lived out of state and was in charge of a trust and needing to sell a home, the Kate McCaffrey Real Estate Agency went above and beyond in selling the home. The agency was on top of every situation that came before us and handled every bump in a timely manner. I would highly recommend this agency in either selling or finding a home for anybody. Julia Brady, my real estate agent, was an all star performer and I highly recommend her expertise and patience with any real estate needs.
