ZillowVERIFIEDWorking with Kate Raftery was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. She helped my mother find the perfect home close to me and stayed within her budget, which was very important to us. Throughout the entire process, she was caring, professional, and always available to answer questions. She consistently reached out with updates on the settlement process and made sure we stayed informed about everything that needed to be done. Her communication and attention to detail gave me peace of mind during what could have been a stressful experience. Even after closing, she continues to check in on my mother to see if she needs anything, which truly shows how much she cares about her clients. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, dedicated, and compassionate real estate professional!

ZillowVERIFIED Exceptional and professional. We have sold our previous homes but this experience was by far the best. From our initial presentation and straightforward thinking all our questions were answered. Katherine helped us sell our home in the over 55 Trotters Pointe in tinton falls . Especially with the narrow demographic Katherine knew how to reach the buyers. She was able through her various social media handles reach out beyond Monmouth county, she hosted open houses at different times of the day as well as a twilight wine & cheese open house, & invited our neighbors in the development which made the whole process so much easier. As far as negotiation skills she is so intelligent , with the thoughtful approach & patience in answering all questions. If you are looking for a professional to sell your home dont look any further. Katherine & her team are always available & answers every question you may have. Thank you !!

ZillowVERIFIED Kate was wonderful to work with for buying our home! We had previously worked with another agent for over a year, but after switching to work with Kate, we found our home and got a winning bid in 3 months! She was very realistic on setting price expectations and helping us navigate a crazy sellers market while keeping our best interest in mind. She also made the home search exciting again after we were completely burnt out from losing on 5+ bids with our previous agent. I would highly recommend Kate to anyone looking for a home!

ZillowVERIFIED We were very lucky to be introduced to Kate, who worked very closely with us throughout the entire home-buying process. She is very knowledgeable about the Monmouth County area and took us to many different properties to help us find the best fit for our family. When we found the home we were interested in, she moved very quickly throughout the process to ensure we had the strongest offer. Overall, she is trustworthy, responsive, and has great connections. Thank you for helping us find a great first home for our family!

ZillowVERIFIED I don't have enough great things to say about working with Kate Raftery! My boyfriend and I were about to give up the home searching process after working with another agent for almost a year. But my friend told me I should call her realtor, who was Kate. So we did! The day after Christmas we went to go look at a house and it just wasn't the one, But Kate had a backup plan and showed us a house that just got listed that day and she said do you guys wanna go look at it and we said yeah sure! We fell in love with the house it was everything we wanted! We put in an offer and Kate spoke to the sellers agent and miraculously got our offer accepted! Since it was an REO (foreclosure) it was a very difficult, drawn out process due to the bank being difficult. But Kate did EVERYTHING in her power to make it easier on us and explained everything and answered all of our thousands of questions. She has been so incredibly helpful and has gone above and beyond throughout the whole process! This was our first home purchase and I'm soooo happy we called Kate! We just closed on the house yesterday and moved in today and I can honestly say it wouldn't have been possible without Kate!!!

ZillowVERIFIED Kate was a huge asset when it came to buying our home. Her responsiveness to any questions or concerns we had was always timely and she always went that actual mile to make us feel comfortable about the home we were buying. Her knowledge of local vendors, contractors, landscapers, etc. was a huge help as it allowed us to hit the ground running once we closed on our property. It's been 1 month since we moved in and Kate is still checking in on us and asking if there is anything she can do to help. Very glad we found Kate!

ZillowVERIFIED Kate was absolutely unbelievable. After we lost our home due to Hurricane Ida, we got to work looking for our new, forever home. She made herself readily available to us to go see properties at any time of the day and had unparalleled responsiveness via text, phone and email. She is a master negotiator and she and her team got us closed on our new home in 30 days! She's also the nicest person ever, and I would highly recommend her to anybody looking to buy in New Jersey. As a buyer, she was the best advocate we could've ever asked for. Trust me, you want Team Raftery on your side!

ZillowVERIFIED What a blessing to have worked with Kate! As first time homebuyers, the home buying process at times can be overwhelming. Kate made the whole process as smooth as possible. She answered every single call and question we had super quickly and acted promptly to avoid any issues. She went above and beyond in every possibly manner to make sure everything along the way was in order. To further describe how amazing and hardworking Kate is: at almost full term pregnancy, Kate would visit multiple houses a day to send videos of the properties to us as we lived in NYC during the home buying process. She is superwoman! And truly an inspiration. Her guidance was invaluable. Her knowledge is top tier. And most importantly, her personality made us feel comfortable to express our concerns without fear of judgement. Overall, Kate is an amazing realtor! We are so lucky to have worked with her and cant wait to recommend her to family and friends starting the home buying process. Thank you so much, Kate! No words could truly capture the gratitude we have for having you on our team during such a big life event!

ZillowVERIFIED It was an absolute pleasure working with Kate. Our closing was delayed due to an issue not in our control and Kate kept us updated at all times, and worked hard to get us to closing. She is a wealth of information and provides amazing customer service. I would recommend her to everyone I know who wants to list or buy and I have! Thanks again Kate !

ZillowVERIFIED Kate was a great resource to have in a hard market to be a buyer. She is a hard worker and will go above and beyond to help secure a deal. She thought outside the box during negotiations that helped secure a house that had 7 other offers. Her local knowledge from being born and raised locally goes a long way when looking around Monmouth county.

ZillowVERIFIED We were so lucky to work with Kate to buy our first house. She was so knowledgeable about the area and market and was able to help us buy a beautiful home that is perfect for our growing family.

ZillowVERIFIED We worked with Katherine Raftery for months trying to find the perfect house for our growing family. From the start Kate worked tirelessly to help us find our dream home! Once we had our offer accepted on a home she helped us with every. single. detail. During an incredibly difficult closing process, Kate went above and beyond to help us get into our house, coordinating with the VERY difficult seller, contractors, township, inspectors, etc. I am so thankful for Kate, her persistence, her knowledge & her natural nature to care for her clients. I have already recommended her to several family members and will continue to recommend her over the years! Thank you Kate!!!

ZillowVERIFIED We Were very fortunate to meet Kate. She always went over and above to help us in whatever way she could she was not the agent for the sale of our house we met her as we were looking for a new home. With that being said she did everything she possibly could to help us even with the sale of our home I would highly recommend her

ZillowVERIFIED Kate Raftery is truly the most skilled & tenacious realtor we have ever worked with. We were so fortunate to have met her especially since our transaction involved a private purchase of a multi-family lot. It was a complex process with lots of moving parts. Kate handled it all so seamlessly and professionally, it was truly amazing to see. We don't know where we would be without Kate (honestly!!) She is a true gem and our forever realtor!

ZillowVERIFIED Worked with Kate regarding selling my home as I was going to relocate to North Carolina for work. Kate did all the leg work for me and was pleasant and nice when I didnt end up having to move. She knows her stuff and got my home ready to be listed along with my wife and myself. If I ever do move I will be giving Kate a call!

ZillowVERIFIED Kate and I are currently are working on finding a beach house in Northern Monmouth. This market is impossible and Kate deals with negotiations without ruffled feathers. She calms me down when I get over anxious about the homes I am interested in. Truly great to work with! Hopefully we win a bid soon.
