Kathleen Rapoza

Q: 1. What advice would you give a buyer trying to purchase a home?

When purchasing a home I would advise a buyer to talk to a loan officer and get a pre-approval for a home loan before looking at homes. It is best to work with a Realtor that communicates with you and is willing to listen to what your wants and needs are. Most importantly..make sure you continue looking until you find a home you love!

Q: 2. What advice would you give a seller trying to sell their home?

When selling a home I would advise a seller to work with an experienced agent that communicates clearly, is ethical and can negotiate well. Confirm that professional photos will be done at your home and the home will be advertised extensively and will update you on the progress. I would also advise to use a Realtor that will only work for you on the sale not the buyer so there is no conflict of interest.

Q: 3. What types of clients have you worked with?

I have worked with buyers, sellers and investors over the years.

Q: 4. Describe a recent transaction you are fond of. How did it go?

My most recent memorable transaction was working with a 77 year old gentleman that was looking for his first home. I was able to find him the perfect spot to call home and on top of that I was able to get him a $15,000 credit from the seller. It was a very rewarding transaction for all involved.

Q: 5. How did you get started in Real Estate?

I got into Real Estate because my past time was viewing homes at open houses. I thought I'd make my past time my career and I'm so happy I did, I am a full time Realtor now and I love it!!

Q: 6. Do you have any special education or training that will benefit your clients?

I have a BA in Sociology and Administrative studies which helps me understand all types of clients and handle the paperwork professionally. I have also had a Real Estate course in Ethics and Negotiations that helps me in each transaction.

Kathleen was amazing to work with! As first-time home buyers, we were so nervous about the whole process. It was so nice to have a patient Realtor that was willing to quickly answer all of our questions whenever they came up. She gave us great advice and was very knowledgeable about the market. We originally wanted an older home, but then changed our minds and went for a new construction home. Years ago, I thought that real estate agents were unnecessary when buying new construction, but I am so glad that we had Kathleen on our side as we navigated the construction and purchase of our home. When we had issues with the appraisal, Kathleen worked tirelessly with the builder and with the bank in order to iron out the situation for us. When we were confused about what the builder was telling us, Kathleen would contact them directly and be our advocate. We truly could not have done this without her help. Kathleen is smart, kind, patient, and a wonderful Realtor and we were so blessed to have had her help during this 7 month home buying process. We will be highly recommending her to any of our friends and family that are home buying in the future!

Kathleen was wonderful! We purchased our first home with her. She answered all of our questions and gave us the advice we were looking for. We did not feel pressured at all. She told us she would look any number of houses we want. She is honest and very caring. I would recommend her to any family member or friend.

Kathleen was a wonderful find when we went to purchase our first home. She is very willing to work with odd schedules and usually responds immediately to questions. We had lots of questions since we had never gone through the home buying process before and she was always very patient and never pushy. She would give a professional opinion but never offer advice on something she did not know about. She was great at communicating with the seller and was always on top of any paperwork so nothing was behind or forgotten. With her we were even able to close under 30 days!

Moving from one country (Germany) to another (USA) is never easy, especially if there is no friend at the other end who can help with finding a place to stay before your arrival. Fortunately, I met Kathleen during a visit in Riverside. I have to agree that she was not the first agent I had at that time, so I was able to compare her work with other agents: Kathleen is simply THE BEST. She made excellent videos of more than ten homes in the area we had targeted and sent them to me in Germany nearly daily with all details and her expert view. We finally rent a home in the area we wanted. Next step will be to purchase a home in about a year with the professional guidance of Kathleen, of course. I highly recommend Kathleen to anyone looking for a home.

Kathleen was referred to us by a friend, and helped us immensely in our process of finding and buying a home. She was always very patient, helpful and responsive. She actively sought out possible homes for us and was always willing to schedule viewings as soon as our schedules would allow. She often took the initiative to do research for us and to provide any information/suggestions she thought would be helpful. She was very easy to work with. Throughout the entire process, she had a great attitude, always with a smile on her face, and joking along with us through the ups and downs that searching for a home can have. We would highly recommend Kathleen to anyone interested in buying a home.

Working with Kathleen was a wonderful experience. Not only is she knowledgeable and very personable, but she is patient, a good listener, concerned about your well being, and very accommodating. We were very fortunate to have found her when we left our previous realtor who was the complete opposite of Kathleen in responsiveness and professionalism.

Kathleen was amazing! Very energetic and willing to go the extra mile! We really enjoyed working with her! We started off trying to find a place on our own and that did not go so well, once we got Kathleen working for us she smoothed everything out.

Kathleen was very accessible, diligent and responsive in helping us find a home. We would highly recommend her. She set us up with a listing service to aid in our rental search. She set up all appointments provided by the listing service and worked around our schedule to show us the houses in which we were interested. She did all of the follow up with the property management companies which took a lot of the pain of finding a home off our shoulders.

Kathleen is everything you could possibly ask for in a realtor. She is a professional and gets all the work done effectively and efficiently. Best of all, she is friendly and listens to your concerns and desires. She was never pushy during our time together trying to find my very first home. I had absolute no knowledge about the time and work required to purchase a home, but Kathleen was extremely patient with me and she always gave me her full attention whenever we met. It took awhile to find a home due to it being a seller's market, so when I finally found my dream home, I wanted to offer more than their asking price. However, Kathleen being the expert that she is convinced me that it was not necessary and offering their asking price was sufficient. And she was correct. She saved me thousands of dollars and I respect that she didn't take advantage of my vulnerability. I worked with a realtor before Kathleen and he always scoffed at my offers and told me I needed to go higher.When my offer was accepted, I was extremely busy with work at the time. Kathleen offered to set up appointments for me and be present during my inspection. Without her help, I would have never been able to complete my due diligence before escrow closing. What makes Kathleen stand out above the rest is truly her compassion to help you find a home you are happy with. After moving into my new home, I had a few problems. I didn't think to call Kathleen but she happened to stop by my work to say hello (another example of her kindness) and I told her my problems. Right away, she made calls to my inspection company and home warranty company to have them correct my problems and reimburse me the service fees I paid to them. Kathleen is amazing and I am so grateful to have worked with her. I was very satisfied with her service and cannot express my appreciation enough to her. I hope anyone needing a realtor will call Kathleen. You definitely will not regret it.

First, let me start off by thanking Ms. Kathleen Rapoza for her diligent hard work throughout this difficult process. She consistently had my best interest at heart and treated the negotiations as though it was her purchase. My phone calls were almost always answered, and on the rare occasions they weren't, she returned my calls promptly. She is very efficient, professional, and her systematic updates on the the process was above and beyond the call of duty. Before my escrow closed I referred a co-work to Kathleen, who within two weeks, got an accepted offer and is now in escrow! She is very happy with Kathleen's service and loves the fact that Kathleen is not an overbearing salesman. Her genuine concern for the clients best does not go unnoticed. Being a third time home buyer, I've worked with many realtors in the past and have had good and bad experiences; my experience with Kathleen was great in every aspect. She can be trusted and will continually be highly recommended by me. Thank you, Kathleen, for taking out the frustration and making this process smooth. You are the B E S T!!
