Known for her calm confidence, strategic edge, and a heart-first approach, Kathy has quickly become a go-to name for buyers, sellers, and investors across the Bay Area. Her specialty?

Raised on the Peninsula and born in San Francisco, Kathy's local roots run deep. But what truly sets her apart is how she leads with intention. Every client relationship is built on transparency and trust, not pressure. She listens, adapts, and shows up fully prepared--because real estate isn't just a transaction to her, it's a milestone in someone's life.

    As my husband and I are new to the Bay Area, Kathys local expertise was instrumental in finding our new home. She did not dismiss our questions and concerns; rather, she guided us in information gathering so we could feel confident in making decisions for ourselves. Her knowledge of the various areas helped us find the perfect neighborhood for us. I would definitely recommend her - especially if less than 30 day closes, termites on a pest report, or navigating list prices well under close are new to you!

    Fiona and Kathy are one of the best people I have met in my life! I met them at an open house in San Bruno and was immediately attracted to their people skills. We have been searching for 8 months and have seen quite a few open houses but lost 5 bids before we found a gem. It was an opportunity of a lifetime in San Mateo and we immediately sealed the deal with a swift and decisive offer. I don't know what they did but the house was appraised 210k above what I paid for so I honestly felt like the luckiest person alive when they signed the contract. Just to top it up, they bought me new a washer and dryer as house warming gifts! Truly dedicated and sincere people. You won't find any agent better than them.

    I met Kathy through a Zillow listing and 6 months later found my dream condo in Marin. I was never in a rush to find a place, I was happy with the place I was living in however wanted to find a long term investment which made sense to my budget and family needs. Kathy took the time to understand what I am looking, what is my budget and kept sending my options matching my requirements. At no point I felt the pressure to purchase something, which would usually stress me out and not want to get into home buying. Kathy is extremely professional at the same time respects you space and budget. I will definitely be recommending her to anyone looking to buy a condo or home. I cannot be happier with my first home purchase, whenever I look for anything else I know who to contact without a doubt. !!

    Working with Kathy on an exchange as both a seller and buyer has been an amazing journey with some ups and downs, but she demonstrated adaptability and professionalism when pivoting was needed. Also, greatly appreciate her personal and timely approach throughout the process, providing relevant insights and expert guidance. Thankful we had a friend in common that recommended her!

    I met Kathy through Zillow about a year ago and she connected me immediately to understand how she can help. My partner and I are first time home buyers, and we had no idea what the steps are, but she made the experience super comfortable by guiding us at many critical moments throughout the whole process. She also has multiple connections and different resources that she could provide to her clients to facilitate the process. Even though we were not fully ready to place any offers financial wise when we first met but she still provided her best advice and service. When we were finally ready to dive back in, luckily it didnt took us too long to find out perfect home, and she played a crucial role in helping us navigate the journey. I would highly recommend everyone to work with Kathy for your home buying journey as this wasnt only a purchase for us but also a great lasting relationship.
