    Katy and her team are the BEST!!! Katy is very knowledgeable about the constantly changing market. She comes up with a full play game strategy. From timing of on-market date to sales pitching and contract negotiations, she has our home in contract within the first week of on-market. She moves obstacles in the way before closing escrow. Her confidence eases our anxiety. Thank you, Katy and the team. We are very grateful to have you as our realtor!

    Katy and her entire team were incredible with a very challenging sale of a family home because of divorce and on the happier end of helping me seamlessly move into my dream home. The professionalism and kindness were the perfect combination during a tough transition. I cant say enough great things about Katy and her team. I will be forever grateful for everything they did. Above and beyond!!!

    I came across Lena when I went to the open house for which Lena is the listing agent. I was very impressed with Lena's professionalism and diligence. I immediately decided to hire her as my buyer agent. Lena well exceeded my expectation. She has very strong ecosystem network that she can be a true one-stop shop for any step during the entire home purchasing process. She is very responsive, very efficient and effective. She is also a good negotiator that can help her client to form the right strategy along the offering process. I eventually got the home we loved with Lena's help.

    We had the absolute pleasure of working with Katy Straser and her team during our home-buying journey, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! From our very first meeting, Katy demonstrated exceptional knowledge and it was clear that she was a "closer"! Katy and her team took the time to understand our needs and preferences, and guided us through every step of the process with patience and expertise. What truly set Katy apart was the commitment to ensuring we found the home that perfectly met our needs and desires. They were always available to answer questions and provided insightful advice while always being willing to take into account our push backs or concerns. Their attention to detail and excellent negotiation skills helped us secure an amazing deal. Thanks to Katy and her team, we are now the proud owner of a beautiful home that our family absolutely loves. If you're looking for a dedicated, professional, and genuinely caring realtor, go for the Straser team. They are absolutely fantastic!

    Lena was an absolute rockstar throughout this entire transaction. She was always available, provided invaluable expertise and was truly in our corner. We can't wait for Lena to represent us on some of our homes when we sell! 10/10 recommend!
