Working with Kay to sell my home was a wonderful experience. Kay was with me each step of the way, ensuring that I understood the process, as well as all the various documentations that are involved. It is a huge relief to me that Kay represented me as the seller, as I was able to lean on her expertise to make key decisions during a very quick, 21-day process from time of sale to escrow closing! What sets Kay apart is her kindness and compassion, her ability to keep calm through the difficult times, and her genuine sincerity. Not only has Kay grown in her career since I met her in 2019, but she also mentors newer realtors, which a huge service to our community. Kay is an amazing person. I wouldn't want to sell or buy a home in San Diego without Kay. Kay's sign says it all: Keep Calm and Call Kay! And I'll add to that: Kay makes things good things happen!

Kay did an excellent job in helping me to get my home sold. It sold quickly and for a price above what we were asking. I don't think I could have had a better agent helping me.

Kay went over and above to get our house sold. She and her team worked late evenings and early mornings to keep things on track even though the transaction just seemed like it wasn't meant to be. Kay persevered and made it happen. Kay is patient and extremely knowledgeable. Kay is calm and reassuring. She and her team were always available to answer questions and kept things on track. I would not hesitate to hire Kay and her team for any kind of real estate transaction.

We had the unique opportunity to use Kay as a realtor from the position of a buyer and then later as a seller. This instance we were the sellers. From both perspectives though, we found Kay to a be a very knowledgeable and professional realtor. I called her after hours and on the weekends and she was always amenable to talk and answer questions. She made me comfortable talking to her and never made me feel like I was imposing on her. She has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to real estate. She came up with a strategy to sell the property but always let us know it was our choice. If we wanted to go a different direction, she was okay with it. When she did not know the answer to a question, she had contacts who did and would get back to us after talking to them. She made a very stressful experience in selling a house a lot more tolerable knowing she was on our side. If the situation comes up, we would certainly use her again with no reservations.
