The Moriuchi Group at Compass

To say Katie assisted us in purchasing a home that had more than a few challenges would be a huge understatement. Katie powered through daily complex challenges requiring precision strategy, tactful communication, and expert real estate transaction knowledge. She persevered when at times we were ready to give up, and did so for at least 2 months straight. Her quality of work and professionalism were unmatched. She stepped in to fill some gaps and got us all across the finish line that otherwise would have been unattainable. Her scheduling of dozens of quotes and recommending contractors was really special, an unexpected bonus.

Buying a house is scary, moving across the state of Pennsylvania is overwhelming. Katie made it all manageable, and kept us sane during the entire process. We were relocating from out of the area with basically no idea where we actually wanted to land. From the moment we met, Katie felt like an advocate who truly cared about us. It never once felt like we were dealing with a smarmy salesperson. Katie never pushed us to decide before we were ready. She showed us what our money could do in wildly different places, from way out in the boondocks to all the way into the heart of Philly. That took real time and research, and she had the patience for it. If she hadn't, we'd probably still be second-guessing where we ended up. When we found the townhouse we wanted, she got us a deal we honestly didn't think was possible. Then the closing moved fast, and she kept things from turning into a panic. Every deadline hit. Nothing slipped through the cracks. She was ahead of it the whole time. The inspection stage is where we really saw her experience. Katie's lived in historic Philly townhomes herself, so she actually knows what matters in an old city house versus what's just something expensive you check off the list. Instead of handing us some generic inspection report, she walked us through what was worth the money on this specific property and why. It saved us from throwing money at things that didn't matter and from missing actual problems. The negotiation part deserves its own thing. There was a lot of back and forth with the sellers. Katie managed all of it without letting it get ugly or stressful on our end. She advocated for us hard, but never made it adversarial. She'd tell us what she thought, why she thought it, and then let us make the call. What caught us off guard was how much she gave us beyond just closing the deal. Restaurant recommendations, actual neighborhood advice, the practical stuff about living here that nobody warns you about when you're moving to a new city. She treated us like we were going to be neighbors, not like we were just a file to close. We got a house we love, at a price we're happy with, in a neighborhood that is perfect for us. And Philly actually started feeling like home pretty quickly. If you're buying anywhere in the Philadelphia area, whether you're coming from far away or looking for a change nearby, Katie's who you want.

Katie was an absolute godsend throughout our first home-buying experience! She made what could have been an overwhelming process feel easy, seamless, andaEUR"most importantlyaEUR"manageable. And she is FAST! Her communication was incredibly quick, she was always patient and flexible, she also never made us feel like we were asking too many questions. Thanks to Katies dedication, responsiveness, and kindness, we successfully closed on our very first house in what felt like record time! We are so incredibly grateful for everything she did for us, especially during what was an undeniably crazy and stressful time. We couldnt have asked for a better person to have in our corner and would recommend Katie to anyone looking to buy a home!

We went into this process deeply skeptical that a buyer's agent was worth it. Katie Kunz changed our minds entirely, and we could not have bought our house without her. Katie was involved at every stage aEUR" not just showing us properties, but managing communication between every party, drafting and reviewing documents (and even emails too!), and staying on top of details that would otherwise have fallen through the cracks. She repeatedly (and without prompting) went beyond what we understood an agent's role to be, and she did it well. Her commitment, productivity, and reliability all mattered to us, but we also appreciated her judgment. Buying a house involves dozens of small decisions that are hard to assess alongside each other, and Katie consistently helped us maintain a big picture perspective, thinking clearly about tradeoffs. She never pushed us toward a decision; she made sure we understood what we were choosing between. She was also extraordinarily gracious with our family throughout, navigating an assortment of strong opinions with patience and genuine empathy. She is one of the most competent people we have ever worked with in any context. If you are looking for the best agent, hire Katie. If you're on the fence about whether you need an agent, just hire Katie. If you don't want an agent...you should probably still hire Katie.

Working with Jane was such a great experience from beginning to end. We were buying a home in a town that was completely new to us, and she made us feel comfortable with both the house and the area. She even put together a date day for my wife and me to explore town, which was such a thoughtful touch and really helped us picture our family living there. Jane made the purchasing process feel easy. She handled the back-and-forth with the sellers, helped us find movers, and was always available when something came up. Even after we closed, she continued checking in to see how we were settling in. You can tell Jane really cares about her clients beyond just getting a deal done. Were so happy we worked with her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
