It was absolutely great working with Katie, she was professional, patient, and knowledgeable about the market. She sold our condo in 7 days with multiple offers over asking price! Couldn't ask for a better realtor! I highly recommend her!
We worked with Katie to find a place in Laguna with some local appeal and beach proximity. She was with us throughout the entire process and made sure to follow up with promptly and thoroughly. Even after we moved in, Katie stayed close to the process and made sure all was going well.
Katie is not just professional and very capable but so pleasant to work with. I was apprehensive of the process because of past experiences but Katie could not have made the sale of my Mother's house any easier. She was beyond helpful and attentive through the entire process, she understood our specific needs and addressed every question promptly. I highly recommend Katie Houlahan for any real estate transaction and look forward to working with her again!
