I’d call Kathryn a rock star, except that rock stars probably don’t work as hard! She was super helpful, on top of every one of the million or so questions we had.

Just a quick note to thank you so much for all of your hard work on my house.
Moral Integrity and Ethical
Cindy and I both thank you for your hard work, insight and moral integrity / ethical values. You made the process open and understandable to us and did it with warmth and grace.
The schlep across town with sleeping children at 10 pm on Friday night to deliver keys was above and beyond the call of duty!

Quite simply, Kathryn King is the best. A pleasure to work with during what is for many, myself included, a stressful time. Kathryn knows her stuff. And in this super-heated market she developed a winning strategy for the house I bought – which I consider no small feat! Kathryn is calm, knowledgeable, above and beyond helpful and a wonderful person. Can’t recommend her enough!
Feedback
Kathy – you did a marvelous job of giving us feedback concerning the reality of home selling – w/o being too demanding – you are a very classy real estate agent who is honest, informed, and diplomatic, but also firm, when you need to be (i.e. – final addendum)! Thank you – Nancy

Could Not Ask for More
Kathryn could not have been more helpful. I was new to Portland and needed much direction, which she happily provided.

Always on top of things, she made my home purchase run very smoothly. Highest recommendation.
