"Kathryn is a consummate professional who allayed my parent's stress and anxiety about purchasing a home from across the county. She was perfect with every step. Kathryn knows the market, and her thoughtful approach to obtaining feedback helped us efficiently find a home that addressed my parent's wants and needs. With her thorough attention to detail, she continued to guide us through the purchase and closing processes deftly. We sincerely appreciate her caring and knowledgeable approach and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking real estate services." Thao on behalf of Quan and Anh Tran, Buyers, Issaquah WA

★★★★★
"Kathryn was as welcoming as she was professional in all aspects as our real estate agent. A combination of her interpersonal skills and overarching knowledge of the market makes her unmatched, and also made us feel as comfortable as possible during the purchase of our first home. She had an overall tenacity and was always pushing above and beyond -- all the way past the end of closing. We would absolutely recommend her and her services to anyone that has real estate needs."  Ryan and Remi Sands, Buyers, Seattle WA

★★★★★
"It was quite a pleasure to interact with Kathryn! She is friendly, fun, upbeat, very professional, and handled the entire process wonderfully. I can't tell you the number of businesses that have dropped the customer service ball over the past few years. Kathryn and her company are on the top of the list for any company I have dealt with in years. Lee and I will definitely recommend Kathryn Freitas to all friends we come across. Tim Pearson, Seller, Carnation, WA

★★★★★
"Kathryn is amazing! As first-time home buyers in a hot market like Seattle, we were very apprehensive when we started our home search. Kathryn was a great resource for us – she helped explain the ins and outs of home offers, things that could grab sellers’ attention, and ways we could try to stretch our dollar further. She proactively found places that met our wish list and explained the pros and cons of each property. She was very accommodating to my wife and my busy work schedule, taking time out of the day during the week and weekends to set up tours at whatever time worked for us. Kathryn was open and honest with us about what would be a competitive offer for a given home and whether she thought the offer we could afford would be competitive. Once we found the right house, Kathryn coached us through the negotiation process to ensure we came out on top. Once we started the escrow process Kathryn helped us to understand the different documents we’d be signing and gave us lists of companies to contact to set up utilities as the closing date approached and gave us recommendations for contractors and home inspectors in the area. Working with Kathryn was a true pleasure, and we’d highly recommend her to anyone looking to find their dream home." Taylor and Jessica Clark, Buyers, Woodinville, WA

★★★★★
"I cannot say enough good things about Kathryn. The combination of experience, confidence, warmth, and kindness that she provided made our house-buying experience as stress-free as it possibly could be. Kathryn was a godsend in negotiating our deal and she went above and beyond to take care of closing details for us while we were out of state. I would recommend Kathryn in a heartbeat to anyone needing real estate services in the Seattle area." Julie Young, Buyer, Kirkland, WA

★★★★★
"Kathryn was the quintessential real estate professional in working with us to purchase our home. She demonstrated superior knowledge of the market, business savvy, and persistence to ensure that all of the critical details were handled in a difficult closing situation. We would not have ended up in our dream home without her constant dedication to us as clients." Net and Diane Payne, Buyers, the only Frank Lloyd Wright design home on Big Island of HI

We enthusiastically and wholeheartedly recommend Kathryn to anyone buying or selling a home on the Big Island." Mike and Laurie Padron, Buyers, Waimea, HI

★★★★★
"Waimea is not an easy market to find the right property at the right price; Kathryn delivered on her promise to leave no stone unturned. She has the personal network, professional expertise, and brokerage firm resources to provide the highest level of residential realtor services. Kathryn is a gifted listener: she can effectively listen to a client's desires, requirements, and constraints, then ask a few key questions and quickly convert that information into a precise real estate search that WILL succeed in finding the perfect property.

★★★★★
"Our real estate agent, Kathryn Freitas, did a magnificent job representing us. Kathryn was most efficient in covering all the bases and was a pleasure to work with throughout the process." Bruce and Sindy Nevins, Buyers, Mauna Lani Resort, HI

★★★★★
"When we decided to relocate our family, it was great to have Kathryn as our tour guide, agent, and friend as we began looking at houses. One of Kathryn’s best qualities is her ability to listen. By asking the right questions and keeping her ears open, it did not take long for her to get us looking at homes that addressed our needs and desires. Within one weekend, she had located our dream home and the process began. This is where Kathryn Freitas shines. When attempting to move from one island to another, there are so many people and services that require attention and coordination. Kathryn took care of all of these details for us. Our property was in a rather remote area of Honoka’a, but you would never know it by the way that Kathryn took care of us. There were many times when she stepped up and handled issues that required an IN-PERSON interaction that would have been impossible from Maui. Throughout this entire process, we felt like our best interests were always Kathryn's highest priority. We have purchased 3 properties over the past 10 years and this was far and away the highest level of Realtor service and performance that we have had. If you want to work with the best in the business, you should contact Kathryn Freitas and enjoy the ride! "Andrew Crawford, Buyer, Hamakua Coast, HI
