“With this being my first home purchase, I had no clue what I was signing up for when I began shopping for a home. There are so many procedural nuances to navigate; so much red tape! Fortunately, Katherine is a veteran of trade and knows this process extremely well. I can’t stress enough how important this quality is in choosing a realtor — particularly in a competitive market like Seattle. I’ll break this review up and focus on each phase of the buying process: First, the shopping phase: Katherine will take the time to truly understand what you’re looking for in a home. She and I met for over an hour before we even started shopping just so she could make sure we were on the same page. Within an hour of leaving our coffee date, she was proactively sending me listings that met my criteria and setting up tours. One of the homes we toured that evening is the home I ended up buying (and love!) so obviously my preferences were well understood. Next, the offer phase: This is really where Katherine shines. She is well connected and knows how to leverage her resources to give her clients a leg up. We put together a strong offer that ultimately won the day against its competition. I’m confident this is a direct reflection of her expertise: she knew exactly how much to offer (we still came in under listing price!) and she even managed to negotiate a free air conditioner for me in the deal. Following that, we moved on to the dreaded waiting phase: You should all understand that buying a home is a wild ride. For the first week or so, a ton of stuff happens: paperwork, the inspection, the appraisal. Katherine held my hand and got me through all of it stress-free. But after you get over the initial hump, things come to a halt and nothing happens for weeks. It’s extremely hard to not get anxious during this phase, and that’s where Katherine’s soft skills come into play. She’d call me with her upbeat attitude every few days just to let me know things were still sailing smoothly and I had nothing to worry about. I found this to be immensely helpful. Finally, the closing phase: Katherine called me a couple of days before closing to talk over the closing details with me. A lot happens here so I had a lot of questions that she easily cleared up. The night of closing, she met me at my new condo to hand deliver my keys and a lovely gift basket. I’m not sure who was more excited: her or me. The main point I want to illustrate here is that a realtor is more than just a broker and it pays to be selective with yours. Any agent worth their salt can shop and sign forms, but only established experts know their markets, have extensive relationships with others in the industry, and can provide that much needed guidance for the countless questions you’ll inevitably have along the way. Katherine was much more than just a realtor and advocate to me; she was a partner. I feel very fortunate to have had her in my corner and while I intend to stay put for a long time, she’s the only person I ever want to work with when the time comes to shop again.”

“We absolutely loved working with Katherine! As first time home buyers we went in knowing very little and she made the process as easy as possible. She really listened to our needs and wants and helped us find the home of our dreams. When it came down to the wire, she helped negotiate on our behalf to get us where we wanted to be. She gave us good advice and never once steered us in the wrong direction. We are happy to call Katherine a friend after this process and would highly recommend her to anyone.”

“Katherine was an absolute delight to work with. We were really interested in a home that she had listed. The home was listed at a price which was way above our budget. However, once we spoke to her and she got an idea of our budget, she was able to negotiate the home price with the sellers to fit our budget. Once we bought the home, we requested her presence too many times at the home because we wanted to show it to all our friends and relatives one by one. She never complained one bit! She knew everything about the home because she had a really great relationship with the sellers and that home particularly. She was super fast in responding to our calls/messages. I'd definitely recommend Katherine to anyone looking to buy a new home or sell their home. She has great negotiation skills, is really fast at responding and has a really good idea about the whole process in the Seattle area because of her tremendous amount of experience in the field.”

“We hired Katherine Vincent at Windermere to sell our home in Kirkland and she sold it within 3 weeks. My husband and I have bought and sold more than a dozen homes with top-rated agents over the years and have never dealt with any realtor who works harder than Katherine. She markets your home as if it were her own; she brought in a high-quality photographer and stager and developed a beautiful brochure and online materials that were top-notch. She conducts every Open House herself (every weekend) and knows all the key selling points inside and out. We felt like partners with Katherine throughout the process and not just a client – and in the end, we had a good friend. We highly recommend Katherine and we would hire her again.”

“If you are looking for a professional to market and sell your home, look no further. I needed to sell my home quickly, and I didn't want to deal with any of the details that I knew needed to be addressed...new paint, carpet, etc, and I knew my place needed a facelift in general. I am not exaggerating when I tell you Katherine was the answer to my prayers. She mapped out a schedule, coordinated appointments with flooring companies and painters, she did ALL THE WORK. All I had to do was approve carpet and paint color. She set everything up, and made sure that every detail was perfect. The icing on the cake was she arranged for my home to be staged, and hired a photographer to take pictures and shoot a video. I DID NOTHING. A week before my property went on the market, Katherine contacted real estate agents that had recently listed and sold properties close to mine so they could reach out to clients that were potentially interested in the area. In short, my home went on the market, had an offer for over asking price the next day, and successfully closed 30 days later. All I did was sign the contract. Listen to me when I tell you, Katherine is the utmost in professionalism and knows what she is doing! Easiest transaction of my life, and I would recommend her for any listing. She treated my townhouse like it was a $3 million dollar listing. Do yourself a favor, and look no further than Katherine Vincent. You will be so glad you have her on your side. Thank you Katherine!”

“We loved working with Katherine to find our home last year! When we started out, we were prepared for a long, stressful and overwhelming process, but Katherine made it fun and helped take as much pressure off as possible. She is extremely knowledgeable and responsive and always got back to us as quickly as possible. She gives great advice, and with her help and guidance, we were able to find and purchase our dream home in the area we wanted to live. We would highly, highly recommend Katherine to anyone looking for a wonderful agent in the area!”

“I have never experienced such great service as I did with Katherine Vincent as my realtor. She is truly amazing. When we decided to list our Seattle home, she was invaluable in helping us price the house correctly by providing ton of comps and by also sharing her deep knowledge of the current market. She then walked through the house and meticulously gave us suggestions as to what to do to improve its sale. We did some of the work ourselves and hired others to help us, and when we didn't know who to hire, Katherine had a long list of highly skilled people. Katherine had a top rate photographer shoot our house, arranged for drone shots to be taken, too, and had a wonderful video created walking people through. Everything happened on schedule and just as Katherine said it would. Our house sold quickly and she was there every step pf the way to give us advice. As if that wasn't enough, Katherine then found our next house. We were making different plans, but she suggested we go see this house that had just come on the market, saying she knew we'd love it. And we did. We put an offer in, and Katherine was instrumental, in a very competitive market, in making sure it was accepted. She made sure we were happy here and followed up. She is professional, kind, considerate, and knowledgeable. I can't recommend anyone on the planet earth more than I would Katherine Vincent.”
