One day out of the blue I called Kathy. She asked what I was looking for in a home. I told her several things and she said I have the house you're looking for. Just like that we were doing a walk thru. I immediately loved the home, it had everything we were looking for. She got on board and helped us all the way through. I feel Kathy was a great asset in our home search. If we had questions she had the answers or if she didn't she would find them.
She's good at what she does. Thus why her business is called Fivestar Realty Pros.

I spent nearly five months trying to find a house that was a good fit for me. I was picky and had a low budget I wanted to stay under. I asked Kathy to get disclosures on different houses, show several houses to me around the area, and to make bids for me on a few of them. I know I wasn't the easiest customer. Kathy was always patient and had a positive attitude. She was willing to do whatever she could to help find my home and we finally got a really great place. Thank You Kathy!
