Katherine Stovall's Picture

Client Testimonials

Testimonials from my clients
 
"When I first met Kathy, I instantly felt like I had a new friend! For many months, Kathy spent endless hours showing us houses and properties, never tiring of our search of the perfect house, and always making us feel like we were the only clients she had! Not only was it an extremely pleasant and comfortable experience, Kathy also had the knowledge and resources to answer all our concerns. We never felt pressured to buy and we felt that Kathy's only concern was for us to find our perfect home. Even long after we purchased a piece of property to build our dream home, Kathy keeps in touch, not only to be certain that our building process is going well, but as a friend, always happy, and always smiling!"
~Mike & Brigit Grimm, Los Altos Hills

"Kathy was our guardian angel Realtor! She guided us to good decisions, led us through the maze of paperwork, and kept all the details in order from the listing to the closing. And all of this long-distance, from California to Texas. Her positive, professional and cheerful attitude made it all look easy and certainly made our complicated situation very easy for us"!
~Sheldon & Renee Hermanson, Los Gatos

"In our opinion, Kathy is the best there is, and I should know, having been a realtor at one time. She sold our home in Saratoga and helped us move on to our new and beautiful home which we love! We have recommended her to dear friends and she sold their home in a very short time! It was a very frenzied market with multiple offers and she handled it in a very professional manner that my friends still talk about! She is the best!!!"
~Mary & Eddie Dunn, Saratoga

"Kathy was instrumental in helping us sell our home in Los Gatos quickly and effectively! We had an offer in eight days after we listed! She helped us price it for the current market conditions in order to expedite the whole selling process as we had already found another new home to buy! Kathy also ensured that towards the end of the transaction everything would continue as planned. She paid attention to all the details and always had a back up plan should anything go awry! We would recommend her anytime and anywhere!"
~Lynn & Steve Messick, Los Gatos

"We have known Kathy Stovall for about 25 years! During that time I have never known her to be less than honest, efficient, intelligent and capable in her work as well as her personal life. she handled the sale of a property for us and I was amazed at her knowledge of the details involved and her attention to the many extra tasks which made the transaction move smoothly from start to finish. We would certainly have Kathy take care of any other real estate purchase or sale in the future. What a gal!"
~Ellie & Bob Green, Cupertino

"We found Kathy to be absolutely outstanding! She bent over backwards to make our dream of owning a home in Santa Clara a reality. She was tireless in pursuing all leads and getting us into the prefect house which had 14 other offers!! Kathy's help has extended far above and beyond what we had expected from a real estate agent. She was always accessible for questions or concerns and made buying our house a straightforward and painless experience. Even though we were out of town and both extremely busy with our medical practices, she coordinated everything flawlessly and made our transition to Northern California easy. We would recommend Kathy to our friends, family and when we look for our next house, we hope to work with her again.!!"
~Drs. Sarah & Robert Lambert, Santa Clara

"Kathy's web site is extremely helpful in finding information on local real estate. It has much more detailed information than the general MLS database which can help when searching for a new home. I also found the web notification service extremely helpful from the perspective of keeping me on top of price updates, and new listings to the market place. It definitely helped me to stay on top of the game in a very busy springtime market!! Kathy's expertise was always present and made my home buying experience a great one!!"
~Barry Doyle, Campbell

"Even though Kathy had been recommended to us by friends, we still interviewed two other agents. To say that she was way over the top of the others is an understatement! She was outstanding in all of her help and suggestions towards making our home look just tip top! Our home had six offers and she guided us through the maze of details always with our interests foremost in her mind. I only could wish that I had her here in Texas to help with my current real estate needs!"
~Julia & Ray Simpson, Saratoga

"I had already moved to Northern California, and then decided to sell my home which had been rented. Kathy handled all the details from start to finish including getting bids on painting, carpeting and fix up! Then following through to make sure everything was done right! She coordinated everything beautifully when we had 8 offers to purchase, and right through the closing date. She made everything just fit together the right way. This sale will make the fourth transaction that I have had the honor of working with Kathy! She has never let me down"
~Peggy O'Neill, Cupertino
 
"Kathy is any excellent Realtor! After establishing my preferences for what I wanted in a house, she found an ideal property that matched my needs on the first day out. It is my first home and I have enjoyed living here so much. Kathy's personal touch is still evident even after the close of escrow.I would certainly use her services again!"
~Matt Hsu, San Jose

"When we decided to start looking for our first home,there were no doubts when my parents recommended her to us. They were Kathy's very first clients when she started her real estate career 23 years ago! We had a great time when we drove around looking at places even when our little daughter had reached the end of her day. Kathy made the process less frightening for us and handled everything with wonderful professionalism. We think she is great!"
~Debbie, Peter & Rebekah Lund, San Jose

"In 1988 my husband and I decided to sell our home in Saratoga and move to Sonora. As Kathy Stovall was a good friend from our Church and a real estate agent, we decided to contact her for assistance. To start with, she visited our home and made a few suggestions as to things we could do to get the best possible price for our place. She recommended we paint the outside, make some changes to a room we used as a bar/family room, remove some furniture from our living room and make it look more like a model home. We actually put two coats of paint on the outside, because our first choice of color simply did not look right. When it came to the changes she requested in our extra room, I did not want to do that until Kathy reminded me that this was no longer going to me my home, that I already had a new one in Sonora which was dependent on the sale of the Saratoga house, and that she was the pro in this business and knew it was for the best. The next thing I knew, I was on a ladder with a crowbar removing tiles from the walls, taking the sink and bar out, etc. We rented furniture for our living room which caused my son to think he was in the wrong house when he visited one day. To make a long story short, Kathy certainly knew what she was doing. It may have cost us a little, but when we finally put it on the market, it made a big change. In March, we were told the house was valued at about $300,000 but Kathy said it was not time yet. Early in April she said it was time for an open-house. This was done over a weekend and we had two (2) offers, both of which were more than the $400,000+ we were asking. Every thing went very smoothly, thanks to Kathy, and we were able to get into our new home in Sonora right on schedule.

Then it comes to my townhouse in San Jose. My husband, Tony, died on September 10, 2001 and on November 1, 2001 our townhouse, which we rented out, was destroyed by fire. Once again, Kathy came to my rescue. With help from my Insurance agent, Kathy oversaw the rebuilding of the place and once again got me a good deal when I sold it in 2002. The contractor my Agent recommended was very good and Kathy was so impressed with his work and professionalism, she will be more than happy to use him again for other if the need ever arises for other clients. She had me put out a little extra money for landscaping and other things, but these led to my getting the best possible price on this sale.

I cannot say too much about Kathy Stovall and how honest and dependable she in for the folks she serves in her business."
