Knoell Homes Realty - Cathy Knoell Manager

Cathy is an excellent realtor. I had four young children and one on the way when we were searching and she helped me stay organized so that I could remember details of every home we saw. She even made me a notebook to keep all of the information in. She knows the city of Phoenix really well because she grew up here, and that helped us figure out what neighborhoods would work best for us. We are really picky and our needs were very specific, and she was really patient with us as we looked for several months. Finally, when the perfect house came On the market, we were out of state for Christmas. She was instrumental in making that purchase happen by communicating really well and quickly with the sellers on our behalf. Her response time is very quick and she always has all the details in order. She was right there with us from looking at our first property to sitting with us through the closing and answering all our questions. We are so glad we chose to work with Cathy and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone else who is looking for an excellent, highly ethical realtor.

It went great! Cathy is the consummate professional, and comes from a family with decades of experience in the Phoenix/Scottsdale real estate and construction fields. She knew my tastes and what areas and homes would appeal to me and fit my needs, and found me the perfect home at a great price, which allowed me to do some renovations. She was punctual, efficient, upbeat, energetic, and a true pleasure to work with. I could count on getting honest input from her, and feedback on the numerous properties we viewed. She took the initiative to explore other areas that I hadn't initially considered, and expand the number of properties for viewing. This was extremely helpful in seeing what was available on the market, the market prices and trends, and in narrowing down exactly what I was looking for. I have already recommended her to friends and family and will continue to do so. It was easy to have confidence in Cathy's abilities, experience, and people-skills, which she consistently demonstrated.

Cathy was such a wonderful help, knowledgeble, very dependable and quick to respond to all our questions and needs. We found a perfect home, in the neighborhood we desired. Cathy was right there with us through each step and we couldn't be happier with her work!!

Cathy Knoell is the finest realtor around! She has vast knowledge of the home market in the Valley for buyers as well as sellers. She led us to a neighborhood that perfectly fit our needs. We are so happy here. Cathy encouraged us to consider all aspects of the lots to select just the right one--- and from that we found a lot with gorgeous views and lots of privacy. She even helped us consider the best upgrade options to add the most value to our home. She is honest, hardworking, very attentive, personable, and truly cares about what her customers need. I would HIGHLY recommend getting in touch with her if you are even considering buying or selling your home.

It went very well. Because my parents are very elderly and we were out of state, Cathy handled every detail at that end, going way, way beyond what a selling agent would typically do! She is awesome!

Kathy performs purfect, always ready and very very responsive. Polite. A friend once told me , when you look for a real estate agent - find a Doberman with lipstick. This might describe Mrs. Kathy Knoell ? She really has been infused with a great desire for putting others first !! Kathy was able to find exactly what I was looking for. Kathy is very professional.i strongly recommend Kathy Knoell

We purchased a home at a significantly lower price than the asking price. Cathy negotiated with the seller and we were successful in buying our home well under asking price. As part of the purchase Cathy had great recommendations for a lender and an inspection service which was very helpful in the smooth transaction. Cathy was very patient as we looked at many different properties in our home search. She was very flexible in meeting on our schedule and has excellent communication throughout the process. We highly recommend Cathy Knoell!

We have worked with Cathy before, and as always, she provides superlative service. Her communication is top-notch, which creates a business relationship based on honesty and integrity. We always felt like Cathy represented our best interests and her opinions were based on our real estate goals and what would be the best for us. Cathy is remarkably thorough and was extremely responsive. We highly recommend her for her experience and professionalism.

She patiently showed me 85 homes before I found the one I wanted! It went very well

I had contacted Cathy twice before in three years to sell our house, but we never listed it. I figured the third time I called her she may decide against representing us. But she showed up just as eager as the first time. This was during a sales boom so it wasn't like she was sitting around waiting for a phone call. Cathy, it seems, just sees everything as an opportunity/challenge! We listed our home and in 5 days we had an offer. Now some of this was the market at the time. But some of it was that Cathy knew what the house needed BEFORE it was listed to put it in the best possible light for potential buyers. We agreed to all of it and our house sold quickly because of it. You should have seen the photos! I really like that Cathy doesn't let things fall through the cracks. She stays on top of the entire process to make sure your home sells as quickly as possible. And she tries to make it as easy on you as possible. If you're into technology she can do things electronically (texts, emails, etc). If you are more comfortable doing things with paper or phone calls, she can do that too. Simply put, Cathy is the best real estate agent I've ever known or worked with. She goes the extra mile! Her sales numbers show that I'm not alone in trusting her with my largest asset. Give her a call!

This sale went as smooth as can be & I will hire Cathy again when I'm ready to buy my next home!

We recently relocated, leaving Arizona. We hired Cathy to act as our seller's agent and were extremely impressed throughout the process. We moved on short notice, and several maintenance projects needed to be completed prior to the sale. We had already left the area and Cathy was invaluable in managing these projects, having the house cleaned and getting it ready for market. Our house was under contract within two weeks of listing, and we recently closed. Cathy was extremely knowledgeable, responsive and working with her was a delight. We highly recommend her.

We met Cathy while we were in Arizona for a few days. She came thoroughly prepared with comparables and she made suggestions to show the property in the best possible light. We also discussed the timing of the listing. Cathy kept everything moving ahead smoothly even though we were out of town. She recommended a team of professional and reasonably priced contractors to help us get the property looking its best. She coordinated locally with them to do the work since we could not meet with them in person. We always felt we were in good hands with Cathy. She is an excellent communicator. She stayed in touch with us by phone, texts and emails. She kept us updated on a regular basis. Once the property was listed, we received several cash offers for the property. Within a few weeks, we received a cash offer at the listing price. Cathy is an excellent realtor that knows what needs to be done to get the property sold and she makes the process as easy as possible. She is also a good person to work with. We highly recommend her.

Planning to relocate to Phoenix from the mid-west, we found Cathy on Angie's List. From the first phone call, we knew we had found a gem. Cathy listened to our goals and concerns and provided excellent advice on the various areas of Phoenix and what we could expect for community culture, price, traffic, shopping, everything! Because our knowledge of desert living was limited, she also was a valuable resource for the "What about....?" questions like landscaping, pool maintenance, summer heat. Unlike all the real estate agents on the television house hunter shows, she never tried to up-sell from our specified budget. In addition, she gave us honest information which may have cost a sale, for example, "I know you like this floor plan but the property backs up to a very busy street. Even if the noise doesn't bother you, it may be an issue for resale." How many real estate agents do that? We made multiple trips to Phoenix for marathon house viewings - as many as 19 in one three day period - and she had everything scheduled, mapped out, printed and organized to make it easy for us to manage such a schedule. She responds promptly, provides complete and accurate information, is a fun, pleasant person, and truly represents your best interests. Cathy Knoell is a 10!

Very professional from the get go... Had a wonderful listing presentation, very detailed, showed me all the comparables, discussed and explained the whole listing process, current market conditions and what to expect with the sale on my property. After signing with her to list our property we were very pleased with her continually professionalism, promptness in answering our questions and keeping us informed with the showings, buyer agents correspondence and offers. She also walked us through the whole process up until a successfully closing. She also pays for and has some of the most amazing photos taken of the property. I have seen and looked at numerous MLS house photos and i must say her photographer takes some of the best housing photos i have ever seen. I would definitely recommend her if you are thinking of listing your property or buying a property. I have an inactive real estate license and having been a licensed real estate Agent in the state of AZ and i can surely say she is truly one of the very best agents you can wish for when selling or buying a property.

I've had very good experiences with them. They worked really hard to take care of us and the customer. They also followed through on the deal that we're working on. They always came very prepared.

We found Cathy through Angieslist and contacted her in early Feb, she responded immediately and met with us the very next weekend. As it was our 1st home, we had so many questions and criteria, Cathy handled all of it very well. Her responses showed experience and good knowledge in the real estate business. She understood clearly what we were looking for, and had our search set up accordingly. I was amazed by the material she had prepared for our visits to all properties, it was thorough and designed w.r.t our needs. As our apt lease was ending, we wanted to find the house asap and we asked Cathy to meet on weekdays - we were surprised by how quickly she arranged all our visits and squeeze b/w her prev appointments and Most importantly, she always used to be there ahead of time :). She never pushed us to make a quick decision, gave us all space and suggestions which helped us narrowing our criteria, making a well informed decision. She gave us the right info/comparisons in placing the offer for our house.. After the offer got accepted, she articulated the contract addendums nicely, got papers e-signed, all in all the entire process from start to the end was a smooth ride. Quick turnaround times, responsiveness to emails/messages and her attention to detail propelled our boat to the new happiness shore. Happy Campers! Overall experience was wonderful and we really enjoyed our house hunting journey with Cathy :)

Cathy was very personable and knowledgeable of the Phoenix/Scottsdale real estate market. In addition she showed me many homes as my search was not an easy one. She gave great advice, and didn't pressure me in any way like a lot of other realtors. She was also with me during my closing process and stayed in touch even after I had made a bid on a home (most realtors check out at this point). I would recommend anyone looking for a home in the area to use Cathy - she is a great realtor and a very enjoyable person to work with.

I called Cathy and she set up an appointment with me for the very next day. She showed up on time and had all the material and information I needed to help me make my decision. In the end, I decided to stay put for the next year. Cathy was honest with me, and she sincerely directed me in such a way that I could freely decide to make the best decision for me. She was not a hard sell at all. I'll be keeping in touch with Cathy and when the time comes for me to sell, Cathy will be my realtor and I look forward to working with her.

Nice, punctual, on-time, very thorough, will make time for you when it's important. Closed the deal well. Very reasonable and has much experience. Impressed with documentation she brought the first day we met on the properties that I inquired about (including 3 comps), well organized (in person and her website), and the knowledge she had when asked questions. I'd recommend her to anyone.

Cathy is nothing short of amazing. I moved from south Chandler to Scottsdale, so was used to beautiful new neighborhoods at much more reasonable prices than is found in Scottsdale. When we first started looking within the necessary school district, it was so hard to believe that for $100K more, the neighborhoods were such a lower quality of life than I was used to. Cathy never gave up though, and ended up finding me the perfect hidden gem in my number one choice of a neighborhood. Besides working her magic, Cathy was incredibly professional and proactive, anticipating and taking action on every need. I've moved more times than I care to admit, and never thought buying a house could be anything but stressful. Cathy took on everything herself, leaving me to sit back and enjoy the experience.

Cathy is phenomenal! I have never had the pleasure of working with someone as responsive and hardworking as she is. I've moved a lot for work, and this made the fifth home that I'd sold. I had resigned myself to what a stressful, difficult process this would be, but Cathy changed my paradigm 180 degrees. She handled every detail quickly and thoroughly. I made more on my house than I had expected, and couldn't believe what a great experience it was in the process. I will use Cathy Knoell every time I buy or sell in the Phoenix metropolitan area.

It is unfortunate the previous member lacked the technical ability to pick up the phone and call Cathy to confirm (after 2 weeks???). if his initial email was received. I would submit he likely ?fat fingered? the email attempt and it never was transmitted properly as my wife and I, and the responding membership of Angie?s List, have found Cathy to be prompt in responding to contacts as well as being organized, prepared and professional. My wife and I chose to relocate to the Phoenix area in the fall of 2012. We decided to give Cathy a call based on the number of positive reviews she received here in Angie?s List. Thank goodness we didn?t see the previous review or we would have missed working with the best agent we have ever met! After a phone interview we agreed to meet Cathy to determine if she would be the right professional for us to work with. We found her to be a joy in every way. Cathy was on time, flexible, organized, prepared, and had great follow through. Furthermore, after the first meeting, Cathy knew exactly what we wanted in a home and was able to help us zero in on the right properties to view, saving us a lot of time. As we needed to arrange viewings to coincide with trips to Phoenix for other purposes, we found Cathy quite flexible in meeting our scheduling requirements. Not only did Cathy come prepared with the basic information on the properties we viewed, she also did research on some of the things she knew were important to us. Since we were relocating and did not know the area at all, her guidance, patience and professionalism were invaluable. Buying a home is a stressful experience and we are grateful for all Cathy did in getting us through this process. We are now settled (almost) in a home we love and we tell everyone we meet what a great agent we had in Cathy Knoell.

As stated above, nothing really happened. There is no story to tell because the relationship never began.

Cathy was available at anytime of the day or night for a call, a visit, email or text. She used every means possible to comunicate with me; by even a follow up text, just in case I missed her email. Any question she didn't have the answer to, she found the answer and reported to me in record time, even through time zone issues. As I worked with Cathy, I found her to be fun, energetic, patient and full of integrity. She came up with alternatives, other ideas as well as better ways of handling some of the complicated things I asked her to do. She communicated very well with my 1031 agent in another state and successfully managed to handle the purchase process smoothly and uniformly. Please consider Cathy Knoell in your next real estate purchase. I will!
