Katie Witry, Gardner Realtors

unknown

It's easy to become cynical in the process of looking for a home: it's hard to figure out what is best for you (particularly for a first home) and as you are trying to find the and quot;rightand quot; home, the quality of information and listings can be so variable it is hard to predict what is around the corner as you are buying. Katie has been through so much with us, several years of searching in fact, and was probably the single reliably positive source of energy in the entire process. She is extremely hardworking, tenacious, and genuinely interested in finding something that works. I think a great testament to her philosophy is how many people consider her a long-term asset, rather than a one-time helper. I know we certainly think of her that way. In terms of the mechanics of the offer and sale, Katie was highly competent. She kept track of all of the inspections (of which there were many on our 'fixer-upper') and helped us get the information that we needed to be sure we wanted to commit to a big project. She really is on top of everything, despite her zen outlook. I can't recommend Katie highly enough - she's wonderful.

Katie is incredibly thorough, patient and hard working. Katie walked us through every step of the process, and continues to be a resource for us. We bought our house over a year ago, but we still ask her questions. Katie is super responsive and lovely. Highly recommend her to all home buyers, especially first time home buyers

I thought I had already written a review for Katie, but the site keeps telling me it needs one, so I'll do it again. Katie was our Buyer's agent when we bought our new house. To put it mildly, she rocks. She bent over backwards to help us get our dream house and, even after the sale had closed and we were knee deep in a renovation with contractors she recommended, she even mediated a dispute between us and the contractors. When we couldn't get a hold of them and Katie had nothing to personally gain by helping us, she did it anyway and did us a huge favor in the process. Can't say enough good things about Katie, she isn't just a Realtor, she's a great friend. If there is someone better out there at their job than Katie, I sure as h*** haven't met them.

Katie is AMAZING (all caps). She educated us and walked us through every step of buying a home (which we closed on in December). She made sure we had all of the inspections we needed and introduced us to great people to help us renovate the home under an FHA 203(k). The only complaint I would have is that she missed an opportunity for us to expand our loan with an energy efficient mortgage, which would have been very helpful because we were up against the FHA 203 funding limits and the house still needs more work. The extra $8,000 from that EEM would have been helpful. But just to show how committed she is to her clients: after realizing that she should have known about this program for our mortgage Katie immersered herself in trying to find out more about it and is now teaching a seminar on the loan (only one of which had been done in New Orleans before the seminar). In short, we would reccommend Katie to anyone. She did a phenomenal job and has really been there throughout the process, even after she got paid, to help us finish our construction project. In fact, just this past Tuesday she helped facilitate a meeting with our contractors who have been absentees for over a week. We couldn't get a hold of them, but lo and behold, Katie did. I can't imagine a better real estate agent or friend. If you go with Katie, you'll get someone who adds significant value to your home buying experience and will work tirelessly in your interest. Her concern for her clients is the epitome of service and the ideal I would assume the profession strives for.
