Simply A+! I would never work with another realtor!”

“Kat was so amazing to work with on finding our forever home. She was honest, extremely knowledgeable and very easy to work with. Whenever we’d find a home to look at, she would be on it and made sure we were able to see it. When we found our home, she worked hard on making sure we had everything we needed on time to meet our deadline. She made sure we understood things if we had questions, and would research the answer if she didn’t have it. If we had to do it again, we would most definitely use her as our realtor! Thanks for everything, Kat. We found our forever home because of you! ”

“Kat is the ultimate professional and we got to sell our home in one weekend for more than we listed for. She was so kind in responding to our needs especially when we locked out of ourselves with such delight. She is highly knowledgeable about our area, and her recommendations were quite sound. She also hired excellent photographers both 2D and 3D to represent our home in the best light given COVID and was great about listening to our needs. I would recommend her to friends and family.”

“We give Kat Nissen our highest recommendation for her listing agent services during the sale of our home. She knows the local market well and developed an excellent marketing plan that included professional photography, a Matterport 3-D rendition of the house, and decorating tips. She communicates very effectively and kept us in the loop at all stages of the complex selling process. She listened to our concerns and needs while keeping informed in an ever changing market. Kat worked diligently with the buying agents and mortgage companies to vet multiple offers and identify the best deal. As part of her review she provided options and expert advice for our evaluation. Throughout this process she proved to be very flexible to ensure we closed as scheduled with no disruptions. Overall, Kat proved to be a highly effective listing agent in a turbulent real estate market. We enjoyed working with her and recommend her highly to anyone looking to sell a home.”

“Feb 2020 Working with Kat Nissen as my selling agent, I was astonished by her knowledge of the market and market timing. Kat wasn’t enamored with a cash/no contingency offer when there were other offers above list. We discussed the relative terms and final outcome differences and closed the deal with a great contract. Closing was fast and worry free, it was 37 days from when the property hit the MLS to cash in bank. Kat was very responsive, and presented herself professionally. With Kat’s guidance, I scored big.”

“Kat Nissen was a wonderful agent with whom we worked to sell our home and purchase a new home. She was extremely knowledgeable, very skilled in negotiations, professional, prompt, courteous, and very helpful in a fairly complex home purchase that involved substantial renovations by the seller prior to closing.”

“Kat was awesome. We love her energy, knowledge of the market, and ability to close both our new home purchase and sale of our existing home! I would recommend Kat (and have recommended her) to anyone looking for an honest, caring, and smart real estate professional.”
