Kathy was a great advisor for our townhome purchase in Richmond. She is proactive, responsive, knowledgeable and friendly, keeping us well informed throughout the process. We were able to get the first home we put an offer on (unheard of in the spring of 2024 seller's market with low inventory). She negotiated a home inspection right to void and ensured that her partner, Insight Home Inspections, provided answers to our questions timely. Kathy also provided a final walk through solution with our best interests in mind, coordinating with the listing agent. We were able to travel from Northern VA to Richmond throughout the process. We are thrilled that our daughter can now be close to her college classes in a safe neighborhood nearby.

As a family friend & volunteer from school, FIRST Lego League (robotics), and Boy Scouts we knew we could entrust Kathy with our home sale. She proved to use the same passion and tenacity in guiding us to a successful closing. She helped us navigate a changing market with rising mortgage rates in late summer 2023, collaborating with the buyer’s agent to negotiate in our favor with minimal contingencies. She helped us manage our timeline, closing on our new home and selling our old on the same day. We also trusted her title partner, RGS, who ensured the closing process ran smoothly. Kathy goes above and beyond.

Kathy did a great job helping us sell our Mom’s home in Fairfax (as original owners since 1961) listening well to our goals, as a patient and compassionate advisor. She used exclusive marketing strategies to include social media and digital marketing, hosting 2 Open Houses, driving traffic to our home. We were able to close quickly (in 3 weeks) working with her title partner above our asking price (and before mortgage rates increased). Kathy also negotiated in our favor with home inspection for right to void only (not negotiating repairs) and an appraisal gap guarantee. As a local, she is knowledgeable about Fairfax County amenities & neighborhoods. The buyer's agent was also pleased with her proactive communicative and collaborative approach.

Kathryn was the most helpful realtor to guide me through my first home purchase. She was friendly, responsive, and always had good advice for navigating a seller's market. She truly listened and helped me to find a home near Reston Town Center, where I always wanted to be. And connected me with mortgage consultants of Prosperity, that were easy to work with and made the loan application process easy. I am extremely happy with my home and experience working with Long and Foster and Kathryn!

We are so pleased with our home selling experience! Kathryn is astute in creating strategies and understanding of the market to help us maximize our sales price. We had intense buyer demand, receiving 14 offers, including escalation clauses. She negotiated well and helped us sell for $110K above our list price well ahead of schedule in 6 days, during the winter month of February 2023. Kathryn was a great advisor and friend during the process of preparing and staging our home for sale  and genuinely cared about helping us. She provided a comprehensive marketing plan, hosted 2 open houses and negotiated to get us the best price with no seller risk. (We had no home inspections or contingencies at all.)  Kathryn also described FIRPTA requirements with tax implications, as we were retiring and moving back to Canada. She lives nearby with local knowledge of schools and the community. As original owners we put great care in our home, made improvements along the way, and are so glad to be able to share it with the new owners. 

Kathryn helped us buy a new home in Herndon and sell our condo in Fairfax with great results! She understands local market conditions and neighborhoods well and provided for helpful strategies to ensure a smooth process to include collaboration with her partners of Prosperity Home Mortgage and RGS Title. She provided real estate market updates/advice to purchase before the anticipated rise in interest rates, post pandemic. She then helped us purchase the first home we put an offer on in a highly competitive market in summer 2022! And then sold our condo for an all cash deal in less time than nearby condos & negotiated home inspection contingencies to our advantage. We sold just in time (before the holidays). What a great experience.
