Kate was phenomenal. I will recommend her to everyone I know without a doubt. She was professional, kind, and fast to respond. She truly cared for us and did everything she could to find a home for our family. Kate went above and beyond in our home search. Kate knew exactly what we were looking for and when a listing came up, she would reach out to us to ask if we wanted to see it. This was our first home purchase and we are beyond grateful to have had Kate by our side. We asked her tons of questions (like "how much would it cost to...?") and she knew the answer to every single one. We were so impressed and so grateful for her experience.

Kate exceeded our expectations and was a phenomenal real estate agent in helping us find our first home. We navigated the pandemic with low home inventory and surging prices and she handled it gracefully and tacitly. After over a year of searching, we finally found the perfect home. Kate is incredibly experienced and is very knowledgable of our local market here on the central coast. She also has many connections and was able to connect us with the right local lender, contractors, and various companies needed in buying a home. I was very impressed with her negotiation skills while in escrow and we saved a lot of money because of it. Lastly, Kate was personable and responsive and made sure we found the right house for us.

If you're buying or selling property in the Central Coast, you need to work with Kate Hendrickson, she's a 10/10. She was referred to us by two other former clients and we're so glad they steered us her way. Kate's ability to communicate, follow up and keep us updated was incredible. She was timely, direct, and easy to reach. After our first one or two walk throughs, I felt like she had a clear understanding of what our needs/wants were and was good about pointing out potential pitfalls before we invested a lot of time in running around town for showings. We haven't worked with too many other realtors but our experience with her was everything we could have asked for and she is absolutely someone we would recommend to any buyer in the Central Coast area. She was patient with us as we figured out our ideal budget and neighborhood as well as with our enthusiasm to go on home tours the day of the listing. When we finally did find the perfect home, she helped us come up with a competitive and creative offer that ultimately resulted in our offer being accepted. And, her assistance didn't end there, she continued to advocate on our behalf, keep in contact with the other agent on pertinent details and helped us select a great home inspector. Kate's network in the Central Coast in unparalleled and she's a delight to work with.

Short version: If you want some incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, personable, caring, who is a go-getter and really really knows their stuff then she’s your realtor! 11/10 Long version: From start to now the experience my wife and I had with Kate has been exceptional. I spent nearly five hours on a Friday drilling several different agents, wanting to ensure we found someone who was not just competent but a good fit for us because buying a home is one of the biggest decisions people make in their lives and can be extremely stressful. After talking to Kate for about an hour and hounding her with questions I ended the call with a feeling in my gut that she was not just experienced and knowledgeable about the area absolutely, but that she actually cared and wanted to do right by us and was a terrific communicator. Once we decided to go with her it did take a house or two for us to warm-up to each other (walking around in masks on time constraints wasn’t helping) but soon we were cracking jokes back and forth and having as much fun as could be had considering the cut-throat sellers market at the beginning of 2021. Throughout the entire process Kate was super responsive and honed in on what we said we wanted. Now sometimes we thought we wanted one thing and then saw it and realized we were foolish, but Kate was really patient and kept fine-turning her understanding of us. She went above and beyond to make us feel like her most important clients, even though two teachers definitely aren’t buying a big expensive house, whether it was doing a day-of turnaround on an offer or texting me back at 6am! When it came down to the home we successfully got there was a weird hiccup with the listing status and we were crushed, but only for a few hours because Kate was on the job. I mean she was fierce about it and really fought for us. And boy did it work because my wife and I are in a home I can’t believe I get to wake up in. I seriously wake up wondering if I’m dreaming, and I have Kate to thank. We look forward to having her over for dinner and hot-tubbing once we finish getting settled in!

Only Kate could have gotten my family and I into the perfect house! We were under difficult circumstances (low housing supply, time crunch, I don't look great on paper), but because of how hard Kate fought for us we were able to buy our first home.

My husband and I worked with Kate to buy our first home. We have been working with her for SIX years (we were looking off and on) and through the entire process, she has been patient, kind, extremely knowledgeable and fought for us to get our first home in a VERY competitive market. Kate always goes above and beyond. She has written letters to owners on homes that we have showed interest in, provided recommendations for other services we needed and is constantly looking out for her clients. Kate is very trustworthy -- a quality I thought was hard to find in real estate. Over the last 6 years, though I'm sure her workload and clientele increased, she always made us feel like her VIP clients and was there for us and committed at the same level as she was on day 1. Though we will likely not be in the market for a home anytime soon, I will not hesitate to call Kate for all things real estate and recommend her to all our friends.

Kate was our unwavering partner in a home-buying process that spanned over a year, multiple offers, and two escrows. Her positivity, humor, and honesty got us through all the ups and downs. We were always confident knowing Kate was in our corner and would put our interests first. On more than one occasion, Kate talked my husband or I down (to our own benefit), but when we’d made a decision, even if she’d recommended against it, she advocated for us 100%. But what really sets Kate apart is how she showed up for us during and even after escrow. Kate worked her butt off arranging and supervising last-minute inspections and repairs on our property. She even captured, transported, and rehomed a feral cat left on the property. To this day, when any question or issue arises with our home, my husband or I will invariably say, “Ask Kate.” Kate is who you want in your corner for the home-buying and home-owning process!

I can't recommend Kate enough! She is extremely knowledgeable, helpful and responded to all of my many questions in a very timely manner. Purchasing my very first home was very exciting and Kate made me feel at ease knowing she was there at every step of the way. She is very personable and I knew she had my best interest in mind from our first meeting. We looked at a couple properties and her honesty allowed me to find the perfect place after two years of searching. Again, I cannot recommend her enough!

If you are looking to buy a home, do yourself a favor and contact Kate! Kate made my first time home-buying experience a breeze. Any time I emailed or texted, she would reply right away. Any time I had a question (and trust me when I say that I had A LOT), she had answers. Kate is amazing at what she does!

Kate was excellent at helping us first time homebuyers navigate the entire process. She was very effective in breaking down each step of the way and explaining the real estate vernacular while not making us feel like total rookies (which we are). Within three months of talking to a lender for the first time about buying a home, our very first offer submitted was accepted. This speaks to Kate's efficiency and knowledge of the buyer/seller dynamic and negotiation skills. Any question we had, and there were a lot, Kate would respond immediately and thoroughly. I can't say enough good things about her. Do yourself a favor, and start with the right realtor. Give Kate a call.

Kate is a true professional! As first time homebuyers, we had little prior knowledge of the home buying process. Kate helped us navigate this complicated process of searching for a home that was the best fit for us and working with loan/escrow agencies and sellers. She kept us very well informed during each step of the process and was always willing to take the time to provide valuable input and clarification of rules, regulations, and paper work requirements. Kate always had our best interests at heart. We ended up in a great home that is perfect for our family!! We were grateful to have Kate supporting us through the process, and I highly recommend her to help you sell or buy your next home!

Kate was very responsive and helpful in our home buying process. She was very patient with us, and guided us though our first purchase. I would highly recommend her to others.

Kate was an absolute joy to work with. We relocated from San Diego to San Luis Obispo (SLO). Kate answered all of our questions about the SLO market in great detail. She helped us hone in on the ideal neighborhoods for us and knew everything about each new listing that came onto the market. Once we found our house, Kate partnered with us in making the best offer. She seamlessly guided us through the entire escrow process. Before moving in, she helped coordinate house and carpet cleaning for us and even fixed our stovetop. We are very happy working with Kate and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

I literally can't say enough good things about Kate. I didn't realize how it important it is to have a good realtor and luckily we came across Kate after a few less responsive ones. She went way above and beyond, to the extent of finding contractors, negotiating for the best rate, and managing renovations even after we closed. Kate is conscientious (always responsive and manages every aspect of the process as if it were her own house), she's a great negotiator (she saved us at least $10k), and overall she seems to really care about doing a great job. Go with Kate. You'll be happy you did.

Kate was amazing! She was so helpful throughout the entire home buying process. We always felt very comfortable and were sure she was totally in control of what was happening. We were able to tap into her network of Real Estate professionals to secure a loan as well as other services required in the process. Kate is extreemly knowledgeable and professional, I will highly recommend her to family and friends.

Kate recently helped us buy our first home. We can't recommend her enough - she is so excellent! We were referred to Kate by friends and will be sending others to her whenever we can. From our first meeting with her and through the whole process, she was very thoughtful, organized, thorough, and responsive. Viewing properties, she was really knowledgeable about construction and renovation questions, which we appreciated so much as it helped us stay in our price range and be realistic about what we could handle. She has a great referral network - lenders, escrow, construction trades, etc - we've taken her advice several times and have liked everyone she connected us with. Once we found a place we liked (no small feat with two architects), she did an excellent and fair job negotiating the sale/contract, and made sure the escrow process was as smooth as possible -- she went above and beyond to help us have a good experience and find the best home. We have been so grateful for her insight and professionalism every step of the way!

Kate helped us find our perfect retirement home. When we started this journey with Kate all we knew was that we wanted to be on the Central Coast. Kate listened to our long list of requirements. Her knowledge of the area was invaluable when it came helping us narrow down all the possibilities and find just the right spot. As out of town buyers Kate kept us abreast of every step in the buying process and even went so far as to meet with and get bids from several different contractors so we would know exactly what we were getting ourselves into. She was terrific at negotiating on our behalf. Kate was attentive to our needs and was always available to answer our questions no matter how basic (me) or complex (husband is a retired carpenter) they were. She even offered to come help us prepare and stage the home we were trying to sell - 3 hours away! No matter what came up we were confident Kate had our best interests at heart. We can’t thank Kate enough for all the things she did to make this dream a reality.

Kate was absolutely fantastic and made the buying experience easy! We were relocating from the Bay Area and Kate always made herself available to give us virtual tours when we couldn't view properties in person. When it came to any questions or inquiries, she was quick to respond and always extremely helpful. I would absolutely use Kate again with any buying and/or selling needs! She's fantastic and a total pro!

It was a pleasure working with Kate when we purchased our vacation home. She is very knowledgeable, and immediately answered all of our questions and concerns. Kate made the sale as easy as possible for us. She follows through with everything you ask or that she says she will do. She really went above and beyond our expectations. We would definitely recommend her services.

We are so thankful our friend recommended Kate to us as we bought our first home in San Luis Obispo. From the first meeting to the day we got the keys, Kate was professional, helpful, efficient, and always seemed to anticipate our needs (before we knew what we needed!). Kate even showed up to say hello and check in with us while we were signing our loan docs, and the notary commented on how unusual that level of personal attention was. Our escrow ran very smoothly, and Kate's experience paved the way. We never questioned her judgment or her memory - nothing slips by her. All in all, we would suggest Kate to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home in SLO County.
