Catherine Kim is the reason my wife and I own our new home. We were in serious competition with other buyers for the same house, but Catherine's astute negotiating ability and important recommendations were critical in our offer being accepted. What a win! Catherine's attention to detail, super organizational skills, caring attitude, and perseverance were all contributing factors to a successful purchase. This was not our first rodeo, but Catherine has been, BY FAR, the best agent we have ever had the pleasure of working with. I highly recommend Catherine Kim for your real estate needs.

My husband and I have no words to express our gratitude. Cathy was on top of everything since day one. Extremely diligent, responsive, and detail oriented. She made our home buying experience seem like it was the smoothest process. We never had to check or follow up with her - she always had answers a few minutes after (even while away on her honeymoon!!!). New Coastal Living went above and beyond. When Cathy was out of the country we had the pleasure of working with Gohar, her business partner, as well. Increidble service from both of them. Besides helping us find our new house, she reminded us of important side details, recommended vendors and gave us her professional insight. We cant put into words her level of professionalism, other than shes just the best out there. We are homeowners because of her! Thank you so much Cathy!

Catherine was amazing! Thorough, extremely professional throughout the whole home buying process. There were so many things that came up that Catherine was on top of every step of the way. She also was very organized and did her due diligence to help us make the best purchase. Her correspondence was unbelievable and that made a huge difference in the whole process.

Cathy and her team were amazing in helping my wife and I find our first home! We originally started the home buying process with out a realtor going to new builds but after a referral to Cathy we met and realized how much she could really help us find the best home for us. We had very specific requirements on what we wanted in a house and were willing to take our time. Cathy was super respectful and not pressuring us to purchase a home. This made me feel relieved and knew that she was genuinely looking for our best interests. We ended up finding a home and Cathy was very responsive and had everything organized during escrow. Usually, we hear of horror escrow stories but ours went very smoothly. Even during the time where we asked the seller to pay for fundamental problems in the house. Thank you Cathy and New Coast Living for helping us get our first home! I definitely will use your company when we look at buying rental properties in the future.

Catherine is the best!!! She helped us to find exactly what we were looking for, she never let me give up or just go with whatever was available in the market, she always kept sending me more options. She was always easy to reach, no matter what time or day she will always get back to me immediately. She is also very organized. Definitely the perfect agent to work with, I truly recommend New Coast Living. Now we are the happiest living in our dream house!!!
