Catherine Kim

Cathy was nothing if not amazing. She worked very hard to make sure we were satisfied in our sale and the purchase of our new home. I will recommend her whenever I get the chance.

We cannot recommend Cathy enough. She helped us purchase our first “forever home” in 2020 during an incredibly competitive and uncertain market. We had been searching for months and were very particular about what we wanted, but Cathy was endlessly patient, supportive, and never made us feel rushed or pressured.

When we finally found the right home, she made the entire process feel manageable and gave us so much peace of mind. We were fully prepared for a major bidding war and expected to pay far over asking, but Cathy negotiated strategically and was able to secure our home for barely over asking price. We were so happy.

Cathy is extremely thorough, organized, and communicative. She laid out every step of escrow clearly, connected us with trusted inspectors and vendors, and made sure we understood what to expect throughout the process. Everything closed smoothly without any surprises.

A few years later, Cathy and Jonathan helped us find our next home for our growing family, and when the time came to sell the first home Cathy helped us purchase, she truly went above and beyond. Cathy gave us a clear, straightforward checklist of everything we could do to prepare our home for the market and helped guide us through the entire process step by step. She coordinated beautiful photography/videography, strong marketing, pricing strategy backed by data, and confident negotiation guidance throughout.

After only one weekend of open houses, we received an offer just a few days later and closed in a week and a half. We were in disbelief and so relieved not to be carrying two mortgages for months. Thanks to Cathy’s preparation, strategy, and guidance, we ended up closing with an over-asking offer and a smooth transaction from start to finish.

Beyond being an amazing realtor, Cathy is also just a genuinely kind and thoughtful person. As a mother herself, she understood our family’s priorities and never lost sight of what mattered most to us. Every time we’ve bought or sold a home with her, she’s gone above and beyond to make it feel special with thoughtful surprises and welcome-home gifts.

If you are looking for someone who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, strategic, and truly cares about her clients, we would recommend Cathy to anyone buying or selling a home!

Cathy was amazing to work with and we will definitely work with her in the future. We worked with Cathy for our land purchase in 29 Palms and she stood out from the beginning. She replied quickly and was very informative. She provided us with tips and resources to help us get started. She was there for us throughout the whole process and always made us feel comfortable asking all of our questions. Her patience, reliability, and communication skills are excellent.

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.

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.
