We live in Florida and were wanting a second home in the Plainfield, Illinois area. We were not seeing too many places that were available. She showed us a few places in January online but they didn't work out for us. Since she knew what we were looking for, a condo went on the market that she thought we would be interested in. We happened to be in the Chicago area in March so we investigated the condo and sure enough we liked it and made an offer, and subsequently purchased. We were lucky that she remembered what we were looking for, and are so grateful to her for that, We also appreciated that she was not high pressure and that would have been an immediate turnoff for us. She was very helpful throughout the whole process and we would recommend her highly. Thanks again Kathy!

We were not seriously looking to move. We started to just look around at what was for sale and came across a couple properties that we decided to look at. This is how we met Kathy. Kathy was outstanding and very knowlegeable in every aspect of the process. It was pure coincidence and we are very happy that we had the chance to meet and work with her. I would recommend anyone looking to buy or sell to call Kathy without any hesitation. 10/10

Katherine Rubis and Cathy Giordano did a great job. It went fairly quick, efficient, and professional. I was very satisfied in selling my home. I will mention to other people of using their services.

Kathy was wonderful to work with and help me for the first time buying a home. She actually messaged me about the home I ended up buying thinking it would be a great fit. Her knowledge helped make my offer competitive and I know without that input, I may have lost the property. I am so happy I worked with her, and I highly recommend.

I had a fantastic experience working with Kathy as my real estate broker. She was extremely helpful and demonstrated a deep knowledge of the market and the intricacies of the real estate process. Kathy's guidance and expertise were invaluable throughout the entire buying/selling process. She was always available to address any questions or concerns I had and went above and beyond to ensure a smooth transaction. I highly recommend Kathy to anyone looking for a dedicated and knowledgeable real estate professional.

This testimonial is for Catherine Giordano:

Throughout my career, I have moved multiple times, both domestically and internationally, which has given me the opportunity to work with various realtors. Among them all, Catherine stands out as the most professional, competent, and caring realtor I have ever encountered. Catherine made the entire process seamless and stress-free, and her genuine concern for my needs was evident every step of the way. I highly recommend Catherine to anyone seeking an exceptional real estate experience.

Kathy and Cat were excellent in helping and considering the many expectations involved with the family member. It was comforting to know that they put our interests to the forefront in finding / suggesting homes

I used Katherine Rubis's services in 2018 to sell another property in historic downtown Naperville. The outcome was successful so I reached out to her for the current sale of our condo. She was very helpful in providing access to our condo to contractors as we live out of state and I was up front with her that we may decide to rent it again so a listing was not emminent. Ultimately, the decision was to sell and it sold/closed within 2 weeks with multiple offers. It was great to have Kathy have our back locally who knew the market and got things done. She also referred the atty too who was stellar and very helpful. I highly recommend Kathy for any real estate needs.

I'm an out of state relocation and Katherine kept me up to date on the houses available when I was planning my house hunting trip up to Chicagoland. The Monday I was supposed to fly out she reached out and told me the 4 properties that I was interested in went under contract that weekend - so I was able to postpone my flight. After that we did an online video tour of the house in which I was interested while I was still in ATL and I put an offer on it. She was very clear around the fact that the house would need painted, and new carpet and fans, etc. Closing had a hiccup - I accidently locked both of us out of the property while she was checking the mailbox key - but she creatively found a way to get me to the closing office while she waited for other realtor to bring the spare key and let her in to get my phone (and drivers license) and her purse/car keys, etc. and then meet me at the closing office. We ended up being able to close on December 29th. Katherine is a gem.

I couldn't have asked for a better realtor than Katherine Rubis. Her deep knowledge of the market, unwavering dedication, and exceptional communication skills made my house-buying journey a breeze. From understanding my preferences to negotiating the best deal, she went above and beyond at every step.

Grateful to have Kathleen on our side, she looked out for every possibility and covered all aspects from hunt to close!!

Kathy really made this process so smooth for us. She found our home out of budget, but gave us information that lead us to win and under bid asking price! Even though, we were buying in a very scarce market. If she didn't do the additional research, we wouldn't have found our beautiful home because it was slightly passed our maximum budget and we were able to bid on the home and capture it 20k under original asking price. She mentioned to write a letter which was a huge turning point for us to capture the home.

We had to purchase a home remotely, which may be very uncommon. We were 1000 miles away scheduled and did virtual tours. Kathy was very honest on everything she noticed and gave us the honest feedback we needed to hear!

Our previous realtor was a friend of mine who pushed us out of our ideas. She was available, but too opinionated. Her guidance was set on her ideas and expectations and not OUR expectations. Also, she didn't send us house references. We had to do searching online all on our own.

Katherine is extremely knowledgeable and professional. She got the job done, and worked hard to help us both buy our new home as well as to sell our old one.

Kathy has been excellent and very communicative throughout the process. I would highly recommend her as your realtor. Her experience in the Joliet area and knowledge of the market gave me a great deal of confidence from start to finish.

Katherine did an excellent job of of finding and purchasing a property that met all of our needs.
She’s efficient and always quick to respond to any questions or concerns. We highly recommend her.

I needed someone who can sale the house quickly. Katherine Rubis was very responsive during the entire process. It was flawless, I will definitely recommend her.

Kathy and her partners did an outstanding job in helping me find a new home. They took the time to learn and understand my particular needs and helped me to adjust my search to better accomplish my goals. Kelly Watson was the partner who I worked with more toward the end and she was the one who helped me find and negotiate the purchase of my home. Both her and Kathy maintained excellent communication with me throughout the search and buying process. I highly recommend them and when the time comes will look forward to working with them again.

Kathy was great to work with! Very responsive; answered all of our questions!

Kathy, Kelly and Tanya complemented each other beautifully and felt as we were always 'covered'. Kelly's initial meeting and assessment of our sale property is what put the wheels in motion. We met a local, one man shop who seemed to have less passion and almost seemed like a hobby. Redfin that seemed more interested in what our property didn't have to set a lowball sale price to move it fast at the expense of 10% below our anticipated ask price and then Kelly. Kelly took a true interest, took the time to point out and seek out what our property offered versus its shortcomings. We were able to get our ask price minus some insignificant allowances. Tanya was phenomenal and went out of her way to work with our schedule on the buy side and was key in us finding our purchase property. I'd highly recommend Kathy, Kelly and Tanya.

I highly recommend Katherine and her team for excellent service, advice and guidance in purchasing a new home. She is engaged, knowledgeable, professional and has excellent contacts in the community.

From the first time we met Katherine Rubis, we knew she was a perfect match for us. She is a careful listener and adapted to our needs every step of the way.

Katherine Rubis is the perfect realtor! We always knew she would respond quickly and be supportive and nonjudgmental of our decisions. We appreciated that she offered information current information and facts so that we could make the best choices for our situation.

Kathy was especially helpful when we encountered back and forth communications during the inspection process. She also referred us to a mortgage broker, with whom she has a great professional relationship, and she was appropriately in contact with our attorney and his office anytime that was necessary.

In addition, Kathy was a reassuring presence every step of the way throughout the home selection and buying process. After being in our Ohio home for 25 years, the move back to Illinois was a big step for us. Kathy's competence and empathy were just what we needed. Finding and purchasing our new home would have been much more challenging (and not as much fun) without her. We were so grateful to have benefited from her expertise and professionalism!

Kelly Watson was incredibly patient with us as first time home owners. She never pushed in any direction, but gave us advice at every turn. Extremely professional and had high integrity. We would definitely work with her again!!!

Kelly Watson was an absolute joy to work with. Buying a home is an exhausting experience that was made so much easier by her efforts. Kelly was knowledgeable, honest, diligent, timely, and always available. We couldn’t have been happier with her service.

Katherine has been the best from day one. Very knowledgeable proficient and takes her work seriously.
