From the first moment we met Kathryn we loved her! She pays attention to his clients' needs or concerns and has a charming personality! Thanks to Kathryn we found the ideal home for us in a nice and pretty location. We are very pleased to have met her!

I'd highly recommend Kathryn Hoffman. Not only was Kathryn great to work with, she helped connect me with people who were great to work with as well (lender, inspector, attorney). I knew I could trust Kathryn's insights and knowledge of the area and older homes. Kathryn's responsiveness and clear communication made the home buying process a positive first-time experience.

Kathryn was very helpful and professional when it came to buying my first house. She was extremely knowledgeable with the whole process and steered me in the right direction with what I needed to do. Very clear with her communication and also very prompt.

We would extremely highly recommend Kathryn
To our family and friends and anyone else!
Very professional, yet personable. We enjoyed
working with her. She went above and beyond
on our behalf. She made our transition from IL
to out of state, seemingly effortless, but we
know how hard she worked.
She stayed in contact with us, every step of the
way.

Kathryn once again has been tremendous. She helped us navigate a very stressful situation with the sale and purchase of our old and new home. Kathryn we can’t thank you enough again and you have become a part of our family!

Kathryn was quick to answer my first e-mail plus followed up quickly to answer my questions on possibly selling my property.

I have worked with Kathryn Hoffman before and would not ever consider any other agents! She is exemplary in so many ways. Her professionalism, ability to assess needs and wants of a client, and diligence in getting the job done is beyond compare.

Kathryn ensured that I found the right property that would make me happy. Her patience and assessment of the properties that we looked at together reflected positively on the trust I placed in her for her guidance. She works hard for her clients! It was especially challenging to look for a property during social distancing conditions so I really appreciated the extra effort she made to look at properties safely.

My overall sales experience was wonderful because Kathryn Hoffman was my agent. She is an incredible agent and a very special person!

Kathryn is the best and anyone who gets the opportunity to work with her is really fortunate!

Kathryn was extremely professional and very positive. She made a very stressful situation of trying to sell my house in a challenging market much easier to deal with. I would recommend her to anyone looking to sell their home in and around Naperville.

Kathryn Hoffman took our family of 5 to well over 50 homes to visit, never seeming impatient or upset with us! She was professional and responsive, showing us any homes we asked to see, some multiple times. She gave us honest and extremely helpful advice, and all her recommendations were useful. We heavily relied on her experience and opinions in our ultimate home choice, and feel that it served us well. Kathryn never pressured us in a positive or negative direction, and facilitated all the paperwork and home-buying hurdles that were completely unknown to us, making the whole process go smoothly. Kathryn even spoke to others (such as potential neighbors or contractors) on our behalf simply because we were too shy to do so ourselves. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Kathryn Hoffman is an exemplary realtor who exudes trust and confidence in her ability to get the job done. I wouldn't work with anyone else! She is supportive, creative, and professional in her approach to real estate sales. Kathryn goes out of her way to ensure that the selling of the house goes smoothly. I could not have been more pleased with her efforts and the result. She is truly wonderful!

Kathryn Hoffman was a very professional, knowledgeable, kind and helpful sales agent. She understood my concerns and had practical, sound and reasonable advice. She talked me through anything I didn't understand and helped me know what to expect next as well as for various upcoming steps. She was readily available whenever I needed anything. I highly recommend her!

Kathryn was awesome...It was our first home buying experience and Kathryn made it as good as it could be. She always made herself available to take us to look at houses in different neighborhoods as we narrowed them down, even at times when I felt bad because we were taking Kathryn all over the place, I never got the feeling that she felt that way. Kathryn had very good local knowledge of neighborhoods which was inportant to us when making the dcision of where we wanted to buy. She explained all the process of putting in offers and through the whole closing process. We were very very happy with Kathryn and would recommend her to others.

I've known Kathryn on a more personal level, rather than business for a long time. And knowing her level of integrity was a huge factor in choosing to work with her. She excelled in every aspect of the business transaction. And I can't imagine that any other agent would have shown her level of patience and sensitivity to my personal issues surrounding the transaction. I strongly recommend Kathryn; she's a rockstar!

Kathryn is an experienced, knowledgable and a pleasure to work with. Kathryn is sincere and has excellent forward thinking skills to resolve problems that arise. On Closing day, when things are very stressful, she was able to understand our feelings and offered the kind words to keep us calm. I do not consider her just a "realtor", she has grown into our life as a friend. We are looking forward to having her over to see our renovations in our first home!

Macedon, NY - Aug 10, 2015

Kathryn Hoffman went out of her way to help us get the best price (what she had said it would sell for) by providing a decorator. We left the state prior to closing on the townhome. Kathryn spent extra time contacting maintenance workers, being there to let them inside, and keeping an eye on the house. She also saw where some mice had been there and cleaned up. She did this in addition to the other tasks. She gets 5 out of 5 stars.

Kathryn was awesome to work with in our first home buying experience. She went above and beyond our expectations. She was very knowledgable and kept us up to date with all the steps in the home buying process. Her responses to any questions we had or meetings we needed to set up were extremely prompt, even on weekends. We liked how she was able to send us homes to look at online to then choose to view in person. We started viewing houses mid-June, viewed about 10-12 in person over 2 different days, put an offer on one we really liked, and moved into our new house at the end of July. I knew we would enjoy working with her, but she really made the process easy, understandable, and stress free.... and we love our new house! I highly recommend her if you are a first time home buyer like me. Thanks, Kathryn!
