“My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Katerina as our real estate agent to purchase our first home. She consistently advocated on our behalf and helped us in so many ways throughout the entire journey. She was always available when we needed her and guided us every step of the way. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
“Kat was great in helping us get our house sold quickly and at the price we hoped. She was quick to reply and very on top of everything.”

“It was an absolute pleasure working with Joshua Kelly and the entire Steadfast team. They were very patient, prompt, attentive, knowledgeable and responsive, especially considering my move entailed an out-of-state component to it. I would absolutely recommend them for future homebuyers.”
“Our agent, Michael Diniz, was professional and extremely knowledgeable. Simply put, he's the best agent we've worked with. Selling our home had its challenges, but his persistence and urgency allowed our home to sell sooner than expected. I've used a few agents in the past, however, Michael is the only agent I'd refer to friends and family.”

She came out to see the house right away, was very thorough and honest with us about the possibilities from the start, communicated with us often, and our house sold within a week.”

The number of days that homes have been on the market prior to going under contract rose year-over-year. In September 2025, the median time for a listed property to go pending was 56 days, compared to 27 days in September 2024. However, in recent months the median number of days from listed to pending appears to be falling. That trend is predicted to have carried through to this October.
