""After watching Kate's success for about twelve months, I knew my wife and I were going to partner with her for the sale of our home. We had been in our home for more than ten years, and as our family grew, we knew we needed to expand our square footage.
We scheduled our introductory meeting with Kate, and of course, she showed up 15 minutes early. When she sat down at our kitchen table, she made the meeting all about us and made sure she fully understood our goals and expectations. She also arrived fully-prepared with easy to understand reports and personal research on our neighborhood. Immediately, my wife was comfortable and I knew we were working with a professional...""
-Jody & Jesse Lewis, Downingtown Borough sellers, Client
""We were so very lucky to have met Kate at an open house. Kate brings all the insider real estate knowledge to the table, but also provides great construction and design advice that you wouldn't normally get from another realtor. Kate was always prompt in responding to our questions and encouraged us to ask away - very helpful for first time buyers. We were most impressed with Kate's efforts to negotiate our purchase and going to extra mile to ensure we got the deal we wanted. Her humor and personality is exactly what you want from your representative during this stressful but exciting process. Thank you for all you do, Kate!""
-Ashley & James Froebe, Spring City buyers, Client
""Kate was awesome throughout our entire home selling/buying process. We had met with several realtors before meeting with Kate, and within the first few minutes of meeting her, we knew we'd be in good hands! She spent a lot of time with us during that initial meeting explaining everything in detail from what to expect when buying and selling to her own personal business ethics. We felt so comfortable listing our house with her. The whole sale transaction was seamless from start to finish-even with a few hiccups along the way from our buyers end that she handled with ease. We are also working with Kate as buyers now. She was always on top of things, e-mailing us asking what houses we wanted to look at and when, and letting us know that she was available anytime we were ready. Her attention to detail is impressive. Kate is always willing to take the time you need to explain things or clarify any uncertainties-no matter what time of day! We can't recommend her enough!""
-Angela & Michael Nolan, WC sellers & buyers, Client
""We dealt with Kate on the sale of our house in West Chester, Pa. This was a somewhat "special" listing being the construction was log construction. She priced it right, there was plenty of showings and, the house sold in less than a week's time. We interviewed Kate along with several other realtors and we chose her because of her thoroughness and professionalism. Through the process she had our best interest in mind and kept everything in line as we went through the sale.
I might add this listing occurred right before COVID hit and settlement was delayed for several months. This caveat did not deter her from keeping everyone involved up to date as time progressed.
I would not hesitate to use her service, she's very good at what she does.""
-Sandy & Jimmy Coll, West Chester 2nd Review, Client
"Kate was amazing and very supportive through the whole process. As a first time home buyer, I was nervous and had pretty low expectations for what I would find and how long it would take. In less than a month I found the perfect place for a good deal! Very smooth and informative process with Kate."
-Mikayla Riddick, Art Museum Area Philadelphia buye, Client
""Ms. Kate Bailey is an Outstanding Real Estate professional. We came to know her through a professional referral. Even before our first conference call she provided us excellent research info/tactics for our consideration. Then, at the call she explained her process that made us feel comfortable to go with her contract. She provided excellent suggestions to make our property look different and appealing. Because of her pro-active and hard work, she got us a qualified buyer within 15 days of listing! She also supported us throughout the closing process. Without her "can do attitude" we would not have been able to sell our house. Ms. Kate can "talk the talk and walk the walk" and we strongly recommend her case!!""
-Dr. K. Namboodiri, Chester Springs seller, Client
""Kate came highly recommended by two of her past clients. She has great knowledge of the area and the real estate market. The entire process would have been overwhelming had it not been for Kate's expertise. We were selling a house from an estate. She gave great recommendation as to what to do in the house before putting it on the market. She was there the day the photographer came to be sure we got the best representation of the property. We put the house on the market the Monday after Christmas and we really didn't expect much action on it until after the first of the year. However, because of her marketing we had showings scheduled the day it hit the market and even a few on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. But, those New Year's appointments weren't necessary since we had a signed contract the first day at over asking price!...""
-Donna & Jim Miller, Downingtown sellers, Client
""We highly recommend Kate Bailey for your real estate needs! Kate managed the sale of 2 properties and the purchase of 1 property simultaneously. Challenges were many. Obstacles seemed huge to us as sellers/purchasers. Kate's coaching style helped us to persevere and weather the rocky roads. As a realtor she is part of a family that is widely involved in the housing industry. She is knowledgeable about construction, which can assist the future buyer early on in their purchasing decisions. As a selling realtor, she sold a property for us that, due to its’ smaller size and being part of an HOA community, has been difficult to sell previously. Due to the small size, the market for the house was limited to first time home buyers or downsizing families. She knew where to find those people. She was on top of everyone involved in the transactions to insure business was conducted on time. She assisted the "other side" when they ran into problems or overlooked details!""
-C. & B. Talbott, Downingtown 2Xsellers & buyers, Client
""Kate was a pleasure to work with. We were first time home buyers and therefore had a lot of questions and needed that extra reassurance. Kate made us so comfortable and aided us in any manner we needed. She answered any and all questions we had, and then some. We, from the beginning, felt we were in good hands. When it came to communication she was always quick to respond and kept us updated/informed through the entire process. Many people have told me that buying a house is a stressful process. I have to say, working with Kate made it a smooth and pleasurable experience. I have and will recommend her to friends and family!""
-Malorie & Eric Hubert, Spring City buyers, Client
""We worked with Kate on 3 real estate transactions. She's courteous, a go-getter, and really knows her stuff. She helped us when things got complicated. I would highly recommend her!!""
-C. & B. Talbott, Downingtown 2nd Review, Client
""From the minute my husband and I met Kate at an Open House we knew instantly we wanted to hire her as our realtor to sell our current home and purchase another. Kate was meticulous and patient in answering all of our questions and concerns, and as first-time home sellers, we found it incredibly helpful. Kate is truly dedicated to her career and treats her clients like family. We received her personal attention almost on a daily basis. She was always available for questions and made us feel like we were her only clients. She made sure we understood everything that was happening and provided valuable advice and guidance without being pushy. She went above and beyond the call of duty to get our house sold, hosting Open Houses almost every weekend, and her efforts paid off, as our home sold within 30 days of being listed. We weren’t entirely sure which direction we wanted to go when purchasing our new home, and after much deliberation with Kate’s help, we decided to build...""
-Apryl & Matt Klein, Chester Springs sellers/buyers, Client
""From the moment I met Kate at an open house, I knew she would be someone great to work with. Her energy and positive attitude made her very easy to talk to and she answered all of my questions honestly. Within a few days of meeting Kate, I bought a house! As a first time home buyer, Kate really broke down the entire process for me and walked me through everything step-by-step. Any time I was frustrated with my mortgage lender or wire transfers, a quick phone call to Kate would calm me down and reassure me. She is very prompt at returning emails and texts and thus very easy to work with. Kate worked as a dual agent for me (as a home buyer) and for the sellers of my property. I was initially skeptical of a realtor trying to work for two different clients at the same time in regards to the same property, but in the end, I would highly recommend it! There were fewer people in the "middle" to go through and the process was very seamless...""
-Jaime Perez, Downingtown Borough buyer, Client
""An unexpected move to another state, and having a mortgage plus rent was really stressful. Kate went above and beyond to ensure a smooth process. She got our house listed quickly, with her expertise we had an offer which we accepted within a week. We couldn't have been happier with our experience and everything she did for us. Her knowledge of the Chester County and surrounding areas is top notch.""
-Kathleen Delaney, West Chester seller, Client
""Working with Kate was great. My then fiancé now husband met Kate at an open house & felt an instant connection with her. We did not end up getting the house from the open house, but our connection with her was so amazing that we decided to use her as our realtor when we did purchase our home. She was amazing; knew the area, the market, awesome response time (morning, weekends, evenings) & shared her thoughts & knowledge with us. We would definitely recommend Kate to our friends & family.""
-KellyAnn & David Madere, West Chester buyers, Client
""...Kate coached us on the current market conditions, as well as how to best-prepare our home for a short period of time on the market with maximum potential profit -- She delivered! We had multiple offers immediately, and sold our home to a great, young couple who truly appreciated all of the time and money we spent on the house through the years.
Now, we are enjoying our new, yet old farmhouse in Chester County. This wouldn't be possible without the guidance and enthusiasm of Kate. I have, and will continue to recommend her to anyone I know looking to buy or sell a home.""
-Jody & Jesse Lewis, Downingtown Borough sellers, Client
""Kate got the job done, quickly, efficiently and painlessly. She was a pleasure to work with and was very professional and extremely helpful even with items that she did not need to be helpful with. Our house was on the market for about 6 months with 0 offers. We switched realtors to work with Kate and the house was under contract within one month. From there, she guided us through the sale process, negotiated effectively and saw the entire process through. She even helped tie up loose ends such as allocation of furniture and fixtures. We highly recommend Kate and will certainly use her again for any future home purchases or sales.""
-A. Aggarwal, Esq., Chester Springs seller, Client
""...Amazed by how smoothly everything went, I cannot sing her praises loud enough. In fact, if I ever have to sell/buy a property again, I will call on Kate again. I have absolutely NO REGRETS!"
-D. & F. Mawson, Philadelphia sellers/buyers, Client
""Kate is my Realtor. She sold my house in Downingtown and I will absolutely use her in the future. She was always there to help along the way. I first interviewed three realtors and selected Kate. She seemed to care the most and even offered to help me prepare the house. I got the sense with most of the realtors that they would just put some pictures on the internet and that would be the last time I heard from them. Not so with Kate. First she showed me how to properly stage the house. Then she held an open house. By the time she was ready to have the second open house I already had an offer, but the fact that she even planned on having a second so soon made me realize that she doesn't just sit back and let the people find the house. She makes the extra effort to get as many people to the house as she can. As we went through the process of paperwork and other steps she helped me to understand what was happening and what was coming next.""
-Matthew Kerwood, Downingtown Borough, seller, Client
""...I feel we received top-dollar for my mother’s home. I am currently looking for a new home and then will be selling my current residence and will continue to work with Kate. If you are considering selling or buying, I strongly suggest, at minimum, scheduling a consult with her – she will not disappoint!""
-Tim Schwer, Downingtown seller, Client
""Kate is AMAZING! This our second time working with her, on the seller side this time. She is the best communicator, keeps every step on task and on time. Her confidence in her knowledge and experience is priceless and she got us the best price without any issues. Kate truly made this an easy process, as she did when we were buying a few years ago. We trust her completely and really enjoyed working with her!”"
-Kaye & Bob Jeronowitz, West Chester Borough, Client
""We are so grateful that we have found Kate Bailey to list our home In Downingtown!!! Kate had the home under contract less than a week!! She established excellent communication with us, she is confident and very knowledgeable about construction , kept us informed and communicated throughout the process. We highly recommend Kate Bailey for your real estate needs. Working with Kate was a PLEASURE!!!! We are so THANKFULL!!!""
-Anna & Bruno Mercuri, Downingtown sellers, Client
""Kate came highly recommended by one of our friends, and we are so thankful for making the decision to work with her. In a sea of realtors, Kate stands out as someone who will get you your dream home. She is incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, professional and a true go-getter. She is someone who goes above and beyond to get you the home that you want.
We are so fortunate to have worked with Kate during an incredibly competitive market. Kate always kept an optimistic attitude and we knew we could trust her. I honestly can’t think of working with anyone else. Whether you’re a first-time home owner or this is your tenth home, Kate knows how to tailor to your individual needs. Anyone who has the opportunity to work with Kate is truly lucky. She’s the best in the business!""
-Christina & Jon Canter, Downingtown buyers, Client
""Kate somehow managed to make the typically stressful nature of buying and selling a house painless. She’s extremely knowledgeable on all aspects of real estate and guided through the entire process. She worked tirelessly on selling our home and kept us in the loop with all showings and open houses. Our house sold quickly and for top dollar! She was patient, honest and thorough as we searched for our next home. Again, Kate negotiated for us through her strong knowledge of the area and comps. She was always available to us to answer questions and lend an ear for concerns and brainstorming. We highly recommend Kate for your real estate needs!""
-Robyn & John Blankenhagen, WC sellers/buyers, Client

-Adrienne & Tim Knievel, Downingtown Borough buyers, Client
""Kate was absolutely wonderful to work with. She has excellent local knowledge, and was incredibly helpful in our home search, and in listing our old home for sale. She responded to all of our questions promptly, and did a wonderful job guiding us through the sale/purchase process. Despite the fact that we bought during a very "hot" market, she made us feel like we were her only clients. We would highly recommend Kate to anyone looking to buy or sell.""

You you diligently perused us to get the listing. That was also a good sign. So we went with you. Well you proved we were right ! We Listed, then 18 hours after it was on the market we got our price thank you. Then there were several issues to figure out before settlement and you did that successfully. Now we have settled and are VERRY HAPPY! THANK YOU KATE!""

-Dara Zuckernick, WC Borough buyer/seller, Client
""Super easy to work with Kate. No pressure at all to rush you to pick something so she can get you to closing. She really wants you to be happy with your choice. Very knowledgeable about the area, schools, taxes, etc. You can't go wrong with working with Kate!""
-Kevin Treiber, West Chester Borough 2Xbuyer/lessor, Client
""My husband and I couldn’t have asked for a better realtor during this tough housing market. Kate told us exactly what we needed to do in order to get the house we wanted and she was right on point. She was always available to answer our many questions and handle any issues that came up. My husband and I were especially impressed with her negotiation skills. We would definitely work with Kate again!""
-The Battaglia Family, Downingtown buyers, Client

Kate was always accessible and we were confident that she represented our best interests! We would highly recommend Kate.""
-Donna & Jim Miller, Downingtown sellers, Client

-Devon & Eric Marciano, Downingtown , Client
""I've already been telling co-workers and church friends of your expertise and professionalism. As important as that is I think it equally important for a homeowner to have realistic expectations of the current market and be willing to trust the realtor's judgment. Tom and I had several realtors in mind when we were getting ready to sell. However, after our first meeting with you we didn't bother calling anyone else. We really felt you had all the qualities we needed in a realtor and much more! Kate, you have proven to be a competent, trustworthy, enthusiastic and hard-working realtor! Your professional staging and organizational skills are an asset to anyone selling a home. You know what needs to happen to sell a home quickly and work with the homeowner to make it happen in a timely fashion. Your availability to communicate with us day or night made this a less stressful process. Thank you very much!""
-Jayne & Thomas Wolf, Downingtown Borough sellers, Client
""Working with Kate made the process of buying our first home so much easier. We met Kate at an open house and were really glad she provided her card and suggested working with us. Kate did a great job of explaining the home buying process to us and convincing us that it was in our interest to work with a buyer's agent. She was respectful of our time and pace(especially when we put the search on pause for a couple of weeks when our baby was born) but when we got serious, she was attentive and really ensured that we stayed on track. She never pushed us beyond our financial comfort zone and as we toured homes together she did a great job of listening to what worked for us and tailoring the listings accordingly. When we found the home we eventually purchased, Kate did a great job of putting the home in perspective compared to other properties we were considering to clarify our choice...""
-Emily & Patrick Mortimer, Exton buyers & sellers, Client
""I had the pleasure of working with Kate Bailey of Coldwell Banker Preferred of Exton as my realtor during the search for my new home. As a first time home buyer I was inexperienced when it came to the processes and details that went into the search and subsequent purchase of a home. Kate made this difficult and stressful time a lot easier for me by explaining every detail and possible scenario that we could have encountered during our search. By going over these things beforehand I was not surprised during the search and it ended up making my purchase a very smooth and relatively easy process. Kate was the first realtor I spoke with at the beginning of the search for my new home. Therefore I do not have any experience in dealing with other realtors. However, after my experience with her I do not believe you will find a more professional and dedicated realtor out there and I would recommend Kate to any friend or colleague who is in the market to buy or sell a home.""
-Joshua Stewart, Coatesville buyer, Client
""Kate was very knowledge in our home buying process. Since we recently moved to this state she was very helpful in explaining what things we should be looking out for. She made sure that all steps required in the buying process were taken care of.""
-Beth & Michael Targioni, Landenberg buyers, Client
""We used Kate for both a sale (in Chester Springs, PA) and a purchase (in Lansdale, PA) and she was wonderful to work with both times! We have since recommended her multiple times. She was very knowledgeable about the area and also helped guide us through the nuances of an estate sale. She was also very helpful in suggesting the right amount and type of work to be done and even helped provide vendors specific to our area.
Kate was an excellent advocate for what we needed both on the buyer side and the seller side - we will be sure to use her again for our next home.""
-A. Aggarwal, Esq., Lansdale buyer, Client
""First things first, Kate is a rock star realtor. Her determination, work ethic, intelligence, compassion, patience, ability to listen... sets her apart. I was working with Kate during a transitional time of my life and I had so many different emotions tied to this new start. I had a bit of fear wrapped up into it as well because this was the first time I would be purchasing a home and doing it alone. In a seller's market, the inventory was low and the competition between buyers was high. Sometimes I would get cold feet and pull back, other times I would ask her to see something that wouldn't even fit the bill for what I was looking for. She would fill me with the encouragement I needed to ultimately land me into the perfect house for my two sons and I. Through it all she remained understanding. In addition to being a realtor, she was a friend and a cheerleader. ""
-Donna Viso, West Chester buyer/lessor, Client
""Kate went above and beyond for me while selling my home. She made suggestions for a few decorating ideas and added a home warranty plan for buyer incentive. After 8 days my house was sold. Kate worked with the buyers' agent to finalize any loose ends and explained in detail the next steps to me. She sent me a timeline from the agreement signing to settlement and kept me informed along the way. I have recommended Kate to others and they have been just as pleased. I will definitely call on Kate for any future real estate needs.""
-Kim Lewis, West Chester Borough seller, Client
""To say that Kate made this an easy process is an understatement! My parents needed to sell their house and I just knew Kate was the person to help us do that! From our first meeting, we just had so much confidence in her! She was extremely patient, honest and trustworthy! We had a few bumps along the road getting the house ready for market, but she worked with us every step of the way and the house sold in 3 days with multiple offers over asking! She walked us through every next step right up until closing! I can’t recommend Kate enough if you are looking to buy or sell your house! Thanks again, Kate!""

""...Kate is genuine and trustworthy and was able to make everything mutually agreeable between me and the sellers. I worked with another real estate agent for over a year in my search for a home before meeting Kate and did not see the same results at all. I highly recommend Kate Bailey to anyone in need of a hard-working, knowledgeable, and reliable realtor!""
-Jaime Perez, Downingtown Borough buyer, Client
""...Kate kept me informed and communicated throughout the process. I had already moved 500 miles away to Maine so Kate handled the 'on the ground' needs of the house. Kate knowledgeably handled the negotiations of the offer and the settlement. She was so well organized and kept me informed. Even the Title Company woman we worked with mentioned how terrific Kate was to work with. Kate is a Pro! The result speaks for itself. Kate had my home under contract 16 days after listing it and she did not lower the price! I am so thankful to Kate!!!""
-Lisa Graves, Phoenixville seller, Client
""Kate proved to be an invaluable asset. As a first-time home buyer, I knew next to nothing about the process, and her guidance turned what could have been a nerve-racking experience into an exciting one. She got me everything I wanted (and even some things I didn't realize I needed) from the seller at a price that was lower than I expected. Kate was always available to answer my questions, and I never felt pressured or confused. Even if I just needed to have my hand patted and be reassured, Kate was never too busy. Things couldn't have gone more smoothly - from the time I first toured the property right up to closing day, everything happened according to plan, with no surprises. And what was most impressive to me is that Kate treated the purchase of my modest two-bedroom home as if it was a million-dollar mansion. I can't recommend her highly enough.""
-Stephen Zurawsky, West Brandywine Township, buyer, Client
""My girlfriend and I recently used Kate Bailey in helping us find a new home. It’s never easy going through the process of finding that one and only place that is right for you and you alone, but Kate made it feel as easy as anybody ever could. Kate genuinely had OUR best interest at heart, never pushy, always the professional, and always available. Once she knew what we were looking for, Kate found exactly what we wanted. Thank you Kate for all your hard work and dedication, you made us feel as though we were family and not merely clients. You Rock!!!""
-Amanda & Mike Finnerty, WC lessees/buyers, Client

-Emily & Patrick Mortimer, Exton buyers & sellers, Client
""I'm so grateful that I found Kate Bailey to list and SELL my home! My home in Phoenixville had been on the market for 5 months when I decided I needed to switch realtors. Kate had the home under contract 16 days after taking over the listing! We did not lower the price! Before we listed the home, Kate took a lot of time to learn every nook and cranny inside and out of the house. She did the research work on the neighborhood and surrounding vicinity. She established excellent communication with us. I am impressed with so many aspects of Kate. She is confident and dynamic. You will know that as soon as you meet her! She grew up in a real estate family and has an intuition that comes from that. She is very knowledgeable of construction and the mechanics of houses. Kate is an artist and very visual. She added a few touches to my home that made the highlights pop. Kate worked hard to sell my home. She proactively reached out to her vast network and let them know about my home...""
