""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
""Thank you. From the moment I met you I knew your energy and motivation and knowledge was going to be a successful mix for selling my house and my wife agreed instantly. 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!""
-Yvonne & Kenneth Miller, Downingtown 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...""
-Lisa Graves, Phoenixville seller, 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
""...She continued to represent us through negotiations and the closing on the property went through without a hitch. What more could you ever ask for when going through such a complicated process. 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
"Throughout our search for a house, which took more than a year, Kate was always there looking out for us, helping us to find the perfect home. She also sold our house in three days!
She is professional and knowledgeable, and understands the importance of tailoring her search to the needs of her clients. The other thing that really stands out is that she loves her job. She is enthusiastic and determined to help her clients. We highly recommend Kate. We're so thankful for her help!"
-Karen Reynolds & Jon Redmond, Client
""Kate made the home buying and selling process easy and smooth. She was knowledgeable, helpful and responsive the through it all. She scheduled the inspections and attended them when I was unable to. I trust her recommendations.""
-Amanda Finnerty, West Grove Borough, 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
""Kate worked with us as a buyer's agent. She was very patient with our unfamiliarity with buying in the US and extremely responsive to queries and in providing updates. She was forthright in her opinions about properties and negotiations when asked (which I valued). She helped us navigate a tricky purchase with multiple stages of negotiations with constant good humor and positivity. I would not hesitate to recommend Kate to other buyers and sellers, she is a very skilled professional and I feel fortunate that she was representing us through this purchase.""
-Emma & Matthew Snyder, Chester Springs 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 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 were so grateful to have been connected with Kate once our search extended into her territory. She helped us secure our home in an incredibly competitive market with almost a dozen other offers. Her knowledge, expertise, and communication skills made buying our first home feel seamless.”"
-Devon & Eric Marciano, Downingtown , 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
""Personal, friendly, loyal and knowledgeable sums it up! The very best! Listened to all our preferences, and took the time to help qualify each property with us so we knew ahead of time. Made the most of our time together, followed up and through in every aspect including financing and closing.""
-Kaye & Bob Jeronowitz, West Chester Borough buyers, 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 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
""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
""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
""My home had been listed with another agent for months. I switched the listing to Kate Bailey. We did not reduce the price and within 2 weeks it was under contract! Kate is proactive! She is an artist and a savvy business woman. I am so thankful I listed with Kate!!""
-Lisa Graves, Phoenixville seller 2nd Review, Client
""Our experience buying and selling was a very challenging one due to the very unique properties on both the buying and selling side of things. Kate will be by your side every step of the way. She is professional and confident, yet makes the entire process as laid back as possible. Thank you, Kate!""
-Adrienne & Joey Giunta, WC sellers/buyers, Client
""Working with Kate is everything you would expect from a consummate professional. She does what she says she is going to do, on the timeline she agrees to, and without fuss. She is firm and direct without being pushy or overbearing. I would be pleased to work with her again.""
-Dara Zuckernick, WC Borough buyer/seller, Client
""Kate is very good at what she does. Having grown up in the area she is extremely knowledgeable and current on all things in West Chester and surrounding areas.""
-Sandy & Jimmy Coll, West Chester sellers, 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
""...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 Bailey of Coldwell Banker Preferred was highly recommended to us by a fellow parishioner. We used her for both the sale of our current home and the purchase of our new home. Kate’s knowledge and expertise in positioning our house for sale in a Fall Market as well has her design background in staging the house and property resulted in an offer and sales agreement in four days. Her network of contacts was helpful in getting compliance items completed and passed and her company made settlement very smooth. On the other side, Kate was most helpful using her knowledge of new construction to guide us and ask the right questions when dealing with the builders of our new home. Although we did most of the packing and moving ourselves, she was readily available if we needed help. We would recommend Kate as your Realtor!""
-Karen & Ronald Meacham, Downingtown sellers/buyers, 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
""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
""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
""Simply put, Kate is a consummate professional. She knows the real estate industry inside and out. I had the pleasure to work with her this past summer/fall 2017, when tasked with the responsibility of liquidating my mother’s estate.
Kate is an excellent communicator, which is critical in today’s world of marketing. She followed up with every showing and undoubtedly would get feedback from the buyer’s agent every time. Upon reaching a final sales agreement, Kate was on top of every detail, the schedule of events, inspections, etc. I was kept informed every step of the way and would receive almost instant responses to any question I had. Kate even made herself available to meet inspectors and contractors at the property, when my schedule wouldn’t allow, which was a tremendous help.
Being a local girl, she knows this market well. We had a few offers before accepting what was near our asking price. Kate offered sound advice regarding counteroffers and negotiating the final sale price...""
-Tim Schwer, Downingtown seller, 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 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
""...When it came time to work on the mortgage paperwork, Kate stayed involved and in touch to help answer questions(even while on vacation), even though the process was largely driven by the mortgage company. We really appreciated Kate's guidance and straightforward approach as we navigated buying our first home.""
-Emily & Patrick Mortimer, Exton buyers & sellers, 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 had our back from beginning to end and communicated well and quickly. If she didn't know the answer to our billion questions, she would find out and get us the info we needed. As first time home buyers, her patience, expertise and professionalism was so very much appreciated.""
-Adrienne & Tim Knievel, Downingtown Borough buyers, Client
""We couldn't be more pleased with Kate's service and attention to detail. We are new to the US and she really took time to help us select the right home for our family in an unfamiliar market. We had a wonderful experience and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kate!""
-Donna & David O'Brien, Landenberg 2Xbuyers, 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
""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
""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
""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
""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!""
-Erin Hayes, Downingtown Borough seller, 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
""Could not have asked for a better experience. When you connect with someone at the first meeting, you know it’s going to be a good experience. Kate helped my aunt sell her home that she had lived in for over 50 years. Very understanding on the emotional impact that has on a 95 year old person. Made the process effortless for her and kept us up to date as things moved forward. Cannot thank Kate enough for her kindness and expertise! Highly recommend!”"

-D. & F. Mawson, Philadelphia sellers/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
""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
""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.

We would definitely work with Kate again!""
-The Battaglia Family, Downingtown buyers, 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.

We trust her completely and really enjoyed working with her!”"
-Kaye & Bob Jeronowitz, West Chester Borough, Client
""We can't put into words how thankful we were to meet Kate when we did. The first home we were under contract with fell through and we were having communication problems with our previous realtors. A month later we met Kate and our experience with her was absolutely amazing ! We looked at several houses and finally found a home that we loved . Kate was very helpful and was always optimistic even when we weren't. She would work around our schedules and always responded to us when we had questions. We truly believe Kate went the extra mile and we thank you so much Kate! We honestly can't thank you enough. Kate is very knowledgeable and definitely educated us on the home buying process ! We recommend Kate to anyone looking to Buy or Sell their house!""
