My husband and I began searching for a home in early 2021, in the middle of a pandemic and an incredibly competitive market. I think we would still be searching if it weren't for Kate. From our first conversation, she set our minds at ease. She found listings we loved and got us into showings that worked with our schedules. And she was wonderful with our daughter, who decided that she was Kate's "assistant" and often insisted on helping Kate show us the home. Kate's knowledge of the area and her professionalism made the whole process go smoothly, from showing to offer to inspection. She also leveraged her network on our behalf--when our former landlord tried to take advantage of us before we moved out, Kate recommended a couple of resources and contacts we could speak to in order to resolve the issues. Her warmth and calm, reassuring manner made a complicated process--not to mention one of the biggest decisions of our life--so much smoother and easier. I would recommend her highly and without hesitation!

Working with Kate was amazing from start to finish - she is knowledgeable, incredibly proactive, and was deeply committed to making sure we found the perfect house for our family. Kate took the time to develop a deep understanding of what was most important to us, and she was truly committed to making sure we found it. Our search took over a year - we were moving from NYC to Westchester and initially took some time to familiarize ourselves with a number of towns, and Kates knowledge was invaluable in helping us navigate that. Then the pandemic hit in the middle of our search, and that is when I really felt so grateful that we had found Kate and had her on our side. She is not only dedicated and proactive, she is reassuring and encourages you to take your time. She understands the gravity of the decision, and she wants you to find the perfect home for your family. She has a great eye, and she is able to see around the corner and helped us spot things we might not have. I am thrilled to say that we ended up finding the home of our dreams, and I dont think we would have made it happen without Kate. When the sale was on the line, she delivered big and helped us think through everything to position our offer to be the one that was ultimately accepted in a super competitive market. And beyond all of that, she is an incredibly kind person and a true pleasure to work with. We have two young children (our search started when I was pregnant with my second, so she also had patience with us from the newborn stage on up to a 1 year old, plus a spirited toddler in tow!) and she was incredibly understanding of our schedules, wonderful with both of our children, and truly a joy to spend time with. Kate has our absolute highest recommendation!

My wife and I just purchased our first home, and we couldnt have done it without Kate. From the get-go, Kate was extremely responsive, professional, and courteous. We have an infant and she was always willing to work around our schedule for showings. She gave great advice as to what to be cognizant of throughout the entire search, and in the end, she helped us find the house we fell in love with. Two weeks before we were set to close, an issue arose with the house, and Kate was absolutely on point with helping us work with all of the stakeholders to get things resolved, easing our anxiety, and just being warm and reassuring. She was completely supportive of any decision we made, and never seemed pushy or rushed. I highly recommend Kate for anyone looking to buy a home in this crazy pandemic market, and beyond. Youll be in good hands.

I would strongly recommend Kate Marien to those looking to buy in this complex and challenging pandemic environment. Kate is knowledgeable about the local areas and the process start to finish. She is responsive and proactive in anticipating potential issues along the way. We worked with Kate for nearly a year while our search took various turns and pauses in light of the Covid pandemic. Even when not in active search mode, Kate was quick to offer assistance in brainstorming and networking as we looked to navigate an unprecedented situation. Along the way, Kate prioritized our relationship and our goals over trying to make a quick sale. We would absolutely work with Kate again and recommend her to those looking for a thoughtful, knowledgeable, and family friendly agent in the area.
