I don’t know how I can possibly leave a review without telling the entire remarkable story, because whenever I think about it, I still can’t believe we pulled this whole thing off so fast.
My husband and I were heading out of state to look at real estate near our family, and we met with Kathy to discuss the value of our home so we would know what price range to look at. While on our trip we found our dream home, but the morning after we got back, my husband never woke up. Soon after, still wanting to go ahead with the move, I talked to Kathy and she came right over and advised me on the most important things I could do to sell my home fast, because time was of the essence if I still wanted the house we had fallen in love with. Now this was a huge undertaking, as we were original owners and had lived there for 42 years, accumulated a ton of clutter, an attic full of stuff, and most everything to the house was original, including the carpet, the A/C, the garage door, you get the idea. Kathy and both of her charming realtor sons, Eric and Ryan, spent countless hours helping me box up things, move furniture out to the garage, rearrange what was left, and they even brought in a stager and a gardener to help make my raggedy home look & feel like a 5 star penthouse suite. It was so beautiful and relaxing that I almost wanted to stay. Just like that it was ready for the listing photos and drone video. At this point, the Leimkuhler Group still hadn’t even had me sign a contract. That’s how special they are. They are so kind, caring, trustworthy and professional in every aspect of their business. All three of them feel like family.
They held an open house the following weekend and we had multiple offers just as Kathy had anticipated. We had offers well over asking price, and accepted an offer in just 9 days with a 3 week escrow!
But wait, that’s not all. They made me up a great Estate Sale Flyer, advertised it, put up signs and the three of them helped me put up canopies and move my heavy garage sale items out. They also came back to move out some big items to the curb for donation right before I moved out. Whatever I needed, they were there within minutes all the way through the selling process. The icing on the cake was the phone call I got from Kathy as I was on the road to my new home – she said, “Congratulations! Escrow has closed on your sale and you are now officially homeless.” And yes, escrow also closed on my out of state dream home the following day. Every single step of my home sale just easily slipped into place without a hitch. Kathy even reached out to my out of state realtor several times during this process to advise and help her with all the tips and tricks that make Kathy such a great realtor.
This just goes to show that with the right team and God on your side, miracles do in fact happen.
I’ll be forever grateful for all three of you,
Julie Wade
