Dear Kathy,

We are writing to thank you for making our move possible. Not only were you able to help us sell our home in this extremely challenging market, quicker than anyone expected, but you were also able to get our "price" for the home. In addition, you were able to do so with some very challenging contingencies that we needed to put on the sale. To make matters even more difficult, you were able to simultaneously find and orchestrate the purchase of a marvelous dream home for us.

The support and energy you invested in making sure that we got what we wanted was astounding. Without your commitment to making it happen, and your constant attention to detail and focus on moving the process, we never would have been able to realize our dream of moving to this incredible home.

We are extremely happy with both ends of the process, selling our house and purchasing our current residence. We cannot thank you enough for making it possible.

If we ever have the inclination to make another move, you are the one we are going to call!

-Jim & Deborah Marshall, Mission Beach,CA

Hi Kathy,

My wife and I would like to tell you how much we appreciated you help in selling our house: we got a fair price in a difficult market. Before we put our house on the market we considered selling through a discount broker, or even selling it on our own. In hindsight, I think those would have been poor choices for us. It seems to me that in a difficult or uncertain market it is important to have the best agent you can find, and I don´t know of anyone in Pacific Beach that could have done a better job than you.

Kathy,

Just a brief note to extol the virtues and sing the praises of the above-and-beyond behavior of my favorite Realtor, Kathy Evans. Once you get past the obvious histrionics of the cellular-phone-on-the-beach-sunglasses-red-convertible-Corvette-with-personalized-plates aura, you find a serious, focused professional who is a tenacious advocate for all her clients.Truth be told, she came to me six years ago representing the developer for the townhouse I was buying as my first ever real estate investment. After this true growth opportunity of watching her service her client, the seller, I realized that this person was going to work for me in the future. It was much like observing how your spouse's attorney handles her case in your divorce and realizing that you chose the wrong counselor! Next time, you want them on your side! So I sought her out when it was time to upgrade to a single-family dwelling and put her to work for me. In short, I can't wait until I make more money so I can do it all over again. I recommend her to anyone who needs a house.

Kathy,

Among all the many Realtors I have worked with in the last 20 years, Kathy Evans stands head and shoulders above the rest. She must be the hardest working person in real estate. Kathy knows her stuff and gets the job done!

Using Kathy Evans, professionalism combined with a sense of humor and problem solver extraordinaire, resulted in highly successful business transactions. Deciding after 21 years of being a landlady and occupant of one of 5 units to sell and change my lifestyle was a gigantic decision. Your guidance on listing and selling resulted in my property being sold for full price. That, therefore, allowed me to look, with your knowledge of the beach, to find my new dream-come-true abode. All of this was done, escrow opened and closed within 3 months from my first meeting with you. Thanks Kathy for helping me to follow my dream.

We utilized Kathy Evans to sell our home in Pacific Beach. Without question, she did an excellent job. We highly recommend her to anyone in the beach area who is looking to sell their home for top dollar.When it came time to sell our house, we interviewed several good agents. Kathy Evans, however, won us over. She clearly knew the Pacific Beach market inside and out. She was extremely well versed in the comparable sales market (i.e. our 'competition') and this knowledge gave her a great ability to assign a solid asking price for our home and to negotiate forcefully for that price.In addition, prior to placing our home on the market, Kathy had firm and realistic recommendations as to how we could enhance the positive appeal of our home in order to obtain top dollar. Regarding the value of improvements or repairs prior to listing, Kathy provided her frank opinion and then quickly obtained contractors who competently did the work, and at a fair price. She truly is a 'can do' person!Kathy also kept us very well informed during the entire process, contacting us, at a minimum weekly, to provide us with a status report. In essence, Kathy worked hard to get our home sold quickly and at top dollar. And to top it off, we had a lot of fun working with her! Her keen sense of humor was a real asset, especially during the inevitable tough decision times. Kathy Evans does not mince words. She is not for the timid or for someone who wants to hear only good things about his or her home. But if you want the best price, and if you want someone who will work diligently and honestly as an advocate for your home, then we strongly recommend Kathy as your real estate agent. She does 'Sell the Beach,' and she sells it well.

I first met Kathy Evans in the summer of 1992 while attempting to purchase a property that she held the listing for. Though I had faith in my own real estate agent, I felt that the listing party had the superior representation in the transaction. My first and lasting impression of Kathy was that it would be best to have her on my side if I was ever to have any other business dealings with her.Several years later, my wife and I decided to purchase another home. When we asked each other whom we should use as our agent, the spontaneous, mutual and enthusiastic response was, 'Kathy Evans.'Needless to say, we enlisted her services as our agent and the results were stellar. My wife and I are both professionals and easily recognize high professional ethics and standards in others. When Kathy said, 'Don't worry, I'll take care of it,' it was done without my ever having to check up or remind. We feel that our needs, interests and concerns were recognized and served by the best agent we could have chosen. Kathy Evans was on my side that time and will be with all my future real estate transactions.

Kathy is a very hard-working, very knowledgeable and straightforward person who knows the market, the buyers and sellers, and knows what will work in the best interests of her clients. She will remain our agent and friend for life and we will refer her to anyone looking at selling or buying.

Kathy Evans and I met when I began my residential development career in San Diego. During the following 13 years, I have continued to use Kathy almost exclusively as my representative, both in the purchasing and selling of my projects. I continue to rely on Kathy for advice on market conditions, whether they are rental properties or homes sales. She continues to impress me with her attention to detail and absolute concern for accurate disclosure. She has developed her career into that of a consummate professional.

Without hesitation, I would highly recommend Kathy Evans as a representative agent in any real estate transaction in the beach communities. Her knowledge of the market allows for her to set realistic expectations for her clients and then exceed those expectations. She is always attentive to what the client's needs are, with solutions to meet them. Even in dealing with some tough situations and personalities, she handled herself in the most professional manner. Overall, I would highly recommend Kathy and would use her in any real estate transaction that may come up in the future.

I would like to thank you and your assistant for your collective help and support in selling my property in Pacific Beach. Aside from the standard services that Realtors are expected to perform in the normal course of their jobs, you provided much additional support, allowing me to closely time the sale of my home with the purchase of my new home. Your attention to detail was extremely appreciated, especially in the course of the negotiation. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you as the broker of choice for those wishing to sell property in the beach area. In addition, from my prior experience with you as my buying broker, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you for buyers either. Once again, thanks!

Kathy Evans represented me during the purchase of a new residence. I had never met Kathy prior to this transaction, so I was immediately impressed with her knowledge of the market as well as her energy and results-oriented approach to house buying. I've bought and sold several houses in my life, and often times the agents you deal with approach real estate as if it is not business, but rather act on a purely emotional and non-rational basis. Kathy is able to distill issues and concerns down to a basic level and deal with obstacles as you would in any business transaction. Besides possessing the no-nonsense traits I described above, I was impressed by the way Kathy was able to deliver the right product to me. I had some very concrete ideas about the house I wanted. Further constraining the situation was the fact that inventory was low and new listings were moving very quickly. Rather then try to shoehorn me into something I didn't want, Kathy listened to my product requirements, and found the house I ultimately purchased through local contacts. The house was never listed in the MLS, so this allowed us ample time to study the house and negotiate on an individual basis with the seller. If Kathy hadn't taken the initiative to find a home through unconventional channels, I believe I would have suspended my search. I would recommend Kathy because she has the confidence and experience to try something different to get the job done. She is focused, rational, and results-oriented. I was very satisfied with the outcome of the transaction that Kathy managed for me.

Thanks a million for the professional and effective manner in which you and your staff brokered the sale of our condo. You kept us fully informed during all stages of our listing, gave us a lot of helpful advice, kept the area brokers and the public advised of our offering, and contributed to a successful closing. Judy and I have been in the real estate business (on the commercial-investment side) for over 25 years, and recognize and appreciate good work when we see it.

It's been two weeks since my house closed, which is exactly how long it took you to sell it. YOU GO GIRL! I wish to express my deepest gratitude for your exceptional performance. I knew the first time I met you three years ago you were very knowledgeable, courteous, and efficient. I was impressed with the prompt attention given to me by you and your staff. I see why you're Number 1 in Pacific Beach. Thanks again for all your help!

Kathy Evans represented my wife and I in the sale of our Pacific Beach residence, and I believe the fact that we followed her advice each step of the way contributed to the successful sale of our home in 38 days. Kathy was realistic about the price, and had good suggestions on what to do to increase the saleability of our home. And her response time to any questions we had along the way was quick and efficient. I wouldn't hesitate to use Kathy as our agent should we relocate again in the future.

This is just a note to thank you for the extremely professional and high quality service that you and your assistant provided to me in connection with the sale of this property. It was a pleasure dealing with true professionals who take service to their clients seriously. I will enthusiastically recommend you to others who are buying and selling property in the beach area.

I recently sold my home in Pacific Beach with the help of Kathy Evans. For many years I had seen real estate advertisements touting her as being a top seller of homes in Pacific Beach. The decision to sell my home was really an overnight decision when I saw another home in this area that was up for sale. Although I loved my home, I was looking for a larger home in the same area in which I already lived. I decided to call Kathy on the spur of the moment one weekend to interview her and to see if she would be interested in listing my home for sale. I also wanted to see if we could work well together . She came to my house later that day and after talking with her, I immediately decided to use her as the salesperson for my home. Kathy's enthusiasm for selling real estate in this area was apparent from our first meeting. She was very helpful and walked me through each step that I needed to take from listing my home to the actual close of escrow. I can't stress enough how impressed I was with her attention to every detail. I had a lot of questions that I needed answered in a timely fashion, and she was always available to troubleshoot any problem that came along. She was very thorough with all the steps needed to sell my home. It is rare nowadays to find someone that is willing to work and who will pay attention to small details that need to be attended to. Selling a house can be an emotional, stressful, and hectic time to be a homeowner. It is perhaps one of the most important decisions that a person will make in their lifetime. When one chooses a reliable, competent, and accessible real estate agent they can be sure that the transaction is done properly with their best interests in mind. Kathy represents all of these qualities that a homeowner is looking for when making the decision to sell their home. My home sold in less than a week. I had Kathy price it according to other homes that had sold recently in Pacific Beach. It was not over or under priced but rather correctly priced for the homes in this area. Kathy's expertise in this area helped me to sell my home quickly and easily, all things considered. I now understand why Kathy is one of the top sellers in Pacific Beach. She has earned that title.

Thank you so very much for the way you handled our sale. We know that we had a difficult house to sell and you did everything you informed us you would do at our first meeting. You used your experience and good humor to handle the "behind the scenes" details, which required a great deal of patience and skill. We will always be grateful to you. If you were a concert, we'd give you a standing ovation!
