What do Clients Say?

Kathleen,I wish to express my appreciation for all your hard work in helping Patti and me find our dream home here in The Landings.We first contacted you in February after reading about The Landings on the web. We emailed you a list of those features that we felt were "must haves", "desirables", and those which were "deal breakers". In addition, we emailed you a list of homes that we had viewed on the web which we felt met most or all of our criteria. From your experience you were able to intuitively determine what it was we were looking for and added several more to the list for us to see. During that first visit in February you were able to fine tune your intuition and were able to really hone in on the kind of home we were looking for and not waste our time looking at those which you knew would not meet our expectations.As we had not yet placed our present home on the market we were in no real rush to move. During the ensuing months you kept us up to date via email and sending us pictures of new listings. During those months, we came down several more times, always on the weekends that you graciously made available for us.Finally in May, thinking we still had plenty of time to find a home, we put our house up for sale… and sold it in 4 days to close in just 3 weeks! Now we had to find a home. We called in a panic, and once again, you graciously made yourself available for the weekend. We found a house, and you helped us negotiate to a price that was fair to both us and the seller. With your help, we were able to take care of many of the contractual details over the internet. You even found temporary housing for us when our own closing was delayed several times.Kathleen, as a corporate guy, I moved many times in my career. I have not worked with a realtor that was more pleasant, knowledgeable, flexible, understanding, and willing to devout their personal time to us, than you were.Simply put… YOU'RE THE BEST! Many thanks,Geoff & Patti Jegier

Both a Buyer and Seller

My wife and I worked with Kathleen for over a year trying to find the perfect house for us in The Landings. Kathleen is very personable, extremely knowledgeable about homes in the area and patient. We never felt pressured to purchase and always felt she was working in our best interest. Since we were working on the purchase outside the local area, she always made us aware of new listings that met our criteria and told us if we should make a visit to see the property. We could not have been more pleased with Kathleen's work ethic and yes she did find us the perfect home which we love. Mike & Judy Harhai

Buyer

The process of selling a home can sometimes be a daunting one at best. However, when we look back on our experience with Kathleen during this process we can say without hesitation that having her as our REALTOR® was a big plus and the absolute right decision.From the inception of putting our house on the market to the day of our closing Kathleen was the ultimate professional, as well as pleasant and upbeat with a positive attitude. She is up to speed and has excellent knowledge of the use of today's modern technology which was a big plus in communicating with her. She was attentive to us when needed and prompt with her responses. When it came time for negotiations Kathleen presented us with a clear cut marketing strategy using comparison homes on the market.If you are contemplating selling your home, we strongly recommend considering Kathleen and her team as your real estate professionals.Ron & Madeline Thompson

Seller

We would like to recognize both Kathleen Cummings and George Jorgenson with The Landings Company for their professionalism and effectiveness in selling our home. We feel that we must combine our remarks about them as a team because of the unique team approach in which one actually represents the buyer and one the seller, yet providing a balanced approach was very effective in our case.However, it requires that both agents have professional integrity and understand the potential of conflict of interest, and have the objective of fairness to both parties to end up with two satisfied customers. George and Kathleen have these traits and understand the business well and combined with good negotiation and communication skills make a winning team. Jim & Ann Fendig
