Client Testimonials:
Heath and Kim Watson, Lake St. Louis, MO--Kim and I just wanted to let you know that you did a highly exceptional job in handling the marketing and sales transaction of our home.
As a sales manager, I have several criteria that I have for those who work for me. I expect honesty, integrity, enthusiasm, and a commitment to the customer. I truly believe that these characteristics define a professional salesperson and make one successful in the field of sales.
I can say with all honesty that you exhibited those characteristics. Kim and I would not hesitate to recommend your services to anyone looking to sell their home.
Tim and Lisa Calahan, Cottleville, MO--Kathy's extensive knowledge, resourcefulness and professionalism gave me a renewed respect for the profession of the realtor. For the last couple of year, I searched the CBGundaker website. Although I thought I could find what I was looking for on my own, ultimately, it was Kathy who found the home we would end up purchasing. We first met Kathy 2+ years ago at an open house at a time when we were not even sure we would be making a move. During the last couple years, Kathy very patiently worked with us always keeping us in the loop but never pressuring us. We became friends and she really got to know us. I remember the day Kathy called to tell us why she thought we would like our new home and she ended up being exactly dead on. The home Kathy found for us ended up meeting both our needs fully and we are very happy in our new home.
Kent and Katie Hadler, St Charles, MO --We were very happy with Kathy's services. She was so easy to work with---never hard to schedule with and never, ever pushy (which meant a lot being young, vulnerable & brand new buyers) We would absolutely use Kathy again (but hopefully not too soon!) and recommend her to anyone who was interested in selecting a realtor! She was honest, let us make our own decisions, a very hard worker, and so nice! We are still hapy with our house, thanks in part to Kathy!
Jared and Lezlie Kizer, Chesterfield, MO--It was very refreshing to have a real estate agent who was kind, knowledgeable, and professional. We felt completely comfortable with making our home purchase with Kathy there to guide us. We wouldn't hesitate to refer Kathy to our friends and family. Thanks!
Ron and Cheryl Williams, Moscow Mills, MO--Couldn't have asked for more professional or better service. Kathy was organized, efficient, timely and had all the right suggestions. When there were problems, she addressed them immediately. Top notch.
Greg and Gina Bush, St. Charles, MO—This is our third home purchase, but only our first home purchased with the help of a buyer’s agent. What a difference Kathy made in the ease of our real estate transaction. From beginning to end (and even since we have moved into our home), she has been available to assist us with our various needs. We will most certainly recommend her services to others!
Ed and Penny Pla, St. Charles, MO—We initially started looking for houses by ourselves in March 2007. We met Kathy at an open house. She immediately began looking for properties for us and kept us informed by e-mail and phone. We met two other agents that day that never followed up with us. For six months, we didn’t know where we were going to relocate, but Kathy kept us informed and remained in touch the whole time. She was great to work with, patient and very accommodating.
Rick and Cindy Roth, O'Fallon, MO—Kathy, what a wonderful experience it was to have you in my corner when my family decided to relocate to South Carolina. Thank you for the open house days in the middle of the holidays. I hope when others are looking for a realtor they look to you and your experience. Thanks so much, I know I could not have done this on my own.
Gloria Kohn, St. Charles, MO—I would surely recommend Kathy to anyone I know who is wanting to make a move. Kathy did a great job and was very patient with me.
Hossein Johari, St. Charles, MO—Kathy understood the type of house I was looking for within my budget. She quickly found a house for me exactly the way I was picturing it. She was very helpful through the entire process. I very much appreciated her understanding and assistance and would recommend Kathy to anyone who wants to work with one of the best.
Leonard and Jennifer Marciante, St. Charles, MO—Kathy was great to work with. She communicated everything to us and kept us informed, which I really liked. She was very patient and understanding which helped us out a lot.
Maria Thompson, St. Charles, MO—Kathy is the best agent. Always putting her clients' needs first.
Michael Witkowski, St. Charles, MO--I wanted to let you know how much help you have been over this past 6 month period that I was searching for a home. You listened to me, found out my needs and wants, and only ever showed me homes within my expectations. That was so awesome! I had to deal with
way tooo many real estate agents prior to you, who would just flood me with homes. Unfortunately, most of them were not in my area, or even in my price range. With you though, I finally found someone who listened to my needs, and reacted accordingly. That was such a blessing. I'm very fortunate to have found you, and I will always make sure you are the only real estate agent I provide to anyone who is looking to sell or buy a home. Thank you so much Kathy! You were a great help, and offered plenty of advice that got me into my dream home!
Agnes Bolwell, St. Charles, MO—With Kathy as my realtor, buying my house was easier than ever before. Kathy is very client-centered and very professional. She is easy to work with and it was a pleasure doing business with her.
David and Nico Lecon, Webster Groves, MO—Kathy turned the typically frantic experience of selling a house into a positive experience. She sold our house at the first Open House and for the asking price!
Ed and Terri Trapf, St. Peters, MO—Our personal past employment with a local realtor and successful non-realtor purchases were factors that made us consider selling our home ourselves. However, as busy professionals, we decided that the services of a realtor would make the process easier and faster while minimizing hassles and mistakes.
We were restricted in location, price, and features and had shared our needs with several agents. We also had the opportunity to list with a family member at a reduced rate. We interviewed several candidates over a few months and chose Kathy Koutsobinas, whom we met at an open house. We selected Kathy for her initiative and follow up. We met her on a Sunday afternoon and heard from her later the same evening with property that met our criteria. She continued to follow up and even supplied materials to educate us on preparing our home to get the best value. Kathy’s approach made us feel she was truly interested in seeing our family find the “home” we needed, rather than just make a sale. She devoted a lot of time to our interest. We wrote a contract on a home she found one day after it hit the market. She sold our old home the week we listed. The buyer and sellers we were involved with had some unusual twists that Kathy resolved quickly. She made herself available to us for a number of items directly and indirectly related to the process, addressing every need and even continued assisting us with new home details after the closing.
We would and already have recommended Kathy to others. Kathy’s involvement in our entire experience was pleasant and positive. We would absolutely use her services again.
Tony LaMark & Dale Merrill, Orange, CA-- Because of an unexpected job opportunity, we were planning a last minute move to St. Louis.
One never knows what to expect when being referred to a business through a website. And, having never been to St. Louis, we were at a loss as to how to find housing in the city to which we were relocating. Within a few hours of registering on line for a realtor, we received a reply from Kathy Koutsobinas. She introduced herself by email and asked questions pertaining to our move. From that point forward we found ourselves involved with an expert who is attentive to her customer’s interest.
From only a limited amount of emails and phone calls, Kathy was able to zero in on the type of property that would fit our wants and needs for a place to live. She was very patient in agreeing to show us the many houses we felt were of interest to us. Kathy is an excellent representative who is hard working, humorous and above board – an expert with style. We witnessed how she dealt with other agents with professionalism and integrity. We benefited from her knowledge in all steps of our transaction. Without reservation we would highly recommend her to others and definitely request her services again.
Bob and Michele Cooke, O'Fallon, MO—Kathy Koutsobinas has been a consummate professional and has provided us with service beyond our expectations. We are seasoned movers, having purchased homes in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Arizona, California and of course Missouri, so we have had abundant experience. Kathy stands out because, from the very beginning, she took the time to listen and to understand what we wanted. Shopping for a home 2,000 miles away can be a daunting experience but Kathy made it easy. She understood our tastes to perfection. In addition to homes Kathy identified for us, she screened homes that we identified on the internet and then gave us an honest appraisal of each home’s pros and cons. She didn’t waste our time trying to “sell” us a house but she worked tirelessly to help us find a home. Ultimately, we selected the perfect home for us, but the service didn’t end there. Kathy made the buying process seamless for us, once again making the distance disappear. We couldn’t be more pleased with our new home and the service that Kathy Koutsobinas provided. We highly recommend Kathy to anyone interested in buying or listing their home.
Dave and Pat Wilhelm, Alpharetta, GA—Kathy is a true professional. She kept us informed every step of the way, taking care of all the details. We will use her for our next move.
Manjola Moja, Maryland Heights, MO--I was a first time homebuyer, and thanks to Kathy it was a speedy and pleasant experience. She facilitated the whole process by initiating many steps. I especially thank her for always picking up the phone (considering her busy schedule) answering all my questions and addressing all concerns. She provided me with all the facts, but at the same time let me make my own decisions. I still have Kathy's tel# on speed dial to recommend her to all my family and friends who need to buy a house. Thank you Kathy for all your help.
Jennifer Wargel, Chesterfield, MO--Being a first time home buyer, I had a lot of questions. Kathy was very helpful in answering all those and walking me through the steps of the process.
John and Lauri Sarafa, Old Monroe, MO—Kathy made the selling of our home an enjoyable experience. She is very professional and knowledgeable and this makes her very approachable, warm and friendly. She is always very honest with suggestions and answers. We would highly recommend Kathy to any family member or friend. Thanks to Kathy our house sold fast.
Diana Anderson, O’Fallon, MO—Kathy was a personable, professional realtor who we will highly recommend to others. She listened, answered questions, returned all calls quickly. If she didn’t know the answer, she would find out the answer. She took care of all aspects of listing, advertising and selling of our house.
