She Has Your Back
Kathy is not only a wonderful person, but she is a hard working professional who will pour herself into her work to help you through the difficult, and sometimes emotional, process of buying and selling a home! She has your back and has the interpersonal skills to work well with other agents, which goes a long way, since she is your spokesperson in business! Kathy is a super detailed person and will go above and beyond to help you through a sometimes tricky and time- consuming life event. She is more than a realtor though; she is a friend! Thank you Kathy for all your hard work and help.

Response from Kathy Young

Optimistic AND Realistic
We were SO fortunate to have Kathy as the realtor to list and sell our Mom’s house. Unlike many new, young realtors that take a listing and wait for a commission, Kathy hustled from Day 1, until after closing. She was super accurate on pricing, assisted in coordinating repairs, carpet cleaning, disposal of excess furniture, etc. She interacted with HOA and the title company, etc.. She was both optimistic AND realistic. Kathy was more than a realtor; she was a hard-working friend. A million thanks and 10 out of 10 stars. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Response from Kathy Young
Thank you so very much for the “10 Star” review. I am happy to know you were pleased with the services you received. Not too difficult to provide good services when you are working for clients, who themselves are“10 star” human beings! I so enjoyed getting to know your family. Looking forward to our paths crossing again.

I Realized That I Found My Lifetime Realtor!
Kathryn is one of a kind realtor. I‘ve never met anyone like her before and when I had a chance to work with her on selling my condo, I realized that I’ve found my lifetime realtor. Kathryn is kind-hearted person, who goes out of the way for your best interests. She has so many years of experience; so of course, she knows her stuff well. I was scared and unsure about selling my condo back in June/July of 2020 (a crazy year as everyone knows), bur somehow she managed and guided me through each step of the selling process. Kathryn worked so hard for me and she was just everything more than just a typical realtor I ask for. There are so many more to say about her but after all, I need to thank God for sending her to me.

Response from Kathy Young
What a beautiful review Tracy! It is very inspiring to me and has touched my heart! I am so GRATEFUL to have met you and your beautiful family. The sale of your home was during a very difficult time here in MI, with COVID restrictions at the highest. WE did it though! It now has a new happy owner and you are moving on toward a new milestone. It was an honor to support your real estate needs and I am looking forward to supporting them in the future. As you know, “I love HOMEwork”!

What a Joy to Work With!

What a joy to work with. Kathy recently sold our condo. Her knowledge, energy, compassion, professionalism and honesty for selling is what made our minds up to use her as our REALTOR®. We found her to be exceptionally well organized as she guided us through every step of the sale. In the future we will highly recommend her to our family and friends.

Response from Kathy Young

Thank you sooo much for this nice review. You just put a “big Smile” on my face. However, if my memory serves me right, “WE” did it! It truly was a partnership! We made a great “team’.

Fine-Turned Listening Skills

Kathryn was our Buyer’s Agent for our new home. We had some hurdles to overcome but nothing stopped Kathryn from making our dream home a reality. Kathryn goes above and beyond the work of an Agent. She always contacted the seller’s agent in advance to find out what the situation was with the houses that we were viewing (i.e., details of house, price negotiating possibilities, info. on the neighborhood etc.). She made us feel as if we were her only clients. Through her fine tuned listening skills, she takes her work very seriously to find exactly the house features that you are looking for. She does a phenomenal job networking to get the very best house, and price that met our needs. She is a very honest, open, and caring person who completely enjoys her job. No time is off the charts when situations or questions arise. I would highly recommend Kathryn because she is such a hard working, and sincere agent who truly is a pleasure to work with.

Response from Kathy Young

Thanks Paul and Theresa for taking time to share this. We did have a journey, didn’t we! I am grateful you choose me to walk the path with you as you achieved your goal of finding that right home. You were both incredible to work with and for.

Lakefront – White Lake $522,000
Patch, Buyer

Has The Needs Of Her Clients As Her Upmost Interest

Kathy worked with us for about a year before we found out lake house. We knew pretty much what we were looking for, but needed to explore areas. We started out in 2018. Kathy sent us listings of houses in various lakes in southeast Michigan, as well as, many trips out to see areas and examples of what was out there. Kathy spent a lot of time with us. After many months and slowing down house hunting process to “winter over”, we started looking in earnest again in early spring of 2019. First, she found us what we thought was the perfect lake house, but the deal fell through because of a fickle seller and no fault of her own. She persevered and actually found us a better place on a large lake and a house/cabin that worked great for our family. Kathy has the needs of her clients as her utmost interest. You will be happy to let Kathy either find you your next home or sell your home for you.

Response from Kathy Young

What an awesome recap of our lakefront house hunting experience. We did travel to many southeast MI lakes; that’s for certain. It’s called becoming an “informed lakefront property buyer” huh! I do appreciate such a thoughtful and complete review. I often think of you and yours enjoying the beautiful view and those good times in your “newly acquired pontoon”.

Co-op – Brighton: $70,000

Well Versed in Unique Requirements of Co-Op Sales

I first contacted Kathy Young in late November of 2018 when I decided to sell a property I owned with my sister in Brighton Michigan. My sister had passed away in August of 2017. I had been working contract jobs in Florida off and on for several years then a job in Florida turned into permanent position. The property my sister and I owned was a co-op unit – like a condo but with a different ownership structure. There were several unique requirements related to the sale of a co-op unit that I was completely ignorant of. Fortunately for me Kathy was well versed in the sale of this type of property. Working in Florida made it a challenge for prepping the unit for sale as I was not there in person to coordinate the work of the contractors I used to get the unit in top condition. Kathy located qualified reputable contractors for me and worked as my local point of contact in coordinating/supervising the work. All the work performed was very professionally done with one exception. The company that was hired to deep-clean the kitchen and bath areas of the home did substandard work. Kathy stopped in to look at the work that was done and immediately contacted me to let me know she was unsatisfied with the job done. At that time I was coming home to Michigan for the Christmas holiday and to finalize the efforts to get the property on the market. I was shocked when I arrived home to have Kathy stop in at my unit with her own cleaning supplies to redo the kitchen and bath areas. When she had finished scrubbing everything looked great – talk about above and beyond the call of duty. Kathy was a pleasure to work with during the entire process of prepping and selling my co-op unit and I will gladly check back with her when I return to Michigan to look for a summer home when I retire in a couple of years. Thanks Kathy – you really stand by your motto of loving HOMEwork!”

Response from Kathy Young

Bob, what a lovely review! Thank you for taking the time and for such a generous evaluation. I enjoyed the partnership we shared as we prepared the unit for the home sales market, especially under such circumstances. It was a real honor to work with a client that exercised such a commitment for ensuring a good outcome, and a good outcome it was! Looking forward to serving you and yours in the future.

I Immediately Felt I Had Met an Agent That Cared About Her Job & Clients

I met Kathy through a mutual friend. On our first meeting, I immediately felt that I had met an agent that cared about her job and clients. Kathy is professional, efficient and caring. She gave me tips on de-cluttering and getting my home ready to go on the market. It sold to the first person that looked at it. I wanted to downsize and Kathy listened to what I wanted in my new home and location. I actually purchased the first home I looked at. We looked at several others for comparison but I was happy with that first choice. Not only did I have a positive experience with finding my new forever home, I made an awesome friend.

Response from Kathy Young

Toni, thanks for this impressive review but I have one for you too. “YOU DID IT!” Downsizing has it challenges but you met them one by one. It was so good to walk that walk with you. And yes, this realtor adds to her friend list along the way…and you are proof of that.

Had Our Best Interest at Heart

Working with Kathy Young was a pleasure. She had so much enthusiasm about selling our home. We felt right from the start that she had our best interests at heart. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the Woodruff Lake Co-op in Brighton. This is very important when selling in this Co-op, because of the rules and regulations that this co-op must adhere to. We put our home on the market on a Monday and on Wednesday it was sold. She negotiated with the buyer to give us more time to move out, because we did not expect it to sell so quickly. Kathy even brought us boxes for our move. We were very much impressed with her professionalism and responsiveness to any of our concerns. Thank you, Kathy.

Response from Kathy Young

Thank you so very, very much for such a positive review. I really appreciate your stated confidence in me. Must add however that selling your home/unit was a real partnership. Your collaborative efforts made the sale and closing process more effective. I look forward to a continued relationship. My Warm Regards.

Kept Us Informed Throughout the Process

Kathryn explained all phases of selling a home and kept us informed throughout the process. She exhibited a professional demeanor, but at the same time a personal interest in us. Would definitely use her again.

Never Takes Shortcuts and Always Follows Through

Kathryn’s perseverance in finding us a home to love was invaluable and working very hard in executing a buyer for our existing home. She is a very remarkable individual in that she senses your wants and needs and does her best to ensure that special home for her clients. You’ll begin to feel as if you’re a part of her inner circle. Kathryn is not only our realtor now, but has become our good friend. She never takes shortcuts and always follows through when others have fallen short of their responsibilities and expectations for their clients. She comes through every single time, very impressive! We recommend her highly!

Response from Kathy Young

Sally, thank you! It was such a wonderful experience supporting you and Jon in finding a home for you and yours here in Livingston and partnering with you on getting the best price in the shortest time on your family home in Commerce. Very importantly, I made new friends along the way and so happy I did.
