Cathy Brent was wonderful. There were a lot of issues getting my moms house ready to sell and Cathy handled everything. Cathy was kind and understanding. Cathy explained everything to me and helped me along the way. We had to sell my mom's home after she passed away and it got very emotional at times. In the end all went smooth and I felt really good about the whole process.

Kathi and Wayne took extremely good care of me as this was a very hard decision for me to make. They were so patient with my indecision and I really appreciate that. Also everything happened exactly as they said it would so I always knew what to expect. And they got me $61000 over ask what's not to love? I will recommend them every chance I get.

While initially discussing Kathi and Wayne's plan to sell my home I knew immediately they would do an excellent job which they did. They both went over and above what most realtors would do to make this transaction a total success and the communication between the three of us answering my questions and letting me know what was going on and offering suggestions and assisting with my requests was exceptional. I give both of them a top rating and have already recommended Kathi and Wayne to others and still continue go do so.

Linda was endlessly patient as my daughter thought out loud— for hours— on houses. Some houses got offers and we lost. Some didn’t get offers. Linda made us feel like viewing another house was a pleasure and not and endless chore. After 2 years, we got perfection.Linda & Cathy = the best

Kathi and Wayne are a dynamic duo from start to finish. I honestly cannot imagine how I would have gotten through the process of preparing packing moving (out-of-state) and selling without them. They listened well to my needs. They did not hesitate to disagree with me when needed. They offered sound advice from the beginning. I really feel like they "had my back". I appreciate their professionalism kindness and compassion and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who is considering selling a home in Alameda County.

We were always reassured that everything would be OK and they had our back which they always did. We will definitely refer them to our friends and family and I was so beyond thankful for everything you did for us.

Linda Neff was a key figure in the purchasing my home. She was tremdous on keeping me updated at every portion of the buying process. Additionally, she gave great suggestions and had a plethora of contacts at her discretion. To summon it up, Linda was wonderful! And would reach out for my next purchase.

Kathi and Wayne were the absolute best agents for me. This was an extremely emotional matter. They understood and handled me with kid gloves while remaining professional. There were times when I was in bed with the covers over my head when I should have been preparing the house. Times like that were when their compassion kicked in. I really really needed that. I trust them completely and would not have wanted to go through this with anyone else. Thank you so very much.

I was impress and appreciative for all Cathy did for me. She help me sell my grandma house from another state. She walked me through every detail. She was honest and didn’t prolong the process. She kept me calm by keeping me informed. Her patient and compassion went beyond my expectations. The thank God every day for allowing her to be the one to help me through this difficult process.

Kathi and Wayne turned a stressful time into a pleasant one. Selling a parent's home does not have to be stressful. Let Kathi and Wayne work on selling the house and leave me free to focus on the rest of the estate and memorial services. I look forward to one day downsizing my own home: I know the sale will be in good hands.

We feel very lucky that we ran into Kathi and Wayne in one of the open houses in Castro Valley. We didn't end up buying that specific property but kept in touch. Both Kathi and Wayne were very helpful knowledgeable of the Hayward Castro Valley San Leandro Hills area. We can't thank them enough for spending countless hours looking for a property contacting many agents in the area to find a home that would meet our expectations. They weren't pushing any house to us and wanted to ensure that we loved the house we buy. Their knowledge of not just the area but the knowledge of the houses and how they are constructed materials used and maintained was reassuring for first time home buyers like us. We highly recommend Kathi and Wayne to anyone looking to buy a house in the Castro Valley Hayward and San Leandro area. They know the neighborhoods other agents and quality of the house like no other.

Cathy Brent and her team were fantastic! She has team resources for whatever a client may need and most importantly she knows how to execute on her sales and marketing plan. We had 27 groups visit at the initial (and only) open house and we had three offers within 3 days. We cannot say enough nor more strongly recommend Cathy. We appreciate her effort in getting the job done for us.

Estate Sale - it is a difficult time when a family member passes and you need to sell their house as 'trustee'. Cathy and her team took the ball and ran with it ... they kept me informed but I did not need to be personally involved for the most part (until signing all the papers). They took care of updating the house to be 'saleable' - got a good price on the house and even after deducting the bills for updating came out to be approx what I was expecting based on similar sales in the area. Really appreciate how they handled all phases of getting it sold!

Kathi and Wayne were highly recommended by two acquaintances. They were absolutely the best choice for us and we were extremely pleased with the results. From the opening meeting in which they gathered information from us and provided us with expectations for all of the steps of the process we felt we were in very good hands. Every step along the way they gave us choices and options; we felt we made very informed decisions due to the information they provided. Timing also didn't feel rushed and they allowed us the perfect amount of time to finish some work and clean up and then the house was on the market in a very short time. We were also pleased with the cleaning crews and stagers they hired not only because their work was high quality but because they were nice people. Kathi and Wayne also stepped in to negotiate with our neighbors for retaining walls and cement work and ultimately had vendors that came in at a lower cost than others in the open market. The neighbors were pleased and we were pleased. I can't recommend Kathi and Wayne highly enough for their professionalism integrity and results.

As a first time home buyer I really appreciate Linda Neff for being patient and supportive with me during one of the most turbulent times! She was there for me every step of the way home buying process. She explained all the home inspection and terminology in a way I could understand. She provided great feedback on each open house and made me aware of issues in house disclosures. I would highly recommend Linda Neff as a real agent and would reach out to her again for my next home purchase!
