Every Home Has A Story,
We Would Love To Tell Yours...
They are as vast and varied as the world is wide. But they all start with inspiration, and inspiration starts with our surroundings. That’s what home is. Family. Friends. A sense of place. An amazing view. It is all part of what makes a space a home because your home is where you truly live. As a leading real estate agent, I understand that your best life begins with a home that inspires you.

Brochures
The difference between average and extraordinary is found in the details.
Brochures are impactful, full of color and details and loaded with amazing photos showing of your homes interior and exterior excellence. Made of card stock art paper and matched with striking graphics your home is guaranteed to stand out against the crowd.
Ordinary flyers aren’t even guaranteed when listing with others. Your home deserves more. Flyers are cheap, wasteful and often NOT FOUND. Whereas we take the time to create an extraordinary brochure that will be filled with professional photos of the interior and exterior of your home. Each home has a story to be told and through graphic art and photos we strive to share your homes story to the next potential owner(s).

We measure our influence in the thousands each week. We track our results and deliver winning numbers back to you. In today’s competitive environment, social media is a game-changer. It is not uncommon for the buyer to come directly as a result of having found the story of your home online.

TESTIMONIALS
What People Says?
Response: from the owner6 months ago Thank you so much Upendra for the wonderful endorsement. Working with and helping your beautiful family find the perfect home was special. Truly a pleasure and getting to know you and Sweta was the best part. I'm always here to help with any real estate needs.
It took us a year to do the necessary work in advance of the actual listing and Kathi hung in there with us the whole time. We met with her early on and relied on her advice along the way in terms of what work to do, to what extent and similar concerns. As we made our way through the early days of the Covid-19 restrictions Kathi assured us we’d be able to continue and she was right. A few months later when we were ready to list Kathi was ready to get to work doing the necessary research and recommending a price range. The home sold quickly, at a good price and under good terms so, obviously, we’re very happy with the result.
Additionally, because our family has a longstanding personal relationship with Shriners Hospital for Children - Northern California we were very happy that Kathi supports the hospital by donating a portion of her commission through the Realtors Who Shrine group. I’m not sure how commonly agents donate a portion of their commission to anyone but in this case we’re very glad to be a part of it. I’m happy to recommend Kathi to anyone considering buying or selling a home.
