"I could go on and on but I don't want to others the misunderstand how much I appreciated Katie's amazing efforts. I had a very challenging time with my house through the previous real estate organization in the Tidewater area. I had sleepless nights in Oklahoma because of what they allowed a previous renter to do to my house that caused more than $30,000.00 damage and they would not spend a penny in support to fixing it when it was obvious they did not represent the requirements of our property management contract. I had more challenges with their sales agents in their being dysfunctional and providing excuses rather than solutions in order to not being able to sell my home for too many years. It was a very hard lesson for me but why should it have been that way?
In just a matter of a few phone calls, one person-to-person meeting in your office and her true representation of what a real estate agent should be Ms Katie Sylstra exceeded all of my expectations and became a person I could trust with my best interests in selling my home. Her professionalism and personal attention to detail is highly commendable. I feel truly blessed for us to have shared the time we did over the phone, exchanging communications and always staying on point in selling my home.
I will forever be grateful for Ms Katie Sylstra and I wish all the best in her future endeavors. She is an amazing woman and am very proud to call her my friend! Thank You Katie Sylstra!!!"

"I have purchased and sold 5 homes over 20 years in several states. I have used over 10 real estate agents. I fired two prior to hiring Katie. I must say that Katie is by far the best realator I have ever worked with. She is honest, knowledgeable, dedicated, and truly cares about the customer. The vast majority of realtors care about the listing and that is all because they will make money just for the listing. Words alone will never express my grattitide to Katie. I will always tell me friends about her and if I am ever in the market to sell or purchase she is the only person I will trust. Too many realtors are like car sales people but not Katie!
Outstanding in every way!!
A vast majority of other realtor's can take some lessons from Katie! She is amazing!

"We loved working with Katie. Although we had strong opinions about everything including photos, sales price etc., we listened to Katie's recommendations and she was so right! We received more for our home than we ever thought possible! She advised about what repairs and improvements we should make long before we ever put the house on the market. She chose the selling price and had amazing professional photographs taken. She even decorated our house with additional touches in areas we had over looked, which contributed to the appeal of our photos and kept our listing in the #1 spot in our category until it sold in only 11 days. She even calmed me in the midst of many rants and hysterical outbursts. Katie handled all interaction with buyers, agents, appraisers, inspectors, contractors etc. We never had to miss work to handle anything on our own unless we chose to. This is our 3rd transaction with Katie and we are planning many more."

"Katie took the fear out of us buying and selling a home at the same time. My wife and I had a ton of questions along the way and her knowledge and confidence put our minds at ease time and again. She's incredibly patient and professional. Her online marketing and beautiful staging of our home helped find a buyer within the first few days of listing! You could tell she loves what she does. And when you find an agent like that, you're golden. Thanks Katie!"

"Katie was an exceptional realtor throughout the rehab process and sale of our property. She is an amazing communicator and negotiator and went way above and beyond to facilitate the sale of our house in a timely manner. Katie is a great problem solver and a “can do” person-all with a smile on her face. I would highly recommend Katie Sylstra to family, friend, and business associates."

"Saw a listing Katie Sylstra had on Realtor.com and contacted her. Very prompt in answering questions. Friendly, professional and seemed to understand my needs! We stayed in touch for about a year before I finally was able to close on a condo. During this time period, I retired, sold my home in North Carolina, and faced a pretty bleak market. Katie was there every step of the way!"

"Katie did a fantastic job. I could not have asked for anyone better to have handled this sale. She gave me her complete attention. She called me regularly and was always accessible by phone. If there is anything she can improve on it would be that she does more than a realtor should do to make the sale happen. I caught her shampooing the carpet herself one night. The buyers agent was a challenge and Katie maintained an extreme amount of patience and professionalism dealing with her. She was very accommodating to each of us, doing everything she could to make sure my house closed. I would say she is the best agent I have ever dealt with and I have dealt with many over the years. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone buying or selling a house."

"Katie Sylstra is the best realtor that we have ever had. The process of buying/selling our house was very overwhelming, but Katie's professional knowledge and expertise immediately put us at ease. She made everything so easy. She went out of her way to help us feel comfortable and to help us sell our house. She helped us stage the house, arranged for professional photography, created the perfect listing, listened to all of our concerns, and was available at all hours to answer questions. She was there to help us and give us advise through the entire process. She even met with the termite inspector and went under the house into the crawl space with him in order to better understand what was happening with that situation. I could go on and on about how caring, professional, and helpful Katie was with us. She is truly amazing at her job and she is the only realtor that I will use from now on."

"The day that Kathleen and I met for the first time I knew she'd be the one to help my husband and I out. The first impression of someone makes a huge difference, and she gave that great 10 rating first impression.
The above ratings speak for themselves.
Do not know this gentlemen personally, but he worked a hard bargain in the beginning and however decided to work with us. It is taken him awhile to come get the for sale sign now that the property is ours, and has not come and taken the door lock off the knob yet as of today's date 10/06/2016.
Thanks to Kathleen and Shaun Reinheimer who was our lender
Kathleen was not only our agent, but we made a friend in her. She was always on top of anything and everything we needed from her to make this sell go as smoothly as possible. She works very hard and has everyone's best interest at heart. She is an over-all good agent and person."

"Thank you Katie Sylstra ❤️ If anyone is looking to buy, sell or both- call Katie! I see all her listings and past sells and all along I thought we were her only clients! The attention and care we were given I had no idea how Katie had time for any other clients ❤️ Highly recommend Katie to anyone and everyone! True Story:My husband and I work not so common hours and one night Katie met me at a home for me to see and I had been working in mud up to my knees- Katie brought me warm wet wash cloths, dry towels & clean shoes to wear as I was concerned that I would not be able to walk through the home ❤️ These loving and thoughtful acts are only a small scale of what an amazing person Katie is- her honesty and straightforward business skills are outstanding as we were selling our home and buying our new home - thank you so very much for everything Katie❤️

Katie also walked me through every aspect of buying my home and always explained things when I didn't understand. I will always recommend Katie to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home, she is the best and cares about her clients. I can't say enough great things about my experience with Katie!!!"

"Katie went above even my expectations in getting the house shown. I will never forget seeing her pick a weed out of one of my flower beds before a showing. She answer my, sometimes annoying, texts any day at any time. I have dealt with some of the, "professionals" in the area, the ones with radio shows and Katie was better than all of them put together.
Katie Sylstra is simply the best, better than all the rest."
