"Katie was amazing. She paid attention to our needs and expectations. For first time homebuyers for my wife and I she was so helpful. With her knowledge she was able to steer us in a direction we didn’t think we could do and she was so courteous. She made what normally can be a stressful time a very easy going and very pleasant experience. My wife and I truly enjoyed working with her! We tell everyone about her and hands down would contact her again!
Katie was VERY prompt with all paperwork and documents that needed to be updated or just signed in general.
Again Katie was amazing to work with. She was always available for any questions we had. Any concerns she had she was so understanding and explained our concerns in detail so we knew what to expect and what we should do to move forward."

"Katie Tester was recommended to us by Joel at Credit Union One. Katie was extremely attentive and available to answer all of my questions and concerns regarding the house buying process. I was impressed with her quick response time whenever I contacted her regarding new listings. Within a week, we had submitted an offer on our now forever home. I will definitely be recommending Katie to friends and family for all their real estate needs."

"Katie contacted us within hours of the listing going live, which ultimately is why and how we were able to purchase the property. She was very accessible and extremely timely during the process of our purchase. We were dealing with an unresponsive seller and during the process, Katie was very persistent and kept us informed of the status at every turn, which we were grateful for."

"Katie has helped us with 3 transactions over the last 3 years. It is amazing that all 3 have involved difficult parties on the other end. We have dealt with poor lending brokers, non-approachable sellers and unresponsive buyers. Katie help us through each step of the way and helped us keep a level head even when it would have been easier to throw in the towel, she kept our best interest in mind. It is nice to have a voice of reason involved in the transaction when it gets emotional. It Katie would not have been our agent we would not have been able to push through and get the property we so desperately wanted.
I would recommend working with Katie to buy or sell your property because she is a real person that has dealt with these situations before and treats you like a real person, not just a commission check like so many others do."

"It truly was an arrangement made by God from the time I was ready to list a home to actually selling that home after multiple mishaps w/buyers to finally deciding to stay in TC only because the ideal home just appeared. Katie walked me through it all w/grace and kindness and great professional expertise.
Katie Tester is a thorough expert in the world of real estate. She will not confuse a client or abandon them."

"Absolutely fantastic agent patient knowlegible learned what we wanted and tailored possibilities accordingly, Katie worked hard for us and answered all of our questions, while making sure our concerns were taken care of. We could not have had a better advocate and friend in this process. When purchasing a home, being able to trust the person working with you is vital. Katie always goes over and above in all she does to help. We very much appreciated her diligence, professionalism, expertise and many kindnesses. First class agent but better yet a first class person.
All of the above...
Best experience we have had purchasing a home
Got us together with inspector...appreciated as we are out of area. Closing very smooth. Negotiated a fair deal...very much attention to detail and a great knowledge of the area, market and possibilities available."
