Testimonials

WORKING WITH KATE during this challenging housing market era made all the difference in our ability to maintain our optimism and to have a successful outcome. Because of her professional, expert help, we easily managed the house hunter phase of our sale, identified a buyer, and effortlessly consummated the deal. From screening potential buyers to ensure they were financially qualified and genuinely interested, to communicating with us every step of the way, Kate made the journey a turn-key experience and for that we will always be grateful.   Richard & Lisa Coico, Philadelphia, PA

WHEN MY WIFE Cris and I decided to put our house on the market and at the same time find a new home for our family, we literally didn't know where to begin. The task of selling one house and buying another with a window of only a few months was daunting to say the least.

From our first meeting with Kate, all this suddenly seemed possible. She guided us through the entire process, from what we needed to do to get the house ready for sale as well as to ensure we got the best price. I remember her saying she felt our house would sell quickly and for full price. I was really not sure if I believed her, given the state of the market that we hear about all the time!

About four days after the house was put on the market, Kate called us up with a full price offer. I was beside myself! Of course, this left us with a real problem: we needed to find a house soon or be homeless come closing day. Kate took the time to really understand what it was that our family valued in a home, was constantly looking for something to fit the bill, and always responsive to our needs and questions. We found our new home with time to spare! We couldn't be happier about our new home!

Kate was professional, always had our interests in mind, and tireless in her work. We could not have imagined a better experience. She made what could have been one of the most stressful periods of our lives much easier--and even a little fun! It is with profound gratitude that I write this today. Thank you, Kate, for making this possible. I really believe that there is no one better for those looking to buy or sell a home.  Chuck & Cris Donovan, Ithaca, NY

KATE DID A FANTASTIC job understanding, in a deep sense, both what we wanted and what we needed in a house, and she found a fabulous place for us! She also really helped us understand what was reasonable to expect in terms of what we could get for the amount we had to spend. Kate was very friendly, easy to talk to, and made herself available for us many times at very short notice when we had to make quick decisions about our house-buying process. She clearly knows the real estate business top to bottom. We cannot recommend her highly enough!"   George Dillman & Beth Cohen, Ithaca, NY, 607-273-2825

WHEN MY WIFE AND I took the plunge and bought our first home, nothing could have prepared us for the excitement, nervousness and mountain of details that stood before us. Except Kate. Unknown clients with no idea what we were looking for, Kate took us in hand and deftly helped us identify what we wanted and needed. She pointed out pitfalls and boosted our confidence. She was there for us with inexhaustible enthusiasm, and it paid off. A home of our own, a place to start our family.

When we decided to move on to a bigger home and new experiences, Kate was there for us again. This time as sellers and as buyers, we discovered a whole new mountain of little details and things to think about. From setting up our living room to show off its charms the best, to details of color and presentation, Kate helped us to find new people to love our first home, and put us in the dream home we've always wanted.

Any time a friend or associate asks about Realtors, I cannot say ‘Kate Seaman' fast enough. A professional with heart. . . an ally with an eye for a good deal and a great decor. With Kate as your agent, people and the details that make a house a home, really DO count."   Greg & Petra, Harford, NY, 607-844-4474

THE PROSPECT OF SELLING an existing home and buying another one is daunting under the best of circumstances. Last year, Kate Seaman of Warren Homes assisted me in just such an undertaking. Her knowledge of the Trumansburg housing market, her ability to connect interested parties together, and her commitment to making a stressful process as streamlined and efficient as possible, made all of the difference to me. Having worked with other realtors, I found her to be a guide in whom I had complete confidence. I would recommend Kate without hesitation and intend, should I need to move again in the future, to have her as my realtor."   Ellen Staurowsky, Trumansburg, NY, 607-274-1730

KATE HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY fantastic in guiding us through the whole home buying process. From helping us prepare our own home for selling to working with other realtors, banks and lawyers, we always felt that we could rely on Kate 100%. She has been very patient with us and our thousands of questions. Due to Kate's meticulous personal style and professional expertise this whole process was a very pleasant experience. We have truly found our realtor for life!"   Zoe & Steve Beeusaert, Trumansburg, NY, 607-387-7182

AFTER A FEW LACKLUSTER meetings with other realtors in town, my husband and I had a refreshing and energizing discussion with Kate. We were comfortable asking her questions, and learned that her answers would be honest and personal. Kate kept us on track with what we wanted and diligently searched for the perfect house for us. When we finally found our home and our offer was accepted, Kate called us from her vacation-- now that is commitment! If ever we leave our home (which is unlikely because it is perfect!), we will ask that Kate help us through that process."    Ruth and Scott Doyle, Ithaca, NY, 607-342-3520
