"We were very fortunate enough to work with Katrina twice. She helped us buy our first home in Mill Valley a few years ago and then sell it just recently. Selling a house during COVID had challenges for everyone, but Katrina was on it and professional, explaining all of the requirements whenever they changed, made sure everyone felt safe, answered our questions promptly, and followed up with outside vendors if needed. She went the extra mile to help reduce any stress we had when moving out of the property. We’re not sure she ever takes a break! Katrina knows the Mill Valley market and what is needed to get a house bought or sold. She was respectful and polite if we questioned her suggestions…and honestly, she always ended up being right! We enjoyed working with Katrina during our time in Mill Valley and would recommend her for anyone buying or selling a house.

“I have had the pleasure of working with Katrina twice now - once as a buyer and most recently as my listing agent. Katrina is exactly what you would want in an agent: professional, detail-oriented, and caring. Once you've aligned on strategy and timeline, she works tirelessly to get the job done. This included preparing my house for sale, coordinating with many of the subcontractors and stagers. Katrina even went above the call of duty and did some of the work herself. Her drive to put my home on the market ahead of the spring curve paid off: thanks to her relationships with other agents and experience, we got multiple offers after only five days on the market and closed in 21 days! Timing was critical as the coronavirus shelter in place guidance followed the next weekend and impacted subsequent sales. Throughout even unprecedented obstacles, Katrina remained calm and confident.”  

 — Kristin A.

“There’s not enough space to say all the great things about Katrina and working with her as our real estate agent. She worked extremely hard to accommodate our timeline for the sale of our house, advised us correctly as to the time to bring it to market, and helped provide resources for preparing the house for sale. Her advice about the Mill Valley housing market was invaluable. She is flexible, punctual, smart and fun to work with. She also did a great job marketing our house. In the end, we closed thirty days after our first open house at over asking.”

— Rebecca Rossner

“We have had the pleasure of working with Katrina twice on selling a home. Katrina is exactly what you would want in an agent. Fair, professional and timely. She is full of resources and works tirelessly to get the job done. We got 7 offers and closed in 14 days. Clearly she knows what she is doing!”

— Lindsey Atnip

"I wasn’t planning on buying a house. Having just sold my long time home with Katrina’s help to great success, the plan was to rent for a while and get the lay of the land. Well, plans change! I saw a charming home in a new community that fit my new lifestyle. We had to move quickly as this home was getting a lot of attention from other interested buyers. Katrina used her resources, connections with other agents and experience to help me craft an offer that was very complete. In an extremely competitive environment, our offer prevailed over the 15 other offers to be the one accepted! Throughout the nerve wracking process, she was consistent and steady. She was also detailed oriented in suggesting and arranging inspections and she went to the mat for me when there were some last minutes surprises just before the transaction closed. She continues to be helpful in suggesting resources for me as I begin to make improvements to my new home. I would recommend Katrina to anyone looking to buy or sell in Marin."

— Sandy B.

"Katrina was our listing agent on the sale of our home in Ross and she was not only very competent, knowledgeable, and organized, she was a lifesaver during the process of preparing our house for sale with some cosmetic improvements, staging, etc. She coordinated with many of the subcontractors and helped us a tremendous amount with much of the work herself, which was way above and beyond the call of duty. She is a very kind and caring real estate professional."

— Geoff B.

"Buying a home from 3000 miles away requires some degree of trust. Recently we bought a second home in Mill Valley and enlisted the help of Katrina Kehl on recommendation from a colleague on the East Coast. Katrina jumped into the transaction quickly and was able to structure a below market offer that was accepted in a very competitive market. She coordinated a variety of inspections for the home, clearly communicated the results of each and recommended resources to remedy action items. She was detail oriented throughout the transaction. We were delighted with how everything worked out and would recommend Katrina to anyone thinking to buy or sell in Marin.”

— Matt Gaughan

"Moving to Marin from San Francisco was a big change. Finding the right home for our family in a competitive real estate market was challenging. Katrina truly listened to us and was able to find an off market opportunity that met our requirements. We structured an offer that allowed us to skip the competitive process and get us the home we wanted. From beginning to close of escrow and beyond, Katrina had our back!"

— Ty and Renee

"Quite simply - we would not have bought our house if it hadn’t been for Katrina’s extraordinary help. As first time buyers in America, we were rather intimidated and unfamiliar with the process. From assistance in securing a solid mortgage to having ‘all our ducks in a row’ so that we were ready to offer, Katrina ensured we were on the right track at all times. We managed to buy a house when there was very little inventory in Mill Valley in our price range and that was, without a doubt thanks to her excellent guidance. We were also incredibly impressed with her aftercare support, facilitating contact with contractors and checking in with us on a daily basis for any questions we might have. On top of all of that, Katrina is lovely - friendly, intelligent, patient and a delight to work with. We’ve not only bought a house but also made a new friend!"

— Derek and Iona Scobie

"We could not recommend Katrina more. She was exactly who we wanted in our corner during this process: knowledgeable, creative when it comes to finding what works best for her clients, and a great advocate. We were really happy with the entire process of looking for a home with her in Mill Valley/Corte Madera."

— Anna and Dan

"Katrina is the consummate professional. I could not have gone through the daunting process of buying a first house in the Bay Area without her. From the beginning, she seemed to “get” exactly what I wanted in a house and was persistent in pursuing options until we found the right one. In the flurry of bidding, counter-offers, and close, her professionalism and calm explanations of the steps comforted me; I came to rely on her recommendations. She has knack for strategy and building good relationships with other agents, which really helps give you a leg-up in the negotiations. Given her years in the business, Katrina knows all the players and was always two steps ahead in scheduling inspections, calling the right people, and following through on all the details to close. I experienced firsthand how much she values her clients and highly recommend her for friends, family... anyone who’s looking for their next home!"

— Kristin Austin

"Katrina was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the entire buying process. She is professional, knowledgeable and very trustworthy. We have purchased homes in the past, and Katrina was, hands down, the best realtor we’ve worked with ever. We would highly recommend Katrina!"

— Jerome and Alice Stewart

"Katrina Kehl is a fantastic realtor. She is very knowledgeable about the Mill Valley/Corte Madera/Ross area and Marin in general. She has excellent relationships with other relators. This made a difference in purchasing our dream home. There was competition for the home and her relationships and understanding of the market ensured we got our home at fair price. She was very attentive and worked with us at our pace. Katrina was always suggesting new homes for us to look at and went with us to many openings. We can't recommend Katrina highly enough. A friend recommended her to us and we will be forever grateful.”

— Brian Miller and Elizabeth Marlow

“I have known Katrina Kehl for 12 years through our kids’ school and admired her hard work both professionally and on a volunteer basis for many years ... Finally, I had the opportunity to choose her as my real estate agent and I’m so pleased I did; she represent me in a very complicated and LONG process of selling our house. Katrina handled it so professionally and kept us motivated and did things above and beyond any realtor I’ve ever met. I trust her and respect her and would highly recommend her to any and everyone.

— A. Hyde

"Buying a home is a crazy process. Buying a home in Mill Valley is especially challenging as there are so many nuances that a newcomer could never possibly understand. Katrina is not only an amazing real estate guru but she is also insanely knowledgeable about all the intricacies of Mill Valley real estate and living. She is self driven, organized and makes things happen before you even know that they needed to happen. We found Katrina really helpful and super easy to work with. I could not imagine having found someone better to make such a daunting process seem so easy.

— Chad and Shauna Richards

"I work in commercial real estate finance, and it was important to me that my residential broker was highly professional, intelligent, and results-oriented. A colleague introduced me to Katrina and I could not have been happier. Katrina took the time to get to know me and my needs for my next living situation, she spent many countless hours looking at properties with me, she apprised me of properties she thought I would like and took me to see them before the open houses, and never made me feel pressured to rush into a decision regarding the houses I did end up making offers on. In the end, Katrina spent nearly a year guiding me through the residential market, with unfailing grace, professionalism and knowledge of the local market. I would recommend Katrina to anyone looking for a consummate professional!"

— Sarah Perez

“Our family had been searching for the perfect home in Mill Valley for several years prior to meeting Katrina. When we described our ideal home to her, she immediately honed in on homes matching our description. We were impressed by her great listening skills, professionalism and intuition. In a very competitive real estate market, Katrina was able to show us an opportunity that had been overlooked by many and which met our exacting needs. When a prior offer for the house fell through, she helped us structure the winning offer. She is thoughtful, tenacious and creative, great at communicating and setting realistic expectations, and always advocated for our best interests while following up on myriad details and inspections. We are so excited to be in our new home and neighborhood, and also grateful to know Katrina, who beyond all of her skills in real estate is a genuinely wonderful person; she is an active contributor to this community (through her involvement in Kiddo and the Mill Valley Public Library) and went above and beyond to introduce us to neighbors and organizations that will further enrich us and our children.”

— Kim and Steve Nelson

"We have never truly understood the value of a buyer’s agent until our recent experience with Katrina in the super hot Mill Valley market. This was the fifth time we have bought a home, but it was the first time we ever bought one in a seller’s market. Oh boy, what a difference that makes! It took us six months to find our home and Katrina was an absolute rock. We toured over 40 houses before we found our perfect home and she was by our side through all of it. Additionally, once we did find our dream home, Katrina’s advice and insight on pricing was invaluable. She knew exactly what we needed to do to submit a winning bid and we can’t thank her enough for everything."

— The Wiley Family

"Katrina served as our buyer’s agent for the purchase a single family home in Mill Valley in April 2015. Right off the bat, we were impressed by her knowledge of the local market and strategy for navigating the bidding process. Despite the challenges of a booming housing market with a shortage of available properties, Katrina was able to help us find a beautiful home that fit our family needs perfectly. She helped us streamline our offer, financing, inspections, and removal of contingencies. We are indebted to her for helping get our offer accepted in a very competitive market amongst multiple buyers.Katrina’s greatest qualities are her incredible attention to detail, her patience with the process, and her dedication to every aspect of the home buying process from the first open house to closing escrow and beyond. We continue to consider her as a friend and trusted resource. We wholehearted recommend Katrina for future buyers or sellers.”

— Sagar and Rachna

"After coming to a new market and state, I was relieved by Katrina’s ability to answer my questions about the new legal and local concerns as well as to explain the unique real estate documents and steps in the transactions. She produced answers and documents ahead of schedule, which gave me ample time to make decisions.
One’s temperament and receptiveness to others is as important to me as a professional assessment. Katrina remained a consistent discerning partner and effective listener through the entire home buying process. I quickly realized that her kindness, empathy and reliability are inherent and that made working with her gratifying and uncomplicated.
Thank you for making a big life change such an enjoyable journey!"

— Sara Robinson

"My wife tells me that I have unrealistic expectations. In this instance my expectations were exceeded. From the start I had several real estate agents in Mill Valley recommended to me when I was starting my search and moving to Marin from the East Coast. Within a very short period of time I chose Katrina because of her tireless efforts, personable service and knowledge of the markets and communities. In a severely constricted real-estate market for buyers, she was able to find our family the right house, in the right community, within our budget in the timeframe we needed to transition our children for the upcoming school year. Her follow-up and clear communication helped us through a very stressful process bringing order to a chaotic process and managing expectation along the way. I would strongly recommend Katrina to my friends and anyone looking for a successful outcome in a real estate transaction in Marin and elsewhere."

— The Montenecourt Family

"Thanks to Katrina, our listing stood out above all the other properties on the market. She understood our needs and our definition of a successful outcome. Katrina kept both parties on track to get the sale price we wanted in the timeframe we needed."

— Lindsey and Aaron Atnip

"My wife and I hadn’t purchased a home prior to working with Katrina. And what should have been a very stressful experience wasn’t that way at all. Everything from negotiating an offer to closing on the home went seamlessly. She was seemingly always available and unbelievably responsive. I can’t imagine the whole process having gone smoother."

— Mike and Katherine Napier

"We have bought and sold several houses in the past, so we know that the quality level of the real estate professionals you work with can vary. With Kathleen and Katrina, we felt like we were working with the best. Our house was not among the most expensive Marin County properties, but we always felt like valued customers. We would not hesitate to work with them again, or to recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell property in the area."

— Larry Vawter and Dan Blythe

"We recently had the pleasure of working with Kathleen Clifford and Katrina Kehl when we decided to put our house in San Rafael on the market this past February. We first met Kathleen several years ago at an open house she was giving for a neighbor, and were impressed with both her professionalism and her friendly personality. Since then, she has shown us several houses and always provides a thorough and articulate description of each property. When we decided this year to sell our existing house and rent for a year while we decide next steps, Kathleen is the person we called to handle the sale. She brought Katrina Kehl with her to meet us, and I must say they make an excellent team. Both of them have very high standards when it comes to the quality of service they provide to their customers, and their work ethic is outstanding. From the first meeting, we all understood our roles in preparing for the sale and the strategy we used worked because we had our accepted offer the day after our first public open house. We closed escrow a little over a week ago, and are settling in at our rented house in Bel Marin Keys."

— Larry Vawter and Dan Blythe

"We were very pleased with Katrina's knowledge and expertise. She got to know us well and knew what we were looking for within our budget. She knew the neighborhoods well and was honest with her recommendations and suggestions. We were first time home buyers and she walked us through the process(with lots of patience!) so everything was clear. She always answered our questions right away. We would definitely recommend working with her. Katrina works very hard, knows the community, is very friendly and easy to communicate with, and appears to really enjoy her work."

— Jason Deppong and Corinne Custodio

"We are investors who live out of the area. Katrina was able to work with contractors and stagers to prepare our property for sale and bring the home to market within a short period of time. She clearly and consistently communicated with us every step of the way. She was able to orchestrate a competitive bidding process where we got 4 offers and sold our home 11% over asking price in under 2 weeks!"

— BV Properties

"Katrina did a wonderful job helping our family buy a home in Mill Valley. She counseled us about the right way to make the offer, effectively worked with the selling agent to present our offer in the best possible light, and provided flawless follow-through on all the closing details. We couldn’t have been happier with her service."

— David and Sylvia Dobbs

"Katrina was our principal broker ‎in our recent acquisition of a single family house in southern Marin. She was patient, responsive, persevering and nicely handled what was a relatively challenging process due to some seller issues. We ultimately got our dream house. She was caring and attentive throughout the process. This continues even after we closed escrow. She’s introduced us to neighbors and others than can help in our transition to the new house and area."

— Frank and Sally

"11 offers and we won! Katrina helped us orchestrate the winning bid on our home in Mill Valley, beating out 10 other suitors. She listened to the Seller’s and our needs and structured the deal in such a way, both with price with non-price factors that they just couldn’t say no. And since we are overseas, she handled inspections and competitive bids for work post-move-in. She has anticipated each action every step of the way. She gets the job done and done well. Did I say ‘radar’?"

— Brad & LaiFan West

"We had a fantastic experience selling our house with Katrina Kehl. I couldn’t recommend her enough. Honestly, her familiarity with the local market along with her real estate expertise provided us with a sense of comfort and confidence. Her thoughtful and creative approach to marketing was just the right thing to showcase the unique features of our home. We received top dollar for our house and felt really guided and cared for by Katrina throughout the whole process."

— Chris and Betsy Bowden

"Without Katrina’s tireless follow-ups and attention to detail, we would not have been able to develop the confidence necessary to enter our above-asking price bid within a week of learning about this property. We are cautious investors, and developing comfort with the property required Katrina to move on short notice. Despite a 13 hour time difference with Singapore, Katrina was available real time up to 1:00 a.m. her time weekdays and weekends. Though we hadn’t asked her to do so, she commissioned an inspection from a pest control company just to be on the safe side. Katrina demonstrates relentless attention to detail, and replies extremely quickly to queries and comments. Katrina even offered an insight into the psychology of the seller which enabled us to position our bid in such a way that our packaged offering was selected out of 11 offers."

— Brad and LaiFan West

"During a very hectic time, Katrina completely handled all aspects of our sale, managing various vendors and dealing with some unexpected issues with aplomb. We can’t recommend her enough. She made our transition smooth and easy."

— Al and Diana

"Katrina came highly recommended as a ‘down-to-earth’ agent who would understand what our family was looking for—and she completely delivered. In this tight market, she was open-minded about different kinds of properties that might work for us, and ready to respond to all of my new thoughts and ideas. Her support with all aspects of the process, from mortgage brokers to offer letters, was amazing! We got our house with our very first bid."
