"Pond Team at Compass, Encinitas, CA surely did the job for us. Katie Pond (our agent) was an extreme pleasure to work with. Having to sell my mother's… house for the changing seasons of her life was a very difficult and emotional task to undertake. I had no idea where to start, so I looked up the top realtors in North County San Diego area and came across the Pond Team. From my first contact with Katie Pond, she was very patient and understanding of my family's objectives. She took the time to listen to my concerns, heard me out when fighting back my emotions and has now proved her commitment and care for MY needs. The pace of getting our house from the first call to market took from May to August and many calls to Katie. She really helped me through every step of the process, even when there was no certainty that we would be having her list my mom's home. Katie is very kind and certainly knows her business. Once listed, we needed work to be done to prepare the home for sale. I live in another State and would have had a very hard time coordinating all the little pieces to prepare the house for market. Katie and her team of contractors were able to complete the work we needed. Katie stayed on top of the contractors to ensure the quality of their work and made numerous trips to oversee the work and security of my mom's home. Katie was careful not to oversell the house with a high listing price as other agents typically do and kept her finger on the pulse of the market and provided updates to us by email and phone calls. Katie Pond found a buyer for us and when all the conditions and offers were agreed upon she walked me through everything. I really appreciated her professionalism, patience, friendliness and her time, of which she invested a bunch. The house has sold and frankly, I'm gonna miss her helpful nature and friendship that developed over the course of the sale. In the time it took to sell the house, I only met her in person over one week when I traveled to California to begin emptying out the house of my mother's belongings. Katie went out of her way to do all she could to help us. I am proud to say, "I got the Pond team, starring Katie Pond" to sell my mom's house for us. I couldn't have asked for anything else or anyone better. I highly recommend Katie Pond and the Pond team if you're searching for a competent, friendly and communicative team to sell your house. Thanks, Katie! It was an extreme pleasure to work with you and I will direct anyone and everyone in your service area for their real estate needs. Blessings to you, your team and family. My mom is now in a good place thanks to your help. Call Katie!"
