Katrina Smith, of Pinpoint properties, did an outstanding job for us in the sale of our home and the purchase of a new home in all aspects of a sell or a purchase. Four years ago, she took over the sale of our previous home; after having been on the market for over a year with another realtor, she sold this house in less than 2 months for more money than it was previously listed. Late last year, Katrina took on the sale of our current home, and the purchase of a new one. During the next 2 months, she sold our house for more than comp value before it was ever put on the market, and the new house was purchased for a bargain. Both house were put in escrow and closed during this time. Katrina’s leadership style was exemplary in accomplishing the work, everyone was satisfied and we are currently enjoying our new home.
Katrina and her team were awesome to work with. Her expertise in market analysis and marketing strategy was a huge help in selling my home in a softer sales market. She also has strong communication skills and timely responsiveness which was really helpful when navigating through the negotiation and closing process. I would highly recommend her for your buying or selling real estate needs!
We used this realtor at the advice of a friend and were SO glad we did! Her knowledge of the local market truly surpassed other realtors we interviewed, and she is obviously at the top of her game, exceptionally poised and just a real pleasure to do business with. Her negotiation skills were top notch, and she realllllly went the distance for us. We appreciated her guidance and expertise in what could have been a complicated transaction, and she never ceased to go above and beyond our very high expectations. We have since used her for two other real estate deals and she makes the process seamless!
Katrina is not only the best realtor I have worked with, but she has also surrounded herself with a great team that will not let you down. Each house sale is unique and has their complications. Katrina and her team made it happen with my house and navigated us through the various negotiations that had to go down. I trusted her guidance and relied upon her team for their sharp communication and punctual work ethic.
I hired Katrina because I had heard great things about her on several occasions. My experience turned out to be excellent and she helped coordinate so many aspects of my sale and closing. I’m glad I chose her because her marketing was top-notch…I know that is a big part of what ultimately brought in the results. Appreciated the follow up too. She kept everything on schedule and didn't let anything slip through the cracks. A+ job
My experience with Katrina was short. See sold the home in two days. Never even made it to Broker's Preview or a chance for Zillow and/or MLS to take effect. On top of that, she got me more than my asking price; the home sold for 4.3 million. The previous broker had it for one year with no results.
Katrina was absolutely fantastic to work with and I couldn’t recommend her more highly for anyone looking to purchase a home in Corona del Mar and coastal OC. She spent countless hours patiently driving us around properties over several months during our search process and never once put pressure on us to pursue any particular one. She shared her deep knowledge of the areas we were looking (mostly Corona Del Mar) and was always extremely responsive to our many questions and requests, no matter what the time of day and even when she was travelling interstate. Once we found our dream property she guided us through the purchase process which was by no means smooth given multiple issues and delays with our bank and was absolutely fantastic in dealing with the seller and their agent in helping the deal cross the line. I also referred Katrina to an overseas friend who was looking for an investment in Irvine and he had a similarly faultless experience with Katrina.
Our Realtor, Katrina Smith made the entire process of listing, showing and selling our home painless! We were so impressed with her professionalism and knowledge of the business. Katrina has a lot of integrity and is a real professional in dealing with her clients, as well as other realtors and potential buyers. From photography to the design of our advertising materials, print and electronic, Katrina nailed it. Absolutely beautiful photography and the layout gave a clear and honest representation of our home. We believe this was key in getting the right clients interested and ultimately touring our home. This is our second real estate transaction in which Katrina has been our realtor. I would not even consider another realtor and I go out of my way to recommend Katrina and Pinpoint Properties to all of my co-workers and friends. Selling or purchasing a home can be a stressful experience and Katrina made the recent sale of our home an extremely positive experience. We will definitely call upon her when we are in the market to purchase our new home.
Katrina was referred to us by close family members and we couldn't have been happier with the results! My fiancé and I changed our desired location about 5 times and without hesitation, Katrina happily adjusted our preferences and came up with new properties for us to view.
The aspect we loved most about Katrina as our realtor was that she truly valued our opinion despite our lack of experience in the home buying/selling realm. Her 10+ years of industry experience coupled with her ability to earn the trust of her clients really made our relationship a match made in real estate heaven!
Katrina is an amazing realtor. After having my home on and off the market for over a year, I decided to re-list my home with Katrina. She quickly bought me a buyer and my house was sold in a couple of months. She made the home-selling process very easy for me and was always available if I had any questions along the way, I will absolutely recommend Katrina and her team to all my friends and family.
Katrina is a total professional. We had many people interested in this property. She helped me field all of the offers with her knowledge and expertise. I would refer her to anyone who needs a realtor. She is easy to deal with and very responsive. I had no problem getting a hold of her. She answered all of my questions promptly. The paperwork was promptly received. GREAT REALTOR!
Katrina sold a one of a kind house and property in Laguna Beach, negotiated for a long time and never gave up. Final settlement was accepted and the house was sold. Thank you very much for all the help and patience.
We Enjoyed working with Katrina and her team, they were both knowledgeable and professional, during our home search and escrow. We would work with the again.
Katrina recently represented us selling a property in Corona Del Mar. We can't say enough nice things about her. She was extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and definitely had a pulse on the market. She was very professional and just a delight to work with. We would highly recommend Katrina.
Katrina is awesome to work with. She is extremely responsive and knowledgeable. She helped me in finding the perfect opportunity. She really knows her areas she services well. Plus having great relationships with other brokers in the area was also key in me getting the house I wanted. I will definitely use her again.
Katrina helped us in several real estate transactions on both sides of selling and buying. Very knowledgeable concerning high end marketing, negotiations and the many details that go into the process. I have already recommended her to colleagues.
I would not consider having anyone but Katrina handle real estate on my behalf. She is exceptionally knowledgeable and you will have the utmost confidence that your transaction is being done with absolute professionalism. Katrina came highly recommended to me by someone who has been buying and selling real estate for over 25 years and I’m grateful for the recommendation.
I have had the pleasure of purchasing and selling with Katrina and she has always been amazing. She communicates well, is quick to respond and makes time for you and your needs. She was especially great walking me thru the process to ensure I knew what steps needed to happen and when, so there were never any surprises. She is my first call for anything real estate.
Katrina is very professional and helped our sale run smoothly. She was very knowledgeable and helped show our house in its best light. She chose the staging designer and the photographer, whose photos were gorgeous. She also brought in the buyer and due to her efforts our house sold in one day on the market.
Absolutely professional and so easy to work with. I would recommend her services to anyone. I have had Katrina help me sell my house and purchase 2. She manages timing very well with prompt accommodations to make the process as smooth as possible.
Kat was very involved in the entire sales process. She is extremely helpful and does what she says she is going to do. She is very professional and at the same time approachable. I would highly recommend her to anybody that is looking for someone that is going to make the process run smoothly.
Kat was the best choice for us. She is very personable and knowledgable, and was impressively professional. She knows the area well and what clients are looking for. She was very helpful with all of our needs and she stayed in contact to update us on all matters.
Katrina is an outstanding individual! In addition to being a seasoned professional, she is diligent and extremely responsive. Her guidance and input throughout the entire process, from listing through closing, was invaluable to us. We have already recommended her to friends and look forward to working with her again in the future.
My husband and I decided to go with a realtor agent to sale our home earlier this year in April. After going through a few agents' reviews online, we were able to narrow down to three agents we would like to work with. We setup meets with the agents to see if they're compatible with our interests and work ethnic. We ended up working with Katrina Smith from Pinpoint Properties. We felt comfortable with her when we first met her. That's very important. Everything went smoothly during our first few meetings. She's very professional, punctual and responses quickly. She's knowledgeable, honest, and straight-forward. She didn't make any promises like other did. She wasn't pushy, forceful with us. She worked with what we wanted, and if it didn't work, we would use her expertise to move forward in sales. There were other agents that kept calling us after we already signed with her. That's terrible sportsmanship. We're happy we didn't go for those agents. Our whole process took 4 months, we were provided updates of the market and with our home. She had a plan and marketing strategy that drives clients through our property. We were able to sell our home in the timely manner. We're completely satisfy with her services and the team she provided. If we had to do it all over again, we definitely would not hesitate to use her services again.
We particularly appreciated the calm and professional manner by which Katrina managed our expectations, constantly bringing us back to marketplace reality. In addition, she proved to be a shrewd negotiator on our behalf. We highly recommend Katrina.
Katrina was very helpful. She was happy to facilitate many requests and helped us in many ways. Katrina is very gracious and thoughtful. Her attention to detail is lovely as well.
Very knowledgable and responsive! Katrina sourced the perfect home and facilitated a very smooth and timely transaction. We moved from out of state and she went above and beyond to meet our needs.
We were referred to Katrina by our daughter who is a real estate agent in South Carolina. She hit the nail on the head by turning us on to Katrina. There are many options in Southern California when it comes to selling your homes. We found Katrina to be professional and very on top of the market and potential buyers. Thank you for asking us to give you a report! We were more than satisfied!
Katrina and her team at Pinpoint did a fantastic job in finding the right property for us, we were very impressed with her professionalism and negotiating skills. She has extensive knowledge of not only Newport Beach but surrounding areas which was particularly helpful to us. Although she showed us many properties (We were looking for a certain type of property that was hard to find) we never felt any pressure from her. Katrina thank you for a job well done!!!
We had a great experience with Katrina! She was very helpful throughout the entire process of buying our home. As first time home buyers we are so thankful for everything Katrina has done for us.
Extremely responsible and responsive throughout the whole process, from viewing homes to completing the purchase. Thinks ahead and on behalf of client. Courteous of our busy schedules, yet ensures we do not miss deadlines. Very knowledgeable of area.
Kat was amazing. The whole process of selling our home went smoothly. In a blink of an eye it was sold. She was such a pleasure to work with and extremely professional. Her work was superb and we would highly recommend Kat to our friends and family.
Katrina was the best agent I have ever dealt with. My husband and I had contact over a year ago because we had some interest in buying a home in our desired area. She was diligent in keeping in contact with us for over a year until we were ready to buy and continually sent us e-mails with updates on local listings (as we lived out of state). When we were ready to buy she was exceedingly professional and immediately responsive to all communication. She even dropped everything to show us listings when we were in town on a holiday! She had a positive attitude during the whole processes. I would highly recommend! She knows the Orange County coastal region like the back of her hand. In regards to the area we purchased (Corona del Mar), she was definitely an expert as she lives in the area.
Katrina, Did an excellent job in finding me a property in the Corona del Mar village. Not only did she find me the property i requested, she did an awesome job representing me during the transaction. She definitely had my best interest in mind and her attention to detail made me appreciate her expertise. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for residential real estate in the area.
Started with looking at View homes in Laguna Beach and Newport Beach. Looking at many and finding several in my price range and what I was looking for. She did an exceptional job in negotiating the deal, getting a good price and working out all of the details in the purchase. Great Job from start to finish!
Katrina was professional, patient, and listened carefully to our needs. It felt like a friend was helping us find our new home! Even after selecting the perfect house and signing a contract, at our request, she took us out for one more full day of viewing homes that matched our criteria to make sure we 100% happy with our choice.
Katrina, Had taken on a BIG challenge with our home in Laguna Beach, that had been on the market for sometime with several other so/SELF called "Pros" .....with NO results. She Marketed the house and created so much interest with showings that our recent replacement carpet was taking a toll on wear and tear:)...... Kat, unlike most others was able to NOT just stick a sign in the driveway and wait for some other Agent to bring in a "Buyer" . Her Team brought in The BUYERS as well. If you have had little luck with your current representation FIRE Them Today !!! and list with Katrina Smith and call the movers.
I think katrina is super helpful and friendly. Also, she has high efficiency on work, and every time I ask her about something, she will find the answer as quick as possible. She is very patient and love to all the questions I have. Most importantly, she is hard working and able to provide professional ideas. I really enjoying working with her and will always work with her.
I had an enjoyable experience working with Katrina. From identifying the property of interest up to the closing of the transaction, Katrina has demonstrated the upmost professionalism. She has deep local knowledge and expertise of the area that I was looking for and was very helpful in providing the important details/information to help guide the decision making / purchase process. Her execution tenacity and negotiation skills were key to the closing of what was indeed a challenging transaction, where we managed to navigate through some difficult roadblocks.
