“Kate is a spectacular ethical realtor. I trusted her with the purchase of two of my homes and the sale of one of home. Kate is an expert negotiator with years of experience. I appreciated Kate’s attention to detail and how she stayed on top of everything for me. Her clients are her number one priority and I felt so secure while working with her. I also personally recommended Kate to multiple friends who appreciated her just as much as I do. If you are looking for an ethical realtor who has your best interest at heart, be sure to give Kate a call.” -Aaron

“We worked with Kate to purchase our first home and we were so extraordinarily lucky to have been referred to her. We could not have asked for a better agent! As first time homebuyers there was a lot we had to learn during this process and Kate was so understanding and patient with us, we could not have done it without her step-by-step guidance. Kate was extremely committed to our search and ultimately helped us to purchase the home we love so much! She is easy to work with, knowledgeable, trustworthy and invested. We felt we had her complete and total support each step of the way, she truly had our best interest at heart and went to bat for us multiple times. Anyone would be lucky to work with Kate as I would absolutely refer her to all of my closest friends and family!”-Heather

“Kate is the best realtor any buyer could ask for. To begin, she is very supportive and trusting when it comes to helping you buy a house. We had a rocky journey, and Kate stuck by us for the many years. When looking at houses, she was never pushy. She always made sure we were comfortable with the house before putting in offers and taking it one step forward. She always gave us truthful answers and was also straightforward - qualities that are present in the best of the best. Kate has great knowledge in house, always had an answer for us, and had a lot of resources. Need an inspector, she has a guy. Need a floor guy, she has one as well. Kate was also a phone call away. Always there when you needed her. In the end, Kate fought for us long and hard to get the house we deserved for a long time. She never once backed out even when times got hard. We’ve had our fair share of realtors and out of the many years of home searching, Kate Hayes is number one”. – Alamaj

“Kate was recommended to us by family; she is wonderful! Kate assisted us in the sale of our mobile home and guided us through every step. She was available to call 24/7 and went above and beyond in every opportunity she got. She’s super sharp and easy to talk to. Our home sold the weekend we went live! 5 stars!!!!!” -Chrissy

★★★★★
“My wife and I have sold many houses. Kate was simply the BEST! Great attention to every single detail and facet of the sale, fantastic communication style, more than willing to go the extra mile or two when needed without complaint, and on top of everything. Difficult township to deal with? She will figure out a way to make it work. We gave her five stars, but that barely scratches the surface on what we think of her! You need a great realtor? Kate is IT!” -Dan P

★★★★★
“Kate is a phenomenal realtor and is highly recommended. In a difficult market for buyers, she helped me find the right house that met my needs. Kate knew the area and current market very well. Kate was in constant communication with me, checked in on a regular basis, and was responsive to all my questions and needs. Once finding a house, she helped negotiate a fair purchasing price and then helped navigate me through the closing process. I highly recommend Kate for any real estate needs.” -Connie C

★★★★★
“Kate was phenomenal from start to finish. She was the perfect partner - understanding our needs while also guiding us through what would be the best strategy given the market. I cannot recommend Kate enough for anyone looking to buy or sell on the Main Line, she is absolutely phenomenal.” -David

★★★★★
“Kate is smart, dedicated and truly passionate about what she does. 100% recommend! Going into the process, my husband and I had many checkboxes we wanted to tick off for our new home. Kate was able accommodate multiple viewings a week. At each viewing kate was equally or more engaged than we were in reviewing the home. She is a realtor that truly just wants you to find the right home for your family! I would also like to highlight Kate’s an honest realtor. She let us know multiple time when our expectations weren’t possible and needed to reconsider our next steps. She’s a great negotiator but also very reasonable one. She will communicate all possible ways of negotiating and outcomes.” -Sheila

★★★★★
“Kate was amazing every step of the way in our home buying experience. Her knowledge of the local areas, her expertise on the current market dynamics, and her ability to represent us when working with the sellers/selling agent we’re all impressive and critical to us being able to come away with the house we got. From the start of our search process to ultimately finding a home, Kate was always responsive and always gave great advice along the away as we got frustrated and worried about whether we’d find the right home. We can’t say that we miss the process of buying a house in this crazy market, but we definitely miss Kate & working with her!” -Nate

★★★★★
“I recommend Kate Buchanan without any hesitation. Her experience in the real estate arena is outstanding. She excels at timely communication through phone, text messaging and email. Kate was an active partner all the way through the process of selling my house as she was aware of my needs and collaborated on all decisions. Her connections with other realtors was very helpful as we navigated through the visitation appointments and the many follow-up activities.” -Celeste

★★★★★
“Kate’s occupation as “realtor” does not cover all of her roles during our home buying and selling process. She was absolutely incredible to work with- she is knowledgeable about the current market trends, accessible for late night conversations and last minute appointments, and a has a plethora of resources in her network from inspectors to appraisers to mortgage lenders and more. She is so well prepared for every appointment. On top of it all, she is an amazing down to earth person who does not push you out of your comfort zone or try to upsell you on what you desire. She was truly a key player in our real estate process. We not only gained an expert resource, we gained a friend along the way.” -Kelly

★★★★★
“Kate was everything we could have hoped for and more as she helped sell our house. Her in-depth knowledge of the market, especially in our area, helped exceed our expectations when it came to offers. Along with being personable and friendly, Kate has a keen eye for details as she helped us prep and stage our house, explained the process of listing and the intricacies of the multiple offers we received. Thanks to Kate, our house sold the first weekend it was listed, and prepped us for closing and our move as well. We can't say enough about how wonderful Kate made our experience, and we'd recommend her to everyone!” -Jack

★★★★★
“Kate was absolutely fantastic in helping us purchase our first home. She asked so many questions that I wouldn’t have even thought of as a first time home buyer and helped us think long term. She was extremely knowledgeable about the process, kept us informed throughout and sent reminders along the way to make sure everything stayed on track. I’d recommend her to family and friends and hope to work with her again!” -Megan

★★★★★
“I loved working with Kate! She was very strongly recommended to me by two friends separately. This was my first home purchase, and there were so many new things to learn throughout the process. Kate explained everything and answered my (numerous!) questions and was always available. I really felt like she had my back, which was especially important since I was buying in the middle of the current crazy market. I also want to emphasize that she was very honest and straightforward, which is something you definitely worry about when choosing an agent! There were so many things to worry about during the process, so it was extremely reassuring that I didn't have to worry about my agent's skill/knowledge/dedication. She kept my stress levels down!” -Leida

★★★★★
“Kate is amazing! She is very knowledgeable, she was always paying attention to what we were describing and responding super fast in any question we had. She helped us find exactly what we wanted and guided us through the negotiation process successfully. Purchasing a house can be quite stressful but with Kate’s help, it was a wonderful experience for us.” -Maria

★★★★★
“Kate is amazing. We had a complicated sale and purchase and she handled every step like a true pro. She went above and beyond at every step and exceeded my expectations in every way. Recommend her to everyone you know!” -Nick

★★★★★
“We worked with Kate for both buying an selling our home in Philadelphia. As first-time buyers and sellers, we knew we needed the help of someone who didn't mind educating us and handling all of our questions and concerns, and Kate was perfect. She was patient with us, provided lots of resources, and we completely trusted her every step of the way. She is extremely personable, professional, always responded immediately, and is an excellent negotiator. We are very confident in recommending Kate.” -Katie

★★★★★
“Kate helped our family chose a great home in PA. Being from out-of-state, she was easy to work with remotely and went above and beyond by taking the time to go to showings before we arrived. Kate is very knowledgeable in all aspects of Real Estate. The experience with her and our mortgage lender was streamlined. Overall, we are so happy to have worked with Kate during my family's relocation process. Highly recommended!!!!” -Osman

★★★★★
“Kate was wonderful to work with! She was very professional and after many viewings found us our first home! We loved getting to work with her. I first met her at one of the bridal events I went to before we got married. She sent us a congratulations card and I reached out to her because of her consistency. 10/10 would recommend!” -Tracey

★★★★★
“Kate helped my husband and I purchase our first home and she exceeded every expectation that we had for a realtor. After starting off the home buying process with another realtor who did not quite see our vision, we were feeling discouraged about something that we expected to feel excited about - and then in steps Kate. Kate answered any and all questions that we both had at ANY time of day. She was not only patient and knowledgeable, but she was so positive and friendly; a true professional. We really leaned on Kate throughout the entire process and everything worked out PERFECTLY! She goes above and beyond for her clients and we could not be more thankful to have been introduced to her.” -Ashton
