Kate Wilkins

★★★★★
“Kate was fabulous to work with; she absolutely goes above and beyond for her clients. She knows the market and the area well. We were able to find a wonderful home in North Lake Tahoe for the price we wanted to pay thanks to all of Kate's experience, knowledge and diligence. Kate was always very responsive to calls, texts and emails. She helped made our home-buying experience easy despite some challenges with our lender and inspections. Even after we closed on our home, Kate was still there to help us. We were not local to the area, and she made many trips to our home to bring boxes and furniture in out of the snow. We cannot recommend Kate highly enough.”

“We purchased our first home with Kate as our buyer's agent this May, and we couldn't be happier with her partnership throughout the process. Kate kept us well-informed with timely updates and always made herself available to answer all of our questions (and there were a lot!). We were living in another city during our home search, and Kate was able to help us tour as many homes as possible when we were able to be in Truckee in person. She also went to take videos of houses we were interested in for us on the occasions we weren't able to tour in person. Kate worked with us through some truly gnarly situations - from an exceptionally difficult seller to insane contingencies during an extremely competitive time in the Truckee market - before helping us land a house that checked all our boxes. We are so thankful for all her patience and guidance, and would be happy to work with her again. If you're looking for an agent, look no further than Kate!”

“We purchased a condo in Olympic Valley remotely, going under contract before ever seeing it in person, and Kate made that possible. When inspections turned up issues we couldn't have caught from a distance, she negotiated a credit on our behalf and then went further, lining up quotes for a replacement furnace and water heater and coordinating repairs to the windows and screens. She knows the Olympic Valley and Tahoe market cold, communicates directly, and never once pressured us. If you need a realtor who will genuinely represent your interests from afar, work with Kate.”

“My wife and I were very fortunate to have Kate Wilkins as our buyers agent. Kate is personable and very bright. We felt very trusting from the early onset , and we were correct. Always were confident in her ability to guide us throughout our search. Kate was very deliberate in making sure everything about the property was known and she advocated strongly on our behalf on every single issue. The end result was great. We bought a great place in Tahoe. I feel that we could not have had better representation from start to finish.”

“Kate Wilkins was referred to us by another real estate agent who called her the best in Lake Tahoe—and she absolutely delivered! With her deep local knowledge, sharp advice on neighborhoods, and current market insights, our search was a smooth success. Kate really listened to what our family needed and always put our best interests first. We trusted her advice completely—she was honest and never just told us what we wanted to hear. Thanks to her dedication, we found our dream vacation home at a great price and are already making wonderful memories with our kids. I can’t recommend Kate highly enough!”

“Kate Wilkins was referred to us by a friend and neighbor to assist us in selling our Tahoe home. Kate did a great job from the first meeting we had through closing date. We reviewed the market and condition of our property and possible selling prices based on various upgrades. Kate was an invaluable asset in helping us find local and reasonable contractors. We were able to keep the whole project on schedule. Kate's interior decorator eye and communications skills really kept things efficient. Kate got our property prepared, listed, advertised, and shown all on schedule resulting in quick acceptable offer and close. We would recommend Kate with no reservations.”

“Kate recently sold my condo in Tahoe City. She did a wonderful job on staging with new furniture that she was able to source on budget, and making slight upgrades and fixes to help make my listing stand out. I'm very pleased working with Kate. She's a great communicator and strategic with her approach. I highly recommend her!”

“Kate was recommended to us by a dear friend, and—as much as we love the guy—that recommendation alone might have been the best thing he’s ever done for us. Kate is singularly warm, responsive, resourceful, and responsible. We were buying from afar, and she quickly aligned contractors and professionals to investigate and answer all our questions so we could proceed with confidence. In a very competitive market, we quickly found and purchased the perfect house. And she’s continued to be a friend and aid us in getting settled, always ready to share her contacts and advice, and even dropping by with a pie for Thanksgiving. We’d absolutely work with her again and recommend her without reservation. She’s wonderful.”

“Kate is awesome! We have known Kate for several years now and she has helped us purchase two homes plus we have referred her to friends who she has helped. She is super knowledgeable of the many Tahoe/Truckee neighborhoods and is patient in helping you find the right home for you. She also offers the best advice to get the most out of the sale of your home. Kate is always available for all of our many questions. She is also great during the negotiation and closing process providing regular updates and quickly answering questions during the transaction. Kate is our go to realtor no matter what and we highly recommend Kate to anyone in the market for a home or to sell their home in the Tahoe area.”

“Kate Wilkins was our Realtor® for our purchase transaction in Carnelian Bay about 18 months ago. We were more than pleased with every aspect of her assistance throughout the searching and escrow periods, and are happy to say that we have maintained friendly warm contact since close of escrow. Kate worked with us to find a selling agent on the Nevada side for our old place, and patiently previewed and showed us several potential condos and houses to consider for our purchase. Bidding was competitive in the area we wanted, but Kate skillfully negotiated a successful contract. She carefully managed the timing and execution of all the inspections, being sure to get reports to us and help us work with the results. It is never easy to coordinate both the selling and purchasing ends simultaneously, but Kate proved to have the knowledge and skills to make this work for us. We would hire Kate again in a heartbeat if the need ever arises (not planning on selling though - love Tahoe too much). I should add that I knew what skill set was needed for a successful real estate agent, having been a broker for many years in a different geographical area. There have been many in the profession that have no business being there. But please be assured that Kate is among the most ethical, honest and knowledge ones you will find.”
