★★★★★
"Kathy helped us navigate a very time sensitive and unusual home purchase. This situation had many hoops to jump through, and if we had missed any small detail, we may not have been able to complete the purchase. Having Kathy to walk us through the process was extremely helpful. Without her help, we may well have lost out on this home." - Sadia T.

★★★★★
"Kathy was amazing and just so kind and helpful during the whole process. 10/10 and can’t say enough good things about her. This process was stressful and she was very much a calming presenc" - Zohaib

★★★★★
"We had a great experience working with Kathy Sokolic at Compass. She found us exactly what we were looking for, and kept us constantly well informed at every step. Things ran smoothly and the services she suggested constantly performed better than competing quotes we sought out to be sure. 10/10 would hire again" - Jeremy S.

"Kathy Sokolic from Compass is the best! She provided exemplary service and far exceeded our expectations!

★★★★★
"It was so important for me to work with a realtor who cared about my home-buying experience, and Kathy IS that realtor! If you work with her, you’ll be able to feel that she really loves what she does. Being the largest purchase of my life so far, I’m grateful I worked with someone so dedicated to her craft. She is extremely knowledgeable about Austin and the surrounding areas, an incredible communicator, and has an eye for detail. For each option we considered, she gave strong advice drawn from her expertise that helped me make informed and confident decisions. Kathy was a tremendous resource in sourcing and securing my first home purchase. She took me seriously, always showed compassion, and was patient with my many questions. She made the process enjoyable and exciting- she was quick to respond and always professional. I’m so happy with my home and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. " - Atlanta

★★★★★
"Loved working with Kathy S! She was always very responsive, available for viewings last minute, and didn't seem to mind going far outside of town to see places that were within my budget. She was great at explaining things "real estate for dummies," as it was my first time buying and all of it was new to me. She let me set the pace of the search, reminding me at times when I fell off track that she was there when I was ready to pick back up again but never pushy. Ultimately I found a great home, and the closing process went pretty smoothly with her help and coordination with the lenders. Thanks, Kathy!!" - Caitlin K.

★★★★★
"Kathy was fantastic! I loved working with her. She helped me find exactly the rental house that I was looking for and she got the arrangements done right away. She’s fun to work with and I would definitely refer friends to her!" - Erik P.

★★★★★
"Kathy was/is phenomenal. From being an exceptional neighbor and good friend to being an OUTSTANDING realtor and partner to me when I decided to sell my Austin home. Kathy was patient and kind as I dealt with the stress of moving, the purchase of a condo in MD, and then the readying of my Austin home to sell. She stayed in touch regularly with me to check-in and to make gentle suggestions – even when I was resistant- to get my house sold. She carefully and tactfully brought up purchase price lowering when the house was not getting much interest, making suggestions on some cosmetic changes to help prod interest, advising me on offers that came in too low but never pushing on any of my decisions, even if they were not her recommendations. She helped manage the title company issues as she knew my work keeps me busy and stressed and did a number of things probably outside her area of responsibility as a realtor just to keep my life easier and to get the best outcome for me, for the sale and for the transactional logistics. I would, without hesitation, recommend Kathy to ANYONE looking to buy or sell a home, especially in the Mueller area. Being a long-time resident, she really has the pulse on that neighborhood. BTW, she also made an open house for me when she was under the weather- just another example of how Kathy goes above and beyond. Tell the head of your company to send Kathy some flowers. She deserves many kudos and all the praise I can muster." - Melita E.

★★★★★
"Kathy Sokolic made the sale of our home a smooth and effortless process. Her knowledge of the community was extremely helpful. She went the extra mile every step of the process. She is an outstanding agent and we would not hesitate to work with her in the future. " - Judy D.

★★★★★
"Kathy did a really outstanding job, at every step in the process, in helping us sell our house in Austin. We would be happy to work with her again in the future and we will certainly recommend her services, and Compass to our friends and colleagues. " - Stephen D.

★★★★★
"Kathy was phenomenal! I have a crazy work schedule now that I am working from home, and she met all our needs. A lot of the time, that meant around 6:30 rush hour in Austin across town, and she was always there before we were! I think we even saw 5 or 6 homes one Saturday!
She also helped so much with her knowledge. As a first-time homebuyer, I am always skeptical of what I am looking at in a house that someone has already lived in. Kathy was able to point out various things and make it make sense to me.
Especially with this current crazy housing market, there were a bunch of concerns; the fact I wasn't using any cash, using my VA loan, as well as having my brother as my lender. Kathy was able to make it all work! I feel like we pulled off a heist!
Nothing but good things to say! And she was always at the ready for any of our needs!
" - Bradley S.

★★★★★
"Kathy Sokolic truly went above and beyond for us. It turned out to be a roller-coaster process, and we trusted Kathy to get us through it all. She did that and more. We can't recommend her enough." - Rachel W.

★★★★★
"I have been very satisfied with the work Kathy has done. She has made things clear and simple both for the selling of my childhood home and the purchasing of my new home. I admit I dragged my feet at times in regard to selling my childhood home, and Kathy helped me refocus and get things done. She explained things and welcomed questions. I never felt overwhelmed by jargon. I have already recommended her to one friend and will continue to recommend her and Compass to others." - Rachel S.

★★★★★
"Kathy was great to work with, and the 3rd time I've had the pleasure of working with her. She's a great addition to the Compass team!" - Jake S.

★★★★★

★★★★★
"Kathy was amazing and went over and above what I would expect of any agent. If Compass' goal is to deliver exemplary, personalized service that exceeded my expectations, Kathy delivered!" - David B.

★★★★★
"Kathy was great! As a long-time contented renter, my housing search didn't have a strong sense of urgency. Kathy was very patient and was always willing to teach me about the process and look at houses whenever I would put real estate back on the front burner. When I finally got serious about a few places, she was a huge help in thinking critically about various aspects. Once I picked the spot, she was very determined in working with the other realtor and builder to make sure we got the deal done, and then afterward, when we were working through the repair list. I was very glad to have her fighting for me. Kathy has a real passion for helping people, and I definitely wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to friends." - Charlie H.

★★★★★
"Kathy was great every step of the way, even though the Coronavirus pandemic made things difficult for buyers and sellers. Her video walkthrough and virtual open house were well done. She kept us informed on potential buyers and offers. She's personable, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. We would definitely recommend her to friends and family." - Glenn M.

★★★★★
"Kathy is awesome! I met her via a call from Zillow. She was prompt in her communication and was no-nonsense, which is exactly what I like! We walked several properties together, and she was very knowledgeable. She has helped me post-sale as well. I am not in Austin, and she handled several details on my behalf. I highly recommend her and will use her again." - Tammey S.

★★★★★
"Kathy was great to work with. We were pretty particular with our tastes, and she really came through for us. She was patient, thorough, very responsive, and happy to answer all of our questions, even if we asked the same one a few times. She was really there for us and made the process smooth, easy, and comfortable. I could go on and on. Kathy is really great." - Anonymous

★★★★★
"We had an incredible experience working with Kathy. She was extremely responsive, knowledgeable, and worked tirelessly to help us find the perfect home for us. Then once found, our home continued to help us through and after closing. This is my second time working with Kathy, and the fact that I went back to Kathy says how much I appreciate working with her. I highly recommend Kathy!" - Jake S.

★★★★★
"I had a very good experience with Kathy. I bought my first home with her, and it was a very smooth ride along the way. She was very responsive and always willing to help where ever she could. " - Anonymous

★★★★★
"We were first time home buyers, so everything was new to us. Kathy did a great job explaining every step of the process and made us feel at ease. She was very knowledgable about the neighborhoods we thought we wanted to live and had lots of suggestions of her own. She helped us find our dream home, and we couldn't be happier. Thanks, Kathy!" - Anonymous

★★★★★
"I highly recommend working with Kathy! This was my first time buying, and Kathy was very patient with me and my many questions throughout the whole process. She was incredibly knowledgable about everything, really took the time to provide me with thorough information, and went far over and beyond what I think are normal duties as a Realtor. She's definitely committed to excellence, and it shows in the way she works and supports her clients." - Deanna H.

★★★★★
"Kathy is the greatest! She knows Austin so well, especially East Austin/Mueller. She was extremely patient and showed me a number of homes before I made my final decision, and I never felt any pressure from her to buy. She was with me throughout the whole process, attending inspections, and closing meetings with me. She was always available for questions and was quick to reply via phone or email. Kathy also went out of her way to introduce me to the Mueller neighborhood and show me around. I highly recommend her! " - Kendall P. F.

★★★★★
"Working with Kathy made buying a house an easy, fun, and pain-free process. My partner and I had NO idea about any step of buying a house, and Kathy walked us through it all, without ever overwhelming us. We never felt pressured to do anything, and she was always super responsive to our texts, calls, and emails. She knew the area where we were searching really well, and she also had great intuition about what we were looking for. We bought the first house we bid on, and we couldn't feel happier or luckier. Everything went smoothly. I completely credit Kathy for making this all happen. And she always seemed completely calm and reasonable about everything, which helped us to stay calm and reasonable. I could go on, but she is seriously an awesome Realtor, and I would recommend her highly to anyone." - Anna S.

★★★★★
"Kathy is amazing. She listened to what we said we wanted and needed and made sure we reached that goal. Her knowledge and skills were indispensable. We also appreciated that she was very responsive and one of the friendliest people you could meet. We recommend Kathy to everyone we know and would use her again for any future real estate transactions." - Anonymous

★★★★★
"Kathy was very helpful and professional during our whole home-buying process. She worked hard and was quick to follow-up with questions or concerns. She helped us with our "punch list" with the builder, who was invaluable since this was our first new home purchase. I highly recommend Kathy as your Realtor! She will work tirelessly for you!" - Anna P.

★★★★★
"Kathy is the epitome of professionalism. I have been looking at properties from overseas. She was willing to make herself available at times convenient for me with the 12-hour time zone difference. I would recommend her highly to anyone looking to buy in the Austin market." - Anonymous

★★★★★
"As a first time home-buyer in a very fast-paced market, I couldn't have asked for a better Realtor! Kathy is amazing! She helped break everything down in a way that I could understand (took into account my financial needs and helped me find the perfect home in the most unlikely of places ). Her positive and driven attitude helped me close in a timely manner, and even got my bid accepted below asking price! I highly recommend Kathy!" - Amanda M. K.

★★★★★
"Kathy was extremely helpful throughout the home buying process. As a first-time homebuyer, there were a lot of things I didn't know, and she always had the right information. She also has some very good contacts as far as inspectors, lenders, etc. I would highly recommend her as your Realtor!" - Cecil U.

★★★★★
"Kathy was extremely helpful and very responsive. We were all over north Austin. From Northwest Hills to East Austin. She did upfront work to research the areas. We are so happy with what we found. " - Steve R.

★★★★★
"Kathy was a delight. We had problem after problem with our new home builder, and she helped us get things finished. The seller's Realtor continued to miscommunicate our needs to the builder, and Kathy was quick to correct that Realtor's mistakes and get the project back on track. We were living out of state at the time of the build, and Kathy would FaceTime with us once a week so we could see the progress on the construction of our new home." - Michele

★★★★★
"Kathy was an absolute pleasure to work with. My husband and I were looking in specific communities, and she patiently showed us dozens of homes until we found the perfect home for us. She entered each new house with great energy and humor. Throughout the whole process, we felt very comfortable working with her." - Christina C.

★★★★★
"I highly recommend Kathy Sokolic for all your real estate needs! As a first time landlord, I had many questions, and Kathy was knowledgeable and responsive. She handled the entire leasing process for my property from start to finish, and I couldn't have been happier with her customer service. I have already recommended Kathy to friends who are looking to purchase or lease homes!" - Anonymous

★★★★★
"Kathy responded very quickly to our interest in a property she was managing. She was accommodating while showing my fiancé the property and allowed us to Facetime, as I was unable to leave work. She later made arrangements to show the property again so that I could see it in person. Kathy helped us along the way, negotiating details of the lease with the landlords. Overall, very impressed with her willingness to help. Thanks again, Kathy!" - Samantha M.

★★★★★
"I’ve been renting homes in Austin for many years, and Kathy is by far the most responsive, tenacious and competent realtor I’ve ever worked with. I reached out to her with a very short timeline, and she made herself available to help me make a list of homes to view, find an exceptional house within my price range, and facilitate the application process. Without her help, this would have been so much more difficult and stressful, and I doubt I would have signed a lease on such an attractive home. Throughout the process, Kathy was extraordinarily helpful. She was available to answer questions and give me updates at all hours of the day. She understands Austin’s competitive housing market and helped me negotiate an agreement with the most demanding housing agent (and the most intricate lease application) I’ve ever encountered. I’m very happy with the outcome of the process. I highly, highly recommend working with Kathy to find a home to lease. And, I am not yet ready to buy my own house, but when that time comes, I will trust Kathy to help me." - Jonathan S.

★★★★★
"Kathy was the best! As a first time home buyer in a seller's market, it was Kathy's promptness and expertise that made the home buying a reality. I'm so glad I chose to work with Kathy, I don't think I could have made it to the end without her! She helped me accomplish my dream of homeownership. " - Anonymous

★★★★★
"Kathy knows Austin! She is passionate about green living and knowing the neighborhood you live in. She always knows what is going on in town and changes that might affect her clients. She has provided me with great advice on working with HOAs and builders. Her responsiveness is amazing, ALWAYS on top of things. I would definitely recommend her to help you buy or sell your next home." - Morgan R.
