"I cannot speak highly enough of Kate Zhurko as my real estate agent. She goes above and beyond those in her industry. Her knowledge, incredible hard work, and persistence are just some of the qualities she exemplifies which make her a wonderful agent. She found me the perfect fit for my first home and I couldn't be happier. She was always there to answer any questions I had. It was an absolute joy working with Kate and I will recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell their home." - Eric

"Kate did an magnificent job in both selling and finding me a new place to purchase. A triple closing is a pretty hard task and she did it! Having a 1939 house is never an easy one and as always there were challenges with any type of sale or purchase. Kate was able to jump on each one, address them and help come up with solutions. I would highly recommend her and suggest a meeting so you can see for yourself. She is not only a fantastic at her job but also an amazing person." - Jill

"This is the 3rd time we have worked with Kate in the last few years. To find a rental, to purchase a home, and to sell a home, and I would never consider using anyone else. She is simply the best. When selling our home, she went the extra mile including professional pictures, tons of research on comps, local trends and market, etc. Her advertising of our home was unparalleled fully exploiting every marketing and advertising technique. She, as always, worked tirelessly to get our home sold as quick as possible, and her real estate knowledge is top notch, plus she is a great person. I would recommend Kate to everyone I know with complete confidence. SHE'S AWESOME." - Kelly

"I initially came across Kate through Zillow as I wanted to look at a particular house that I had found on my own. She immediately reached out to touch base and advised that she had been through that very house several times and cautioned me that it would likely be a waste of my time due to a variety of factors. Kate then set up a search based upon my needs and kept me updated on any suitable properties coming on market and even some that were not on market. Kate's approach was relaxed and straight-forward without pressure or making me feel rushed. Despite knowing the neighborhoods of Fort Lauderdale, she pushed me to view properties in areas I was not as familiar with, which I am thankful for. After viewing numerous properties and submitting offers, I found the right house and the offer was accepted. The home buying process in this economic climate can be very discouraging but Kate remained upbeat and determined that I would find the right place. Once the offer was accepted, I ran into an issue with permitting that wasn't completed properly for a series of renovations. Kate was integral in providing quality third party resources to investigate this matter further and despite almost walking away, she helped negotiate an even better deal which solidified the deal. She is a consummate professional and her timeliness of communication is phenomenal. As a sales executive, I would highly recommend Kate for her no nonsense attitude and her ability to truly identify my needs, versus making a sale for her benefit. She will most certainly be involved in our future real estate transactions in the Fort Lauderdale area." - Ryan

"Consider yourself lucky if Kate has time for you. We called her looking for a 2 bedroom condo on the water, with tight time constraints, very specific requests as to amenities, location, etc and a tight budget to boot. Hardly a realtor's dream to say the least. Nevertheless, Kate gladly helped us out and the level of service she provided, from the beginning until after the end, was as if were were $10 million cash buyers. Kate has extensive experience in the S. FL area and hence, knows the area and the ins and outs of the business very, very well. She is extremely sharp and thorough and throughout the process, you know she has your back every step of the way. Not only did she get us into a place that we love, exactly where we wanted, she saved us money on rent! Kate is a total rock star and our realtor for life if she hasn't retired already. Thank you for EVERYTHING Kate!! " - Ross
