"Katy possesses all of the qualities that anyone should look for in an agent! Not only is she a smart and savvy negotiator who is thorough and tenacious, but she has an incredible knowledge of the Silicon Valley market and the connections to be the first in line to see new properties. Her off market network and great relationships with agents on the other side is like no other. I will forever be grateful to her for helping me find the absolute perfect home that checked every single box in what I was looking for!

"Katy was invaluable in helping us purchase our home. She is a can-do person and uses her extensive professional network to get things done. Her expertise and knowledge were evident, and she always responded quickly to my calls and emails. For example, when I had some questions, we were on the phone with the title company right away and within an hour I had all my questions answered. She also kept in touch with us post-sale, making sure that we had settled in and further offering to help in any way. It is obvious why Katy is one of the top REALTORS® in the area." - Antonia
★★★★★
"Katy was a tremendous resource in helping to find the right house for us in Menlo Park. Due to her deep relationships within the Menlo Park and Atherton, we had access to MANY properties on and off market which gave us great flexibility in terms of choice. We also wanted to sell our house before we bought a new house which complicated the transaction. Within two weeks of selling our house, we were under contract for a lovely newly built home in a great location. Needless to say, we are very happy with the professional way in which we were handled and the tireless, patient way in which Katy interacted with us!" - Ivy

"I have worked with serval REALTORS® over the years but none as outstanding as Katy Thielke Strasser. She has an extensive knowledge of Penninsula and South Bay. She has lived in the area her whole life and is very connected to the community. She has the ability to make you feel as though you are her only client. Any questions we had were answered immediately. She was so responsive to our every need. She exceeded all our our expectations. She was an absolute joy to work with! Katy is now our agent for life." - Past Client
★★★★★
"As buyers from overseas we contacted a number of different agents to help with our property search, but Katy was by far the most proactive and supportive during the process. She dedicated time to review our shortlist before making our visit, and when finally arriving to the area she had lined up some very promising homes for us to view. There were a number of specific requirements for the home and she took these on board, using her network to help arrange the appropriate surveys. Overall I would recommend Katy to support anyone looking for a home in the Atherton/Portola Valley/Los Altos Hills area." - Matthew
★★★★★
"One would be hard pressed to find someone who is more professional, supportive, and is the very definition of "get it done." while being more than 100% attentive to her client's needs, wants, budget, all while being able to gently expose them to what may unexpectedly go beyond what the client might have anticipated or realised was available or possible." - Past Client
★★★★★
"My family and I have known Katy for almost 15 years, and we definitely vouch for Katy as our go to agent. Katy was our agent when we decided to buy our first home in Santa Clara County - Palo Alto in 2002, and we are very grateful she gave us this opportunity to own our first home! Also, after our family moved out of the state she was extremely helpful in preparing our home for rent. Over the years she helped us with not only securing rental clients, but also with property advice, upgrades, remodel management, all while our family has been living out of state. Katy has helped us in so many ways. She is extremely patient and persistent when any issues need to be solved. I would definitely recommend Katy!" - Past Client
