"I recently had the pleasure of working with Kim Caterino from Compass to sell my house, and I cannot express enough how impressed I was with her professionalism, dedication, and expertise throughout the entire process. From our initial consultation to the closing of the sale, Kim Caterino demonstrated a deep understanding of the local market and a keen eye for detail. She provided invaluable guidance on preparing my property for listing, offering valuable suggestions to enhance its appeal to potential buyers. Her knowledge of pricing strategy and negotiation tactics was evident as she navigated the complexities of the real estate market. What truly set Kim Caterino apart was her unwavering commitment to providing exceptional customer service. She was always readily available to address any questions or concerns I had, promptly returning calls and emails and keeping me informed every step of the way. Her professionalism and dedication instilled confidence in me throughout the entire process, making what could have been a stressful experience much more smooth and efficient. Thanks to Kim's hard work and expertise, my house sold quickly and at the price we wanted. I am incredibly grateful for her guidance and support and would highly recommend Kim to anyone in need of a reliable and trustworthy real estate agent. If you're looking for someone who will go above and beyond to help you achieve your real estate goals, look no further than Kim Caterino. She is truly the best in the business" - Patricia P.

"Kim Caterino is an outstanding real estate professional. As our buyer’s agent, Kim helped us to negotiate the purchase of our new home with the skill and expertise of a uniquely talented individual. Throughout the process of buying our home, Kim kept us updated on all aspects of the purchase, and her exceptional knowledge provided us with the reassurance we needed to make well-informed decisions. Through every step of the process, Kim expertly navigated more details than I could possibly list. She led us through multiple tours and showings with seemingly endless patience, and she negotiated on our behalf with the utmost professionalism and integrity at every turn. She was there when we needed her with each change and update, and always available to answer our questions or offer advice. She provided us with invaluable guidance and expert recommendations based on market trends and analyses, and she consistently worked to accommodate our needs and communicate with others on our behalf. What’s more, Kim’s vast level of experience provided us with insights on a wide range of industry professionals she recommended to help manage the additional details of our transaction, all of whom proved to be highly skilled members of what came to be known as our real estate “dream team.” :)Not only is Kim among the best in the real estate industry, she is a truly remarkable human being and an absolute treasure to know and work with. She even went out of her way to extend kindness and grace by taking time to chat with our elderly grandmother in Florida and help make her feel welcome by answering all of her many questions. 💜 We are blessed to have been guided by Kim through this journey, and we are extremely grateful for all she’s done to help us buy the home that was perfect for our family. For these reasons and so many others, we are honored to recommend Kim Caterino for her outstanding dedication to clients and excellence in the real estate industry/em>" - Erin M.

"We recently sold our home and vineyard north of Napa. Since the sale had both residential and agricultural aspects, it was a somewhat complicated listing. But we have nothing but compliments and rave reviews for the realtor we chose, Kim Caterino of Compass in Napa. Kim is the consummate professional; articulate, efficient, and meticulous. She is an amazing negotiator. Her sunny demeanor was uplifting, even during some stressful moments. Kim’s skills and leadership kept the lenders, mortgage company, and buyer’s agent on schedule to help us close in a timely manner. We would not hesitate to call Kim again/em>" - Cheryl F.

★★★★★
"Kim did a fantastic job showing us properties that we were interested in. Before meeting us at a property, she always did tons of research and created a dialog with the seller’s agent to gather even more information. We didn’t know what/where we wanted, so she was patient with us until we figured it out. When we were ready to make an offer, she was there every step of the way to make sure that everything was properly written up and presented. During escrow she continued to do more research and provide additional information about the property and the surrounding area that was very helpful. There were some unusual aspects (easements, liens, etc.) to the property that she made sure that we were not only fully aware of but understood them. I would highly recommend Kim and would use her again myself./em>" - Cole S.

★★★★★
"Most importantly about Kim is that she listens to your needs. She weeds out all the things that I don't want and really focuses my attention on what's important. She's quick to respond to a call or an email and always follows up in a timely matter. Recommend Kim without hesitation/em>" - Jon S.

★★★★★
"I had the pleasure of working with Kim a few years ago. She was extremely knowledgeable about the market and went out of her way to give me all of the information I needed. She was patient and offered excellent advice about the things I needed to do to update my home to get top dollar and a quick sale. I would absolutely use her in the future for all of my real estate needs/em>" - Elaine F.

★★★★★
"Kim Caterino, Napa Realtor, from start to finish was there for me. She is one you can count on to follow up on details, wisely counsel about challenges, and prepare all the documentation for a successful close on the property. Even in this aggressive real estate sellers’ market, a discounted sales price was expertly negotiated by Kim. It is with the highest regard that I recommend Kim Caterino to be your realtor. You will be glad she is representing you!/em>" - Victoria A.

★★★★★
"Kim is a true professional! Not only that, she's personable, caring and committed to ensuring that finding the right property is a great experience for everyone! She has a keen understanding that one size does not fit all, and truly listens to the needs of her clients! We recently went through a purchase that was so flawless, I can't even begin to put into words how wonderful it was! We had to search and we looked at several properties, but at the end of the day we found what we wanted and Kim was a solid advisor and leader in helping us get our transaction closed! If you want someone who is native to the Napa Valley, understands how to work with any budget and any family size... Then look no further! Kim will make your experience one to remember and you will close the deal as friends!/em>" - Gary T.

★★★★★
"Kim did an excellent job listing and selling my home. She came prepared with a professional marketing plan which generated a lot of interest in my property as soon as it was listed. She held 2 open houses, complete with French music, to complement my decor. My home was sold within 3 weeks at top dollar. I worked with Kim again when I was searching in Napa and Solano Counties for my next home where she looked daily for listings and took me to see dozens of properties. She found my forever home and negotiated successfully in spite of multiple offers. Kim is very detail oriented, patient, and devoted to her clients. She listens and sticks to client’s wish lists. She is an excellent agent for selling or finding the perfect home./em>" - Beverly C.

"Kim was a wealth of knowledge and exceptional when it came to the whole sales process. She guided us from beginning to end and made everything really simple. Anytime I wanted info she got it to me within hours!! We really wanted this house and with her help we bought it within 5 days of it being listed!!!!/em>" - Davide C.

★★★★★
"Kim is wonderfully professional and enthusiastic! I wanted to put in a bid on a condo in Yountville. She gave me comps, sliced and diced many ways to help me with me bid. The bid was submitted the next day. Unfortunately, I, embarrassingly, asked her to withdraw it the following day. She was extremely professional and courteous about it. I would use her in a heart beat if I’m in the market again. But since I’m not right now, I’m referring her to all of you!/em>" - Babs C.

★★★★★
"Our family relocated from Texas to California. Two very different markets! We met with about five different realtors but ended up choosing Kim because... she was the best. She always had time to show us houses no matter where they were. She answered all our questions with the utmost honesty and knowledge. Sent us great spreadsheets about the areas and neighborhoods we were looking at. If we needed a roofer to look at a house for us, she found us one. Anything we needed she was there. And she isn’t pushy and sales-y, but she knows her stuff! She definitely made our relocation to California easy!/em>" - Happy Buyer

★★★★★
"Kim is AWESOME! She is knowledgeable, hard working and was there for us every step of the way. In a very competitive market, our bid was accepted and the sellers told us the reason was Kim. Even though other buyers bid more money, the sellers accepted our bid because of the great terms Kim suggested and the professionally prepared offer. The seller’s agent said Kim did great research and sellers felt comfortable entering into contract with us as a result. Our realtor got us the house! How often does that happen? Kim knows her stuff and goes the extra mile for her clients!/em>" - Kelly V.
