ā€œExcellent! Katie & Sparky went above and beyond in all aspects of the sale of our home. They are extremely reliable, easy to work with and get the job done. They are the best!ā€œ

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
ā€œKatie and Sparky make an amazing team. They helped us purchase a home in San Marcos while we lived in Folsom, CA. Katie listened to what we desired in a home and found several near-perfect matches. Sparky went home by home and did video walkthrough for us since we were not local. This helped us in making a decision on the home we purchased. They were patient and cared about us and what was the right fit for our family. I highly recommend them to anyone. If they can find us (I am super picky) a perfect home, they can find you one too. They were always available, even on weekends and holidays and never made me feel like I was a bother. ā€œ

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
ā€œWe cannot express enough gratitude in one review for Katie and Sparky! Katie is the most professional, friendly, and hard working agent! As this was our first time buying, she was so very informative and helpful throughout the whole process! She was extremely transparent and honest with every little detail in the stressful process of purchasing a home!!! Every question answered immediately and in detail; Always held our best interests as priority number one! We got the house of our dreams even with other offers on the table and it was all because of the incredible negotiating skills, professionalism, and attention to detail of these two! They go over and beyond for their clients and make themselves available whenever they are needed. I highly recommend the Pond Team to anyone who is looking for their forever home! ā€œ

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
ā€œI appreciated Sparky & Katie's honesty, positive attitude and their hard work. But what I appreciated most is that they took care of many of the important details in selling my " fixer upper" house I either didn't have the time or the expertise to handle. They did everything from arranging for a contractor to fix the home, a roofer to do repairs, a handyman to fix the fence, a termite company to tent the house and a furniture company to stage it. And she always endeavored to get me the best price. In short they went way beyond " selling" the house. They managed the whole process of refurbishing it and then selling it. On another note, when negotiations seemed like they might stall, Katie was there with a well thought our compromise which got the negotiations going again. A realtor doesn't get any better than Sparky & Katie Pond!ā€œ

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
ā€œ5 stars are not enough to express how impressed I am with the service provided by Sparky and Katie Pond. For me, they represent the epitome of what a Real Estate Professional should be. They are standouts in their field because of their honesty and integrity, and at every point along the way, they took the extra steps necessary to make sure that our sale process was smooth and actually pleasant. They were always diligent about keeping me informed, and when I had questions, they quickly provided knowledgeable answers. I was amazed and pleased when their negotiation skills resulted in a higher sale price. In conclusion, I'd also like to say that this hard-working team consists of two very nice people who were always a pleasure to interact with. Thank you, Katie and Sparky!ā€œ

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
ā€œWe just closed escrow on a property we owned in San Marcos. Katie Pond, who was our listing agent, was extremely attentive and a pleasure to work with. I've worked with various real estate agents over the years and have yet to find one who was on top of everything like Katie was. I felt as if I was her only client. She kept me appraised of every step of escrow with emails and phone calls. I highly recommend her and her staff.ā€œ
