Kate Tomassi

  • Kate listed and sold my home

      My wife and I greatly enjoyed working with Kate and her partner Frances. As a team, they were confident, communicative and incredibly good on details and transaction process . Taken as a whole... these qualities helped us happily work through the sale process and ultimately achieve our financial goals. We simply cannot recommend them enough!

    • I want to express with great gratitude the service I received from Kate and Francis. I have worked with several real estate agents, but Kate and Francis stand out in their performance. They are very knowledgeable of the Glen Park/Noe Valley neighborhood real estate. They understand the current real estate market and helped me list my house with the correct asking price. They were so successful that I received 45% over my asking price. They were professional in all respects. My emails and phone calls were immediately responded to. It was a bonus to know that Kate had a legal background. I knew that all the Is would be dotted all the Ts crossed. And they were. All I can say is great team and great service.

    • Kate and Francis are an incredible team who brought a wide set of skills and boundless energy to go above and beyond in every way to make our sale happen.

    • Dear Kate and Francis,I can't begin to tell you how lucky I was to have had both of you assist me in the sale of my mother's home. Your good nature, frankness and knowledge of the situation left me assured that I had made the right decision in selecting you as my representatives. From the marketing to the selling you left no stone unturned. Your advice as to what needed to be or not to be done for the sale was explained to me in detail. Your complete thoroughness was evident in the fact that the home sold in one week! Somehow with both of you working all hours of the day and night you made the almost impossible possible and the possible a reality.Thank you for the ease you gave me in the process. It was both a pleasure and an honor to have worked with such enthusiastic and professional people. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

    • Jacquie and I owned a completely remodeled turn-of-the-century home in Sunnyside and thought it would be a good opportunity to sell after 40 years in the neighborhood. We knew nothing about the market or how to even begin to put our home on the market.From day one, Kate and Francis created a strategy that maximized the price point for our home. They were hands on during the whole process which included advising how to make our home ready to go on the market, arranging the staging company, setting up the inspection appointments, handling the many open house sessions, assisting with the long twisted road of paperwork and finalizing the bid process.Most importantly, Kate and Francis were always available to assuage our doubts/fears during the various stages of the sale and offer encouragement. Kate said from the beginning that this undertaking would be a roller coaster ride of highs and lows, but they would be in the car next to us for the whole ride. No truer words were ever spoken. Home sold as promised AND as a bonus, we now have new friends to visit us at our Discovery Bay home by the water.

    • Dear Kate and Francis,Im writing this letter as I prepare to pack up and move my entire life from one home to another. Although moving is always stressful, this move is also filled with joy. Thanks to your hard work and dedication, my husband and I sold our condo and are moving into our first single family home. Not only will we have more space for our family and friends, but this is the home in which we plan to start our family. As busy professionals, it was challenging for us to find the time to sit down with an agent and start the process. You both accommodated our challenging schedules right from the beginning. As we moved towards putting our condo on the market, we found we had many questions. Even though you are busy professionals and parents yourselves, you were always available to take our phone calls, even at 10pm on a Friday evening. We were nervous during the sale process, but you kept us calm by giving us the facts and making sure our expectations were high but still realistic. We were so thrilled to accept an offer from a wonderful couple that exceeded our expectations.With the sale completed at the right price, we moved on to the purchase. We found we had many more questions about this process, and the two of you continued to be patient and extremely available. You were honest with us about the potential downsides for some properties we saw, and helped us choose a neighborhood that is a fit for our lifestyle, and will continue to be so when we are parents a few years down the road. We are thrilled with our new home, and cannot wait to start our lives there.We could not be happier with the outcome of our sale and purchase. Not only were we successful in selling our condo and purchasing the single family home of our dreams, but we enjoyed the process. Francis, your easygoing personality and confidence helped make us comfortable as we navigated these unfamiliar waters. Kate, your high energy and background as a lawyer were indispensable when negotiating with both the buyer and seller we worked with. We will-and already have-recommended your services to our family and friends without a moments hesitation.Thank you Francis and Kate!

    • Francis and his partner Kate were absolutely great to work with. This was our fist time selling a home, and of course there are many moments of stress and uncertainty. Throughout the whole process, their skill, positive attitude and confidence in their profession made it all go very smoothly. We would highly recommend them to anyone who likes to sleep at night.
