  • Kendra listed and sold my home

      Imagine that you’ve finally signed on the dotted line to move across the country… in about 8 weeks. Your house is a mess. It’s not updated. You have a boatload of work to do at your job between now and then, and you don’t have time to deal with any of this. You need to sell your house to buy something to move in to, and you just want to scream. Call Kendra. Just do it. She came over to my house the very next day (in its messy disaster state) and told me exactly what I had to do to get it ready. We came up with a game plan and a timeline together so that I’d be able to get the most money I could for my house, and close in plenty of time to buy something else before moving. About a week later, she came over again. She said it was to go over the contract, but it was really to check up on my progress. Cause that’s the kind of organized person she is. We went over the contract line by line in lay person English. A couple of days before the house went on the market, Kendra noticed that the prices in my area had moved up. She suggested we increase the asking price. I’m going to be honest— I thought she was nuts. But we did it anyway. And let me tell you, dear reader, the house went for 20k over the new asking price. Escrow was so so smooth and easy. Kendra never let me forget to do anything, and answered all of my questions. By the way, she’ll answer at all hours of the day or night. (I assume she does sleep, though I don’t have evidence of it.) When we closed, she came over to congratulate me in person. She legitimately just cares that much about her clients. So, in summary, if you want someone who is going to save your rear end on a last minute sale, who is going to make sure you stay on track, who is going to make you BANK, who knows the answers to all problems, who is ULTRA responsive, and who is also an amazing human being, call Kendra. I promise that you won’t regret it.

        Kendra has helped me buy and sell two different homes. She is the best person one could ever hope to work with while navigating the process of buying or selling a home. She is meticulous, knowledgeable, and responsive in all matters.

      • Kendra helped me buy a home

          In a very competitive market you definitely want the best realtor and I can say with 100% confidence, Kendra is the best! She is knowledgeable, responsive, patient, honest and transparent in her approach. She is tenacious and a true problem solver and makes any obstacle feel like it's scalable with ease. She is supportive and goes that extra mile by really getting to know you and what you're looking for, even if you have no clue as to what you want! She does this by asking specific questions and honing in on what you like. Her attention to detail and organization helped us find the house of our dreams and made the process of buying a house enjoyable! Having Kendra in our corner made all the difference in the world and we will use her in the future if we ever need to buy or sell again.

            • Kendra listed and sold my home

                Hands down, Kendra is an excellent realtor. Her professional style and knowledge of real estate as well as California law is outstanding. Communication is key in her work ethic. Even at our first meeting she was able to answer my questions and put my mind at ease. We met for several hours so that she could establish my expectations and also teach me what I needed to know to prepare my house for sale. From the very beginning I felt assured that she was listening to my wishes and genuinely cared. She remained vigilant throughout the process. Kendra called every day to keep me up to date on progress, any changes or just to check in to see how I was doing. There were never any surprises. She worked diligently on my behalf and I am grateful. Selling a house is not an easy venture but Kendra made it uncomplicated. Kendra has the ability to make you feel like you are her most important client and I would undoubtedly recommend her as a superior real estate agent.

              • If you are looking to buy or sell your home, I highly recommend Kendra to assist you along the way. We first met Kendra during one of her open houses. We, as a family, enjoy viewing open houses as a way to see the available possibilities. At that time, we have not done any preliminary paperwork for a loan pre-approval so we did not know what our price range might be or if we will even be approved for a home loan. Kendra provided us with a contact information for a loan broker.After contacting the broker, we were pre-approved for a home loan so the search for our home began. We looked at a few properties until we found the home that we purchased. Kendra was very accommodating and extremely helpful with everything. She responded to phone calls, emails, and texts immediately. She was a great communicator of anything that was coming up and any paperwork that needed to be completed.Now, in order for the home buying/selling experience to be a pleasant/easy going (I know that seems to be contradictory), you as a client also have to do your part. She can only guide you and remind you to complete paperwork but you have to complete all necessary documents as they come along (that means no procrastinating). The harder the work that you do in the beginning with submitting/completing documents, the easier the flow will be in the end.We love working with Kendra. I dont think you can find any agent that is more dedicated and committed to providing you with the best possible experience in your home buying/selling experience than her.From my family, we are sincerely and infinitely thankful to Kendra for helping us find our home and for providing a wonderful overall experience during a rather tedious event in our lives.Kendra, in the words of my daughter, you rock!Mona, Anthony, Toni, and Thor

I highly recommend giving Kendra Bates a call.Kendra helped us through every step of the purchase process. She was always happy to answer any questions and provided us with regular updates throughout.If I ever purchase another home I will call her. And I would recommend her to anyone who might be considering buying or selling a property.

              • Strongly recommend Kendra Bates if you are buying or selling a house in San Diego. My husband and I were 3,000 miles away when we began our house hunt. Kendra educated us on all of the potential areas and narrowed down hundreds of listings (that met our base requirements) into a manageable number based on her knowledge of the area. When we finally made it out to San Diego to see the potential listings in person we were completely wowed and impressed with Kendra's ability to walk through a house, without having seen it in advance, and identify all of the pros and cons, and areas that would need to be addressed. Further, she deftly managed a very difficult offer, negotiation, and escrow process on our dream home. I cannot recommend her enough! Her knowledge, expertise, patience, and ability to skillfully negotiate complicated real estate processes is outstanding!

              • I can't recommend Kendra highly enough. I'd been looking in a highly competitive market with another agency for 6+ months and lost out on several properties. Since I hadn't signed a contract with that agency, I decided to switch over to Kendra since it was evident from my research that she was very knowledgeable about one of the complexes that I was interested in. Within two weeks, Kendra helped me to win my dream home.The level of professionalism that Kendra demonstrated was incredible. She was, as expected, incredibly knowledgeable about the neighborhood. But beyond that, she was very responsive, pleasant to work with, and knowledgeable about the process of buying a home. I am a single working mom and always short on time; having someone that was able to reliably coordinate with the lender, escrow company, and various inspectors was a huge help.I loved working with Kendra; even after we closed she followed up to make sure that we were completely happy in our new place. You won't find any agent that is more dedicated and committed to providing you with the best possible buying/selling experience.

              • I was so lucky to have found and to elect Kendra as my real state agent. She was 100% responsive and extremely knowledgeable about the whole home purchase process. Making the long story short, Kendra basically "hold my wife and I by the hands" and taught us all basics and pitfalls of the home purchase. She embraced our expectations (and financial limitations) and was able to find quite a few options in a very short period of time (even with such a shortage of inventory and a very competitive buying market according to my budget). She also took care of all inspections needed, by contacting very reliable companies and personnel promptly. Moreover, she introduced us to a very professional and reliable contractor (Scott Deddo) who is taking good care of some major fixes at our new home. Even after finalizing all purchase process, whenever a question comes up related our new home, I text Kendra and she is there for us! Without any hesitation, I fully recommend her services.

              • Kendra was awesome and helped us find our home in Ramona. She was with us every step of the way, Her advice on offers and counter offers were spot on. Her communication throughout the entire transaction was incredible. When we are ready to sell and/or buy another home, Kendra will be the only agent we call!

                - Scott Roscoe
              • Kendra was all we could ask for! She was on every detail that we had completely forgotten or not even thought about! She helped us from over 3000 miles away find our perfect home! When we arrived, Kendra was down to show us a million homes a day and even brought snacks! Seriously best ever! If you dont go with Kendra....you crazy!!!!
