Testimonials
Kate is a fabulous agent! extremely professional. She really cared about getting back to us in a timely manner. She was fabulous with docusign and made selling our house as easy as it could be even though it was a complicated sale. She explained everything well and even stayed in our house when movers came as we were out of town. We would hire her again.

Kate came in to sell our home after our mother passed away. Once we were ready to put it on the market, she had everything ready to go immediately. She responded immediately to my questions or concerns, even when I wasn't expecting to hear from her until the next day. She did a wonderful job selling the home quickly and negotiating everything for us. I really feel she went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly, even with the quick escrow. I would use her again anytime.

I have bought and sold 3 houses in my lifetime and I have never been so impressed with any realty as I am with Kate Wells. She is honorable, honest and you might say Johnny on the spot. She Never just leaves me hanging and always keeps me posted of any and all update no matter what time of the day or night it might be....Selling a house is very stressful and she has made it as pleasurable as possible I would and will refer her to everyone I know

I didn't know much about Kate or buying real estate before this purchase. This was my first home so a lot of firsts for me. I was definitely out of my element. I have dealt with realtors before for office space and other projects, but nothing from start to finish for myself. I was immediately impressed with how responsive Kate was to every request I had. She seemed to know before I did what I wanted. At first I wondered why she didn't ask me more questions in the beginning, but I quickly realized it was because she already had it all figured out.
My real estate purchase was not a simple one as it goes. We had a lot of snags along the way (outside of Kate's domain). Kate dealt with each one in stride, taking full control over each step with calmness and grace. She and I knew we had a few obstacles going into it, but we didn't know the level of difficulty it was going to reach. She stuck with it with resoluteness and aplomb, never showing defeat or irritation. In fact, Kate made me feel like I was her only client, her only project in life. While I knew this not to be true, she had the ability to make my purchase seem like the most important thing in the world. She treated the project and me first class at every turn. From morning, noon to night she was at the ready to meet, to talk, to strategize. She always had a plan and was five steps ahead of me. I deal with a lot of professionals and I'm not used to such service and capability.
I will definitely work with Kate again when I get the chance. I'm also happy to say that my escrow closed and I am a homeowner of a fantastic gem that Kate found for me the day it went on the market. That wouldn't be true if I didn't work with Kate. I know I would have lost the deal if she didn't keep it alive with her energy, tenacity and care. At the end of the day, Kate really cares about her projects. She wants it as much as you do. That's why she's top notch.

Kate is so prompt and efficient that we decided to call her "No Wait Kate". She is one of the most professional real estate agents we have ever dealt with. She showed us exactly what we were looking for, and once we made our decision, she connected us with an outstanding escrow company and a mortgage lender who were very easy to deal with. This will not be the last time we use her services, and we highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to list or to purchase a home.

I would like to recommend Kate Wells, (no relation) to anyone seeking a highly qualified professional, yet personal realtor. In August 2013 our condo went into escrow, and we had not found a new home. In the interim, we decided to rent, so I started looking in earnest. After a couple of days, it became clear this would be more difficult than we thought. I reached out to friends, and a buddy recommended Kate, so I called and we chatted briefly about my situation. WOW! After a couple of hours Kate had assembled and emailed a list of prospective rentals that met our criteria. In short order, we secured a rental that met our needs, and the stress was gone. After this experience, its obvious to me that Kate is not only skilled at her work, but loves the job too. Kate's the type of person I'd want representing me.

I am more than happy to recommend Kate Wells to anyone who needs a knowledgable, responsive, professional, and personable realtor. Kate will definitely work hard and do everything she can to make sure that you get what you want. You cannot go wrong by choosing Kate as your realtor.

If you are searching for a realtor, you can stop searching. My wife and I have sold a number of houses, with some very good agents. Kate stands head and shoulders above them all.
We were living in another state when we listed our home with Kate. She handled every aspect of getting our home ready to sell, and we had an offer right in our targeted range within a week. She was always available, and quickly followed through on everything we need to successfully close the sale.

Kate is a miracle worker!!! I was doing a 1031 Exchange from Pennsylvania and you have to find a property within 45 days and close within 180 days. To make matters worse, I couldn't be in California to do any of the search. Kate found me the perfect property the day we first spoke on the phone, she inspected it the next day, I placed an offer that was accepted and we closed within three weeks! She handled all the details with no hesitation and worked tirelessly to make sure everything fell into place with no hitches. I now have a beautiful rental property and an even more precious new friend.

We used Kate Wells recently to purchase a home in a neighborhood that is very sought after and highly competitive to buy a home in. Our experience with her was outstanding. She was very effective at getting us exactly what we wanted and extremely professional and helpful with all the details along the way. It was an A plus experience! We were so happy with her performance and the overall experience that we had her sell our home that we had owned for many years afterwards. Again, our experience was excellent. She was able to get us a great buyer and she got us several thousand dollars over asking!. I would not hesitate to use her again for my real estate needs and highly recommend her without hesitation.

Upon looking into a new beach front property my family and I found there was much we didnt know about the area and the types of properties we were searching for. When I teamed up with Ms. Wells, she showed us the way to a happy home. We found exactly what we were looking for and we ended up with a gorgeous beach front property with extensive views of the ocean from nearly anywhere in the house. Our home with a modern interior became a focal point of many gatherings. Which only became so because of her positive connections with many contractors,engineers, and interior designers. When my family decided to move she swiftly organized high end photographers to display our home. She then had us in a new home faster than we thought possible and we will definitely be doing buisness with her again soon. There is no one better suited for her position.

Kate is absolutely the best. Extremely professional and responsive - we felt like I was in the best of hands. Not only is she completely competent but a joy to work with. She had great knowledge about the coastal commission, oceanfront engineers and the oceanfront contractors that build seawalls. My husband and I are looking for our first home so we don't know much about the process but Kate sat down and explained the process to us. While we didn't move ahead with the house - we will definitely use her services in the future! Highly recommend working with Kate!

Kate was my advocate and guide in the Encinitas area.I was living in Los Angeles and had to move to San Diego- North County for a career change.undaunted by my immediacy to move, she showed me hand-picked home for my needs. However, she had realized that for me, it wasn't a good time to buy. She advised me to rent, and and found the place I live in now. She is professional, conscientious and kind. In my experience, she is willing to look past me as just a business transaction. In this crazy San Diego real estate world,She will be my agent when I buy.

I have never worked with a better realtor than Kate Wells! I am currently in the market for a new home and have had the pleasure of having Kate as my realtor. She has made herself 100% available to me and my search for the perfect home. Kate is very dedicated to her clients because she is willing to work 24/7 which she has proven to me since I am from out of state and on a completely different time zone. Thank you Kate! Cant wait to see the homes you have found in my next trip to CA.
