“Katherine, I wanted to thank you again for all your help during this process and for the wonderful housewarming gift. I really appreciated that you were on top of everything and actively involved throughout the entire process. I also appreciated that you attended all the walk-through sessions and set-up the foundation company inspection so quickly. Your assistance was greatly appreciated during this stressful and hectic time for our family. I would definitely recommend you as an agent to family, friends, or anyone just looking for a home. If we were to ever need a realtor again, I would not hesitate to employ your services again, although Sarah says we will die in this house. Again, thank you very much.”

Katherine's knowledge and understanding of the real estate business set my mind at ease. When faced with various issues presented by the seller and my mortgage company, Katherine was able to quickly and easily handle each problem presented to her while maintaining her professionalism. It was her dedication to my purchase, and her prompt response to each issue that made my first home purchase a great experience. I am happy to have a realtor on whom I can rely and would wholeheartedly recommend Katherine to my family and friends.”

“Katherine Smith set the bar very high for Burns & Company. The most pleasant part about working with Katherine with the sale of our home was that she paid attention to the details and understood that buyers are interested in details. Katherine also helped us with the purchase our new home. It was obvious that she, and her company, took their job seriously, and they were a pleasure to work with.

"We would like to express our sincere appreciation to Katherine Smith/Realtor for Burns and Company. We first met Katherine at an Open House she was hosting. We were greeted with a warm smile and friendly hello. Her personality immediately put us at ease as we started asking questions about the home she was showing. She was so very knowledgeable about the property as well as all the other aspects that go along with searching for a home, such as financing, and the selling of our current home. We were really impressed with Katherine from a business standpoint, she talked in detail about the buying/selling process without any hesitation, she really knew her stuff. We soon came to realize that we wanted her to be our realtor. Katherine worked with us keeping us informed every step of the way. We appreciated her honesty and commitment to us during this process. Katherine really took a lot of the stress and worry about the buying/selling process away by always being accessible via phone, text or email. We cannot thank her enough for helping us find the perfect home." Paul and Tracy F.
