Shelly Holcomb– Seller & Buyer
She is ethical, smart, direct, kind, extremely knowledgeable and competent. My husband and I trusted her guidance in every step of the process to sell our house and in finding our new home. She staged our home for free, paid for a professional photographer and hired an amazing handyman to assist with our landscaping project, all of which resulted in 21 offers in 2.5 days!

Hey, This Petite, Lovely, Dynamo, Kathy, Is The Real Estate Genie
Hey, this petite, lovely, dynamo, Kathy, is the real estate genie! I was tasked with selling my mother-in-law's condo. Kathy guided me through an estate sale, clearing the remainder, managing garbage, updating the condo- repainting, new flooring, etc., and cleaning it spic and span. After that, she helped me fulfill all the inspection requirements. This stuff was so much to handle from the distance that I live, I faltered often! She never pressured me to rush, but kept me motivated. Kathy really went above and beyond helping me through. She gave me incredible sound guidance and real estate advice. When I finally listed, she sold the condo in less than 3 days with a super offer. She even guided me through the closing and wrap up. I cannot recommend her more highly as a professional realtor. You cannot list or search for your new home with a better caring professional. She will go an extra 100 miles for you.. Kathy, I could not have done it without you, I am so grateful!
Response from Kathy Young
WOW! Real Estate Genie huh! Thank you so much for this raving review, Janet. I am so pleased your hard work and our collaboration benefited your beloved family member. Please know I too admired your dedication, integrity, energy, and intellect as we moved through the various stages of selling your mother-in-law’s property. I look forward to future contact.

Kathy Was The 1st Realtor We Were 100% Satisfied With!
Kathy was the 1st realtor we were 100% satisfied with. She goes above and beyond what is required of her. She comes prepared from the initial interview process to the closing. She is very knowledgeable with the current housing market and pricing your home to attract the most views. Our home sold in 1 day over asking price. Kathy kept us well informed on all aspects of the sale. She was always available and responded quickly to calls or texts. I would highly recommend her for your real-estate needs. We would absolutely use her again.
Response from Kathy Young
It was a delight to work on behalf of you and Mike. I appreciate both of you. We all rolled our sleeves up (including Mark) and prepared for market in record time. Hope you enjoying your recent move. Hope to keep in touch.

Kathy Remained Very Positive And Determined When We Encountered Some Stumbling Blocks
I feel very blessed in partnering with Kathy Young as my realtor in selling my home. Kathy spent a great deal of time prepping my home with her beautiful soft staging of pictures, small pieces of furniture and decorations. She took the time to do ongoing comparative market analysis to ensure my house was set at a competitive price. I very much appreciated Kathy keeping me apprised to the step-by-step process in the selling of my home, as this was a new experience for me. Kathy remained very positive and determined when we encountered some stumbling blocks. I felt reassured by her expertise, wisdom, and compassionate ears during this entire selling process. She always knew how to put my mind at ease with her troubleshooting of any issues that would arise. I highly recommend Kathy as she is so easy to work with and is determined to get the job done well! I am one very satisfied and happy customer. 🙂
Response from Kathy Young
Laura, you are one of the most-kindest humans on this earth. It was my honor to be a part of your home selling experience. Saying goodbye to a home that you and your husband built and raised your children in over so many years can be quite stirring, all the while graciously welcoming the new buyers and working hard to ensure they were purchasing a well-cared home – right up to the day of closing. I am excited for your new home and am looking forward to breaking bread with you, once you get all settled in.

This Is The First Time We’ve Worked With Kathryn, But Won’t Be The Last!
This is the first time we’ve worked with Kathryn, but won’t be the last!
Kathryn was extremely helpful and attentive from start to finish. Our dad’s condo needed lots of work before we could sell it and she was so helpful with getting us in touch with the right people to get everything done at great prices. When it was time to list it, Kathryn figured out the correct price point to get us the most value and best buyer for our condo!! Thank you sooo much Kathryn!!!
Response from Kathy Young
Thanks Rob! I really appreciate you taking the time to leave a review, and such a nice one at that. It was a pleasure to work alongside you in preparing your father’s unit for the market. You were dedicated in accomplishing whatever was necessary to yield the best outcome. I am happy to have met you and am looking forward to a continued relationship.

We have asked Kathy to work with us in both buying and selling over the past 5 years and couldn’t be happier with anyone else. She is professional, knowledgeable, and is a pleasure to work with. Our last listing had an offer in 2 days above our asking price and we are grateful for the quick sale. Kathy goes above and beyond her role as a realtor and we appreciate all the hard work she does. Thank you, Kathy, we are very happy to have you as our realtor and friend.
Response from Kathy Young
Julie and Ron, thank you for your business and friendship. Little did I know when you purchased my listing upon your return from out of state five plus years ago, that we would become good friends. Between then and now, we have shared many memorable moments. I am happy our paths crossed. Also, grateful you call upon me with all your real estate needs.

We Would Certainly Work With Her Again.
We just completed the sale of our condo with Kathy. She is an incredible source of information from market comparisons, to staging, to suggestions on low cost enhancements, and financing considerations. The feedback from open house to offers, to final sale were helpful in the sale. We would certainly work with her again.
Response from Kathy Young
After assisting you with the purchase of your new home, I was so appreciative of your trust and confidence in hiring me to handle the sale of your existing home. Your willingness to strategize and optimize various marketing methods brought us to a good place. You and Renay are lovely people. Glad we met. Will stay in touch.

She Is Always There With Sage Advice, But She Gives You Room To Make Decisions On Your Own.
Our family is just completing our fifth transaction with Kathy. She is very attentive to her work and extremely well versed in both real estate sales and real estate purchases. We have worked with her on both sides. When selling your home, she meets with you to discuss the comps so you can see a range for the sale price. After you have set your price, she advises you on how to prepare your home for the sale, stages your home ( if needed), places signs to emphasize the positive features of the home and sets a date to list it. She then plans to start your sales period with an open house and showings. In our most recent transaction, a sales, our properly priced home took in two at or above offers in three days. I attribute that to the attention and expertise that Kathy offers. Her work doesn’t stop there. She led us through the transaction to the closing with her continued knowledge and compassion. We plan to use Kathy for two more sales in the next year. She was just as knowledgeable, competent and compassionate in the purchase of our Michigan homes. She is always there with sage advice, but she gives you room to make decisions on your own
Response from Kathy Young
Pam, thank you so much for such a stellar review. I can’t express to you
just how much it has enriched me personally and how much it has meant to me professionally to be your realtor. Getting to know you and
Dave, as well as, your children and grandchildren over the last few years during these buying and selling milestones has moved us beyond the client relationship. I now count you and yours as friends. It has been a privilege and honor to help you with your real estate needs and I am
excited to keep in touch with your family, especially as you embark on this new adventure. Will definitely come for a visit, once you get settled in.

We worked together to narrow our field of condos and locations. Kathy kept us informed with choices as the opportunities arrived and always came prepared with HOA's information and market value. We had an awesome experience with her.

I Had The Good Fortune Of Dealing With Kathy Young
I had the good fortune of dealing with Kathy Young recently to help me sell my elderly father’s co-op unit. I live about 200 miles away so was not always available to do the ‘little things’ which are ‘big things’ when it comes to presenting a property for sale. Kathy was always very prompt and responsive. She gave me suggestions on what to do/not do and options on whether to re-paint/remodel or sell ‘as-is’. I went with the re-model and Kathy helped me pick out paint, carpeting, flooring and even went to the store to buy an oven for me! Her staging of the co-op was exceptional and I am sure it helped make the sale happen faster. Our sale had some unique circumstances, and Kathy was always on top of things. She helped educate and inform me about the process and to keep me ‘on task’ with what I needed to do. Kathy provided great service and support. Overall, the sale was a very pleasant and professional experience and I enjoyed the personal interaction with her as well and would recommend Kathy to anyone.
Response from Kathy Young
Ken, first let me share how much I admire the devotion you exhibited toward your father during the entire process and your willingness to do whatever it took to enhance the outcome of the sale. It was a great honor to work alongside you to help get the job done. Thank you for your faith in hiring me and for this delightful review.

Unfailingly Friendly and Caring Professionalism Characterizes Kathy Young's Practice.
Unfailingly friendly and caring professionalism characterizes Kathy Young's practice. My mother had a series of accidents and became unable to safely live on her own anymore. She was forced to sell the condo that she loved. Kathy made a challenging situation so much better by offering the chance to make an offer to two prospective buyers before it even went on the market. She helped us get the condo ready to show and staged it perfectly. We had two offers above the purchase price on the first day and closed within 10 days! Kathy was endlessly patient and kindhearted with our questions and concerns and she walked us through the entire process from start to finish. She is an absolute treasure to work with and we can't recommend her enough. If you are looking for a whip smart realtor who knows the market and will do the hard work to sell your house, Kathy will exceed your expectations.
Response from Kathy Young
Thank you for your trust and confidence in hiring me and for this striking review, Nik! It was my great honor to work with you and with your mother during this challenging time. I so admire the persistence and determination you demonstrated through the whole process. I intend to stay in touch with both of you and wish you both good things in your futures.

She Made A Stressful Time Easier To Get Through With Her Humor And Kindhearted Demeanor
Kathy Young is an amazing realtor. From the day we told her we wanted to list our condo with her to the day we signed an offer was ONLY 9 Days! She gave us undivided attention and communicated with us every step along the way. Her skill in staging suggestions was invaluable. Her plan to start with a “Coming Soon” listing first before the first day of showings worked very well. We had 9 showings in 2 days and from those we had 5 offers! Kathy’s knowledge in helping us see the pros and cons of each offer was invaluable. She was always looking for ways to help us. In addition to her skills as a realtor, Kathy was a joy to work with. She made a stressful time easier to get through with her humor and kindhearted demeanor. We highly recommend Kathy Young. You will not be disappointed.
Response from Kathy Young
WHEW! WE did it! It took the three of us (Bob, You, Me) but we made it happen in record time. From the time you texted me from the airport that Wednesday that you had decided to move out of state to be closer to the kids until the Friday we left closing was only 23 days! AMAZING. I so enjoyed being a part of this exciting transition. It was challenging but so much fun too. The three of us had a great time getting the home ready for market, showing it off, and then choosing the perfect buyer to start her new chapter as you two bid your farewell. Please know I will stay in touch!

You Truly Are The Best At Your Craft, With A Heart Of Gold!
My mother passed recently and my brother and I were faced with the difficult time and process to sell her condo. It was extremely tough for us to have to sell. That was a place our families and relatives shared so many experiences. As they say, “home is where your mom is”. There were so many fond memories of birthdays, holidays, life experiences and difficult times through her illness. Our journey toward selling our mom’s condo was very emotional, but we got through it with great success because we had you, Kathy Young by our side all the way. You have to be one of the most diligently communicative professionals I’ve ever worked with. We’re so grateful for the effort you put in to keeping us informed and updated on a daily basis, and were always there at the drop of a hat if we had concerns. Your marketing skills, negotiation skills and attention to detail made the process easy and lucrative for us, and we couldn’t be happier we chose you to list our mom’s condo. Thank you for going above and beyond what any realtor would probably even think of or consider spending their time on . . . like when we found out the attorney who my mom paid 3 years ago to have a Ladybird Will done, never filed it – you went to her home and picked up the necessary documentation so we could avoid probate, you hired a painter who painted the entire condo in less than 2 days (and was very affordable), and the list goes on and on. From start to finish, you had her condo sold in a week which was a blessing as my brother did not have to keep going there day after day checking up on it, that was heartbreaking for him. Your hard work, patience and emotional understanding, diligence along every turn in the road is greatly appreciated and will never be forgotten. Thank you also for going above and beyond what any realtor do, i.e. to the last minute setting up a separate closing so my brother did not have to sit in that process. You are truly the best at your craft with a heart of gold!
Response from Kathy YoungDenise, thank you so very, very much for such a sincere, genuine review. We came to know one another by way of a painful experience. As your realtor, my hope was to take as much of the heavy lifting off you and yours as I could. During this process, I got to know you and my life was enriched by doing so. I look forward to a continued relationship.

I Could Not Have Done This Without Kathy!
Me and my sister asked Kathy at a very emotional time to sell our Mom's condo. Kathy handled it with all the professionalism, love and understanding. She goes above and beyond during the process. She gives you minimum 100%. We felt the love from her going through the process. She was so caring and understanding...Thanks Kathy, we appreciated all you did and how you were there for us at any time. We can't say enough. Kathy...you're a forever friend, and family
Response from Kathy Young
Mark, saying goodbye to your Mom’s condo was a very painful experience. I felt very honored to be called up to assist you with each step during the transaction and very importantly to be able to offer whatever aid I could to you and yours through your personal journey related to "the why" you were selling. You are a dear friend and treasure to all who know you.

Kathy is amazing. We decided to sell our home with the goal if moving closer to our grandchildren. We were given Kathy's name, contacted her and that was the best decision we could have made. We have sold and purchased a few times before. This was different. Kathy is hard working, pays attention to details and knows what it takes to get it done. She helped us clear and stage our home. We were booked solid with showings even before it officially went on the market. Our home sold in 3 days, we had 12 offers, all above asking. This process was easy with Kathy explaining everything along the way. Could not say enough about how blessed we were to have her help us! Highly recommended.

You Can Tell She Loves Her Work
My husband and I were first referred to Kathy by my cousins, who knew of her. That was back in 2018 when we were looking for a lake house. I feel very fortunate to have been introduced to her. Over many months of searching and looking in many areas, we finally settled on a cottage on White Lake. Kathy was very diligent in our search. She sure put in miles on her car and many, many days of hard work. Kathy skills in our home search were top notch. Then, when it was time for our daughter and son-in-law to move to Royal Oak, they contacted her. They were very happy with the work she did for them. Now, we are about to close on a new home in Royal Oak with Kathy’s expertise. This has also been a very long search with Kathy by our side the entire time. Kathy knows real estate inside and out and always has our best interests at heart. You can tell she loves her work.
Response from Kathy Young
I feel privileged to have been on these journeys with you and yours and am grateful your cousin referred you to me. Working to find you just the right lake house and then later, as you relocated from Texas, to also find you your primary residence close to your kids/grandkids in Royal Oak was such an stimulating, thought-provoking, and rewarding experience. Through it all, you and your family have moved beyond the agent/client relationship and have become friends. Thanks for your continued confidence.

Kathy went the extra mile. Most real estate agents ignore you once they’ve secured the listing. Kathy helped us empty the house, let in cleaners, and secured fast and affordable painters. She had good recommendations and outstanding knowledge of the community. She stayed in communication always and very promptly returned all calls, texts, and emails. She was organized and prompt. She was willing to check up on the house for us after showings and to hold open houses frequently. In sum, Kathy was hardworking and excellent.
Response from Kathy Young
Thank You Stephanie! I know you interviewed other realtors and I was so honored when you phoned to tell me you had decided to list your condo with me. I am so grateful for your trust in me. You and Alan worked in partnership with me to prepare the condo for market and I appreciated your confidence. Through this process, I have gained new friendships. Please stay in touch.

Dino DePaolis – Seller
I enlisted Kathy to sell my co-op in Brighton and it sold in 6 days in a slowing real estate market. Kathy’s knowledge, advice, and hard work is a big reason it sold so quickly. I had known Kathy for a while before I decided to sell my unit because she had been so active in the sale of many units in our complex. Her detailed knowledge and familiarity of the building details and association made it an easy decision for me to leverage her services when I decided to sell in 2022. Many months before I put my unit for sale, I consulted with her regarding what updates my “significantly outdated” unit needed to make it more marketable. She provided many common sense and cost effective ideas and I also added a few of my own. The end result after months of my hard work was that my unit was wonderfully updated and ready for sale in November. At that time Kathy skillfully staged my unit with accessories further enhancing its marketability. The result is that, in a slowing market, the first person that made an appointment to see my unit offered very close to asking price which quickly lead to a sale. Furthermore, throughout the sales process Kathy communicated with me often and promptly addressed any questions or concerns I had up to and including closing. In summary, I was very happy customer and would highly recommend you reach out to Kathy and consult with her regarding your local real estate market needs.
Response from Kathy Young
What a great review Dino! Thank you so much! It has been a great experience working with you. I am happy to know you were pleased with the services you received. It was great to work with a client that put forth such a commitment for ensuring a good result.

I Hired Her Because She Knew The Details of Selling The Co-op Condos in The Association.
Kathy was very helpful and she definitely went the extra mile. I hired her because she knew the details of selling the coop condos in the association. She helped with staging my condo for sale. She even drove to my condo after a showing to turn off all the lights since I work late. I am glad I hired someone who knew the details of selling my type of property.
Response from Kathy Young
I so enjoyed getting to know you Lynnette. I admire your level headed and down to earth approach to your real estate transaction and to life in general. You’re both optimistic and realistic. One of the reasons I love real estate so much is the wonderful people that cross my path. Looking forward to staying in touch!
