Jean Troop - Buyer/Seller
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.
Response from Kathy Young
So pleased you were referred to me! What a pleasure it was to work on your behalf to sell your home. What a positive experience! Thanks for such a nice review! I appreciate your generous and kind words. Looking forward to popping by your new place very soon!

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.

Stephanie Gatlin – Seller
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.

Co-Op – Brighton $85,000
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.

Lynnette Foley – Seller
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!

She Answered All Of Our Questions and Concerns!
Kathy was extremely knowledgeable about the market we were selling in. She answered all of our questions and concerns. She was a pleasure to work with. If we ever have another property that we need to sell or buy Kathy will be our first call. Thank you again Kathy. You were an absolute joy to work with.
Thank you Kathy!!!!!
Response from Kathy Young
Thanks for such an excellent review, Bob. It was a joy to work with you and yours as well. And, I am certain the new owner appreciates the effort you and Sharon made to ensure the unit was left in such “move in” condition. And me, I appreciate your assistance in helping to manage the documents at closing (LOL).

She Went To Work Very Fast.
Kathy did an amazing job selling our condo! When we decided to sell and had spoken with Kathy, she went to work very fast. She came over and made sure things were ready for our condo pictures to be taken and they came out great. By the time it hit the market we had people lining up quickly to come walk through. Over the weekend we had 5 offers come in and it was sold extremely fast! Kathy walked us through the process step by step and kept us up to speed daily on what was happening. When we had questions Kathy was easily accessible and always very prompt. She took care of us extremely well and we felt very safe using her. She even scrounged up boxes to help us move! Haha! I would highly recommend Kathy Young to anyone looking to sell their place and to feel safe doing so. She made us feel like family to her. 🙂
Thank you Kathy!!!!!
Response from Kathy Young
Thanks so much for highly recommending me and thanks so much for the partnership your formed with me when selling your home. You worked diligently to prepare your home for the market, and then for all those showings, ensuring there was a place for everything and everything was in its place and then being thoughtful for visitors by putting lights on throughout the house for each showing. And thanks to your sweet dog who had to vacate his home during showings. I wish you the very best on your new journey.

Always Accessible Even Though She is Crazy Busy!
I chose Kathy to sell my condo because she had successfully sold other units in our co-op. I am so glad I did! Coops are different than your traditional real estate transactions and many Realtors aren’t familiar with how they are structured. I was impressed with how much knowledge Kathy had about them. She did a phenomenal job and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an agent to buy or sell. She was so easy to work with and always accessible even though she’s crazy busy. She made you feel like you were her most important client.
Response from Kathy Young
I am delighted Kathy to hear that you were impressed with my knowledge about Co-Op’s. I really, really appreciate that you took note that I worked hard to gain expertise in these types of transactions. I have enjoyed supporting sales at the Woodruff Lake Co-Ops and look forward to future endeavors. Meanwhile, I wish you the very best as you settle in to your new environment. I am glad we have come to know on another. Hope to stay in touch.

Kathy is Hard Working, Knowledgeable and Gets The Job Done!
Kathy is the most reliable and knowledgeable realtor we’ve had the pleasure to work with. We were on a 7-month search for a second home in the Holly/Fenton area and had already worked with another realtor. Kathy being able to step in was a godsend. She successfully worked with us over the past few months and got us through to closing on our dream summer home. Kathy is hard working, knowledgeable and gets the job done while always having your best interest at heart. It’s always a pleasure working with someone who is great at what they do but the cherry on top is that she is simply a fantastic person.
Response from Kathy Young
WE did it! I am excited that you found the home you were looking for. I so enjoyed working with you and Shawn and with Aunt Lori too of course. She was a wonderful proxy for those times when a home came on the market and you were out of state. Can’t wait to see the new home after you put your special touches to it. Looking forward to my first visit.

5 Gold Star Review! Kathy went above and beyond in the sale of my parents’ home. She got down to business with the very first phone call and never stopped, always keeping me informed of any updates throughout the entire transaction. You can tell that Kathy is very passionate about what she does and it truly shows in her work. Thank you for everything!!!!

I am so grateful that she was my realtor and I got the opportunity to work with her! Our journey was one of a kind! Kathy Young is the best!

Kathy is a True Gem!
Kathy is a true gem! She went WAY above and beyond what anyone would expect to help me sell my father’s home– all while I was living out of state. She really does her research and is honest and communicative about the whole process. She truly loves being a realtor and it shows — she puts her clients first and she will be on your side the whole way through. I can’t say enough good things about Kathy as both a realtor and a genuine, kind, caring person. Thank you!
Response from Kathy Young
I truly appreciate your trust in me to handle such an important matter for you and yours. I know if was a difficult decision. A special memory for me was getting to spend time together with your family during the preparatory phase of your home sale project, allowing us to really get to know one another better (WE did good, huh?). Looking forward to future encounters!

Response from Kathy Young
Laura, thank you for such a wonderful review. Your instincts for real estate certainly supported the process as we marketed and then secured a buyer for your two lots. It has been a great experience working with you as both a buyer and then as a seller. This forever realtor (LOL) is looking forward to assisting you with any future real estate needs, as well as, broadening the friendship that was born since our first real estate transaction.

The Wonder Woman of Real Estate!
To call Kathy “The Wonder Woman of Real Estate “ would be an understatement. Being a first time home seller, I was extremely nervous about the process, and fortunately, Kathy swooped in to save the day! Using her knowledge of the market, her keen eye for staging my home, and her unmatched professionalism, she completely eliminated all of my anxiety to help me get far more money for selling my home than I had ever anticipated! Aside from the business aspects of real estate, Kathy genuinely cares. She is an amazing woman and I highly recommend using her services for any and all of your real estate needs. Kathy Young truly should be wearing a cape!
Response from Kathy Young
THANK YOU so much for this one of a kind review! WOW, Wonder Woman, huh! I think I’ll hire me LOL. All kidding aside, I am deeply honored that you hired me to handle this sale. Along the way, I learned just how much your home meant to you over the years. I wish you well as you and yours prepare for your next wonderful chapter. I will stay in touch.

She Has Your Back
Kathy is not only a wonderful person, but she is a hard working professional who will pour herself into her work to help you through the difficult, and sometimes emotional, process of buying and selling a home! She has your back and has the interpersonal skills to work well with other agents, which goes a long way, since she is your spokesperson in business! Kathy is a super detailed person and will go above and beyond to help you through a sometimes tricky and time- consuming life event. She is more than a realtor though; she is a friend! Thank you Kathy for all your hard work and help.
Response from Kathy Young
Thanks Meg & Andy for leaving this wonderful review. I appreciate your words. I love this work! It was enjoyable working to find you two a new family home in a new town to raise your two little ones in. Likewise, I enjoyed our strategy sessions related to marketing your existing home.

Optimistic AND Realistic
We were SO fortunate to have Kathy as the realtor to list and sell our Mom’s house. Unlike many new, young realtors that take a listing and wait for a commission, Kathy hustled from Day 1, until after closing. She was super accurate on pricing, assisted in coordinating repairs, carpet cleaning, disposal of excess furniture, etc. She interacted with HOA and the title company, etc.. She was both optimistic AND realistic. Kathy was more than a realtor; she was a hard-working friend. A million thanks and 10 out of 10 stars. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Response from Kathy Young
Thank you so very much for the “10 Star” review. I am happy to know you were pleased with the services you received. Not too difficult to provide good services when you are working for clients, who themselves are“10 star” human beings! I so enjoyed getting to know your family. Looking forward to our paths crossing again.

I Realized That I Found My Lifetime Realtor!
Kathryn is one of a kind realtor. I‘ve never met anyone like her before and when I had a chance to work with her on selling my condo, I realized that I’ve found my lifetime realtor. Kathryn is kind-hearted person, who goes out of the way for your best interests. She has so many years of experience; so of course, she knows her stuff well. I was scared and unsure about selling my condo back in June/July of 2020 (a crazy year as everyone knows), bur somehow she managed and guided me through each step of the selling process. Kathryn worked so hard for me and she was just everything more than just a typical realtor I ask for. There are so many more to say about her but after all, I need to thank God for sending her to me.
Response from Kathy Young
What a beautiful review Tracy! It is very inspiring to me and has touched my heart! I am so GRATEFUL to have met you and your beautiful family. The sale of your home was during a very difficult time here in MI, with COVID restrictions at the highest. WE did it though! It now has a new happy owner and you are moving on toward a new milestone. It was an honor to support your real estate needs and I am looking forward to supporting them in the future. As you know, “I love HOMEwork”!

Working with Kathy was like working with family and we could have not had a better experience. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU for EVERYTHING! I highly recommend!!!!”

Paul & Theresa, Buyer
Kathryn was our Buyer’s Agent for our new home. We had some hurdles to overcome but nothing stopped Kathryn from making our dream home a reality. Kathryn goes above and beyond the work of an Agent. She always contacted the seller’s agent in advance to find out what the situation was with the houses that we were viewing (i.e., details of house, price negotiating possibilities, info. on the neighborhood etc.). She made us feel as if we were her only clients. Through her fine tuned listening skills, she takes her work very seriously to find exactly the house features that you are looking for. She does a phenomenal job networking to get the very best house, and price that met our needs. She is a very honest, open, and caring person who completely enjoys her job. No time is off the charts when situations or questions arise. I would highly recommend Kathryn because she is such a hard working, and sincere agent who truly is a pleasure to work with.

Thanks Paul and Theresa for taking time to share this. We did have a journey, didn’t we! I am grateful you choose me to walk the path with you as you achieved your goal of finding that right home. You were both incredible to work with and for.

Has The Needs Of Her Clients As Her Upmost Interest
Kathy worked with us for about a year before we found out lake house. We knew pretty much what we were looking for, but needed to explore areas. We started out in 2018. Kathy sent us listings of houses in various lakes in southeast Michigan, as well as, many trips out to see areas and examples of what was out there. Kathy spent a lot of time with us. After many months and slowing down house hunting process to “winter over”, we started looking in earnest again in early spring of 2019. First, she found us what we thought was the perfect lake house, but the deal fell through because of a fickle seller and no fault of her own. She persevered and actually found us a better place on a large lake and a house/cabin that worked great for our family. Kathy has the needs of her clients as her utmost interest. You will be happy to let Kathy either find you your next home or sell your home for you.
Response from Kathy Young
What an awesome recap of our lakefront house hunting experience. We did travel to many southeast MI lakes; that’s for certain. It’s called becoming an “informed lakefront property buyer” huh! I do appreciate such a thoughtful and complete review. I often think of you and yours enjoying the beautiful view and those good times in your “newly acquired pontoon”.

Well Versed in Unique Requirements of Co-Op Sales
I first contacted Kathy Young in late November of 2018 when I decided to sell a property I owned with my sister in Brighton Michigan. My sister had passed away in August of 2017. I had been working contract jobs in Florida off and on for several years then a job in Florida turned into permanent position. The property my sister and I owned was a co-op unit – like a condo but with a different ownership structure. There were several unique requirements related to the sale of a co-op unit that I was completely ignorant of. Fortunately for me Kathy was well versed in the sale of this type of property. Working in Florida made it a challenge for prepping the unit for sale as I was not there in person to coordinate the work of the contractors I used to get the unit in top condition. Kathy located qualified reputable contractors for me and worked as my local point of contact in coordinating/supervising the work. All the work performed was very professionally done with one exception. The company that was hired to deep-clean the kitchen and bath areas of the home did substandard work. Kathy stopped in to look at the work that was done and immediately contacted me to let me know she was unsatisfied with the job done. At that time I was coming home to Michigan for the Christmas holiday and to finalize the efforts to get the property on the market. I was shocked when I arrived home to have Kathy stop in at my unit with her own cleaning supplies to redo the kitchen and bath areas. When she had finished scrubbing everything looked great – talk about above and beyond the call of duty. Kathy was a pleasure to work with during the entire process of prepping and selling my co-op unit and I will gladly check back with her when I return to Michigan to look for a summer home when I retire in a couple of years. Thanks Kathy – you really stand by your motto of loving HOMEwork!”
Response from Kathy Young
Bob, what a lovely review! Thank you for taking the time and for such a generous evaluation. I enjoyed the partnership we shared as we prepared the unit for the home sales market, especially under such circumstances. It was a real honor to work with a client that exercised such a commitment for ensuring a good outcome, and a good outcome it was! Looking forward to serving you and yours in the future.

I Immediately Felt I Had Met an Agent That Cared About Her Job & Clients
I met Kathy through a mutual friend. On our first meeting, I immediately felt that I had met an agent that cared about her job and clients. Kathy is professional, efficient and caring. She gave me tips on de-cluttering and getting my home ready to go on the market. It sold to the first person that looked at it. I wanted to downsize and Kathy listened to what I wanted in my new home and location. I actually purchased the first home I looked at. We looked at several others for comparison but I was happy with that first choice. Not only did I have a positive experience with finding my new forever home, I made an awesome friend.
Response from Kathy Young
Toni, thanks for this impressive review but I have one for you too. “YOU DID IT!” Downsizing has it challenges but you met them one by one. It was so good to walk that walk with you. And yes, this realtor adds to her friend list along the way…and you are proof of that.
