EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS Kacey made the experience of finding our home, both efficient and fun. She responded to our needs quickly, and kept us alerted to any new houses that fit our preferences. She was also kind, funny and incredibly friendly!

-Huw & Catie

Kacey was an incredible realtor to work with! She was so hard working and available by phone, text, or to meet in person whenever we needed her. She drove all the way out to East County countless times to show us homes. We were first time home buyers and Kacey made the process so easy for us and made us feel comfortable asking any questions that we had. We told her our goal was to buy a home by the end of summer and she made it happen in just 4 short months! We were very particular about what we were looking for in a home including price, size, location, good schools, etc. and she listened to our requests and worked hard to help us meet all of those goals. She worked hand-in-hand with our lender and went over all of the legal documents with a fine tooth comb. She worked diligently to make sure that we got the best deal possible and were making good financial decisions. Not only was she professional and committed, but she was so FUN to work with. Anyone who works with Kacey will end up with a life long friend. We were so happy working with Kacey & Berkshire Hathaway and would recommend her and her team to anyone and everyone! We are so in love with our new home and neighborhood and are eternally grateful!

-Matt & Lexie

Kacey did an outstanding job with the property we recently purchased. She was there every step of the way and kept us informed at all times. She was very helpful with coordinating inspections and other services that needed to be done prior to closing. We had many questions and she was always positive & helpful with her responses, which made the process very easy on us. We highly recommend Kacey Smith to anyone looking to sell or buy property. She’s a knowledgeable, skilled realtor, and pleasure to work with!

-Mandi & Chris

Kacey was very helpful throughout the entire process of buying my first home. She was great about responding to my questions and provided me and my family with all the information and support that we needed in this process. I highly recommend working with Kacey if you are looking to buy a home.
