Kathy is an absolutely incredible person and a stellar real estate agent! I feel so grateful to have found her. When my husband and I decided to sell our home I did an online search for an agent. I was impressed with Kathy’s reviews. I gave her a call and set up a meeting. Upon meeting her I felt like she was honest and realistic. I didn’t want an agent that was just going to tell me what I wanted to hear. She was also a positive, interesting and an overall enjoyable person to be with. Of course you really want to like the person that you hire to sell your house. It was an instant connection and Kathy was hired. The process of selling the house had ups and downs but I felt like Kathy, Eric and her team were excellent advocates for us through the whole process. She did an absolutely incredible job selling our house. I believe that an agent’s true skills come out when the negotiations get tough and problems arise. She handed every issue gracefully and with confidence. Kathy is clever, creative, and a great problem solver. I truly believe she was a gift from above. I’m so grateful that I had the opportunity to work with her and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an agent with integrity!
Dan & Janae R.Kathy helped me sale my house under a very difficult situation. She coordinated every aspect of the sale; helped buyer expedite the loan approval process; arranged all necessary repairs on my behalf, and remained in regular contact with me. She is one of the most trusted real estate agents I have ever met - someone I would always go back to seek help from on any real estate matters in the future. Giving Kathy 5 stars will not speak enough about her dedication, trust worthiness and efficiency! Her team is also excellent, each one of them committed to, and eager to help, Kathy’s clients. I wish Kathy and her team all the best in any, and all of their endeavors.
Mohammad A.Kathy and Eric were exceptional! From the first day we met, I was convinced they would deliver the fastest sale at the highest price possible. And, they exceeded all of our expectations! With one weekend’s showing, we were able to select the very best of the 17 excellent offers that were made. We couldn’t have been more pleased with their “two for the price of one” service. Eric’s one lucky guy to have such an exceptional mentor, and Kathy’s one lucky gal to have such a talented and hard-working son and protoge. And we were one lucky couple to have both of them on our team. In my book, they’re worthy of 10 stars!
Mimi G.We recently sold our home in Orange, CA. Kathy & her son Eric represented us for the sale of our home. They are simply remarkable team. From the first moment we met, we felt like family. They went above and beyond what was expected of a realtor. They helped us stage our home, which meant moving furniture and boxes. They even provided us boxes. They took care of landscaping to ensure our house looked the best. During the sale of the home, we were out of town. Not only did they show our home, they watered our plants. Our house sold first weekend for more than asking. Kathy & Eric had a strategy to sell our home and it worked. We highly recommend them, you will not be disappointed.
Mike & Shirley S.
It is wonderful when something is done and you can look back understanding you made the correct decisions. When we partnered with Kathy we chose the perfect one to handle our very big job! We would not hesitate recommending Kathy to whomever might be looking for a agent that has it all.
Ken H.
Very pleased with all services provided by the Kathy Leimkuhler First Team Real Estate team. My wife and I were very pleased with all the transactions handled by Kathy and her team from listing our home for sale to closing the deal. We have used Kathy’s team for several home sale and purchase transactions and have been very pleased with their performance. Henry M.
If you want true professionals guiding your real estate sale or purchase, hire the Leimkuhler Group. Everything they did was friendly, professional and got exactly the results they predicted, the sale of our home in 30 days for more than the previous, expired listing.
Steve S.
Selling your home is a big decision. Deciding who to help you sell your house is just as important. We chose Kathy & Eric to sell our home because of their knowledge and expertise with in selling in the area. Our experience with them was excellent all the way through. From the first time we reached out through the final details of the sale, Kathy & Eric were consummate professionals. They were always prepared, always on time, and always had the answers we needed! The other thing that impressed us with Kathy & Eric was their marketing ability. The data they presented, the network they are a part of, and the professionals they brought in to help us sell the home were excellent. And the results showed. We listed our property for sale and within 4 days we had 5 solid offers. Kathy & Eric were great at helping us evaluate the offers and make a decision on what was best for us. We would highly recommend them. They are excellent! Doug & Julie W.
Kathy helped us to sell our home in Orange earlier this year. We chose Kathy for several reasons. First, we had such a positive experience with her when we purchased the home two years prior (she represented the seller in that transaction). We found her as engaging, and thoughtful in balancing the needs of both buyer and seller. Second, it was clear that she was an absolute expert on our area and market conditions. She knew the prospective buyers who were interested in homes in our neighborhood, and as a neighbor we knew she was invested in a positive outcome for all involved. Kathy was able to identify the right buyer for the home before we even listed it on the market. She was also instrumental in helping us create a situation that allowed us to remain in the home for the Spring to allow our daughter to finish the school year in Orange after we closed. Kathy was invested in a win-win for all involved, and very helpful to us personally during the transition. For that we are forever grateful. If you need a realtor in Orange County -- and in particular in the Orange, Tustin, Yorba Linda, Anaheim Hills area our family gives Kathy and the entire Leimkuher First Team Real Estate team our highest endorsement. You won’t be disappointed! John B.
We are so blessed to know Kathy Leimkuhler and to have the opportunity to work with her, Eric Leimkuhler and her team to sell our home. Their integrity and work effort made it possible to sell our home quickly and efficiently (actually before we had purchased a new home). The Leimkuhler group has sold more homes in The Parkridge Community than any other. She has represented our community and the surrounding areas with the same success. They transformed our home with staging, marketing materials and an enormous reach to those that are looking to find their new home or a quick sell at the price we were hoping to achieve. My husband and I have lived in Orange County for 120 years combined this transition to our next home has been perfect. WE are truly grateful to Kathy and her team!
Mike & Debbie S.
We made a long distance purchase of a second home. Kathy helped us narrow down areas of interest, showed us properties and forwarded us information on properties to review when we were not in town. She always responded promptly , was thorough and professionally assisted us with all aspects of the search through final closing. She was always accommodating on schedule and efficiently utilized our time. Pamela T.
It was a pleasure working with Kathy and Eric. They are very professional and enthusiastic and were always available to answer all questions. They were on site for every showing and we would highly recommend them for any real estate transaction.
Richard H.
Because it had been over forty years since the sale of my last house, I was apprehensive about how difficult it might be to sell my property. After only about a half-an-hour meeting with Kathy, I knew she was the realtor I could trust, and she was the one I wanted to work with. She was very personable, professional and clearly explained the sales process in detail - how much to list the house for - what minor changes needed to be done to make it more attractive to buyers - even the best paint colors. After the initial weekend showing, we had multiple offers, all more than asking price. Kathy evaluated the offers and recommended the strongest buyers for me to chose from. I got the best price for the property with the least amount of hassle and worry. She also helped guide me through the escrow process, and made sure it closed in thirty days. She is a true experienced, professional who is pleasant to work with, and I highly recommend Kathy Leimkuhler for the sale of your house. Wade P.
Kathy was excellent. Went the extra mile for us. We were away for the open house. We trusted Kathy to handle everything. Sold our house in about one week. Very satisfied. Highly recommended. Eric S.
