Kate was so responsive and communicative. She helped us through every step of the process and we were able to sell within 3 days! Thank you, Kate!!!

Kevin C

Buyer

Kate was excellent to work with. Knowledgeable, clear to communicate with, a good listener, trustworthy, quick, and proactive. She was patient with us as we blundered our way through a seller’s market, wishing there were a good buy. She made the process easy to understand and even fun when possible. Would recommend!

Johanna A

Buyer & Seller

Kate is a fantastic and very knowledgeable realtor! She helped us navigate both the sell and purchase of our house! She was able to sell our house quickly (2 days!!) and was able to help us find the perfect home for our growing family. She was great at explaining and answering all of our questions. Would recommend 10/10

Andrew J

Kate is an amazing realtor! She is patient and attentive and was a great representative in all our meetings during closing. We would highly recommend her to anyone.

Robert V

Buyer

We loved working with Kate. She's very thorough and a great communicator. We also appreciated her organization and follow through. This was our second time working with Kate- highly recommended!

Melinda C

Seller

Kate VanDonge was so wonderful to work with! She took care of us from the moment we decided to sell our house until our closing day. She helped us navigate the ins and outs and ups and downs that come with putting a house on the market and deciding on which offer to accept. We couldn't have been happier than to have Kate on our team!

Charly B

Seller

Kate was great to work with and walked our family through all of the steps of selling our house. She helped guide us through the contracts, offers, minor repairs to the house, and all the other steps. We had a great experience and trusted her throughout the entire process.

Luke D

Buyer & Seller

Kate helped our family in both selling and finding our next home. She was really great in working through the process in each. Kate pays so much attention to detail, is organized, honest, willing to be helpful in any way she can be, and is just really down to earth and easy to talk through things with. She offered just the right amount of guidance and wisdom in the areas we had questions, but at the end of the day made sure were making decisions we were comfortable with. We just really appreciate her and all she did to help our family in this season. We could tell that Kate genuinely enjoys helping others and wants to make the home buying and selling process as stress free and streamlined as possible. We would recommend her to anyone!

Rachel G

Buyer

Kate walked with me every step of my first time home buying experience - from meeting me at a coffee shop to discuss buying versus renting, suggesting great homes for me to visit, to patiently explaining real estate documents. I felt safe and valued throughout the entire process due to Kate's  knowledge of real estate and high level of professionalism. Her communication is incredibly prompt and thorough - l always felt that she wanted to make time for me (like working late into the evening on an offer). Her knowledge of many obtuse real estate documents and the process of buying a house is vast, demonstrated by her detailed explanations of each document over the phone/email to me. Finally, you're going to spend a lot of time with your realtor, so why not choose someone who is as patient, kind, and funny as Kate!

Jane C

Buyer

Kate did a fantastic job helping us to find a home. She went above and beyond and kept close contact with us throughout the whole process. We would definitely use her again as our agent!

Peter L

Buyer

Kate is in an incredibly thorough and attentive real estate agent. She was always available when we needed her and never tired of my questions. As first time home buyers, we wanted an agent who could clearly explain the process to us and guide us from being under contract through closing. Kate was a perfect fit for us. On top of all that, she is honest, patient and was never phased by our rambunctious children.

Shannon L

Buyer

Kate helped us purchase our first home. My husband and I were learning what we were doing as we went along, and Kate was immensely patient and helpful. Two things we appreciate most about Kate are how thorough and trustworthy she is; we knew she was always working with our best interests in mind.  Kate provided information and details about the home-buying process and each property we looked at, as well as guiding us expertly through escrow to closing.

Bryce M

Buyer

Kate was great at communicating, keeping things organized, and generally very professional overall. She had lots of great knowledge and was the first person I turned to when I had a question about the process. I wouldn't work with anyone else!

Janet V

Seller

Kate is professional, knowledgeable and made selling my mother’s home of 49 years a much easier process than what I had thought possible. I highly recommend her for listing or buying a home. She will work hard for you!

Ellen

Buyer

Kate made the home buying process straightforward. She showed us houses that were in our price range, in the right neighborhoods and really fit our needs. She was able to point out pluses and minuses of each property. She made the offer and contract process go very smoothly. She always answered  our questions quickly. The entire experience was very positive. Thank you, Kate. I totally recommend her services.

Brent D

Buyer

We purchased a condominium in Walla Walla and Kate did an outstanding job! We live out of state which required an enormous amount of trust of the realtor handling our purchase. Kate came through with flying colors!

Cory K

Buyer

We loved working with Kate. As first time home buyers, she walked us through every step of the process and was clear and consistent on all fronts. She's quick to respond, knowledgeable, attentive, and will go the extra mile to make sure the process is as smooth as possible. Gave us some great  advice and was able to not only help us find our dream house, but walk us through the offering/negotiating process in a tough buying market. Definitely would recommend.

John K

Buyer

Kate was wonderful to work with! First time home buyer and Kate was very helpful answering my questions and keeping me informed. Kate was easy to work with, knowledgeable, and timely. I appreciated Kate asking the right questions about what I was looking for in a house after each house we  looked at. She was great about finding what part of each house was important to me to help narrow down the right one!

Nichole M

Buyer

Kate made the home buying process efficient and painless. She is very knowledgeable and thorough. Any time we had questions, Kate was quick to respond and extremely helpful. She gave great advice and helped guide us in the right direction through the process of buying our home. Kate is very  organized and helped us make sure we met our deadlines on time during the closing process. We highly recommend Kate as a realtor, and we couldn't have asked for a better person to help us find our first home.

Caprice S

Seller

Kate went above and beyond in helping us sell our home. At one point we were out of town and not expecting any home viewings. Kate received several viewing requests and went to tidy up for us while we were away. This is just one example of her willingness to help sellers. We appreciated all she did  and would happily recommend her to anyone looking to sell or buy a home.

Kandy M

Seller

I lived out of town for the sale of my house, Kate was very informative, upfront and helpful with the entire process. She kept me up to date on the progress once under contract and was always available via email of phone if I ever had any questions. Kate was easy to work and communicate with, she  went above and beyond and worked all sorts of hours to accommodate the time change between our two locations. Very highly recommended to anyone who wants a thorough realtor. If She didn't know an answer she figured it out and asked so she could give me the most accurate information.

Rita N

Buyer

We had a great experience working with Kate! She was very quick to respond to our questions and concerns. She was objective in her opinions and advice regarding the many properties she showed us. Kate seemed to understand exactly what we were looking for and made herself available with our limited  time.Shopping for real estate was actually fun and efficient. We only had a couple of days to look around on our first venture to Walla Walla and she was able to get us into 9 properties and answer questions about some others. We are amazed that we were able to find exactly what we were looking for. Thank you, Kate. We look forward to seeing and working with you again.
