1. I was extremely pleased with Kate Oftring's performance with respect to my recent transaction.
2. I honestly can't think of anything that Kate or RE/MAX cold have done better.
I was especially pleased that RE/MAX was able to make available lists of vetted contractors who cold provide services I needed.

We had the privilege of having Kate Oftring as our realtor who guided us through the process of selling our prior home. Kate is an incredibly professional, knowledgeable and perceptive realtor who we thoroughly enjoyed working with. She evaluated our property, made all of the appropriate recommendations concerning preparations we needed to make before we listed our house, and helped us coordinate the repair work that was necessary. Her experience in terms of market analysis was invaluable in pricing our home and in coordinating what was a very efficient and timely process leading to our successful sale. Kate was always available and did a wonderful job explaining what we could expect at each point in the process. We would give her the highest recommendation possible.
Well Kate Oftring is the best! Very professional even when I wasn't. She did everything possible to make the process move along smoothly. People and other processes just get in the way. I recommend Kate all the time.

"We needed to buy a home and the process seemed overwhelming. Kate was recommended to us because of her knowledge of the neighborhoods,property conditions,value and other factors around buying a home. She does not dissapoint. Kate spent the time to understand what kind of home we needed and wanted. She was our filter in the marketplace and so our time spent looking was never wasted. Her patience with us was commendable. Kate didn't quit until we had our home. Thanks Kate!"

"We selected Kate Oftring from several other reputable area realtors,feeling that she would best represent our particular needs in selling our home of seventeen years. She did not disappoint! Kate is very organized, and in short order had developed a precise marketing plan for our home. She brings a wealth of real estate experience to the table, and is quite knowledgeable and confident, but at the same time has a collaborative and collegial style. She LISTENS, and consequently is able to provide uncompromised advise and guidance to her clients. Kate excels at communication; our calls, texts and emails were all answered right away. Kate also recommended various service providers who turned out to be invaluable in the home sale process. Kate made the process of selling our home so much less stressful and overwhelming than we think it would have been without her involvement. We recommend her highly and without reservation for your real estate needs."
1. I was completely satisfied with my agent. Kate is the kindest, most honest agent. This was my second experience with Kate and she went above and beyond to get to know me and what I was looking for. I went into the home buying search with what I thought I wanted and ended with a completely different home then originally planned. With Kate's patience as I looked at several properties she helped me decide what was best for my lifestyle. I can't thank her enough for that. She is a gem and REMAX is fortunate to have her on your team.
2. Nothing to better the experience. It was terrific.
Thank you so much!

"As first time home-buyers,we could not be more thrilled with our experience working with Kate Oftring at Remax Vision Homes. After falling in love with a home,Kate immediately set us up with connnections for help with our mortgage,inspection,insurance and attorney. The process took a total of 2 months and with each step,we felt confident that Kate was making all the right decisions behind the scenes,keeping us informed along the way, and being available when we had questions. Kate is extremely assured and knowledgeable as well as kind and empathic to the buying process.

"Kate was a pleasure to work with. We were looking for our first home and Kate's knowledge of the neighborhoods in Worcester was extremely helpful. She helped us navigate through the unexpected occurrences that are undoubtedly part of every home buying process. During our search we were comforted knowing our best interests were Kate's main priority. We are now the happy owners of a beautiful home in a spectacular neighborhood and would recommend Kate to any of our family and friends in need of selling or buying a home."

"Kate did an excellent job. We were very pleased with her efficiency,professionalism and dedication. The house sold a little after a month on the market for a price that we had determined to bee very fair, which made us very happy. I would highly recommend Kate to anyone I know. I cannot think of a single thing that would have enhanced the experience."
Hancock Hill Area
"I searched for a new house for more than a year (unsuccessfully) until I met Kate. Kate took the time to understand what I was looking for in a home. When we finished our conversation, she IMMEDIATELY brought me to a house that fit my deion to a T! Within a short period of time I placed a bid on the house and Kate stuck with me through every step of the process. She was extremely attentive and responsive to all my questions and concerns. Kate even kept in contact after the closing, checking in to see if I needed any additional support. Today I am very happy in my new home and I credit Kate for making that happen. I highly recommend Kate Oftring for all your real estate needs!"
