Beware, Not All Realtors are Superhero's!

No two Realtors are exactly alike, so it's important to hire an experienced agent who resonates with your needs, preferences and desires. As an seasoned agent who's an expert in the Conejo Valley and surrounding area, Kathy brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise about buying and selling real estate in the area. It's not the same everywhere, so you need someone you can trust for up-to-date expertise and timely information. Kathy also brings to the table over 20 years of financial expertise as a former bond trader & marketing manager for a top L.A. brokerage. In a nutshell, Kathy Smiley is knowledgable, professional, experienced, ethical, friendly (obviously, with the last name of Smiley!), prompt, attentive and eager to serve you. Here what "Super Agent" Kathy can do for you: Help You Find Your Perfect Home! "You need someone who knows this area inside and out. I will work with you to find the right home at the right price for you, including all the neighborhood amenities that matter - not to mention the essential criteria you have for your ideal home. Before we get in the car to start viewing homes, you and I have met and I have extensively gone over your criteria for what you want and need in your new home. I do more than just taking you to "look at homes". I listen and ask questions, in order to educate and help prepare you for "GETTING" that perfect dream home. My list of top lenders will be helpful for you to get the best financing for your needs." Sell Your Home for More! "When it's time to move, you need someone who is intricately connected within the community. I will help you prepare your home for sale; advertise your home in the most flattering & dignified manner; show to prospective buyers who are qualified to purchase your home; negotiate the purchase contract to meet the best of your objectives; help assure or arrange financing for the buyer if necessary; oversee and exhibit control over the inspections; handle all necessary paperwork; and fully supervise the successful on-time closing! I take care of everything you need, from Start to Close!" Consult on Home Selling Tactics & Techniques! "Oftentimes buyers don't visualize living in your home the way you do. When you list your home with me I will provide a one-hour consultation with an award-winning designer, who will give you specific recommendations to make your home attractive to its ideal audience. We will go through a detailed checklist to make sure we have all components functioning and in tip-top shape, from heating & air conditioning to termite to the roof. Presenting your home in its highest possible light will get top dollar & possibly multiple offers! Tasks like staging the home, making repairs or minor improvements, or even simply painting the walls can make the difference between a home resting on the market too long, and one that's sold fast for top dollar!" Navigate you through the Negotiation, Escrow & Successful Closing! "Navigating through the escrow process in California Real Estate is a complex and intricate task. I personally oversee that each and every task is completed on time and properly. Forewarned is forearmed, as my wise old Dad used to say ~ and taking control of the escrow process in the beginning is vital to having no surprises and an on-time, smooth closing. Negotiating with the cooperating agency tactfully is essential, and I can say I've never met a person I can't come to agreement with just using experience, tact, reason and kindness, I work steadfastly at every area in helping you buy or sell a home. You can count on me from A to Z!"
