Kat is an experienced and knowledgeable professional. Her concierge service exceeded our expectations. From finding the right house for us to buy, to getting our house ready for sale, to completing the paperwork; Kat got the work done quickly and efficiently. All the processes went smoothly. We highly recommend Kat.

Kat is friendly and relaxed. She also is very hard-working. Her wealth of knowledge is impressive. She truly rallied for me when my offer was being evaluated, keeping in touch with the listing agent all day long. She negotiated efficiently to get me the deal. Hooray!
Kat is knowledgeable, experienced, professional and provides excellent service.

Kat is the best. Kind, considerate, patient, and responsive. Would love to work with her again. She responded to messages within minutes most of the time, despite being a high volume agent in the area. She had a good understanding of the local forces neighborhoods but also allowed us to explore for ourselves while we narrowed down our choices. She is also familiar with so many other agents that she could help us tailor offers to specific sellers and seller agents. we feel fortunate to have found her.
Kat is amazing in every respect and helped us to find our dream home. She's extremely responsive, very well connected, smart, resourceful, and on-top of every detail. She has great market instincts and is a pleasure to work with. In every way, Kat is an ideal home-buying partner.
When we selected Kathleen "Kat" McCrystal to be our third realtor she said all the same things our previous two realtors said about selling our property. The difference turned out to be that she really meant it. After trying the time proven methods used by all others she embarked on a series of different techniques peculiar to our property. Overhead drone views of our location and a huge party for 70 local professionals in the real estate market showcasing how our house can be a party house were just two of the innovative methods she used. She has been creative in marketing our property and we have been very successful in selling it. After finding a buyer, she didn't stop and insisted on prepping the house for them so that we could leave knowing that all cosmetic improvements were done... Show More

Kat is a true professional. She handled all the small details for me to get the house ready to close. I would ONLY use Kat for future transactions in the area! You will be VERY happy with Kat's professionalism, work ethic, and follow through. I don't usually provide such strong recommendations, but Kat is truly exceptional.

Kat listens well and is very patient. She is tenacious and very hard-working!
Very professional and friendly.
The best experience you can wish for .
Kat provided a wonderfully compelling marketing plan and then implemented it. Unfortunately, the unique characteristics of the property significantly limited the target audience and the generation of potential buyers was difficult to achieve. This resulted in both a longer sales process than we anticipated and required price reductions. Kat was extremely diligent and communicated effectively throughout the process.
Kat is a great advocate for her clients. You will always feel informed and supported working with her!

We chose Kat to be our real estate agent just by chance, and I can honestly say that there is no better real estate agent out there. My wife and I had moved away from the Monterey area to the Midwest and rented our house for a time before we decided to sell. Once we did decide to sell we were unable to return to Monterey and take part in the selling process. Kat took care of everything for us to a level that I wouldn’t have expected from anyone. She found us a buyer very quickly with a tenant still in place and took care of just about all of the back and forth between the new buyer, the tenant and our property manager. Words cannot describe how difficult the situation was with the buyer that we had, and Kat was there every time something needed to be done. She made time to show up at... Show More
Loved working with Kat. We could always depend on her to follow up on all issues regarding the sale.
She was always professional and dependable.
Great experience. I would highly recommend her to anyone I know who is looking to buy or sell in the area.
Kat made the experience painless. I was happy to be able to do the transaction remotely too.

Kat McCrystal was fantastic to work with. She is extremely knowledgable, very focused, detail-oriented, and a great partner throughout the home buying process. Kat truly represented our best interest and was always accessible by phone, text, and email plus e-signing all documents were very helpful. I was thrilled to work with someone so technical which makes all the difference in a competitive market. I would immediately recommend Kat to any close friend or family member and look forward to working with her again with our next purchase.
Kat is a real professional, anticipates needs, asks great questions to make sure that the property is the perfect fit for our family.
We loved working with her and would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for the type of professional that goes the extra mile for her clients!

I couldn't of asked for more in an agent .Kat was there for us every step of the way, explaining all the details. If ever I had to do this again Kat would be the agent I would call. I will recommend her to my friends. she was professional, kind and truthful.
She was amazing.
Kat did an amazing job for us and I would recommend her to anyone.

From start to finish Kat provided helpful advice and immediate followup on all broker tasks. She foresaw all difficulties and helped us overcome them in a pleasant professional manner. The loan and closing agents she provided were also first rate and with Kat made it possible to meet our needs for quick action to acquire and move into an outstandingly suitable, affordable house in time to start new jobs.
At every step of the way Kat was available with insight, knowledge of the local area, and help with looking at many properties. Purchase of a condo is a major decision, and the process is complicated. I'm so glad Kat was there with contacts who were available on short notice to follow up on all the inspection and repair questions. For all my concerns, Kat provided consultation or referral, and was readily available at all times. You could not ask for a better agent.

Kat was excellent! She responded to calls/texts quickly and was very knowledge about the area we were trying to buy in. She would talk to the listing agents to make sure we didn't waste our time putting an offer on a house out of our reach. We'd definitely use her again.

My wife Jane and I had the pleasure of working with Kathleen McCrystal as our realtor in the purchase of our new home in Carmel Valley California. Kat did a great job representing our interests in this deal. She is thorough, tenacious, highly focused, and is a great communicator. She remembers every detail and her follow-up is superb. Kat is the best realtor we have worked with as buyers, and we have moved 20 times. Kat also provided excellent and enthusiastic service post close as we were in the process of relocating. This assistance is above and beyond, is rare, and is super helpful and much appreciated. Kat McCrystal is an excellent realtor and person. Feel free to give me a call if you would like further details
We've had the pleasure of working with Kat twice now to buy and most recently sell our home to purchase another. Although purchasing and selling a home can be stressful Kat was able to help us every step of the way. I love how responsive she is. We never had to wait long to get a response from Kat. We would highly recommend Kat to any family member or friend in search of a realtor . Thank you again Kat!!
Kat was an incredible help in getting us into our new home. She listened to our parameters - carefully -, sent us property listings that fit those parameters, met us at times that fit with our schedules, and made time to ensure that we understood all of the paperwork and timelines when we eventually put an offer in on a house. She is amazing and I cannot recommend her highly enough!
I had a wonderful experience working with Kat. She was very proactive, professional and informative. Kat took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and went the extra mile to ensure the purchase went smoothly with my interests in mind. Kat uses all the latest RE technology available which is important to me. Kat has wonderful communication skills and was always available via phone, text or face-to-face. I am currently working with Kat on another home purchase and will definitely recommend her to friends.
Kat is everything one could hope for in an agent: knowledgeable, experienced, extremely hardworking, and a great communicator. I would seek her out again if I were to be buying or selling in the Monterey area.
Kat:
I want to thank you for everything that you have done; checking on the place initially when I asked you to, and always going the extra mile with your busy schedule and being a mom too; wow I do not know how you do it, but you do; dealing with unforeseen personalities in the process too.
You have been outstanding in your work ethic and I am so happy that you were with me/us during this process, giving me your advice, answering my questions.
This is the second property we were fortunate to have Kat with us through the process. Always working for the client.
Blessings to you and your boys always beautiful lady. See you soon.
An absolute pleasure to work with Kat. Kat was there for us every step of the way. She knows the business well and is very professional with her advice. Living 125 mile away we trusted Kat to step in for us and give us feedback when we couldn’t be there.
My sister and her friend owned the property that Kat sold for us as an estate sale. She was very professional and knew her job. She had people who could get the house ready for viewing and they did an wonderful job of cleaning and painting, also a gardener who was great at his trade and did a thorough cleanup of the property. Their prices were reasonable and we could trust Kat to oversee the work done as we live out of the country. Kat handled everything with ease and was so helpful and we were very impressed with all the people she knew and contacts she had who could help us out. We felt very comfortable letting Kat handle our sale as she has experience in the real estate business and knows legal aspects as well. She looked after many extras for us like returning cable equipment and... Show More

Kat McCrystal, is one of those very rare real estate agents that really cares. For example, she went to the City of Monterey on my behalf and checked on my back property line and met with city inspectors on issues that pertained to my property, all without me asking her to do so. I would give her a #AAA Rating on performance and integrity. She always kept her word on the open houses she did, and if there was a problem in which she could not be there, she would always call me and let me know. Her communication skills with me, were always excellent. I would highly recommend any person wanting to list their house and have a truly professional person represent them to give her a try. She helped me get the maximum amount of money for my house that other realtors said I couldn't get. If she... Show More

My husband and I cannot say enough positive things about Kat! She is clearly experienced, knows real estate, is a great communicator and negotiator, and is a person of great integrity. We purchased a home using a 203K rehab loan, which is a difficult and complicated process. I do not think that we would have been able to close the deal successfully, in a timely manner, without Kat's diligence and expertise. She is fantastic and we highly recommend her!

Kat is a real professional and knows how to make a transaction happen.
When my first loan fell through, she connected me with a new mortgage company that was able to get me a great loan. She was able to close in only a month and now I'm the proud owner of a great new home.

Being first time home buyers, we chose Kat based on her many years of experience, excellent reputation and proven track record in the local real estate scene here on the peninsula. When the house we wanted came on the market, we knew we had to act quickly and Kat was extremely efficient in getting our offer in. Kat was extremely thorough in guiding us through the entire process with professionalism and we felt 100% confident at every turn. The entire deal went quickly and seamlessly and we are so thankful to have had this great experience with our wonderful friend, Kat. We highly recommend Kat for others who are seeking a personable, knowledgeable and diligent agent when looking to buy or sell their home.
