Katnik Brothers Real Estate

Fantastic experience: My wife and I were interested in purchasing our first home, and we were referred to Katnik Brothers Real Estate Services by a family member. We are so thankful that we worked with them! Shortly after we reached out, we were contacted by Mike Woepse, who was a superstar throughout the entire process. In our initial call with him, we had a variety of questions, and he had clear and thorough answers to all of them, ranging from advice on lenders, the current state of the market, which areas seemed to fit our preferences, what our timelines would look like, and how we would be working together. By the end of the call, we knew that we had found a good fit. This was a remote search, as we were not actively living in the area where we were looking to buy. Normally, this can introduce some challenges, but Mike and his team were comfortable with it, having worked with many buyers and sellers throughout the COVID era. They made it clear that they recommended visiting homes in person, which we were on board with, but that also was a good sign that they cared about us and wanted to make sure that at the end of the day, we wouldn't be surprised by anything about the home. During our first showings, Mike walked us through things to look out for, while also being attentive to things that my wife and I pointed out about the homes as pros and cons. He also scrutinized each of the homes with a more experienced eye, pointing out things like termite damage, unusual (and possibly not permitted) additions, or other concerns that would have otherwise slipped past us as newcomers. Throughout the whole search, we felt like he was looking out for our best interests. After a few more rounds of searches, we found a couple of homes that we wanted to make offers on. Of course, Mike was completely prepared for that process too, walking us through everything that we needed to do on our end, and recommending strategies to approach counter-offer situations. We eventually had an offer accepted, and we went into escrow for our first home. Mike and his team had several recommendations for inspectors, which we worked with to take a closer look at the home. We started to find a few concerning issues, and in a situation where a first-time home buyer might feel overwhelmed, we instead felt like we could bounce questions off of Mike and his team about anything and receive an honest and helpful answer. Around this time, we also found another home that we liked even more, and even though it would be a bit of a challenge to navigate the cancellation for the first home, another round of offers and counter-offers, and another closing process, we decided to pursue this other home. We ended up having our offer accepted with only a two-week window to close, which was very tight, but with the help of Mike and his team, we were able to coordinate access for inspectors and a family member to get everything looked at. On top of that, we also found some things that needed to be worked on in the near future, which would be a bit expensive, and Mike helped us decide on an appropriate amount of seller credits to request before closing, which the seller accepted. Finally, we were able to close on our first home! We're very excited, and we're grateful that we worked with KBRE to do it. Mike and his team literally worked 'round the clock to accommodate our work schedules, and we couldn't be more satisfied. We will happily be recommending them to anyone that we know that is looking to buy or sell.

Fantastic experience: KBRE amazing! We were overwhelmed with all the showings we had in a week. Thanks to all the hard work KBRE and team did preparing our home for sale! The staging was fantastic and the communication between KBRE team members is top notch. They are very knowledgeable and always replied to our questions immediately. We could not have asked for a better team. We truly appreciate each team member that made us feel like we were family and they had our best interest at heart! Thank you again, Gary and Tonya Collier

Fantastic experience: We can’t imagine buying our first home without Mike. He guided us through every step of the process — from narrowing down the right neighborhood, to finding the perfect home, to navigating what turned into a uniquely long and complicated escrow. The home we were buying got flagged for unpermitted work during the escrow process, which led to a three-month holding pattern while the city inspected and approved the corrections. This created unexpected challenges with our lender around rate locks and required careful negotiations with the seller for coverage of those costs and prorated rent. Mike went far beyond the role of a typical buyer’s agent in helping us navigate this situation, ultimately saving us tens of thousands of dollars through his advice and advocacy. He was relentless in negotiations, proactively visited the property on our behalf while we were out of town for inspections, and consistently caught issues we never would have noticed until after closing. From the way he advised us to structure our offer, to the items he pushed the seller to cover, to guiding us through complex rate lock negotiations, Mike’s expertise made a measurable difference. Mike was an absolute pleasure to work with and someone we would recommend without hesitation to anyone buying in Orange County. We truly felt we were in the best possible hands throughout the entire experience.

Fantastic experience: So my wife and I decided it was time to downsize. Not doing the typical thing on moving out of state but downsizing to a smaller home in Tustin/Orange with added income of an ADU. Katnik’s entire team helped us with that entire process. They were fantastic! They communicate well with us, keep us informed on listings, offers, estimates, Docusign’s, open houses, commissions etc. Now it has been 20 years since I’ve moved and the equity made was fantastic. But plan on tacking on 10-15K more in the buyer/seller estimates on fees. You will have inspections to pay for and some escrow added fees. That was the ONLY surprise out of this entire process. They will give you an estimate on buyer/seller escrow costs but just don’t be surprised if costs you a little more than the highest estimate.

Fantastic experience: Simply put, OUR EXPERIENCE WITH KARL KATNIK AND HIS ENTIRE TEAM AT KBRE WAS TRULY "EXCEPTIONAL!" They are the GOLD STANDARD for realators! From my first meeting with Karl, to the staging, the negotiations and final closing of the property, I could not have asked for a more professional, competent and responsive team. Karl, Sabrina and everyone at KBRE went ABOVE and BEYOND in assisting my family and I with selling my brother's property after he passed away earlier this year. Karl and his Team understood our situation and listened to us throughout the probate process, making an already difficult selling process seamless. Communication between Karl, his Team and us was absolutely supeb, and made everything go smoothly. Karl did a superb job assessing the value of the property, based on the current market, recommending contractors and negotiating the final price. As such, I will definitely use Karl and KBRE for all future sales. I highy recommend them to anyone looking for a superb team of professionals that you can trust to sell your property in a professional and timely manner. "Strength and Honor" - Paul

Fantastic experience: We are really happy that we went with the Katnik Brothers. Mike Woepse was our realtor and while the market wasn't easy, he was patient with us as we were looking for some pretty specific criteria we didn't want to waver from and ended up looking for over a year. Mike was so kind, professional, and negotiated a great price for us when we found the home we wanted, and was there for all repair inspections. My husband and I have pretty busy work schedules but Mike and team made time after work, later in the evenings, etc. We would love to work with KBRE again in the future. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: From the first contact with Karl and Mike Katnik to the successful close of our home, our expectations were exceeded. Their entire team was highly professional and very responsive. We appreciated that someone was on-site for every phase of the process. Sabrina even volunteered to cover our patio furniture while we're out of town during a rainy spell. Karl checked in regularly to update us and to provide guidance through every step. The marketing strategy was excellent and we had a full price offer in less than 24 hours. We were very impressed with the Katnik Brothers team in every aspect and highly recommend them without hesitation. 凸 囗

Fantastic experience: KBRE offers effective marketing strategies and a deep understanding of the market. In just three months, Michael Woepse and the entire KBRE team helped our selective family of four find and secure an almost perfect home in a top-tier school district. From home searching, inspections, renovations, and financing, to preparing our Tustin home for sale with staging, marketing, listing, and open houses, Michael and his team guided us through every step. They also closed our sale smoothly—and above the listing price—in just one month. Regardless of the market, whether you're buying or selling, KBRE is the one choice you won't regret.

Fantastic experience: Four words come to mind when thinking about our recent experience working with the Katnik team: Promises made, promises kept. From our first meeting with Karl and Hannah we were very impressed with their strategic approach to making the sale of my home stress free. Each member of the KBRE team played a key role in the process, along with their network of service professionals, who went above and beyond to get the work done promptly and professionally. The Katnik team skillfully managed every detail which kept us on track with the agreed upon timeline. The process of getting the house ready to market exceeded our every expectation. The KBRE team’s market knowledge, professional integrity and trustworthiness was even more impressive as they quickly found the right buyers and negotiated the sale while simultaneously anticipating any potential hurdles that could have surfaced. They truly stand apart from their competition. After this experience we now understand why the Katnik team sells so many homes in the area. We highly recommend KBRE as they fully delivered on their promises. What a true blessing to have them represent us in this real estate transaction.

Fantastic experience: This Team was absolutely incredible re selling our home in Fullerton !!! Mike was our go to & he was on the same page as us . We got the pros & cons & expert advice . They really researched the area. Every step was organized & easiest real estate selling experience ever .!!! They communicated so well w sellers & their agent . Everything was so fair for both parties . The outside property was unique and they wanted to go for a high record price per square foot. They were so positive & we got it !!! Thank you again !!!

Fantastic experience: We used Karl Katnik and his team to sell our home and boy are we glad we did! The whole team - Hannah, Sabrina, Kathleen and Lisa - were all professional, kind, knowledgeable and patient. Hannah in particular was wonderful in helping us stage the house for open houses. Karl slayed us with his expertise! He knows every area of town and has his fingers on the pulse of the market. He is so in tune with real estate-so brilliant-we can’t imagine selling our home with anyone else. Thank you Katnik Brothers!!

Fantastic experience: We are extremely happy with the service provided by KBRE. They came highly recommended by our mortgage broker, and they truly lived up to that reputation. Within just three days of listing our property, we received a cash offer that we ultimately accepted. Mike, Melanie, and Erika handled the process expertly from start to finish. Mike, in particular, always stayed in constant contact, keeping us informed every step of the way. KBRE guided us through the entire process with great care and attention to detail. They met both of our goals: a fast sale and top dollar for our home. We highly recommend KBRE to anyone looking for a professional and effective real estate experience.

Fantastic experience: Karl, Hannah and the rest of the KBRE team made selling our house completely stress-free. The KBRE team knows the market well and made sure we received the best possible price. We trusted their advice and as a result, we received multiple offers over asking price in less than a week. Karl, Hannah and the rest of the KBRE team are friendly, professional and kept us informed every step of the way. Our questions were answered promptly and we were in constant contact throughout the selling progress. We would highly recommend KBRE without reservation.

Fantastic experience: We recently sold our home in Villa Park, California with the help of Katnick Brothers Real Estate (“KBRE”) and we are incredibly pleased with the experience. From start to finish, everyone involved was professional, knowledgeable, and fully committed to obtaining the best outcome. We want to especially commend our agents, Karl Katnick and Hannah Goldman, as they were both consummate professionals and such a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. We only needed to sit down with them one time to know we were making the right decision having them be our listing agents. Karl and Hannah always made themselves available to us to answer any questions we had, day or night, and made us feel like the sale of our home was their #1 priority. Karl and Hannah made all of the necessary arrangements for various contractors to meet in our home on the same day, which was very convenient. They spaced the appointment times out so that if we had any questions, we would have time to talk with the contractors individually. We had the best, most competent contractors provided by KBRE which, in turn, maximized the value of our home. We also want to thank everyone on the KBRE team, including Sabrina, Michael, Erika and Carly. One of the things we appreciated most was how they kept us informed of all details throughout the process. We received meticulous notes taken from conversations Hannah and Michael had with prospective buyers and/or their agents during both open houses, as well as from private showings. We also appreciated receiving updates on market activity and documentation status. We never had to wonder what was happening as we were kept continuously in the loop and well-informed. The marketing strategy of the KBRE was spot on, and their understanding of the Villa Park market helped us attract serious buyers quickly. We really appreciated that they had beautiful photos taken of our home, had our home professionally-staged and hired Francisco, a fantastic landscaper, for our front yard and backyard, and all of that was included as part of the services provided by KBRE. Our home was priced strategically and beautifully presented, leading to a smooth and successful sale in only a few weeks, which was above the list price! If you are looking for experienced, trustworthy, and communicative real estate professionals, we highly recommend KBRE! They made the entire process stress-free and effective. We are so very happy we chose KBRE as our realtors to sell our home!

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t be happier with the Katnik Brothers team and the incredible job they did selling our home. From start to finish, they were attentive, professional, and always available — sometimes as early as 7:30 in the morning and as late as 9:30 at night. No matter how many questions I had (and there were a lot!), Karl and his staff were patient, kind, and always ready with answers. We truly felt like we were their only client, which speaks volumes about the personalized attention they give. They truly run like a well-oiled machine, with experts in every area of the process. The staging of our home was absolutely beautiful, and thanks to their guidance, our house sold in just nine days — in a market where there weren’t that many buyers. On top of that, Karl Katnik is a master negotiator, and because of his skill we received over asking price! I first met them at an open house seven years ago, and from that day on I knew they were the only team I would trust when it came time to sell my home. Their knowledge, dedication, and commitment to their clients truly set them apart. I honestly don’t know how anyone uses any broker other than the Katnik Brothers. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: There is a reason KBRE are the top realtor in the Orange/Tustin area—they simply deliver superior results for their clients. They came highly recommended from friends who had an exceptional experience when they sold their house in Tustin. From the initial call and first in-person meeting with Karl and Hannah, the KBRE Team was professional, knowledgeable, and had a great plan to help sell our house in Orange. They delivered on *everything* they said they would and then some—from recommending contractors to directing and managing projects to prepare the house for sale. They simply did not miss a beat. And all of their confidence and expertise was balanced with a great sensibility and support for all of our questions and concerns along the way. As busy professionals, this level of attention and service was invaluable for us, knowing we could count on the KBRE Team. And the result? multiple offers in the first week and a selling price above the initial listing. If you’re in the market for a real estate agent to help you buy or sell your home, I highly recommend you give the KBRE a call, you will not be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: The Katnik Brothers Realty Service is second to none with professional and knowledgeable service. They operated as a team with us. Karl was easy to talk to and conscientiously worked to accomplish joint problem solving with us. We highly recommend them for your Realty needs.

Fantastic experience: “I cannot recommend Katnik Brother’s highly enough! From our very first meeting, they were professional, attentive, and truly listened to what we were looking for. Their knowledge of the market was outstanding and gave us honest advice that made us feel confident in our decisions. What impressed us most was their communication. No matter what time of day, Michael Woepse was quick to respond to our questions and kept us updated every step of the way. They negotiated skillfully on our behalf and made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and even enjoyable. Thanks to their expertise, we sold our property quickly at a great price. Beyond being an exceptional agent, they are genuinely kind and caring, and it shows in how much they value their clients. If you are looking for someone who will go above and beyond, Michael Woepse is the one you want by your side! They are a well oiled machine every step of the way!

Fantastic experience: The Katknik Brothers were absolutely fantastic to work with. From the very beginning they made us feel supported and never rushed, walking us through each step with patience and honesty. Selling a home can be overwhelming, but they made the process smooth and reassuring. If I ever need to go through it again, I wouldn’t think twice about working with them.

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of working with Michael Woepse from Katnik Brothers Real Estate, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Michael took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for in our first home and consistently provided communication throughout the entire process. His professionalism, understanding of the real estate landscape, and dedication to customers does not go unnoticed. Home buying can be a stressful process, and Michael made it as seamless as it could go!

Fantastic experience: Karl and his team did a great job selling our house in Tustin. They took care of every detail from marketing to staging and even painting and landscaping to allow us to sell our house quickly and at asking price. Most importantly, they communicated with us every step of the way.

Fantastic experience: We had a very good experience selling our home with Karl Katnik and his team. We believe Karl had the right strategy for selling the property at the right price in a reasonable amount of time. In a down market, we sold the home for almost asking price and in far less time than the average days other homes were on the market. Karl's team was accessible, helpful and informative. They stopped by the house several times to take care of minor errands when we were unavailable. The house staging and landscaping were also on point. We are very glad we used Karl and his team.

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of working with Hannah on the sale of my condo, and I can’t recommend her enough. We encountered some unexpected challenges with the HOA, but Hannah went above and beyond to navigate the issues and keep everything on track. Her professionalism, persistence, and clear communication made a stressful situation so much easier. I would highly recommend Hannah—and the entire office—to anyone looking to buy or sell. She truly made a difference in the process.

Fantastic experience: Five stars isn't enough! Karl, Hannah, and the entire KBRE team were an absolute dream to work with! They had great advice about what to do to the house and walked us through every step of the process. Their communication was amazing! They stayed in constant communication with us and answered texts within minutes. We were dreading the process of selling our childhood home and the Katnik team made it a wonderful experience. We highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

Fantastic experience: WARNING ‼️ beware of hiring Katnick brothers.; they will exceed your high guest expectations that you could never be able to work with any other agents. They are professional, knowledgeable, caring and hardworking. They took care of my transactions so easily that I do not believe my house was sold in less than a 20 days and more that what I expected Zarin

Fantastic experience: Mike Woepse was such a huge help in our home buying process. He was patient, knowledgeable, and always available whenever we needed him. We felt so lucky to work with Mike and Katnik Brothers Real Estate.

Fantastic experience: There are countless glowing reviews about working with the KBRE team to sell a home, and our experience wholeheartedly echoed every single one of them. Before diving into what will likely sound like the same chorus of praise (spoiler: they’re that good—or as Han Solo would say, “It’s true. All of it.”), there’s one standout point we want to shout from the rooftops—or better yet, put on a giant, spotlight-lit sign with a marching band and confetti: when the KBRE team works for you, they truly have your best interests at heart. There were several moments in the process where, if they were just chasing a quick sale, they easily could’ve nudged us in that direction. But time and again, they offered thoughtful, honest guidance. Their integrity and patience left a lasting impression. When our family decided to sell our home, KBRE was the only firm we contacted. We hadn’t worked with them before, but after previous encounters at open houses, property inquiries, and seeing their strong presence in the community left us impressed. From the first meeting with Karl and Hannah, we knew we were in expert hands. Their advice—grounded in deep experience—helped shape a smart, personalized strategy, and they made us feel like valued clients, not just another account number. They handled everything—from magazine-worthy photos and 3D walkthroughs to staging that made us wonder, why didn’t we do it like this? Throughout the process, communication was excellent. Every step was clearly explained, every question promptly answered, and every team member was a joy to work with. Honestly, now that the sale is complete, part of me is a little sad—I’ll miss working with the KBRE team. But I know that if we ever need anything, they’re just a call, text, or email away.

Fantastic experience: Katnik Brothers Real Estate is an excellent real estate to work with, excellent teamwork, get the job done fast and efficiently, all team members are friendly and helpful. I recommend them if you want to sell your home fast and at a good price.

Fantastic experience: We have used the Katnik brothers to buy and sell multiple homes. Every time they have come through with flying colors. They have the most professional staff members you’ll ever work with. No attention to detail is overlooked. Our first sale was with Karl and JJ, then Austin, just recently with Mike. We cannot make a higher recommendation than 5 stars or we would. Use these guys and their staff you will not be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: After 63 years our family was faced with the difficult decision of selling our childhood home; a place where generations had shared memories, love and laughter and amassed a lifetime of family treasures. We knew that letting go of a home filled with a countless number of items and treasurers near to our hearts would be challenging. We would need to find just the right realtor to support us in the journey ahead. We solicited input from friends and interviewed a number of realtors but when we met Karl and heard the KBRE presentation, we knew we had found just the match that would help us pass along our treasured family home to just the right new owners. We had hit paydirt!! Karl and his incredible team were available, ready, and willing to be with us every step of the way. The Katnik Brother’s team gently guided us with the resources to find new homes for the treasured items in the home. They carefully analyzed and identified the strengths of our home and gently made suggestions that helped us showcase these strengths to a potential buyer. With each suggestion, they provided the support and resources to get the job done. The painter, carpet company, landscaper, window and house cleaners were stellar professionals providing quality and timely service at prices that we could not have found independently. Each contractor went above and beyond in their attention to detail. The recommended painting company in particular was wonderful in communicating with us and providing minor upgrades to lighting that improved the overall appeal of the home as part of their service. When they were finished our home sparkled like new and was ready for staging. The tasteful design and staging by the Katnik team transformed our old family home into a modern beautifully appointed home ready to welcome a new generation. One of the most incredible aspects of Karl and his team has been his sense of timing. Every step of this process was strategically planned with an eye on targeting the best timing in the market. Karl’s instincts were right!! After just 2 open houses we had seven offers on our family home at or above asking. With multiple offers, Karl’s exemplary negotiating skills and thoughtful counsel helped our family identify the best buyer to appreciate both our home and the neighborhood. His personal experiences and sensitivity to our needs was the guiding force that made this journey of letting go a celebration for the future. This experience with Karl, JJ, and the entire team has been extraordinary! In this time when kindness and empathy are in short supply, the KBRE team was there extending both with every interaction. They demonstrated genuine patience with every question and were able to connect us with a notary and escrow company who modeled these same values. Their communication was incredible, checking with us and making sure that we were an integral part of every aspect of this process. Work ethic and dedication to meet our needs throughout the process has been a hallmark of their team and we are deeply appreciative knowing that they put our family first with every consideration. Our entire family has the deepest gratitude for their support throughout this journey and we feel blessed to have found KBRE to help us along the way! Julie Engman McNealy, Shelley Engman and Family

Fantastic experience: Having chosen the Katnik Brothers Realestate Agency to market and sell our home was the perfect decision. Our first meeting with Karl and Hannah -- they were extremely organized and professional --- unmatched by any previous realtor or realty company we've experienced (this was the 4th house we've sold). The Katnik team was fully engaged in getting our home sold -- but also at getting us the top market price! We sold our home for above the asking price -- not an easy feat given the market conditions -- nor for the size of our home. This only happened because the entire Katnik team excels at marketing and selling a home -- unlike any other realty company! Throughout the selling process, we received excellent advice -- very timely communication -- and immediate updates from Karl, Hannah, Sabrina and Erika. They were fully engaged in getting our home sold -- from start to finish. Our advice to others, GO WITH TEAM KATNIK! You will NOT be disappointed. The Owens Family

Fantastic experience: My in-laws were the original owners of their North Tustin home and had lived there since 1971. There were many memories (and a lot of stuff) in the house. After my father in law passed away, it was time to sell the house. The home needed a clean-out and refreshing, inside and out. Since my wife and I live in the Central Coast of California, there were additional challenges to doing everything from so far away. Karl, Hannah and the Katnik Brothers Real Estate team helped my wife and me decide what to do and how to do it. They put us in touch with painters and other professionals, and then they staged the house to show it off. Even my mother in law was impressed with the final result, and we all were happy to receive multiple purchase offers after the first week on the market. The Katnik team helped us through every part of the process, including the final negotiations and the closing. Every member of the KBRE team was professional, courteous and a pleasure to work with. We can’t think of anything that they could have done better.

Fantastic experience: We cannot thank the KBRE team enough for their incredible service and support during one of the most stressful times of our lives. They helped us navigate the simultaneous process of selling and buying on a very tight timeline. From the moment we reached out, the team was professional and incredibly responsive. They provided expert guidance on how to prepare our home for sale and their marketing strategy was top-notch, resulting in multiple offers after a single open-house. What stood out the most was their communication. They kept us informed every step of the way, answering every question and addressing any concerns with patience and expertise. We always felt like we were their top priority. Thanks to Mike, Hannah, Karl and the entire team we successfully bought our new home and then sold our old home less than a month later. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dedicated, hardworking, and trustworthy real estate team. Thank you KBRE!

Fantastic experience: Katnik Brothers Real Estate is top-notch! The entire team is professional, friendly, and willing to go above and beyond their job description. My family and I had the pleasure of working with Mike Woepse who delivered outstanding service throughout the entire buying process. He was patient and well-versed on negotiations, keeping our family’s best interests at the forefront. Mike arranged and met with contractors multiple times to coordinate repairs on the property and was always available to answer questions throughout the inspection/repair phase ensuring the repairs were completed quickly, correctly, and cost effectively. Mike clearly explained each step of the buying process making the purchasing experience transparent and less stressful. My family is grateful to Mike and his team for their knowledge, guidance, patience, persistence, and, most importantly, their honesty. I highly recommend Mike and the Katnik Brothers!

Fantastic experience: As first-time homebuyers, my wife and I were completely new to the process and had no idea where to begin. That all changed when we met Michael Woepse of Katnik Brothers Real Estate. Mike took the time to understand our needs and patiently guided us through every step of the process. We couldn’t be more grateful for his expertise and support throughout our journey! What really set Mike apart was his outstanding communication. He was always available to answer our questions, whether by phone, text, or email. He took the time to explain complex terms and processes in clear, easy-to-understand language. We also never felt pressured to make a decision—Mike was incredibly patient and always made sure we were comfortable with each step before moving forward. We always knew exactly what was happening and what to expect next. Mike went above and beyond to ensure we found the perfect home and secured the best deal possible.

If you’re looking for a realtor who genuinely cares about his clients and will support you every step of the way, Mike Woepse is the one you can trust!

Fantastic experience: My husband and I recently sold our home using the Katnick Brothers. They truly were amazing! Mike was our agent...and he was simply the best.The entire team at the Katnik office was able to answer any questions that arose. The whole process was practically stress free. They helped with staging, landscaping and finding us wonderful buyers…

Fantastic experience: The Katnik Group represented us in the sale of our family home in Tustin California. From our first meeting to the close of escrow, this team was far superior than any other realtor we have ever dealt with. Karl one of the main principals, has a system in place with personnel to handle and manage all processes, which made our lives so much easier, plus we enjoyed working with each and every team member. Karl was very upfront and honest with us, and everything he recommended we do to the house (paint, new carpet, stage) was without a doubt the best direction for us to take to capitalize and maximize our sales expereince. We always felt Karl was ALWAYS upfront and honest with us at all times. Thank you Katnik Group for helping our family meet our family goals and advance to the next chapter of our lives, we will miss each of you. xoxoxox Karen & Fred

Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of working with KBRE, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive. They took the time to understand my needs and preferences, and they had our home staged perfectly to sell quickly. Their expertise in the local market was evident, and they provided valuable insights that helped us price our home fairly on the market to sell. The entire process was smooth and stress-free, thanks to their attention to detail and excellent communication. I highly recommend KBRE to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. They truly go above and beyond for their clients, and I am grateful for their outstanding service.

Fantastic experience: When we purchased our house, we never imagined selling or moving. For 25 years, we raised kids, created memories, cultivated traditions, and designed/upgraded the home more than I had even realized. To say we poured our heart and soul into the property, would be an understatement. As our children left, and our interests began to change, we began to dabble with the idea of a different life. It took a few years before we could even find a place that would be special enough for us to consider moving. All of that was before we could even address the heaviness we felt of handing our beloved home over to another family. Once the decision made, we reached out to KBRE for a consultation. When Karl and Hannah arrived, we knew we made the right choice, and were in the right hands. Not only were they able to easily identify all that we had upgraded and put into the home, but they quickly realized it was a very weighty emotional choice for us. From the time of the meeting, through the close of escrow, everyone on the entire KBRE team honored what Karl and Hannah saw on that first meeting. The team walked was able to walk a beautiful tightrope of honoring and commanding all that the property was worth, along with the heavy emotional decision it was for us. What could have easily felt transactional and heart crushing, turned into an exciting feeling of sharing our home and passing it on for the next family to create and celebrate love and traditions. The words professional, efficient, and communicative do not even do this team justice. Everything from staging, landscaping, marketing, scheduling, home tours, paperwork, and finally choosing the right guardian of our home, were all done in the same spirit of professionalism covered in love and care. We cannot recommend Karl, Hannah, Sabrina, Kiara, Michael, Erika, JJ, and everyone on the KBRE team enough. They are beyond anything you could think of to ask for or need in a real estate team.

Fantastic experience: KBRE 8532 E. Chapman Ave Orange, CA 92869 10/24/24 When faced with the daunting and unexpected task of selling our beloved mom’s house, we interviewed multiple realtors. Katnik Brothers was hands down the most thorough, experienced and organized both in their presentations and in their representation. They provided us with market research, an action plan, and solutions to the many tasks involved with not only selling but preparing to sell a house. There was not a single item left unmanaged and they thought of many things before we even could. Communication is key in any sale and we were kept informed every step along the way. KBRE's team is exceptional and their business model is highly effective. Our house was sold and closed in less than a month. We highly recommend Katnik Bros and remain grateful to Hannah Goldman for her professionalism, competence, compassion and communication throughout the entire process. With Gratitude, Vanessa Decker & Chrissy Palmer

Fantastic experience: When my family purchased our dream home out of state on a bit of a whim (without listing our home in CA yet), we knew we needed the best Realtors around to get our home listed and sold as quickly as possible. We instantly thought of the Katnick Brothers, as we had consistently seen their signage and post card mailers with countless homes listed and (and very soon after) sold all around the area by them, for so many years. Karl, JJ, Hannah and the entire KBRE team far exceeded every one of our hopeful expectations! From the moment Karl and JJ met with us, we knew we were in the best hands. We greatly appreciated every one of their very helpful and thought-out recommendations. With us being out of state for majority of the process, they made us feel like we were right there every step of the way. From the new carpeting that was installed, to the professional photos, beautiful staging and landscaping, and Open Houses – we were so impressed with their outstanding communication, friendliness, attention to detail and amount of effort they put into every part of the process. Karl, JJ, Hannah and the entire KBRE team made the process so incredibly efficient and smooth! Their professionalism, thoroughness and kindness were far beyond what we could have expected. We highly recommend KBRE to anyone looking to sell or buy their home/property!

Fantastic experience: If I could give more STARS I would. From the first meeting, to the day our house closed KBRE (Hannah and Karl) were beyond amazing. When you hire KBRE you get an entire team who all have your best interest in mind. They were constantly updating us, guiding us and encouraging us through the entire process. We never once felt like we were left in the dark. The connections they have in OC made the process so easy and seamless. There is not one thing I would have changed. So grateful for KBRE. I would highly recommend using them if you plan on selling your home.

Fantastic experience: I am writing this review in whole-hearted appreciation of KBRE, the outstanding real estate team that assisted us with the sale of our Tustin home. Their exceptional service exceeded all of our expectations and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. From start to finish, KBRE demonstrated a level of professionalism and real estate acumen that was simply unparalleled. Their comprehensive knowledge of the Tustin market, coupled with their savvy negotiating skills, ensured that their service was not only effective but also highly efficient. One of the aspects we appreciated most about working with KBRE was their proactive communication. They regularly kept us informed about each step in the process, answering our questions promptly and ensuring we understood every aspect of the transaction. Their commitment to transparency made us feel involved and secure in what is often a daunting process. What further set KBRE apart was their warm approachability. They were personable and engaging, making us feel like a priority at all times. The kind of dedicated, personal service we received is a rarity in today's day in age! Moreover, their impressive marketing strategies and wide network of contacts greatly increased the visibility of our house in the competitive market, ultimately leading to a successful and quick sale. We cannot recommend KBRE highly enough for their commitment, integrity, and extensive real estate experience. They truly transformed our home-selling experience into a pleasurable one. If you are looking for a team who will go beyond the call of duty to ensure your real estate goals are met, look no further than KBRE. Thank you, KBRE, for turning what could have been a stressful situation into a seamless and rewarding experience. We are beyond grateful.

Fantastic experience: The Katnik team made the sale of my property an outstanding experience. I’ve bought and sold several properties before, but this was by far the smoothest process. They were always one step ahead, ensuring I was in the best position to get top dollar for my property. I will definitely use them again when I buy a property in the future.

Fantastic experience: Been meaning to write this review for couple months now but wanted to give some praise to Katnik Brothers. I had an amazing experience working with Mike as my realtor during the process of purchasing my first home with my girlfriend. From the very beginning, Mike was incredibly patient and knowledgeable, guiding us through every step with a level of professionalism that made us feel confident and comfortable. He took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and went above and beyond to find homes that matched our vision. Mike was always available to answer our questions, no matter how small, and his honest advice helped us navigate the complexities of the real estate market with ease. What truly set Mike apart was his dedication and personal approach. He was genuinely invested in helping us find the perfect home, and his attention to detail ensured that we didn’t miss anything important during inspections and negotiations. Mike’s expertise and calm demeanor made the whole experience enjoyable, even during the stressful moments of decision-making. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide through this process, and we’re thrilled with our new home. I highly recommend Mike to anyone looking for a realtor who will go the extra mile!

Fantastic experience: UPDATE: We sold our condo and bought our next home with Katnik Brothers in 2020 (easy breezy). Hannah helped us again and we will only work with this phenomenal agency in the future! #KatnikAlumni ——- We began our housing search in February 2017 after our landlord decided to sell the condo that we had been renting. With a new baby due in early April, an impending move-out date, and a low-inventory real estate market, it was critical for us to act fast. Initially, we had worked with several other Orange County-based realtors; however, we found that they were not moving fast enough to handle viewings, inquiries, and offers in a competitive marketplace. We decided to reach out to the Katnik Brothers based on the recommendation of a friend who had recently purchased a home in Tustin Ranch with their assistance. We were immediately impressed with the expertise, responsiveness, and integrity of the entire team. Hannah was our primary agent for our search. She was professional, diligent, and very helpful in answering our many questions. In particular, we appreciated the speed of our communications via phone, text, and email. Most of our queries were answered in just a few minutes, day or night. Ultimately, with Hannah’s help, we had an offer accepted in less than a week, and moved into our new home just one month after our initial meeting! In addition to their stellar professional qualities, we found the members of the Katnik Brothers staff to be easy-going and personable. They went out of their way to make our six-year-old daughter welcome during meetings at their office and during showings. Like a family friend, Hannah even took time from her busy schedule to visit us in our new home after our newest baby was born. We are grateful to the Katnik Brothers for their help and expertise, and offer them our highest recommendation without reservation. If you are looking for an Orange County real estate firm, look no further—you can't go wrong with the Katnik team!

Fantastic experience: We contacted the Katnik Brothers nearly two years ago after we bought a new house that was undergoing some remodeling. We met with Karl Katnik and his associate Hannah and went over their proposal for selling our house. As it happened, the remodel took far longer than originally planned, and we had to put off selling our house for nearly a year. Karl checked in with us monthly just to see where we were in the process, and when we were finally close to the time we would list, he and Hannah came back and gave us all new comps once again. I was adamant that we have no open houses and that I wanted to be moved out of the house before it was listed. The Katniks and their team worked with us on everything we wanted, and they arranged for a gardener to spruce up the yard and for staging inside the house. We went on the market on a Friday afternoon at 5 p.m., and we had an offer well above asking price after a total of four days on the market. Escrow went smoothly as well, and they stayed in touch with us throughout the process. We've bought and sold many houses over the years, and this was by far the smoothest transaction yet.

Fantastic experience: Mike and the KRBE team are absolutely fantastic from beginning to end. If you have any hesitations about picking a realtor, look no further. You’ll be in great hands with anyone on their team. When looking for a realtor to help us purchase a home, I reviewed about 10-15 other realtors before finding KRBE. I was a little skeptical about all of the glowing reviews, but after working with them, I can say without a doubt every one of them was earned. Right from the beginning, Mike was very clear, honest, and transparent: all qualities that we struggled to find with our previous realtors. From sharing the MLS list, to walking us though buyer negotiations, and through closing, Mike was very punctual, made things as easy for us as possible, and was very informative. He worked well with our lender as well as escrow, and helped keep communication clear and ensured we stayed in track for our closing timeline. We were lucky to be able to close within a month of viewing the first home we looked at! Thank you Mike for all of your help; you made the home buying process very easy and we look forward to working with you in the future!!

Fantastic experience: Katnik Brothers Real Estate is a great real estate company. They helped me purchase my first home and sold the same home years later for over the listing price. Mike Woepse was my main point of contact this time around. He was great throughout the entire process. He was thorough, always kept me updated, and patient with my demanding needs. I have 3 dogs, which made it a challenge for potential buyers to have the time to see the property. Throughout my madness, Michael Woespse was always calm and worked with me. Katnik brothers has an amaing team who listen and care about their clients. I have had a great experience with the team when buying 7 years ago and now selling today. I would recommend the Katnik brothers Real Estate to any person looking around for a realtor.

Fantastic experience: I reached out to KBRE 1 ½ years ago for a consultation and met with Hannah and Mike. I told them I wanted to sell my house, but I was not in a rush and knew that I had things to improve for the sale. They walked the house with me and gave me their advice on what things to change. No pressure. Over the following year plus, Hannah would follow up with me periodically on my progress. Each time we talked I had some additional questions. She continued to provide me with advice. I continued to make the changes that made sense. Still no pressure. When I got to a point where I had made a substantial amount of the changes, I asked Hannah to walk through the house once more. We reviewed my progress and discussed what else I ought to do to maximize the value for the sale. We agreed on the items and Hannah helped coordinate the work. In addition, Hannah put a detailed schedule of activities that needed to get done to list the house. I then left the state for several weeks, and while I was gone Hannah managed the process to complete all of the work, the staging, the landscaping, and the photography. We had a call to rediscuss the listing price, and we agreed on what made sense based on the current competitive homes on the market. When I returned, my house was like a model home, and it was listed on the MLS. Hannah and the KBRE team then worked with me on the private showings. Their communication was fantastic! In a week I had multiple offers. After reviewing all of the options, I ended up selling over asking and Hannah supported me through the negotiation and expedited closing process. From listing to close was about one month. These are the things that stood out to me with using KBRE: First, the responsiveness. Hannah is extremely responsive and communicative, and the rest of the KBRE team was, too. I could not have been happier on this aspect. Secondly, no pressure. I told them upfront this was going to be a long process and they never pushed me to accelerate it. We worked on my timeline. I was also always asked whether I could accommodate the private showings. They were respectful of my time. Thirdly, they provided sound advice on what changes I should make. I am rather discerning on getting value back for spending money upfront. I feel like the work I did on the house had a good return on the final price. Lastly, their staging and landscaping work, which they pay for, was excellent. I was happy with how the house showed and it demonstrated its value in the sale. I highly recommend Hannah and KBRE, and have already told several of my neighbors to talk to them. Selling your house is a stressful event – KBRE helped alleviate the stress and delivered a great result. Sincerely, Scott

Fantastic experience: We reached out to the Katnik Brothers when it came time to sell our home because they sold our next door neighbors house a few years back and they seemed to be the most involved in our community compared to other realtors. And boy did we make the right decision. From the moment that Karl and Hannah met with us when we signed the listing agreement, to the day that escrow closed, we have nothing but good things to say. Since we had very little experience in real estate, having lived in our home for several decades, we were a little concerned about our lack of knowledge and also unclear about what we would need to do to get our house ready to put on the market. We found that they both were amazingly easy to talk to, never talked down to us, always made us feel like there aren’t any dumb questions, and gave us solid advice every step of the way. They really took so much time to communicate regularly and give us constant updates on everything that was happening, It was truly such a pleasant experience. I had anticipated lots and lots of stress throughout the whole process, it was the exact opposite. Highly recommend this company due to their skill, knowledge, and professionalism.

Fantastic experience: I don't support or disparage products or services on social media primarily because I don't believe half of the reviews I read. This will be the exception. I needed to sell my fathers home as he moved to a board and care facility. KBRE brochures were one of several in his mailbox. After preliminary investigation I decided I would confer with them first. I met with Hannah at my fathers residence and explained I would be meeting with other realtors and eventually listing with the one who best met my needs (meaning I would need help with everything) How to empty the house, finding contractors, brokerage fees, likely sales price etc. There was no question left unanswered and no pressure to list. I took my time emptying the house which I decided to do on my own. I got an occasional text from Hannah asking if she could be of service or if she could answer any new questions I may have. still no pressure. I decided to go with KBRE when I was ready as long as Hannah was the agent I would be working with. All of my inquiries regarding home preparation were met with several options including price, quality of materials, timelines and return on investment projections. The third party companies did the work and I wrote the checks (perfect). After the work. landscaping and staging the house was beautiful & ready for sale. Didn't take long sold above asking quick escrow transfer. couldn't be happier thanks Hannah you're the best

Fantastic experience: Without a doubt, we made the right choice to go with Katnik Brothers Real Estate to handle the sale of my elderly parents family home of 50 years in Orange Park Acres. Their home was in poor shape and our family resources were extremely limited to be able to ready it for sale appropriately, due to several serious, costly health issues in our family. We resolved in our minds that for us to have to sell in "as is" condition, we would likely sell under market value. However, Karl Katnik came in with his positivity and restored hope for us that we didn't need to necessarily settle for less and assured us that he and his team would work hard for us. Karl Katnik and the whole team work together efficiently and quickly in a timely manner. They truly care for their clients with such kindness, patience and professionalism. They went above and beyond our expectations! Their marketing resources, strategies and wisdom used in their knowledge of the field are top tier compared to other realtors we have ever known and encountered. They operate with integrity and know how to work the deals with expertise. We were pleasantly surprised at how much attention was brought to our family's property and how many offers were made in just a week. We had many choices to consider and Karl and his team walked us through the sale, over market value, confidently. We highly recommend Katnik Brothers Real Estate!

Fantastic experience: I cannot thank the Katnik Brothers enough for assisting me with the sale of my home. The team is the most professional, communicative, and knowledgeable group I have ever met. They helped turn my beaten-up townhome into a showstopper in as little as 3 weeks, which in turn created a bidding war for my property. Karl and Hannah guided me every step of the way with painting, repairs, carpeting and flooring. Their staging team turned my townhouse into a beautiful model home. Their knowledge and customer service is undeniably the best I have ever experienced. I would never use another real estate team again after being spoiled with this 5-star service. Thank You KBRE team! Sincerely, Kimberly Mello

Fantastic experience: KBRE - Katnik Brothers Real Estate Review - Mike Woepse exceeded our expectations throughout the entire home purchasing process and was incredible through every stage of it. He was an ally, friend, and advisor who helped us navigate the complex transactions! With Mike’s calm demeanor, we felt like we were always “ahead of the curve” every step of the way, which was entirely due to his attention to detail and dedication. We knew Mike always had us covered. The same kudos apply equally to Hannah Goldman and for her expertise on selling my property and her help on the purchase. Jackie staged my home beautifully and it looked amazing in the photos and video! The escrow team came through for us on both the sale and purchase which were10-day escrows! Sincerest thanks to the entire Katnik Bros Real Estate (KBRE) team for being a part of purchasing a new home and selling one! We appreciate all that you did! Sincerely, Silvana and Drew

Fantastic experience: We interviewed both Katnik brothers and were very inpressed with both of them. We decided to list our home with them and it was Karl that was our main contact with the firm. I can't say enough good things about him. He was very respectful of our time, our money, and our thoughts and reservations with dealing with potential buyers. He also was very generous with his time and made every effort to sell our home quickly and favorably. They staged and beautifully photographed our home and made a souvenir CD for us to keep. If we ever decided to sell a home again, we would definitely contact them.

Fantastic experience: The Katnik Brothers entire team was amazing. We worked with Sarah and Mike primarily but everyone was there to pick up the phone and answer any questions we had. Sarah was extremely attentive, checking in and answering any and all questions. She listened and understood exactly what we were looking for in a home. We were first time homebuyers and I don’t think we could have had a better experience! As nervous as we were to purchase our first house, they eased our nerves and supported us and helped us with anything we needed. We are so lucky we got into our dream home and could not have done it without Sarah and Mike!

Fantastic experience: It was a pleasure working with Mike, Karl, Kathleen, Erika and the rest of the team to sell two homes this year. They are super organized, professional and prompt, and met my expectations of assisting my family and keeping us on track with the timeline we wanted. The team is like an elite concierge service for property transactions, they take care of every detail and hold your hand and walk you through seamlessly. In a world where we now pretty much expect poor customer service and performance, they are a wonderful reminder of what REAL customer service is. They set a high standard for themselves, and that is reflected in their results. Thank you KBRE.

Fantastic experience: When the time came to sell my dearly departed mother's home of 45 years in the City of Orange I chose the Katnik Bros Realty. I was not disappointed as I had previously been with my experience of working with other realtors. The Katnik team provided me with excellent Seller service and a refreshing professionalism throughout the process. The team made me feel as though my mother's house was the only house that they were managing which made me feel as top priority! The whole team was always there ready to respond or act whenever I had a question or concern. If I had to do it all over again, I would definitely START with the Katnik Brothers and NOT waste any of my time with ANYONE else peddling lower seller's fees, fake buyer offers, or unrealistic promises. As Executor Trustee, it made my job less stressful as the Katnik team helped get my family TOP dollar for the home which made all the benefactors very happy. If you want a real-estate team that is knowledgeable, friendly, and reliable in the City of Orange and the surrounding areas, then the Katnik Brothers Realty is the BEST CHOICE!

Fantastic experience: This was the first time my husband and I have sold a home. My husband is very methodical and thoughtful in executing big decisions, so selling our beloved home was something he spent time researching. I remember the night he called me and told me that he spoke to someone at Katnik (now I know it was Mike) and he told me he gave our info but most likely we were going to go with a local realtor who knew the area and even lived in the neighborhood. We were prepared to sign with the other realtor, but Robert (said husband) suggested we meet with the Katnik team as well to weigh our options. My goodness, I am beyond grateful we did. From the first meeting, it was a class act above anything I could have expected. Kathleen and Mike arrived on time for our first meeting at our home, where I was frantically getting my two toddlers to bed and the house was a mess. They were not only kind and understanding, but immediately made you feel comfortable talking to them about something so important. They were thoughtful about taking so much time in answering all our questions and delivered a very impressive outline of step by step what to expect if we went with them. I was especially impressed by the free staging of the home and the 3D filming of the home included in their marketing. Without even having conversation yet, I knew the company Robert and I would be choosing to sell our home. Fast forward to the process of home selling. Erika steps in and spent time on the phone with Robert several times going through great detail of our disclosures. Laura came and staged our home beautifully and a landscaper added beautiful touches to our front yard. Austin conducted our open house where I had some questions throughout and he immediately called me to provide any reassurance needed. Sabrina was always communicating and working with our schedule for showings. We felt so supported by the entire team but Mike definitely kept us step by step informed when it came to the big time decisions and it made this process feel so effortless. My review is long because they deserve the time they took and invested in selling our home. Even after the home was sold, the lovely Sabrina brought US a gift to thank us with a hand written note. To say that going with the Katnik Group to sell or buy a home is going with a class act above the rest is an understatement. If I were to buy or sell a home in California again, they would be the team to do it for us. Thank you again team!!! Robert & Amanda Gorrin

Fantastic experience: Katnick Brothers Real Estate is simply the best. From beginning to end they are the consummate professionals. They are incredibly knowledgeable, responsive and polite and had every answer to every question. First and foremost they know the market much better than the other agents we met with, but they always made us feel as if we were their only client. They are hands down the only real estate agency I would ever consider using.

Fantastic experience: My first experience with Katnik Brothers was with my Irvine home five years ago. The results were exceptional, requiring little, if any effort on my part. As executor of my uncles estate, I was charged with the responsibility of selling his home. Again, I turned to Katnik Brothers. Katnik Brothers did all the work…. the house was sold in record time, for top dollar. Should I be faced with a similar situation? I would turn to Katnik Brothers for five star results. I unconditionally recommend Katnik Brothers. Suzanne Sellars.

Fantastic experience: These gentlemen are the absolute best and their team is a true asset to them and you as client. During the entire sales process Karl Katnik was available 24/7 to answer any question we had. They have a proven technique for what they do but most importantly they possess and show honesty, integrity and absolute diligence during the entire process and beyond. Even after the sale was concluded and our move was underway Karl and his team offered to help us with our out of state home purchase without any compensation.

Fantastic experience: The difference is in the details! From the very first phone call it was clear to me that Karl at Katnik Brothers is cut from a slightly different cloth. Karl, Hannah, and the entire team at Katnit Brothers was attentively accurate and passionate about helping us sell our home in a slightly challenging market time. Nothing was perfect about the deal. Not our timing not our circumstances, and not our home. Yet, the Katnik team came through with flying colors and helped sell our home faster than we imagined and for a higher price than we expected. What I truly appreciated the most is that the entire Katnik team was “genuine”. If they smiled, it was genuine. And if they didn’t that was genuine too. We always knew where we stood. Honesty and transparency are what I value and the Katnik team exudes both these qualities extremely well. It would be an honor and a pleasure to work with them again!

Fantastic experience: We loved working with KBRE from selling to purchasing our parent’s home! They staged the house well when selling and really know the north Tustin market! We worked with Mike in purchasing and although it took 1.5 years to find a home, he was so patient with us AND prompt with any responses/requests the entire process. Thank you KBRE for seamless transactions and your professionalism!

Fantastic experience: To Karl, Hanna and the entire KBRE team, We would just like to say thanks to the entire Katnik Brothers team for all that they did in the selling of our home. Karl and Hanna were the first two of this fantastic team we met when we made the final decision to sell. This was our family home for the past 50 years and a scary and traumatic decision for us to make. I was absolutely amazed and blown away from the very beginning to the end of the teamwork and all each and every one of them did through this entire process. The communications could not have been any better. We talked to some member of the team on seemingly a daily basis. It was truly a wonderful and learning experience as they guided us through the entire process. They staged our home so it was more appealing to the general public. They took wonderful pictures and videos for the customers and other brokers to see and market this beautiful home also. We would highly recommend to anyone who was selling our, buying a home you could not find anyone and we mean anyone who would do a better job than the Katnik Brothers Real Estate Team. Arla and Bill Barron

Fantastic experience: We had the best experience with the Katnik Brothers. They treated us with the utmost care and guided us through selling our house quickly, smoothly and for the best price! They were always there to answer any questions promptly and exuded professionalism throughout the entire process. We are forever thankful to Karl and his team and would recommend them over and over again! When we are ready to buy/sell again, we are only working with them!

Fantastic experience: February 1, 2023 Katnik Brothers Real Estate, 8532 E Chapman Ave, Orange, CA 92869 SOLD: 10604 Sumter Way, Tustin, CA 92782 Close of Escrow: January 10, 2023 Over the course of 40 years, we have bought and sold 15 homes from coast-to-coast and have had numerous real estate agents. Working with Karl, Hannah, and their team has been the best experience we have ever had. The hallmark of the KBRE business model is delivering excellent, personalized professional service through amazing communication. Everyone on their team is top notch! Karl's market expertise and ability to negotiate were outstanding. Our every need was taken into consideration. Without reservation we can say they are the best. John and Karen Curnutte Coronado, CA

Fantastic experience: I really appreciate how professionally Karl and Hannah handled the sale of our home. Communication was outstanding. I was kept updated and my questions were answered promptly. As an out of state seller, the team handled everything including scheduling contractors in order to get the house on the market quickly. I can’t tell you how much their time, effort and kindness was appreciate. I would highly recommend KBRE if you are looking to buy or sell your home. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Katnik Brothers Real Estate did an amazing job for our family when we had to sell our beloved family home after mom died. They were incredibly efficient, professional and did a spectacular job. The home sold in days for a price above my expectations and no issues. Hannah and Karl kept me informed the whole process and everyone on their team did their jobs perfectly. I can't recommend them highly enough!

Fantastic experience: My family really appreciated working with Hannah Goldman and Karl Katnik in the quick sale of my parents 57 year old home. Our parents passed in late Spring. Both Hannah and Karl helped us come up with a good price and staging strategy that allowed us to put the house on the market and sell it quickly. The Katnik team were extraordinarily competent, patient, great communicators and fast. All the team deserves great praise. If you’re wondering what company to use…I heartily recommend KBRE. ~Deborah Brock

Fantastic experience: December 5, 2022 Katnick Brothers Real Estate Team 8532 E. Chapman Orange, CA 92869 Re: The Sale of 406 N. Brook Glen Lane, Orange, CA 92869 Dear Karl, Hannah, and the entire KBRE Team We are writing this letter to express our gratitude for the dedication, professionalism, and hard work of Hannah Goldman, Karl Katnick, and the rest of the team members in completing the successful sale of Helen’s home. The current real estate market is a far cry from what it was just one year ago. Interest rates are up and so are buyers’ expectations as to price and quality. In boom times, anyone can sell your property, but in a more challenging and unpredictable environment, you need agents that have their fingers on the market’s pulse and can provide honest, practical, and up-to-the-minute guidance. We chose the KBRE Team for all these reasons. The process went smoothly from the outset. KBRE impressed us with their in-depth knowledge of the neighborhood. Since Helen has lived here for over 35 years, it was reassuring to talk to agents who were intimately familiar with the area. The landscaping upgrade on the home’s exterior was stunning and the inspired staging was done with a minimum of disruption but completely transformed the look and feel of the home in a way that greatly appealed to prospective buyers. We felt particularly fortunate to be working with Hannah Goldman, who provided faultless execution. She helped us painlessly navigate through the contract and disclosure requirements, gave us regular updates, and always responded to our questions and concerns in a remarkably prompt time frame. Although the market proved to be rougher than we anticipated, Hannah made it feel like smooth sailing all the way. We cannot recommend Hannah, Karl, and their team highly enough for anyone’s real estate needs. Thank you for a super job! Helen and Arnold Miyamoto

Fantastic experience: Karl and Hannah and the rest of the team made the process of selling our home easy. We were very conflicted about whether we should sell and they never put pressure on us throughout the process, sincerely putting our best interests as their top priority. Prepping the home for sale moved very quickly because of their timely recommendations and connections. They also foot the bill for landscaping and staging. And beyond all that, we received top dollar as soon as we went on the market.

Fantastic experience: The whole KBRE team, especially our agent Michael, made sure we were supported and informed as first time home buyers. He listened to our needs and helped find the right home for us. We were never pressured in the slightest to make offers on homes that didn’t meet our needs. He was always ready to answer questions any time of the day or night (mostly night in our case after our kids went to bed) and provided trustworthy advice.

Fantastic experience: Sarah and I both highly recommend KBRE. Karl, Hannah and their team were fully engaged from the first day, from assessing the market and house, helping us prep the property,and quickly readying staging, website and video productions. Once the house hit the market (after the peak) their team engaged their target client list and reached out to brokers until a good buyer match was found. Once we had offers, Karl’s approach, discussion, advice and negotiating skills kept the deal on track in a volatile market and ultimately resulting in an on time closing at an excellent price. Their team made the entire process, which involves a lot of documents, straightforward and hassle free. Thank you Karl and KBRE

Fantastic experience: 22 August 2022 The Katnik Brothers are a very professional and thorough team. I was nervous to sell my long-time home, but they assured me and answered any questions I had throughout the sale. I relied on their team every step of the way. I loved the showing process and was happy with the consistent updates. The detailed feedback kept me in the loop at all times. Erika and Hannah were always there to answer any questions I had regarding signing certain documents throughout the sale process. Overall, my experience with the Katnik Brothers was amazing and not what I had expected. They are a wonderful team, and I would recommend their services to anyone selling their home or buying a home. Sincerely, Susan F

Fantastic experience: We had the pleasure of working with the KBRE Team on the recent sale of our home in Orange and we could not be happier with the results. Our primary contacts were Karl Katnick and Hannah Goldman however the entire team of KBRE was there to help us along the way. No matter who we worked with, directly or indirectly, the team was punctual, friendly, professional and masters of their position. Having lived in our home for 35 years, the process of selling was new to us and we felt supported and were able to navigate the process with KBRE’s support. After staging, landscaping, photography and video, the online presentation really highlighted the qualities that made our home special. Due to the advance work done by the KBRE team and working with us to price our home within an everchanging market, we had three offers within the first week. Special thanks to Hannah for always responding to any question we had, and I had plenty, with a prompt replies. Your constant communication put us at ease with the process. We would highly recommend using the Katnik Brothers Real Estate team for any of your real estate needs.

Fantastic experience: I saw my neighbors selling their homes for record high's and I just took a new job 40 miles away so I figured it was great timing to sell my house. I met with Karl Katnik and Hannah. They were professional, friendly and knowledgeable from the very beginning. I unfortunately took my time to list with them as I wasn't sure I wanted to take that big leap. They didn't put pressure on my but they also made themselves easily and readily available. So when I finally listed my house, it was just about the same time interest rates went above 5%. So relatively speaking timing on my part wasn't that good and every article I read talked about offers being much fewer and further in-between all the sudden. I ended up discounting my house a bit, and started to change my mind and was going to lease my house out. However I do believe that if not for the Katnik Brothers attention to detail, responsiveness and overall ability I would not have got the offer I did. I figured the level of professionalism and responsibility they gave me they also performed at the same level with the buyer's team and all the behind the scenes stuff that I didn't see. I don't think I would have sold for what I did or at all if I went with a different realtor. They are on top of every detail, trust worthy and made a big confusing transaction easy. I would definitely use them again.

Fantastic experience: This was our third home purchase, but this time was different--we were jumping into a home search in a notoriously difficult buyer's market. We had heard the stories of people making 20-30 offers before one was accepted. We did not know what to expect, but we knew we needed to find the right home for our family, and we knew we needed to work with someone who had the skills necessary to allow us to compete in this market. We interviewed three other agents before stumbling on the Katnik Brothers website.  The website promised a lot, but could they deliver? I left an after-hours phone message at the office, briefly explaining our situation. Shortly afterward, I got a call from Austin. I knew immediately he was different than the other agents I talked to. For one thing, he was immediately responsive—not just with the call back, but every time he said he'd send us information, he’d do it promptly. Sounds like a basic thing, right? We never experienced working with an agent so responsive before. Austin comes across as assertive, pleasant, and confident without being pushy, aggressive, or passive. That's a hard balance to strike! We knew we'd want to work with someone that could establish a good rapport with a seller's agent, and he fit the bill. He also set up a meeting at his office the next day, and he not only explained what Katnik Brothers was about, but offered to take us to showings that weekend, before we signed an agreement to work with them. We just knew he’d be the person we’d want to work with. Austin took us to showings for weekends on end, never pressuring us to settle or make an offer on a house that was overpriced or otherwise not what we needed. In fact, there were several times he really encouraged us to not settle and to be patient. He also very actively discouraged us from waiving our contingencies. He was realistic with us that it could take a while, but we'd find the right house. Approximately two months after we started our search, we found The One. Austin immediately went into gear--drawing up the offer, calling the seller's agent, and coordinating with our lender so our lender could call the seller's agent directly and pitch for us. And our offer was accepted--only $2,000 over asking, with our contingencies in place! He explained every step of the process and ensured the inspection process went smoothly. And even after that, he didn't stop--he took the items in the inspection reports and presented a very well-put together letter to the seller's agent requesting a credit for repairs, justifying every request. He got us the full amount he requested. We are now in a home of our own that we love. Thanks to Austin, we never had to settle on something that just wasn't right. He always said you "just know" when you find the house that's right for you. I think it's the same way with real estate agents--we "just knew" he'd be the right person to work with on this very important decision, and we're so thankful for all his work.

Fantastic experience: SECOND REVIEW 16 JUNE 2022 Home Sold: 27736 Via Rodrigo Thank you Karl, JJ and the KBRE team for another job well done! This is the second time in 3 years we have used KBRE. The first time was selling my Dad's house in Lemon Heights. Knowing the Katniks as they grew up in North Tustin I felt very comfortable using them to sell my Dad's house in an area dominated by another well known Tustin Area Broker. Despite the pessimism of my Dad's neighbors, KBRE sold the house at full asking price well above the listing price of several similarly situated homes in the area, represented by other Brokers. This go round they sold my In-Laws home in an area that was somewhat out of their market. But knowing the due diligence they would put into the effort my wife and I felt confident they would perform. The house was in a bit of a unique aera -Costa Del Sol in Mission viejo, a 55+ community. Due to a cooling market and the fact that most of the buyers would be "downsizing" as they retired, Karl warned me that this would be most likely a "contingent" type sale. He was correct. After rejecting several offers we received one $20,000 over asking price. KBRE went to work and researched the Buyers situation thoroughly. Based upon their research, Karl and Hannah felt the buyer's sale would go through and we should accept their contingent offer. We did and it did. It was a bit stressful dealing with the HOA but Karl calmed me down and KBRE took care of all of the HOA's nitpicking requests. KBRE has a stable of very reasonable contractors to get your house ready for sale and their staging is impeccable. I highly recommend KBRE. They take the stress out of selling. Conrad and Debbie Hohener FIRST REVIEW: Dear JJ and Karl (AKA The Katnik Brothers): It was a great pleasure working with you and your team. As a lifelong North Tustin resident, I know many people in the business with whom we could have worked with in selling my Dad’s house. One brokerage in particular seems to not only specialize in the North Tustin area where my Dad’s house is located, they appear to have had a great deal of success in that area. In fact, many of my Dad’s neighbors where somewhat surprised when we chose your Team over someone from that particular brokerage. However, both my brother and I were very impressed with your initial proposal and analysis of the market and where to place our house in the spectrum. It proved to be an excellent choice on our part. Your decorating consultant proved to be spot on in updating the interior of the home to best showcase it. I also was very pleased with your ability to get the painting and flooring contractor(s) to respond quickly so we could get the house on the market in the prime selling season. From the outset your team’s communication was outstanding. I really appreciated the fact that once we decided to go with you, my brother and I did not need to get involved with the scheduling of the interior and exterior work at all. I was also impressed with how the open house(s) went and more importantly the closing process! It was all seamless. I would not hesitate to strongly recommend the Katnik Brothers to anyone interested in selling their home. Thank you again for your outstanding service and attention to detail. Conrad F. Hohener, III

Fantastic experience: From the very first presentation the Katnik Brothers team made for the listing of our home, they performed beyond our expectations. They are highly knowledgeable about the market, extremely thorough and on top of every detail and were very responsive throughout the entire process. At no point did we wonder what was happening with our listing or have to navigate any of the process on our own. They also provided additional services at no extra cost to us that we believe helped sell our home for top dollar, such as landscaping and staging. We couldn't recommend this team more highly. A special shout out to Hannah Goldman, who was such a pro and a pleasure to work with.

Fantastic experience: If you want to get the highest price when you sell your house, then you must use Katnik Brothers Real Estate (KBRE) Services. It is not one person that you list with but a whole team of professional experts that communicate with you every step of the way. We were so impressed with every aspect of service - from staging the house to freshening up the landscaping with color spots/mulch at no expense to the seller. Their website included professional photos, video and a 3-D walk-through of our house. We are totally impressed with KBRE! I HIGHLY recommend KBRE to all my friends!

Fantastic experience: Katnik brothers are the gold standard. We listed our home, and had offers the first day (over asking price) of showing and ultimately had four offers. From our first meeting with Karl Katnik and throughout the listing, staging, showing and ultimately Escrow and closing all the Katnik team members were responsive, supportive and sensitive to our stresses of selling a home in which we have lived 20+ years. Their support and attention to detail made the process go without a hitch. in addition the marketing materials and pictures posted were first class. Having bought and sold a series of five homes in a 30 year period we would give Katnik Brothers a10+, double any of our previous experiences. Thank you Karl, Hanna and the entire Katnik team.

Fantastic experience: I would like to thank Karl Katnik, Hannah Goldman and all the other members of their team that did an outstanding job selling my home in North Tustin. When it came time to put my home on the market, I had narrowed down the list of potential realtors to 4 well-known and successful realtors in my area. After interviewing each of them and asking many direct questions about their selling strategy and why I should choose them, I decided on the Katnik Brothers firm with their team of professionals handling all aspects of the selling process. It turned out to be a great decision. On Karl and Hannah’s advice, I listed the home at estimated market value, not intentionally lower as some realtors do to bring in more potential buyers. I liked that KBRE listings includes interior design consulting, staging and some landscaping at no additional cost. Their staging consultant recommended painting a few rooms to make the home move-in ready and Hannah arranged the bid for that work. When the home was ready for the market, the photography and 3D modeling highlighted the home’s best features. I received multiple offers on the home well above asking and it sold within 7 days. Karl expertly guided me through the negotiations and the whole team made the process seamless and smooth. They kept me informed each step along the way. I am pleased to highly recommend KBRE.

Fantastic experience: We can’t say enough good things about working with the Katnik Brothers’ Team! From the moment we called them, they were punctual, organized, communicative and respectful. Their team is a well-oiled machine! Never once did we feel out of the loop - they were quick to give us updates on staging, showings, offers and the escrow process. Any question we had was thoughtfully answered, usually within 30 minutes or less of asking it. We can’t believe how smooth the process has been - and it’s all due to their team. We highly recommend the Katnik Brothers for any real estate venture you have!

Fantastic experience: The KBRE team is incredible! We had the pleasure of working with Mike to buy a home. As first time home buyers we had a lot to learn and he was an incredible partner, teacher, and advocate along the way. He was 100% reliable – we could trust that he would communicate clearly with us and he always did everything he said he would do. He was always respectful, professional and had a very extensive knowledge of the home buying process. He was on time to our meetings and was very flexible with our schedule – there was never a time that we could not view a home at the time we needed or speak with a member of the KBRE team as we had questions. We did meet and communicate with a couple other members of the KBRE team and they were incredible as well. They really do take customer service to a new level, especially in a stressful time of home buying in this crazy market. You will not be disappointed with the KBRE team – they are the best! Thank you, Mike and the KBRE team! Luke and Jordan Nickell

Fantastic experience: Beth and I are writing this letter to express our total satisfaction with KBRE in regards to the sale of our our residence in Irvine. We don’t take recommendation letters lightly but endorsing a team who has earned our respect is appropriate and hopefully will provide future clients the comfort and confidence in selecting a qualified realtor. I have been in the real estate industry for over 30 yrs and have interacted with many real estate professionals. Residential real estate is a very competitive business and full of agents with great personalities but what sets KBRE apart from the others is their execution of the process and attention to detail. After our initial meeting with Karl and Hannah, we were convinced they were the right team for us. They were prepared for our meeting, knowledgeable about the market and presented their capabilities in a very professional manner with a balance of compassion for our situation and confidence in their ability to meet our needs. Most importantly, their friendly and energetic approach carried through after we signed the listing agreement and they began the process of selling our home. The marketing materials, which included a color brochure and 3D imaging of our home, were high quality and professional. The offers were appropriately vetted and the purchase agreement was reviewed with us in detail to maximize the probability of a smooth closing. In addition, each of the associates at the KBRE office and the escrow company were on their game and a pleasure to work with. The KBRE team made us feel like we were their only client by keeping us informed with thorough follow-up and 24/7 availability to address our questions and concerns. We are grateful to Karl, Hannah and the entire KBRE team for facilitating a successful sales transaction and recommend KBRE without hesitation to anyone requiring real estate representation. Erik and Beth

Fantastic experience: We met with Karl and Hannah and instantly were impressed by their professionalism and knowledge of the area. From start to finish this was the best experience we have had selling a home. The team is so easy to work with, very accessible and know what truly needs to be done to sell your home to get the optimal price. The 5-star service from the entire KBRE team is exceptional and we would highly recommend them. This is the best real estate experience we have had EVER!

Fantastic experience: We had the pleasure of working with the Katnik Brothers team selling our home. Karl and Micheal were so detailed oriented. I personally felt they truly care for our home, from setting the price point to maximize our profit to staging our home to display its beauty and potentials to buyers, to holding our hands every steps of the way in the selling process. I appreciated the notifications and regular check-ins from Michael to keep us updated and rendering recommendations while allowing us to make our decisions without pressuring us. I highly recommend the Katnik Brothers for your real estate sale needs!

Fantastic experience: March 15, 2021 KBRE Team, As an investor and developer, I have been buying and selling properties for over forty years. I have worked with many real estate brokers over those four decades. I would place KBRE at the top of my list. KBRE is the most organized, reliable, and professional “Team” I have ever had the pleasure to work with involving the listing, marketing, and sale of my home in Lemon Heights. The home was a large and unique home, and their marketing plan and knowledge of the local market was invaluable. They were very up to date and truthful of the value and were very conscience of not wasting my time or making unrealistic promises just to land a listing, which I really respect. The staging was professional and well planned. The photos were detailed and high quality. The video drone work was fantastic and brought in many potential buyers. Their communication during the process could not have been better. Their reliability and attention to every detail of the negotiations was evident. They know the Real Estate business! They really are a “Team”. Everyone involved at KBRE did a great job. I would recommend KBRE to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in this area. Rick and Wendy Watson

Fantastic experience: The team of experts at Katnik Brothers Real Estate set the bar really high for their competitors. The customer service they provide is second to none. The sale of my Tustin Ranch Home of 22 years was seamless. The team took care of staging, showcasing, photographs and drone footage that ensured I would receive top dollar for my family home. There are plenty of real estate agents in the Orange County area to choose from when buying or selling a home, I highly recommend Katnik Brokers Real Estate.

Fantastic experience: March 8, 2022 To whom it may concern, We have just closed escrow on the sale of our family home. The Katnik Brothers Real Estate team was with us every step of the way. Though it would be nearly impossible to put into words the impact this team had on our successful transaction, we will attempt to offer some highlights. This is our second home we have sold with KBRE and both sales were handled with incredible expertise and professionalism. The entire team at KBRE is committed to excellence and each detail is attended to with precision. From the first listing appointment with Karl and Hannah where we were given accurate sales information, to the incredible staging and landscaping services that made our home show beautifully, to the constant communication regarding showings and feedback, to the offers package where we could easily see in one place the particulars for each offer, to the final inspections and successful closing, KBRE was there, ready to help, and guided our sale in the most beneficial way. We cannot imagine ever using any other broker for future transactions. Though we are moving out of state, we plan to purchase a condominium here in California at some point, and we look forward to continuing our relationship with these fine people. Katnik Brothers Real Estate is an incredible collection of the best of the best in this business. Sincerely, Stacy Leal

Fantastic experience: KBRE strikes again! This is our family’s second time working with the Katnik Brothers and we were blown away once again! The amount of professionalism and experience displayed by the team at KBRE is truly second to none. We had been primarily working with Austin for quite a few months, trying to find our dream home. The market was/is insane for buyers, but we were always given great advice at every turn and were always reassured that we would find our dream home. With a bit of luck, our patience paid off and we couldn’t be happier with the home we bought. They even included professional movers to help us with move. GENIUS! Working with Hannah and Karl on the selling side was an amazing experience too. They really did their homework and provided us with all the information necessary to confidently put our house on the competitive market. They also helped us navigate through the multiple offers we received which lead to our house being sold in less than a week and way above asking. We truly believe we could not have achieved having the upper hand in both the buying and selling process if it weren’t for the leadership of he Katnik Brothers team. Thank you for helping us make our dream a reality! - Josh and Emily Ko

Fantastic experience: *SECOND REVIEW* 1/19/2022 - Second Home Sale with KBRE I was ready to sell my second property and called the Katnik Brothers to assist with the sale. It was very important for me to have a smooth process with my home being in Cerritos, and me being out of the country. As soon as I arrived back to the United States, Karl was ready to get the process started. It took less than a month for my home to go Active on the market, and it closed three weeks later. Although this was my second home sale, I needed assistance through the process, as it is a difficult experience. The Katnik Brothers team did such a great job to help me through everything. 01-14-2020 Dear Katnik Brothers Team, When I called the Katnik Brothers phone number on November the 9th from my landline someone picked up and said: Hi Carl. Well that is my uncle but he passed away 3 years ago. That someone was Karl Katnik and he remembered my Uncle Carl. So I told him that I wanted to sell the rental property that is in the Trust of which I am the Trustee of. Since I live 6 months a year in the Netherlands and it is too much of a problem, it is time to sell. He told me that my uncle Carl wanted to sell that house 4 years ago but many things happened and he did not go through with it. To me deciding to go along with the Katniks was easy, if my uncle trusted these guys it never can go wrong. I met Karl and Hannah on the 12th of November and I immediately had a good feeling about it. Things overhere definitely work different then in the Netherlands but with everything I did not understand they helped me. I think I drove all of them crazy. The ball started rolling and we had an open house on the 14th of December with many visitors, of which they kepted me informed of, not only that but the whole team was calling me and texting me. To make a long story short: That weekend we already had a bid and we came to an agreement and the house is sold and escrow is closed on the 15th of January.Everybody in my area said to me that it is a difficult time because of the Holidays, to sell a house but the Katnik Brothers did it. I cannot thank all of them enough for everything they all did for me. If you ever need a Real Estate company just call them or me and I will tell you more what they did to help me to go through this difficult thing. Cynthia Vegter

Fantastic experience: Katnik Brothers Real Estate We used the Katnik Brothers to sell our home in North Tustin. We purchased a home in Idaho in late December, as a non-contingent buyer, with a closing date of February 15th. We interviewed Karl and Hannah around December 27th. We signed the listing agreement on December 28th. Due to the Christmas and New Year holidays, there was a great deal to accomplish getting it listed on the MLS by 1/7/22, which included staging our home and sprucing up the landscaping. We were under contract on our purchase in Idaho and removing contingencies on 1/14/22. We really wanted to have a solid buyer in escrow prior to that date. We also asked for a two-month rent back. That was accomplished with no discussion. Not only did Karl and his team accommodate our very tight timeline, but they also provided excellent knowledge and advice on accepting the buyer. The worst possible scenario for us would have been to open escrow, have it fall out, and have to start all over again. That would have required a great deal of additional maneuvering that we were able to avoid. Selling after 35 years is enough stress, without having the uncertainty of our buyer. The Katnik Brothers did an amazing job of staging and landscaping, above and beyond, and at their cost. The photography was phenomenal, and the brochure exceptional. They did everything they said they were going to do and accomplished it on time. The Katnik Brothers offer a team approach that is undeniably professional, engaging, and extremely proficient. I could be personal friends with each and every one of his employees. I am in the development business, and I have always maintained a slogan that I believe in: “If you can trust your contractor the building process is fun and rewarding.” I believe that it not only is pertinent to the building business, but every contactor one deals with in the service industry. The Katnik brothers are very honest and ethical. I trust them explicitly. Selling our home was a truly fun experience. Sincerely, David and Katie Ristig

Fantastic experience: Thank you KBRE Team for the wonderful experience from beginning to end in the selling of our home. We got a whole team of professionals working in synchrony for us in contrast to just a single agent at other real estate firms. Your complimentary, beautiful staging and landscaping added much value to our home. Your team was always there to support us by providing expert guidance in critical moments. We know you have many clients but we always felt like we were your only client. We look forward to working with your team again in the future.

Fantastic experience: Our experience with the Katnik Brothers was truly the most incredible journey you could imagine. We met with Karl and Hannah in November of 2020 to talk about possibly selling and purchasing with their team. After our meeting there was no question that they were the perfect fit for our family. That being said, we listed and sold our condo in March 2021 for above the asking price and to a family (not investor) which was wonderful. With the Katnik Brothers team handling everything for us and helping us every step of the way it made the selling of our home so easy and stress free which is exactly what we needed. With work and preparing for the move neither one of us had much time and didn’t really have the knowledge needed to make the right choices. The KB Team handled everything and they were always available when we had questions, with caring and professionalism up and beyond my expectations. THAT in itself was a PRICELESS gift to us!!!. After the selling of our home Michael Woepse was the LUCKY guy that got to help us to find our new home… To say it was easy would be lying, the market went absolutely nuts and we weren’t just going up against families, but investors with CASH and lots of it!!! Michael didn’t let it phase him, even as we got outbid, or went and looked at 20 houses that just weren’t right, he kept strong and calm through the storm. He wasn’t just our realtor ..he IS OUR FRIEND!!! We were in this together and I always felt like he truly cared about us and wanted the best for us. On this journey we experienced Michael becoming a first-time father, our daughter graduating college and us living in an RV for eight months while looking for our home! Despite the ups and downs we kept our faith and never lost hope. Michael never gave up and continued to go up and beyond to help us find our FOREVER home. He was constantly checking in to make sure we were OK and making himself available whenever we needed him. I couldn’t imagine anybody being more wonderful, diligent, focused and dedicated. ANYONE CAN FIND A HOME FOR THEIR CLIENT IN A “BUYERS MARKET” BUT TO OVERCOME ALL OBSTACLES IN THIS MARKET SHOWS SOMEONES TRUE CHARACTER, MICHAEL IS THE ONE YOU WANT IN ANY MARKET AND THE KATNIK BROTHERS TEAM IS THE BEST THERE IS. We are in our FOREVER HOME now and it was worth every single tear, frustration, prayer, disappointment, test of faith and the 100 walk throughs we experienced on this Journey!!! Thank you KB TEAM!!!! We love and appreciate each one of you!!!

Fantastic experience: Mike with Katnik Brothers worked with us as a buyer. He was by far and away the most professional real estate agent I’ve come across. He always showed up prepared, provided us sophisticated guidance for competitive offers, properly leveraged his professional relationships, and (last but not least) was a joy to work with. There is no question that Mike is the only agent we want to use as a buyer going forward.
