"With
regard to setting the selling price for the property, Kathleen's
approach was both creative and effective. She provided us with
preliminary pricing information throughout our negotiations and then
refined the price as our improvement and staging projects neared
completion...We received an offer for the full asking price within three
days of the broker tour, which we accepted. The house closed
within thirty days. Thinking back on this transaction, Lynn and I
could hardly believe how smoothly everything had gone and how well we
had done in obtaining an optimal price for our property."

"I’ve
known Kathleen Clifford for over 15 years as a business partner and a
friend. She is honest, perseverant, intelligent and delightful to work
with. She is a consummate professional and is determined to “do the job
better” than anyone else.”

"In
my experience there are agents that must be carefully managed, and then
there are those that are simply 'unleashed'. Without a doubt,
Kathleen Clifford was a force of nature that, once unleashed, was able
to sell a challenging property in a market that was circling the drain."

"Kathleen
Clifford is truly everything you could hope for in a real estate agent -
smart, honest, ethical, hard-working, organized, well-connected and
respected within the
Marin real estate industry,
knowledgeable and loyal. When we decided to switch to Kathleen from
another agent, we chose Kathleen primarily based on other outstanding
recommendations, but also because we thought the fact that she was in
the top 1% of Marin agents spoke for itself. In life, there are certain
people who know how to get things done rather than spinning their
wheels, and Kathleen is definitely one of these people. Within less than
2 months of working with Kathleen, we found our dream home in our dream
location, thanks to Kathleen's intuitive understanding of exactly what
we were looking for, coupled with her inside knowledge of pre-MLS
listings. Also, she kept us from overbidding, and obtained numerous
terms that were favorable to us as the buyer. I cannot recommend
Kathleen Clifford highly enough."

"In a confusing market, one in which we
had difficulty deciding when to sell, Kathleen worked tirelessly on our
behalf; studying our needs, updating us on comps and consulting with us
on the value of our home. When we were ready to sell, Kathleen had a
qualified buyer at our doorway within 24 hours."
