Testimonials
Kathe’s clients share their experiences, and how she made a difference for them.
From our introductory meeting, Kathe listened to our needs and was always thinking a step ahead of us in figuring out how to meet our needs without overwhelming us. She broke things down into steps that made our downsizing experience much less stressful. Her endless resource lists helped us focus on tasks, one at a time, while having access to a variety of professional secondary services. Finally, she went above and beyond multiple times to keep things moving along. We thank God for Kathe Barge.
If you’re reading this – then you’re probably looking for a Realtor. What makes a good one? In my experience, market knowledge, a proven “system”, a strong network and follow through. Kathe Barge has all of these attributes and then some. She was our guide rails throughout the entire process of selling our home. From helping with paint colors, to a rolodex of contractors, to calming the day of closing jitters. She’s a true professional and will do the work to get you top dollar. You found your Realtor.
We have now worked with Kathe on three real estate transactions during the past 20 years. She is extremely responsive, highly knowledgeable and simply the best in the business.
Kathe went above and beyond to find us our first home. We were moving from out of state and only had one weekend to see homes. Kathe listened to what we were looking for and hit the nail on the head with our absolute dream home. She gave us great advice and guidance and we will recommend her to anyone and everyone looking for a home. Especially for those who are relocating. Thank You, Kathe! You’re truly the best of the best.
Five stars just isn’t enough for this amazing agent! Kathe makes the whole process easy and streamlined. She has helped us through the sale and purchase of our homes more than once and gets better every time!
Kathe really knows her stuff! She was our guide and our advocate every step of the way. She made things happen that we didn’t think were possible. And she was enjoyable to work with. I highly recommend her!
Kathe is a true professional and outstanding agent. Her years of experience, critical thinking skills as a former lawyer, efficiency, and caring about what is best for you (even if you may not know it) makes her among the best in Sewickley and the region. I highly recommend using her without reservations or concerns and would use her again and again…
“Kathe Barge is an outstanding professional. I have bought or sold at least 12 properties in the region and since working with her, there is no other professional that I recommend to others and no one else that I would choose to have representing me or my family. She is highly knowledgeable, pragmatic, and personable. We are honored to consider Kathe a family friend. She’s terrific!“
Kathe is by far the best and most professional and hardest working real estate agent I have ever met. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Sewickley area.
Working with Kathe was great. While she has her signs on many very high end properties, she treated us in the middle range with the same degree of professionalism and focus as any other client. I was really impressed with her knowledge of the area and her accuracy around pricing. Most importantly, she helped negotiate the price of our new home down to a better range for us and ensured a smooth transaction with the seller. I’ve referred her to others planning to move to the area and will continue to do so.
