Katnik Brothers Real Estate

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.

Katnik Brothers Real Estate (KBRE) is an exceptional organization. From our first meeting with Karl and Sabrina to discuss the sale process to the close of escrow phone call from Karl, we felt like we were in good hands. Preparing for the sale was key in the process. The Katnik Brothers team guided us through each step. Once listed, we received regular updates on showings, offers, and escrow. After the close of escrow, Karl and Sabrina followed up to insure we had all we needed to move. Professionalism, efficiency, communication, and compassion are the cornerstones of KBRE. It was our pleasure working with them to sell our home.

We recently sold our home with Katnik Brothers Real Estate after hearing about them through a mutual business partner, and we couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. Karl and his team are truly the best in the business. Absolute professionals who made the whole process feel smooth and stress-free. As busy working parents with a young child, we deeply value a hands-off approach built on trust, and that’s exactly what Karl and his team delivered. They respected our time, kept us informed at the right moments without overwhelming us, and handled every detail with care and expertise. We always felt supported and confident that things were being managed correctly, even during our hectic schedules. They made what could have been a difficult process feel easy and even enjoyable. We would absolutely use them again without hesitation and would happily recommend them to anyone looking to sell their home. THANK YOU!! once again to Karl, Hannah, and the rest of the KBRE team. Much love - Robin & Sue

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
