Kathy Borys

"Over the past 24 years, Kathy has helped us to sell 3 homes and to buy 4. She is very good at knowing what improvements are worthwhile to make and will help sell the home. Every home selling and buying experience with Kathy has been very smooth, thanks to her knowledge, hard work, and integrity."

"I could write this review in one sentence: Kathy is the best realtor in MN. But it would be no fun at all to stop there, so I'll elaborate. Kathy is the fourth realtor with whom we've worked and we went through three of those just trying to buy our first home. This past spring, friends across the street sold their house in a weekend for well over asking and that got us thinking about looking for house #2. I wasn't interested in any more trial and error with Realtors so I asked our friends who they used and they sang Kathy's praises. Our house hunt/sell was a long process - almost six months - and Kathy basically held our hands from beginning to end. Before we were even settled on the idea of selling Kathy came over to take a look at our house and make recommendations for what to change if we wanted to sell, as well as her estimate on the listing price. On at least three occasions from that point on, I said the words, "we will do whatever you tell us to do." She's that good. Any question we had, about literally anything having to do with a home, she knew the answer to/could send us more information on/had personal experience in. Everything. And her answer usually started with, "I just went through this very same thing...". By the end, I even had friends texting me questions to ask her. That's how much we talked about how awesome she is. Kathy knows it all because she has done it all. I joked that I will forever be texting her all of my questions about house stuff. Also, that was not a joke and I will 100% be texting her all of my questions about house stuff forever. I wish I could do a better job conveying how ridiculously amazing Kathy is. But I can't, so just call her so she can make everything about buying/selling a home better. "

"Kathy was, in a word, amazing. I was buying my first home and doing a cross-country move during a pandemic, and the housing market was really moving quickly so the whole process was a bit overwhelming. Kathy was able to find me a number of houses to view in the limited time I had to come and look at houses. It was a whirlwind trip - in on Sunday evening, viewing houses Monday and Tuesday, and having an offer accepted on Wednesday. She made herself available for me and she also made me feel like I was the only person she was working with. I fell in love with a house that turned out to have a lot of expensive things pop up during the inspection and she negotiated a very advantageous settlement for me. When my lender caused the closing to be delayed, she negotiated for the lender to credit me at closing for the rent that the seller charged me because I ended up moving in a few days early. She's also kept track of the progress with the contractors, as the repairs are currently ongoing. Looking back and writing about this, the whole process sounds a bit crazy but Kathy kept it from feeling crazy at the time. With all of the other things that I had to organize to move several states over, knowing that she was handling all of the details for the house made things feel so much more manageable. And I love my house!"
