Kathy Borys

"Kathy is an absolute joy to work with and she gets results. We knew we wanted to work with Kathy after our first meeting. She presents options, knows the market and has a process that works. We strongly recommend you give her a call if you’re buying or selling. You won’t be disappointed."

"It sounds ridiculous to be a little sad that you've found your dream home in St Anthony. Sad because we won't be seeing Kathy Borys, our realtor for the last two years, on as frequent a basis. Kathy spent the last two years patiently helping us find exactly what we were looking for; providing expert insights and authentically getting to know our needs along the way. She often reminded us of my goals in order to ensure we did not compromise on the most critical housing factors even when the market was so competitive. Speaking of a competitive market, Kathy had developed strategic and creative plans that adapted to the current state for every step of the process. Kathy also sold our home in NE Minneapolis. She brought ease and simplicity to a situation that could have been way more stressful and complicated (selling a home while also caring for small children and a dog!). She had solutions (and connections) for everything and was available for all of our questions. Did I mention she sold it for more than we ever expected in the first weekend? Kathy's reputation speaks for itself. She is truly admired and respected in the Real Estate/Construction/Financing/etc. industry and NE/St Anthony communities. We've already recommended Kathy to multiple friends and will continue to do so. "

"Our experience working with Kathy was amazing! At our first meeting she presented a detailed plan for marketing our home using professional photography, video and social media. She delivered on every aspect of what she promised and guided us through the process. We had multiple offers in less than 2 days. We highly recommend Kathy and her team if you are looking to sell your home!"

"When I decided to sell my home after 25 years in Minneapolis, I started interviewing realtors. After I talked with Kathy, I knew she was the right person to work with on the sale. She provided detailed explanations of the process, what to expect, gave me pep talks, and got the deal done. She is professional, but also personable. I now call her a friend."

"This is our second time working with Kathy. We chose to work with her again because we had such a good experience the first time and for the 5 years in between she did an amazing job at staying in touch through various events. This time, we sold our house and bought our forever home with Kathy's help. Buying a house in this crazy market was stressful to say the least, but Kathy was always there for us. She was very patient, knew us well enough to know when something wasn't right for us, and gave us perspective when needed. She was amazing with our children, was available when we needed her, and paid close attention to intricate details of our likes/dislikes. Buying and selling a home is very complicated but she made the whole process feel seamless. We are now in our dream home and will recommend Kathy to anyone buying and/or selling a house."

"Kathy is amazing, what more can I say? Through the yearlong process of looking to buy and also selling when the time was right, we encountered so many different things. We were so fortunate to have worked with someone that ALWAYS made us feel like we were her first priority, always communicated clearly & quickly, always advocated for us, provided truly invaluable resources & references and was just an absolute pleasure to deal with. The world needs more people like Kathy."

"We've worked with Kathy Borys a number of times over the last decade, both as a buyer and a seller. Some of those transactions have been straightforward; others have been nightmarishly complex. In good times, Kathy is a terrific, empathetic listener and a great sounding board: She'll tell you what she thinks and make sure you understand the nuances of any given situation. In tough times, she's a calm, tenacious negotiator who can disagree without being disagreeable and a creative thinker who's available at the drop of a hat to help navigate through difficulties. She cares about her clients and she cares about her community. When you work with Kathy, you get an advocate, an expert and a source of information and insight that endures long after the closing date. She's one of the good ones."

"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. "

"When I started my first flip, I knew I needed an experienced professional to help guide me through the many pitfalls and nightmares that can arise. Kathy's knowledge, professionalism and demeanor is what made me instantly attracted to her and Coldwell Banker. She answered my myriad questions, offered advice on trends, staging, where to get the most bang for my buck and most of all was there for support. In the end, we listed on a Friday and had multiple offers Saturday. I will definitely be using Kathy again on my next project and will recommend her to everyone I know needs an outstanding realtor. "

"Kathy Borys is extremely professional in all respects, but at the same time, warm and accommodating. She's an excellent listener, understood our somewhat unusual situation, worked hard to find properties to suit our requirements, and always responded in a timely manner to our questions. With her help, we closed on a home we expect to love for years to come. And when it is time to sell, we'll call Kathy."

"Kathy Borys, simply put, is incredibly wonderful. She was an absolutely fantastic realtor to work with. I am still uncertain of when she sleeps. It seems every time we needed a question answered, or had an idea, we would email her during all kinds of hours, and within minutes we would have a response. When you go on house showings with Kathy, she is very detailed, and knows exactly what to look for when purchasing a home. Things that my wife and I would never had thought of to look for. Even after we closed, when she was unhappy with something, she was still making sure that we were taken care of, and happy with our purchase. It was an all around miracle that my wife and I managed to cross paths with Kathy. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would have. You will not be disappointed with Kathy and her team. She is an all around wonderful person."

"When we decided to sell our home, Kathy was our first (and ultimately only) call. She is extremely knowledgeable of the process and is very aware of how to highlight your home's best features. Everything she recommends will ultimately help you sell your home (our home sold within 2 days of going on the market). She regularly communicates about progress to prep your home for the market and about any questions you have during the whole process. We never felt like we were bothering her or that our questions were inane. Her professionalism, approachability, and initiative illustrate why she is an amazing real estate agent. I would recommend her to anyone any day of the week and three times on Sunday. "

"We used Kathy Borys to sell our home after we moved out of state. She handled everything for us in a professional manner. She really went above and beyond to get our house ready for sale and SOLD! She was a joy to work with and we would use her again."

"We were referred to Kathy by a friend - one of the best recommendations I have ever had! Kathy was wonderful from start to finish! My wife and I were purchasing our first home, and we needed a realtor that was able to explain every piece of the process, and guide us in the right direction. Her input throughout the process was invaluable! She was extremely flexible on short notice, very responsive to our questions and concerns, and incredibly helpful when we needed advice. She was also very patient with us during the process which we appreciated. Never once was she pushy, she truly wanted what was best for us. Best of all, she is a great person, easy to chat with, and someone you can trust. We will be using her again in the future and would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell."

"Working with Kathy was an excellent experience - this time and twice before this buying experience! Knowing you have someone in your corner with years and years of knowledge of the real estate market is so helpful. We are both very happy with the outcome and highly recommend her!"

"Upon recommendation, we elected Kathy to represent us in the sale of our house. We had friends who wished they had chosen her because their house sat for weeks, and in this market! Kathy is an expert in her field. She is knowledgeable, trusting, and a straight-shooter. Being first-time house sellers, we had several questions and concerns. Kathy always responded quickly by answering or instructing us in detail. She was so available and accommodating, we felt like we were her only client. Kathy was caring and sensitive to our situation. (My husband and I were going through a separation at the time.) Therefore, she would text both of us and schedule conference calls from time to time which we found very helpful. When offers came in, Kathy was professional. She knew exactly how to handle the situation and we had our house sold in 48 hours. Through her solid advice and expertise, we were comfortable and confident in making our own decision, without fear or pressure. Kathy is a rock star realtor, you can’t go wrong."

"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!"

"Our family loved working with Kathy. My wife and I just had a baby and were preparing to move across the country. She really helped us navigate selling our house through all those other stresses, and was a great advocate for us, making sure potential buyers understood our situation with a young baby at home. If we ever move back to the area, we'll definitely use Kathy to help us purchase our next home."

"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."

"Kathy is an amazing realtor!! She helped us sell our home and find our new home. She was with us every step of the way and was amazing throughout the entire process. We had some issues pop up with our new build, and Kathy helped keep us sane. Even after the fact, she has been checking in on us and making sure we continue to be satisfied. We couldn’t recommend her more! If you are in need of a realtor, give Kathy a call."
