Your Realtor For Life

I began with Coldwell Banker Commercial Brokerage in the early 1980's and with Residential Brokerage in the early 1990's.
My extensive real estate experience, both administrative and brokerage, gives me a unique perspective and unparalleled experience in ALL aspects of the real estate transaction. This enables me to see the 'deal' through, from inception to closing.
I pride myself in providing a truly exceptional level of service for my clients. I dedicate 100% of my time and energies to servicing my clients. I do not knock on stranger's doors, call them up at dinner-time or devote the enormous amount of time which this soliciting of business requires. Please visit my website to see many letters from past clients ... and much more.

About My Business

• Although I've lived in California since the early 1970's, I hail originally from Chicago Illinois and Villanova Pennsylvania.

• I specialize in Santa Monica, but have done business in such far off places as Brentwood, Pacific Palisades, Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Venice and even Marina del Rey!

• I make a constant effort to improve the level of service I provide to my clients. This is because, in my business, the most profound asset I possess is the respect of my clients.

• I am interested in building strong, lasting, lifelong relationships one person at a time. If this sounds like the caliber of service you'd like from your Realtor, I'd love to count you among my valued clients.

In the meantime, I hope you find the enclosed information helpful.

What Some of My Clients Say..

“Kate Bransfield did an exceptional and outstanding job selling our property!

Her marketing plan was way above and beyond all the rest we interviewed.  Kate’s approach gave our property the best possible market exposure including: expert fix up advise and contractor referrals; top of the line professionally done print and online photos; complete website, email and print exposure and abundant and professional open houses done like clockwork every single week until the escrow closed.

Then there is her expertise with keeping the price negotiation and escrow processes moving forward and getting all the massive amount of property selling paperwork done with the most efficiency and least amount of stress. In our case, two people in different cities needed to sign almost all of the paper work. Kate was able to set us up with DocuSign so that we each could easily electronically sign each document as it needed to be signed.

Looking back on the entire property selling experience with Kate now, it’s rather remarkable to be able to say that every single piece of real estate advise she gave us along the way was completely correct and was truly given with only our best interests in mind.

Kate is a rare find. She is truly an extremely ethical, honest and knowledgeable real estate professional!

Thanks Kate!”

"Hi Kate,

Now that the dust has settled and the money is in the bank Marian and I want to thank you ever so much for all your hard work in negotiating the sale of our home. It is always a real pleasure to work with true professionals and you're the tops. 

We don't know what we would have done without you. All we really had to do was follow your recommendations while you created the market, found the right buyer, and completed the sale.

The details, the paperwork, and the legalities involved in selling a house are unbelievable, yet you had everything so well organized that it all flowed along smoothly. And your sensitivity to personalities and integrity kept things focused and away from unimportant side issues. 

We almost wish we had a second house so you could sell it for us. Certainly anyone on the Westside who does have a house to sell absolutely must call on you if they want to deal with only the very best. 

Many, many thanks.”

"Dear Kate, 

We want to thank you for all of your help. From our first meeting we knew that your expertise in Santa Monica, professional demeanor and sincerity would reduce the potential stress of selling our home.

We had several dealings with other brokers before and only wished we had met you earlier. We knew of your wonderful reputation, but had no idea what a treasure we had found! You made this the most pleasant move we have ever had. All the marketing promised was delivered.

It always seemed as though you carried us through the process. My family and I were able to feel excited about the stress free move.

It is obvious to us that you actually care and give full a commitment to your clients. Let’s just say you have restored our faith and have gained not only clients but friends as well. 

You were a professional to the very end, keeping our family positive and up beat, while staying ahead of your game the whole time.

We have had by far the best experience. We will always be extremely grateful for the countless things you have done for us. You went over and beyond when you sold our house.

Please have anyone contact us about our experiences with you and your wonderful staff."

Robert and I just wanted to thank you so much for all your help to find the right house for us.

We really deeply appreciate your help also with sub-renting our old place.

You became also a friend and hopefully we can have you over soon for some nice dinner and a really good bottle from Roberts wine cellar.

We always highly recommend you if friends are looking for any real estate transactions in Santa Monica.
