"What can I say? We found Katherine by dumb luck but she has the knowledge, personality and connections to make the home-buying process as smooth as it can be. She is really that great. We would recommend her to anyone considering moving to the Glen Ridge/Montclair/Bloomfield area (which I also recommend). Without her I am not sure we would have succeeded in getting this house! Thanks Katherine!"
