Reviews of Cathy Brent

Kelly was extremely easy to work with and very thorough. She always follows through and is very professional. Besides being very personable, she worked hard to ensure that we got a great offer and that our house was looking great for a quick sale especially during this challenging time in real estate.

Cathy Brent is an exceptional realtor – she truly went above and beyond for me. I’ve already recommended her several times to friends and family. You won’t find a nicer or more knowledgeable realtor to work with on buying or selling a home! An outstanding experience all around!

Jennifer Stevenson, Trustee

As the trustee of an elderly couple who died within two months of one another, I had the responsibility of selling their home. Cathy and Kelly were so wonderful throughout the entire process. They knew what needed to be done and did it quickly, efficiently and professionally. What a team. Close to 100 attended the weekend open house, multiple offers over the asking price, quick closing and no contingencies. A great job from beginning to end.

Cathy and Linda were great at every stage of selling my mom’s home. They kept me informed of everything I needed to do and decisions that needed to be made. Their recommendations regarding the improvements and staging needed to get the best offer were spot-on, which resulted in an offer that I was pleased with. They made the selling process extremely easy for me, and I would definitely use them again.

Kelly Brent McCoy went over and above numerous times during the purchase of our home. I would recommend her and Berkshire HomeServices Drysdale Properties to anyone considering a home purchase or sale. Kelly was always available by phone or text. I have bought and sold many homes in my past and I can say unequivocally that Kelly was the best and most attentive agent I have ever had.

Kelly Brent McCoy listed my 93 year old mother’s home in Brentwood, CA and our experience with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Drysdale Properties couldn’t have been better! Kelly gave us great advice about how to prepare the home for the market and has a group of talented vendors to perform services we couldn’t handle on our own. The home was staged and beautifully presented to the market and Kelly priced the home competitively to generate activity. She works very hard and was on top of every detail of the transaction. She is knowledgeable, professional and personable. Kelly made the process as easy as was possible and our family felt supported at every step. Further, Kelly’s advice was spot on. In a slow market, mom’s house sold in 5 days at a selling price significantly higher than expected. I highly recommend Kelly to anyone wanting exceptional service and a positive experience.

Our experience with Kelly Brent McCoy was 5 stars Plus. She was very dedicated to learning the nuances of marketing and selling Bethel Island property which resulted in a quick, favorable sale. She excelled at communicating with us which was complicated by travel schedules and our being out of state. One example of her going the extra mile was her working with multiple local agency staff to resolve a previously unknown issue that worked well for both the buyer and us (seller). During the whole process, we knew our best interest was important to her.

★★★★★
Jean Novothy Wise, Trustee

Kelly McCoy worked with us tirelessly to find our new home. She listened carefully and never wasted our time on homes that didn’t meet our needs as we downsized from our home of 40 years. Once we saw what is now our forever home she made the buying process as easy as possible.

★★★★★
Allison Burke

Ms. McCoy was a delight to work with. She has a great sense of humor, is patient with anxious clients (and who wouldn’t be, given the current price of homes?), and is a much better listener than many service professionals. This is the second home the extended family has purchased with Ms. McCoy’s assistance, and in the unlikely event that we’re ever back in the market she’s the first person we’d turn to.

Kelly is true pro at what she does! She’s not only an industry expert, but listens to her clients and forms a partnership for the best possible outcome when it comes to selling real estate. She exceeded every expectation and is now our family Realtor for life! She’s bright, kind and business savvy when it comes to all things real estate. I would never hesitate to recommend Kelly to anyone looking to sell their home, she’s simply the best!

Kelly was amazing and helped us close on our dream home in Walnut Creek. She navigated a tough-to-deal with seller and persevered to get us the house $200K below the original asking price.
★★★★★
Lawrence Kennedy

Kelly is great at what she does and cares about her clients. I have seen it first hand, many times. I would not hesitate to recommend Kelly McCoy to anyone looking to buy a home or sell. She is the best!
★★★★★
Chris Brent

As a real estate agent myself, part of my job is locating knowledgeable and confident agents who work markets I don’t to assist clients I can’t. I had the pleasure of working with Kelly who represented very special clients of mine – family in their 80’s and 90’s who needed to sell their longtime home. From day one Kelly was knowledgeable about the market in Castro Valley, when the property should be listed to maximize exposure, and what work needed to be done to sell for the highest possible price. She was extremely communicative, always welcoming and went above and beyond every step of the way. In the end, she help my grandparents set a record sale they never thought could happen. I highly recommend Kelly and the Brent Team!

Toni Greves

Cathy is by far the best Realtor around. She and her team have personally sold a few of my homes and I have used her to purchase as well. Between myself and my family we have sold several homes through her. She deserves 10 stars for her review. I would highly recommend her to anyone if they want want the best service along with someone who has there best interest.
★★★★★
Ryan Greves

Cathy has listed and sold 2 houses in the past year. In both cases she was the ultimate professional providing advice and support in both cases. She provided us with excellent advice on what to do to prepare the home for sale and in fact managed the process as we were no longer in the area. Both properties sold for well above the asking price and in one case more than any home in the area. We barely recognized our home after she had it staged. She also has access to every sort of tradesmen you could imagine. If something needed attention she had someone who could get it done. She was recommended by my 2 best friends as she had recently sold there homes with the same result. We had a 3rd home we needed to sell which was out of the area, Cathy was able to recommend someone who did an excellent job whit that project as well, again netting well above the asking price. Nothing but good things to say about working with Cathy. You can’t go wrong.

Cathy was fabulous to work with on our deal. I definitely hope our paths cross again so I can work with her on another transaction.

We had an on-time close which is always WIN -WIN!

A long overdue thank you to you and your entire team for all your support and expertise on the sale of my Mom’s home. I simply could not have done this without you. You were honest, kind, patient and most importantly sympathetic throughout the entire process. I am so very blessed to have had wonderful supportive people such as yourself. You are abright light in an otherwise sad and scary time for me. Thank You again from the bottom of my heart.

Karen

We are ever so grateful for all your guidance, patience, flexibility and expertise in selling our home. You were just wonderful to work with and went above and beyond at each step in the process from getting our home ready to list, to scheduling viewings, to fixes and inspections and staying on top of the lenders to get updates on the loan status. You were our obvious choice as our realtor knowing your impeccable reputation and our awesome relationship to your family, but we would recommend you to any of our friends and if ever needed, would be happy to be a reference. Thank You for making what we were expecting to be a taxing and stressful process to be so efficient and effortless.

Your the best and we’re so thankful for helping make our dream of moving to Laguna a reality.

I enjoyed working with Cathy Brent very much. I wanted to sell this house quickly. She listened to me regarding what I wanted, gave me options and then guided me through the process, which at times can be daunting since I was doing it long distance. I would definitely recommend Cathy to anyone selling a house in the Castro Valley area. She listens to you, works hard for you and gets you the best deal possible.

Cathy and Kelly Brent recently helped us with both the purchase of our dream home and the sale of our previous residence. They were extremely knowledgeable, professional and helpful every step of the way, which made the process go smoothly. Cathy and Kelly are a joy to work with and I would highly recommend them for anyone looking to buy or sell.

Mary Colburn

Client comment: Cathy Brent and her team were outstanding. We were informed throughout the entire transaction. We received a great sales price for our home. And purchased our new home at the price we wanted to pay. Moving after 24 years in one home is a overwhelming task to say the least. But Cathy Brent helped us throughout the process. She kept saying don’t worry things will come together. And everything came together and she met and exceeded our expectations. Thank you Cathy and thank you Team.

★★★★★
Mark & Denise Robello

Cathy could not have done anything better. She was wonderful breaking down what needed to be done before selling. She also got all the different workers needed to complete the remodel all the way to staging the house. If not for her help I don’t believe we would have had such a fast and successful sale. Cathy took the stress out of the entire process.

★★★★★

Joe and Cathi G.

The Cathy Brent team is fabulous! I couldn’t ask for a more attentive agent(s) than that team. Cathy has everything covered from soup to nuts, making the transaction/transition as smooth as silk. Kathi Townsend has been her right hand for many years and no one is a stranger to her. They take the worry about selling/buying right out!!! Trustworthy and dependable, which we don’t come by easily anymore.

Dear Cathy, Thank you so much for all of your help selling our house! It was very sweet of you to stop by our party and bring us the bottle of wine. We are so excited to be moving next week and you helped make that happen for us! We will miss seeing all of our California friends but hope we will get to see you when we come back often for visits! Thanks again for everything!

Frank, Rachael and Jerri

Amazing! That’s the word that comes to mind when I think of Cathy Brent and her sales ability. She meets, she listens, and then it’s all systems go. She plans and executes and before you know it, your property is sold. I can’t say enough about Cathy Brent. She is extremely professional and of course, very knowledgeable. If you want your house sold fast and for your price, or above it, she is the agent you want.

★★★★★
Linda Neff

After the unexpected death of my mother, I was dealing with so many emotions plus legalities including the sale of her home. Cathy and her team offered support, advise and guidance throughout the entire process which was completely foreign to me, never having sold property before. I basically turned the reins over the Cathy and she took over, but made sure to consult with me prior to any decisions and made sure I was comfortable with everything. I will definitely continue to use the Cathy Brent team for any real estate transactions in the future. They are professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with. Additionally we had multiple offers and accepted one within a few days of the only open house. Extremely satisfied with their service.

“The realtor team of Cathy Brent & Kathi Townsend were & are amazing. These 2 are golden. If there is an award for excellence in service, attention to detail, prompt contact, honesty, & compassion, I’ll fight to be first in line to nominate them. As a first time seller, I will admit to the jitters & nervousness. Within the first few contacts, I realized there was no need to worry about anything. This team has seen it all & knew what to watch for. I can’t find enough accolades or verbiage to express my gratitude for the service I received in their hands. I have found 2 people that I can say I truly trust. There are not many people I would say that about. At every step along the way I was informed. If there happened to be something that I needed to be involved with, I was contacted. They would explain the who, what, where, when, & why. Then promptly take care of it. I truly believe they should be teaching how the job of realtor is done. Their attention to detail, honesty, integrity, promptness, compassion, is beyond reproach. Thank you so very much for all you did for me. I can’t express my gratitude enough. If you ever need assistance with antiques, you know where to call”
