2/18/2017 My husband and I were first time home buyers and Kato Group helped us every step of the way. Our escrow turned into a bit of headache (due to the seller), but with KG's support and determination they were able to keep us calm and informed. The communication throughout this process was key, and they kept in contact with us over every little detail without bombarding us with too much information. Overall, Kato Group excelled in customer service in helping us purchase our first home.

I've heard some great things about the Kato group - and now I know why. I contacted the Kato group to look at houses and they surpassed my expectations. I had a lot of questions and they were very patient. I was given some very helpful information and when I buy my first home, I'm definitely going with them.

12/22/2014 We just closed two transactions thanks to the help of the Kato Group. The team is best in class and is everything we could ever want in an agent - extremely knowledgeable about market conditions, experts on both sides of the buy/sell process, tough negotiators, incredibly responsive, and genuinely nice people who treated us like family. Jessica Panzica and Sarah Bogy led the charge and were constantly on top of the buyer's agent and vendors, and much to our delight, got them to close escrow 4 days earlier than expected. What an incredible outcome! And we can't forget Scott Kato who convinced us that staging is worth the investment. We were 25 days on market with no offer but after staging received an offer within a week. We should have listened to you from the start! Excellent job team!

8/6/2014 We listed a condo in San Pedro. We knew it would be a challenge since the location wasn't the best and the market conditions were not great either. To help us get ready, Scott and his team helped us arrange painters for the unit as well as some minor repairs. It took a while to sell, but he and his team kept us informed weekly with updates on the market. During escrow, they offered electronic documents, which made the process much more efficient and convenient. We recommend Scott Kato and his team for your Real Estate needs.

8/21/2013 The Kato Group are true professionals and go above and beyond to ensure a smooth experience. Scott Kato was always available to answer my questions and address my concerns. He's patient and never pressured me into a decision that I was comfortable with. He definitely showed true empathy for a first time home buyer. I will always work with the Kato Group for any real estate interests and needs.
