Testimonials “Kathy was so helpful in guiding us through our home buying process as we worked to downsize from a large home to a condo. She was patient as we explored various options, including townhomes and condos, until we ultimately found the one. She helped us navigate the new construction process with ease. We love the new condo and are so thankful for Kathy’s help.” – Nicole L. and Liz B. “It was a pleasure to work with Kathy. She was knowledgeable about current trends and gave great suggestions, but she was also willing to listen to all feedback on what was important to us. It truly was a partnership selling our home, and I can’t imagine working with anyone else. She took on the bulk of the heavy lifting, yet gave us all the guidance we needed on the steps we were required to do in order to get our home listed. She has a great pulse on things but also knows each situation is unique. You’ll be in great hands with her steering the ship. It was smooth sailing all the way through to closing! I could not have had a better experience!” – Steph W. “Kathy helped us to find a lovely home here in Atlanta when we moved over from Sweden. We are so grateful for all the help she gave us, not only to find the house and complete the transaction, but Kathy really went out of her way to help us with all the little things that you don’t know or understand when you move in from out of the country! It is clearly the best experience we have had with any broker.” – Unn and Oscar W. “When my fiancé and I were ready to start looking for our first home, we had no idea where to start. Luckily, we were referred to Kathy Cotney, who immediately gave us a call and walked us through our homebuying process from start to finish. She was so knowledgeable and patient with all of our questions; we knew we were in good hands! We visited a number of homes around Atlanta and Kathy provided guidance and professional recommendations, while always keeping our budget and list of must-haves top of mind. She truly treated us like members of her own family. We are so happy in our new home and could not have done it without Kathy!” – Catherine and Andrew C. “Kathy did a perfect job for me. She was timely, thorough, professional and very respectful of my time. She followed through on all her suggestions and made me a very happy customer.” – Tom S.


“Buying your first home can be quite an overwhelming and intimidating experience. Kathy Cotney took both of those out of the equation and navigated our family to our dream house. Kathy went above and beyond from day one. We could not have done it without her! A huge thumbs up to her and her team. She truly displays the bulldog mentality – with no imposed bias of her alma mater. Thank you again!” – The Setians “My wife and I downsized our home recently and wanted a nice condo in Buckhead on a high floor with a great view. We were fortunate enough to find Kathy, a true expert in higher-end properties and extremely knowledgeable regarding Buckhead high-rises. Her attention to every detail removed so much of the burden from our shoulders. Kathy was a gem to work with thanks to her pleasant demeanor; she is a trusted expert and a true friend. Kathy helped us through the negotiation, and our condo appraised for thousands above our purchase price. We needed to make some changes to the condo we selected, and Kathy found the perfect team to do the job. If you are in need of a five-diamond experience to find the perfect home or negotiate the best deal, do yourself a huge favor and use Kathy. You will not regret your decision.” – David S. “Kathy went above and beyond in helping us sell our house. Our house required work, and she was knowledgeable about people who could do the various jobs that needed to be done. She often met with them at the house when I was at work. She was always responsive and excellent at helping me set reasonable expectations. I would highly recommend her.” – Dr. Carol A. “Kathy was great to work with. She sold my house within just a few days of listing it and then quickly helped me find a wonderful, new place! She was very responsive, helpful and eliminated as much of the stress of moving as possible. I have recommended her to several friends and will certainly use her again when the time comes. She is great ti work with due to her personality, dedication and commitment.” – Barbara B. “Kathy, we can’t thank you enough for your help during our homebuying process! Without your insight, we would not have our home today, and we are incredibly grateful to have you in our lives.” – Mack and Amy
