"As first time home buyers, the whole process can be overwhelming and confusing at times, and Kate helped us through every step of the way. From the beginning Kate was very knowledgeable and helpful and walked us through what we could expect at each step in the process. She helped us find an inspector and a real-estate lawyer which worked our perfectly. Kate was very responsive and accommodating to all of our needs and concerns throughout the entire process. We would definitely recommend Kate to anyone who is looking for their new home!"

  -Meghan Morrissey, Client

"We chose Kate as our agent to both sell and purchase our "forever home". Kate advised us of the things to do to our home to get it ready to sell, she took high quality photos for the listing and helped us decide on a realistic asking price. Our house sold within the first week with multiple offers! The purchase of our "forever home" was a bit of a process because of our specific criteria that we wanted. Kate was on top of it and sent us numerous homes that fit our criteria and scheduled many showings. She always responded to our questions and concerns and we soon found our "forever home"! We were glad that we chose Kate to work with, her enthusiasm and responsiveness made it a pleasant home buying experience! We would definitely recommend Kate for your selling or buying needs."

  -Lisa Zacchio, Client

"I have bought 6 houses in my lifetime, and Kate is by far the best agent that I have ever worked with! She taught me the value of working with someone who is a full time agent. Unlike my last agent, Kate found out what I was looking for in a home and kept me on track. She didn't show me only her own listings or homes that were more than I initially wanted to spend. I had 3 contracts fall through for various reasons, and Kate was always there to encourage me to move forward. I ended up in the perfect home for me... as she said I would! This was, by far, the smoothest real estate transaction that I have ever had. Kate is very professional, knowledgeable, and a fierce advocate. She will travel wherever you want to go and she's not afraid to climb into an attic if need be! Kate Charles is the BEST!!!"

  -Kathryn Cramer, Client

"Kate handled every detail of this process with grace and tact. She knew what I was looking for and didn't pester me to see every new listing or waste my time. She beat me to every appointment and handled all of the details and coordinating people expertly. Sign on with confidence! You will be well taken care of!"

  -Laura Kestner, Client

"Highly recommend Kate!! I purchased my first home with her help, she was very helpful and patient through the whole process. She answered every question I had, responded to messages fast, and made everything understandable! Very confident, knowledgeable, and honest! Thank you so much Kate!"

  -Andrew Filimon, Client

"I recently worked with Kate purchasing my first home. Kate was very communicative and always kept me updated through the process. Her literature regarding the home buying process and tasks to complete before closing were very helpful. I really appreciated the references provided by Kate for home and chimney inspectors and was very pleased with the work done by group entities. I would absolutely work with Kate in the future and would recommend her to anyone who asks me if I could recommend a realtor."

  -Adam Karges, Client

"Kate was awesome to work with. At all times I was kept informed of everything going on with the process of selling my house. Her attention to detail made the entire process go smooth. I highly recommend Kate if you are looking to sell your house in the near future."

  -Michael Dowen, Client

"I highly recommend Kate as a realtor. She kept us informed every step of the way, answered questions, and helped us immensely. Her expertise helped us get our house on the market and get an offer quickly. Thank you for all your hard work."

  -Barb Barron, Client

"Kate was great to work with. She was incredibly responsive and flexible. I will definitely be using her in the future and recommending her to friends and family."

  -Kevin Tuohy, Client

"Kate Pena assisted my husband and I in purchasing our first house. From start to finish Kate was such an amazing asset to have on our side. From her professionalism to her patience, Kate completely exceeded our expectations in every way. And even after closing on our home, Kate referred us to several fantastic contractors. I highly recommend Kate Pena to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home!"

  -Shana Pierro, Client

"Kate sold our house in less than 24 hours! During the Covid pandemic, Kate was professional and took care of everything! Kate was in constant communication, attentive and perfectly accurate when researching the market to determine the correct listing price. Sold in a day! What could be better than that!? We could not be happier that Kate was our Realtor. Thanks Kate!"

  -Dan Miller, Client

"Kate was a pleasure to work with from the initial call through closing. She is extremely knowledgeable about the local market and the intricacies of various home offerings (e.g., HVAC and electrical systems, radon mitigation, etc). She was extremely responsive and took the time to understand our likes and dislikes and searched for properties meeting our (somewhat lengthy!) home demands. She assisted us with what could have been a stressful bidding war over the purchase of our property. We are relatively picky and demanding business partners, and Kate met us where we expected our realtor to be--it was a pleasant experience from start to finish--you will not be disappointed!"

  -Chuck Caputo, Client

"Kate was amazing! As a single mom, I was overwhelmed by the process of selling and potentially buying. Kate went above and beyond, making difficult calls for me, answering all my ridiculous questions, keeping me organized, and showing me house after house, even in a challenging market. She gets to know her clients and their needs, and she makes sure everything can work out before any offers are made. For example, she called the propane company and helped me figure out costs, and she would find out valuable information like where the well water is, and where the septic is. She called the HOA for me to figure out billing. She pays attention to details and makes sure her all client’s needs are met. She’s also a fellow animal lover and kindred spirit! She is very responsive to all forms of communication (text, email, calls, etc). She frequently put my mind at ease when I worried about something along the way. I’m looking forward to working with Kate again in the future. "

  -Kathryn Kos, Client

"Kate truly made this stressful experience so much easier and actually exciting to do. Any questions we had were answered within minutes, and was essentially our translator so we understood what was happening as it took place. I would 100% only recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thank you for everything xoxo"

  -Sam Errico, Client

"Kate was responsible for selling our home and helping us find our new forever home. The process was anything but simple from the onset. Thanks to Kate’s guidance and recommendation on pricing because of her knowledge and expertise, our home had multiple offers and went sale pending within 48hrs. Kate then helped us find our new home. Kate had helped us find a new home, but on short notice because of unforeseen circumstances from our potential seller, Kate had to help us find another home. She navigated that situation with excellently while keeping my wife and I protected from a potentially bad deal. Kate also used her network of industry professionals to help get us to close on our new forever home and sale of our old home. Kate is an excellent real estate agent and both my wife and I were thrilled on how she handled us and how she handled our complicated sale and purchase. We would gladly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home."

  -Mathew Patrizio, Client

"Being active duty military, our family had no time for games, and needed an expert to sell our home within our time restraints, and for a fair price. We interviewed several realtors in the area and Kate was the clear stand out. She was very professional, prompt to answer any questions, and included us during all stages of marketing and selling our home. We highly recommend Kate Charles!"

  -Patrick Johnson, Client

"Kate was very helpful in helping us get into our home! She was always easy to get in touch with and quick to respond to us. She not only helped us find our house but also helped us find and contact local businesses to get work done. There were some hiccups in getting our house but Kate helped to make the process easier. I would definitely recommend Kate to help you find home."

  -Katie Gibbons, Client

"I have worked with a lot of agents in many different states and Kate is one of the best I have worked with. She goes above and beyond. Kate keeps in constant communication with you throughout the entire process. She is always available if you have a question or corncern. I would without a doubt recommend using Kate for your real estate needs!"

  -Alexis Perkins, Client

"Kate was so friendly and welcoming as I started the search process for my first home. Gave me helpful tips on what to look for and how to approach things. She was ALWAYS quick to respond and never failed to get answers when needed. I will recommend her to anyone in the future and definitely plan to work with her again in the future! Thanks Kate!!"

  -Jordon Hastings, Client

"Kate was extremely helpful in selling my fathers house from out of state. We had several challenges in getting to a closing and Kate great at helping out with anything needed to keep the process moving from recommending contractors to relaying updates. Communication was great, she was seemingly always reachable by text or phone to get or relay information."

  -David King, Client

"We were very pleased with Kate's dedication to selling our home. She was available for any questions or concerns and answered very quickly. She helped us every step of the way in a very professional manner. Very dedicated, we would definitely use Kate again and recommend her for any real estate needs."

  -Doug & Donna Barron, Client

"Kate was a pleasure to work with. She went out of her way to do things to assist me even if last minute and always communicated where we stood through the entire process. She made this entire experience very easy for me. Her communication was great as I have a toddler so it’s not always easy to do. She would text, call, face time or email- she did what was most convenient for me. I would highly recommend her."

  -Theresa Gulotty, Client

"Kate was a terrific agent, she was there to help and assist us every step of the way through the entire selling process until the closing. Kate was professional, attentive, accommodating, and personable, and made the stressful process of selling a house that was in the family for 50+ years so much easier. We would highly recommend Kate to anyone looking to have a partner they can trust when they are looking to sell their home."

  -Brian McAlonie, Client

"Working with Kate was such a pleasant experience. We moved from NYC and were new to the area, so her vast knowledge on Saratoga was incredibly beneficial. Kate is patient and responsive, two qualities that are essential when hiring a broker. We saw many homes and she never tried to pressure us into any. She would continuously say "I want you to be excited about the home you end up purchasing", which we eventually were. I wholeheartedly recommend Kate's services and am incredibly grateful she led us to our dream home!"

  -Mark Weldon, Client

"I cannot recommend Kate more. My spouse and I had almost every problem one can incur when buying a house, including losing the first house we were buying two weeks before closing. The only reason we didn't give up entirely was Kate. She supported us every single step of the way. Every problem she could fix, Kate did, and anyone she personally couldn't, she found someone who could. When we lost the first house, she got us looking at new houses almost immediately. She was the rock that we needed and no matter how many crazy, frantic texts or phone calls, she never wavered. She took care of us with the utmost understanding. At the worst times, she handled situations, and at the best times, she let us do our thing. At all times, Kate was professional, attentive, and responsive. She went above and beyond. The next time we either buy or sell, Kate will be our first phone call."
