About Kate Swenson

"Kate is outstanding to work with. She is the epitome of a professional in every way along with being warm and kind. Her knowledge of the finest details within homes and the neighborhoods made buying a house as easy as possible. Kate was never afraid to tell us her honest opinion when things weren't the right fit for our family. After working with her on buying and selling properties I'd recommend her with the strongest conviction."

Nobody knows Needham better than Kate Swenson. We presented her with what seemed like the impossible: an "in-town location" with enough space for a pool. A few months later, Kate made our dream come true! As soon as we completed the sale on our new construction home, Kate listed our current home and within a weekend, we had multiple offers above the asking price. Throughout the entire process, Kate was professional, available, and responsive. Her attention to detail, calm demeanor and connections in the area make her an invaluable resource. We highly recommend Kate to anyone looking to sell or buy a home in the Needham area. She is a treasure.

"Working with Kate was a terrific experience. She was professional, quick to respond to questions any time of the day, and provided useful direction and advice. We always felt like she had our back and supported us throughout the whole process. She was very knowledgeable about the area and had great contacts for contractors, legal, insurance, etc. We would highly recommend her to anyone!

"Kate was the best realtor to have coming into a difficult market. Knowledgeable, patient, and tenacious, she helped us all around the burbs to ultimately land the house and location that was just right for us. Never a hard sell, just always ready with good research and recommendation to help us make the best decision. And when it was time to make an offer we sure were glad to have her on our side. We cannot recommend her enough - thank you Kate!

"Please be advised that I have had the privilege and honor of employing the professional services of Ms. Swenson to act as a real estate sales agent in Needham, MA. During the course of her sales responsibility, I found Ms. Swenson to be totally and completely professional, accessible, and more than willing to answer questions. Because I was an out-of-state seller, she became the eyes and ears not only for the sale but of maintaining and managing the home in my absence. Everything she did was top notch and exceeded all of my expectations.

As an attorney, I have had the opportunity to encounter many real estate agents during my 43 year career. I would put Ms. Swenson as in the top 1% of all real estate agents I have ever dealt with and would hardily endorse and recommend her services to anyone wishing to sell real estate."

She was a delight to work with, and made what can be a stressful process a pleasant one! We highly recommend working with Kate to buy or sell your home!

"Kate did a wonderful job finding a lovely family to buy our elderly house with all of its wonderful quirks. She and a colleague helped us stage the house in a way that was doable while we were living there with three kids. Kate is incredibly responsive, even to random requests for information long after our closing."

"We recently worked with Kate Swenson to sell our home. Having worked with her already for the purchase of a home, we knew what a hard worker she is and how much market expertise she offers. We were nonetheless very apprehensive about the process. We had originally thought we would wait until the spring market to sell, despite having moved in the fall and wanted to move out all of our furniture, as we were nervous about our house sitting and getting "stale". Kate assured us that the fall would be the right time to sell and advised us not to move out if at all possible prior to our open house, as she believed our furniture and belongings would help our home to show well. Price was really important to us, and Kate worked very closely with us to get comfortable with our asking price. She provided thoughtful comps and regularly updated the comps as we got closer to listing. When we went on the market, every step of the process was perfect - timing of open houses, the mailing, the beautiful professional photos and the flawless materials. At the end of the first weekend on the market, we had 5 offers, all competitive. Kate handled every step until we closed. We closed at above our asking price. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Kate is truly dedicated and wonderful to work with, and we would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home."

"We recently worked with Kate Swenson to purchase a new construction home. We decided pretty spur of the moment that we were ready to buy new construction, and from that moment on, Kate made herself completely available to us for anything we needed. Kates market expertise and professionalism really shined through. She was patient and persistent and was with us every step of the way until the deal was done (and post-close!). We would recommend Kate to anyone looking to buy or sell a home."

"Kate Swenson was with us for months through some terrible luck. We couldn't have asked for anyone better!!"
