K.C. Soll, Broker Assoc.

Coastal Los Angeles Real Estate from Malibu to Palos Verdes

In early 1997, K.C. Soll saw the future of real estate. The Internet posed exciting opportunities for client satisfaction. K.C. created 2 Websites, took the majority of the digital images, and was one of the first Realtors to promote buyer/seller interaction with the local Multiple Listing Services by offering 24/7 access to active listings (IDX).

On about September 1, two of her Websites, www.InRealEstate.com and www.PalisadesRiviera.com will have gone through their third incarnation and face-lift. As digital imagery continues to enhance Internet driven real estate sales, so continual enhancement to her flagship real estate Websites is a must.

Her alliance with professional digital photographers has reaped huge benefits for her sellers.

K.C. Soll's renowned real estate market opinion commentaries are read by hundreds of prospective buyers and sellers, monthly.

With 30+ years of experience selling coastal area properties, her grasp of the complexities and necessarily confidential nature of property acquisition, has earned her the respect of clients and agents, alike.

Areas of Expertise

Customer Service is a paramount. I listen, and create a safe space where my clients can share their true needs and goals. Often in the process, they discover the true benefits of home ownership they need.

In this crisis, my focus is helping sellers mitigate losses and move-on. The buyers with whom I work are updated daily on market conditions and alerted immediately about properties that fit their must haves/wants. My door is always open.

Testimonials

"I went through K.C. to purchase a condo in Marina Del Rey. K.C. provides a deluxe sort of service. She not only got me a price that has impressed everyone I've shown, but she is there for you like a friend is there for you. She helped me move, went furniture shopping with me, and has fielded calls from me at 2 in the morning to answer concerns I had. If you want someone who's very professional as well as a wonderful friend, I would
recommend K.C.

Thanks,--KC
Lance Wu "...We are out of town buyers unfamiliar with the real estate market KC works in. KC did a great job in aquainting us with West Los Angeles real estate and then helping us to find and purchase a house we really wanted. I would not hesitate to use her services again.
"John S.. "...K.C. never let one item fall between the cracks. She was generous, supportive, hard-working, and tenacious. Every client on both sides of both deals have been amazed at how smoothly the transactions were accomplished....K.C. did what she said she was going to do
." Ms. A.S., Amalfi Drive, Pacific Palisades

"To whom it may concern: My wife and I would like to recommend Kathryn Carter Soll as one of the finest Realtors with whom we have ever worked. In San Francisco and Hawaii we have always sought the finest agents available. Ms. Soll's name belongs at the top of that very short list. Two things were immediately apparent upon our first interview; K.C. was thorough and she was perceptive. She questioned me as to my family's life style, taste, and interests. I also told her I wanted to see houses in all price categories. Perhaps the finest compliment that I can pay her is to say that throughout the negotiations her commission was not the object. The object was for us to find the best, most appropriate house for our family. It is a pleasure (and a relief) to look behind one's Realtor's eyes and see genuine interest rather than merely dollar signs..
L.L., Amalfi Drive, Pacific Palisades

"... an extremely effective communicator, both buyers and seller felt that a fair and equitable deal was struck and all was positive at closing"
Robert Souders, San Vicente Blvd., Santa Monica

"It was a difficult time, but her kindness, intuitiveness, and keen knowledge of her business made it all happen.
G., North Rockingham, Brentwood

"To whom it may concern; re: Kathryn Carter (Soll) What a wonderful gal!! Bright and intuitive, she sold a home for me in Pacific Palisades, and found me a new one at ** La Mesa Drive in Santa Monica. For my ex-husband she found a home at ** Latimer Rd., in Rustic Canyon, and another at ** Stone Canyon in Bel-Air. Know this: behind that lovely face is integrity."
Ms. E. E. M., La Mesa Drive, Santa Monica "To whom it may concern; We recently purchased a home through Kathryn Carter (Soll) I am sending you this letter because the quality of service she provided should not go unrecognized. To say that we were tough clients would be a gross understatement; we looked at over 60 homes in the Palisades over a year-and-a-half. We wanted the most value for the least cost, and we feel we got it thanks to Kathryn. Her knowledge of the Palisades coupled with her relaxed manner was a winning combination."
J.M., Northfield St., Pacific Palisades
Dear K.C., I can't thank you enough for your diligence in marketing our home at ** Amalfi Drive. You had a positive, up-beat approach that makes the difficult task of selling a home much easier on all concerned. Because we were going through a divorce, you had to do double duty to keep both parties informed and comfortable with the proceedings. I do wish you well and thank you from the bottom of my heart. I certainly appreciate your kindness and professionalism."
Ms. E.N., Amalfi Drive, Pacific Palisades "Dear K.C., Although selling real estate is never simple, I wanted to thank you for your efforts in making the sale of my mother's home at ** Woodacres Road relatively free of hassle. I appreciated not only the great energy you put into achieving a favorable sale, but your endless enthusiasm, your sensible suggestions concerning the salability of the house, and most importantly, the happy outcome."
T.U., Woodacres Rd., Santa Monica
"Dear K.C., It is with the greatest gratitude I wish to thank you for all the work you have done for my brother and me in the past. Nowadays, it is so difficult to find someone in business who is both so professional and highly ethical."
C.B., Shetland Lane, Brentwood

"Dear KC, Karen and I have just started to settle into our temporary home here in the Desert until our new home is completed later in the Fall.
As we reflect back, we just wanted you to know how much we appreciate all that you did as the Broker handling the multitude of details, ironing out potential problems and just overall looking out for our interests in the transaction.

As we stated from the beginning, when you walked thru our front door of our Brentwood house to take over the listing....it was like a "breath of fresh air" to see your enthusiasm, expertise, and people skills, all to work together to bring a successful conclusion to a very tedious and complicated process of selling a home today, under the present conditions and regulations. You were always there, either to explain something, hold our hand, or just be our friend...and we want you to know that we will always remember you for that. Karen and I feel, not only did you sell our home in a professional manner...but you became our good friend at the same time....and we will look forward to a long and good friendship together.
We just wanted you to know our sentiments. Good luck, and thank you again."
S & K, Brentwood.

To anyone who is contemplating the purchase of a home in the Westside of Los Angeles (Bel-air to Malibu including Santa Monica, Pacific Palisades and Brentwood!!!), we say "hire K.C. Soll!"

We'd like to recommend K.C. Soll as one of the finest professionals with whom we have ever worked. Although we live on the East Coast, we needed to purchase a home in Los Angeles. We were fortunate enough to find K.C.'s Website (www.InRealEstate.com) and were so impressed with it's ease of usage, that we contacted her immediately ( and directly). A few short hours later, we had not only received a return phone call but we had established an immediate rapport with a broker who asked us our preferences, listened to our needs and assured us they were plausible within our price range.

One can imagine that living 3,000 miles away, there would be great difficulties in finding a suitable home and closing the deal, but the whole process went as smoothly as could be.

We were so well-prepared that by the time we traveled West for the actual house-hunting trip, we had a strong sense of the area and what we could afford. Her suggestions were right-on-target.

She worked hard to save us time and money, and most importantly, to satisfy our preferences.

She returned every phone call and email, and her follow-through was flawless.

In fact, we were so delighted with the quality of her services and the ease of the whole transaction, that we bought a second property from her as well!

Sincerely,
David and Barbara L., Northfield, New Jersey and Brentwood, California
