Lake Arrowhead Real Estate (909)273-4542 Kat DeLong, Realtor Dre#01235311

Lake Arrowhead CA ~ Southern California's Mile High Resort

I love helping people find their Lake Arrowhead dream home. Real estate can be a complicated "adventure" and, without a professional (like me) on your side, so many things can go wrong. I will guide you through the entire selling (or buying) process; beginning to end. And, along the way, I am hopeful that we become good friends. You will also discover that I will not disappear after the escrow has closed. That's a promise!

Lake Arrowhead sits in the heart of the California San Bernardino Mountains, at an elevation of 5,200 ft. We can safely say to our flat-lander friends, Come up for Air! We are only about 90 miles to Los Angeles( click on MAP ), making Lake Arrowhead a perfect get-away from the hustle bustle of the busy, big-city lifestyle below.

...in case you were wondering about Kat

Long before my family here (in 1991) & well before my real estate career began (1997), I actually had another life. First and foremost, I was a wife and mother (I am still a Mom), but I also worked outside the home as do many women.

During my really "younger" days, I was employed by TRW and NORTHRUP, both in their electronics divisions. But my first job, at Winchell's Donut House in Torrance, CA, was really my all-time favorite job! And I never gained a pound eating those tasty treats ('course I was very young).

My true passion is writing.

*** It was a pleasure working with Kat DeLong. Kat is professional on all levels. Strong negotiation skills and nerves of steel were required several times during my purchase of a home in Lake Arrowhead. The sellers were unreasonable at times and Kat kept a "cool head" and negotiated with the sellers agent to the positive outcome for both myself ( buyer) and the seller. At no time did she show signs of "pressure sales" but instead asked the right questions to determine our wants and needs for our home. She responded to all our questions/concerns in a timely manner and showed us numerous properties in the area of which she had provided us with all the information we requested in advance of seeing the property. Thom & Peggy

**Kathy was real helpfull in explaining the local market . She showed me several homes in different areas and in no way pushed me into buying a home on my first visit. I give her A+. Bob

She worked extremely hard through the whole entire home buying process and ensured everything would be wrapped up in time so our family could spend Christmas and ring in the New Year in our new home. Her negotiating skills, communication skills and the professionals she networks with made the purchase of our home in Lake Arrowhead extremely easy and most importantly stress free. Thank you Kat! We look forward to working with you again in the future! Best, Phil and Christine

We are so thankful for her always up-beat cheerful attitude that helps us through those negotiations with other realtors and the banks. Marilyn

Would recommend to friends and use Kat again in future transactions in the Lake Arrowhead area. Thanks again, Brad

** Kat was very helpful, patient, kind, knowlegable and FUN! She drove us around the mountain and even loaned our son a pair of snow boots when he soaked his shoes in the first 5 minutes! I would definitely recommend her and will definitely use her again when we upgrade! She made homebuying a breeze! The Ziegler Family

** I have a licence realtor brother - Julio Moreno . And because he is not from Lake Arrowhead area, we decided to pick a local agent. He recomended Kat after talking to a few agents in Lake Arrowhead. The entire procces of purchasing my vacation home was smooth, profectional, personel and with out worries. It will be two years in Oct. of 2011 and we have plety of great memories and enjoy every week-end when we are up the mountain. From time to time on the week-ends, I have seen Kat in Lake Arrowhead working hard and we wave at each other with a smile. I only have the highest respect for Kat and would recommend her to anyone who is purchasing a home in Lake Arrowhead area. Best wishes and if you see Kathy please say "Hi" from me -Louie Moreno

** Kathy is a wonderful agent. She hung in there with us when offer after offer ended in a bidding war. She was always available to answer questions and help us wade through the purchasing process. She stayed on top of a very lazy listing agent; without her we would given up on purchasing our dream vacation home. I would highly recommend Kathy DeLong; she is professional, personable, and always positive. She is a credit to her profession. Bille & George
