Testimonials

Serena G.

Kathy has served as our realtor for several transactions including both home sale and purchase over the course of several years. She is an EXEMPLARY, professional, kind, dedicated, and passionate expert who I would strongly recommend (and have recommended) to anyone seeking a realtor. Kathy goes above and beyond the traditional role of a realtor and is truly an expert- her knowledge of local codes, market trends and resources is encyclopedic. She is very responsive and will work tirelessly on your behalf up to and beyond closing day. It is always a joy working with Kathy and we wouldn't dream of going to anyone else for our real estate needs! 

Richard & Peg S.

We are pleased to not only on comment on her knowledge and professionalism, but really on the personal time and effort she gave us in our house hunt. We felt she was working for us as her only client. The time and attention given was above and beyond what we expected. She worked to give us all the information we needed to make the correct decision for us. Her patience was outstanding and much appreciated. She responded timely to our calls and constant requests to look at homes on the market. The best way to say it was that we felt we were dealing with a friend and she was treating us as a friend, not just as a client. We are now looking forward to working with her once more to sell our previous home.

Samantha H.

Kathy was wonderful to work with and couldn't have made selling our house any easier. She was quick to respond to any questions we had and provided frequent updates on showings. After listing, the amount of effort on our part was next to none as she took care of everything.
I highly recommend working with Kathy. Should we ever need a realtor to buy or sell we most definitely will be in contact with Kathy.

McCall S.

Kathy is a great realtor-- I don't know what I would have done without her! She knows a lot about housing in the Iowa City area and promptly scheduled appointments for showings whenever I requested. She has a bright and sunny personality that made her a joy to work with! Five stars all around-- I couldn't recommend her more!

Sush M.

Kathy helped us buy our home and our experience with her has been outstanding. She knows the ins and outs of the real estate market in the Iowa City area. Her experience comes in very handy for purchasing a property in this seller driven market. She was never pushy and always gave us honest advice regarding the homes we saw. She promptly responds to the emails, texts and phone calls. She stays on top of all the official things and makes sure everything falls in place for a smooth closing. She did a great job during negotiations and always kept our interests above everything else. She pays attention to details which sometimes realtors miss. We befitted from it and got some "extras" during negotiations. For us, the personal touch that she adds to her work means a lot. We were first time home buyers and we always felt that we were in safe and efficient hands.

Dennis K.

Kathy used the Zillow marketplace to help me find a home to buy. It is user friendly and a great resource in searching for specific house needs. I would recommend it to anyone in search for a house to rent or buy.

Mark T.

Kathy is the most excellent, professional, kind and generous professional you could hope to work with! She will go the extra mile for you (responding to emails at 2am, negotiating with kindness, following up and helping you settle in your new home as just a few examples). She listens to what you want and is truly dedicated to helping you on your own terms.
She is also extremely well connected in the Iowa City area (and surround) and will help you find the best inspectors, loan officers, contractors etc. Even after you've closed, she'll keep tabs on you and is always accessible and happy to help with anything that emerges. I truly couldn't recommend her more!

Heather R.

Not only is Kathy an amazing realtor but she has also turned into a wonderful friend through the home buying/selling process. She has assisted us along the way with advice, answers to questions, and guidance throughout the months leading up to our closing. Kathy was always quick to reply to our phone calls and emails and was always willing to go above and beyond the call of a realtor. Kathy works with a sense of diligence and integrity that is rare these days and for that among other reasons we would recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home. What a gem!

Heather S.

REALATOR EXTROADINAIR!!! Not only did Kathy sell our house and help us find our dream home in the middle of winter but she went above and beyond on a weekly basis to make the whole process as easy as possible for us. She was always on call and ready to answer our questions and give advice when we needed it. Showings were set up for us on a dime and she hustled around to make things happen for us like a track star. I would proudly recommend Kathy to anyone buying or selling their home. She is truly a GEM!

Emily W.

Kathy was amazing. We were first-time home buyers looking for a modest starter home, and several agents blew me off entirely when I first contacted them. By contrast, Kathy kept me updated day and night with stuff she thought might help -- and it did! When things got a little iffy with my lender, Kathy stepped in to help. She made the whole process a lot smoother and a hell of a lot more fun than it would have been otherwise. Plus, she's a cool person.

Ashley S

Kathy Fobian was amazing to work with! She is very knowledgeable and professional. She made the process very easy on both the buying and selling side. She had our family's best interest in mind throughout the whole process and we truly appreciated the experience!

Jim P.

I would recommend Kathy Fobian as a very knowledgable and honest realtor. She knows the corridor area well, and was also knowledgable about different builders in the area. She showed us multiple homes prior to finding the perfect house for our family, some on very short notice. She was patient and listened to what we were looking for in our new home. Didn't waste our time showing us homes we would not be interested in, and wasn't pushy on making a sale.

Jill W.

I got to know Kathy when I first visited here with my husband for his second job interview. Kathy took me look around the city and told me how wonderful the city is. I knew many things of Iowa City from her, such as the weather, housing, living, shopping, and schools. From her words, I can feel how much she likes here and that makes me more confident to move here. She showed me many houses that time even though she knew whether I will move here or not. She is so patient, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. I remembered the first day, she showed me many ranches as I asked. But after seeing all the ranches, I changed my mind to two-level house. I felt so bad wasting her time. But she didn’t complain a single word, just put together another two-story list to let me look through, rearranged showing, and took me to see the houses next day.
After I decided to buy an under-construction new house, Kathy helped me gather the pictures of all the options and sent them to me by tons of emails to let me choose. That is a huge amount of work but she was very patient and gave me many helpful advices. Every time people come to my house saying “How beautiful your floors are” I will think of Kathy, she strongly suggested me to update the floor to the real wood one. Now I am so glad I listened to her.
Also, after I moved in, Kathy's job is over but she still cares if there is anything I may concern and negotiated with the builder to fix the small things I concerned.
I would say I am really lucky to meet Kathy, she helped me buy my ideal home. I will definitely recommend her and will ask her help again when I sell my house.

Larry F.

Kathy was phenomenal to work with throughout the home buying process! We met her at an open house and we really liked how she was knowledgable about all aspects of home ownership. She was willing to have frank conversations about a house and point out things we never even would have looked for. She spent six months with us looking for a home and had all the patience in the world. We made seven separate offers throughout our time together. As first-time homebuyers she walked us through all the paperwork and made sure we understood all the legal jargon. She even helped us understand some of our financing when the bank was unable to explain it in a way we understood. Kathy really made us feel like we were the most important people she was dealing with. That was very important to us. Also, she was always quick to respond to a phone call, text message, or email. She was willing to look at any house we found, and she continually found houses for us to look at. With Kathy it never felt like she was trying to sell us a property, but rather that she was helping us find a home. We HIGHLY recommend Kathy.
