I am originally from Chicago ( a die
hard Cub fan), spent school years in Villanova, PA and have been in California
since 1974.

I understand the transition from
other parts of the country to California. I do understand that no matter how
beautiful your new home might be, it just isn't home...yet.

I take great pleasure in inventing many
ways, both tangible and intangible, to make my clients' transaction and
move as smooth as possible, whether the move is across the street, across the
continent, or across the globe.
I am dedicated to providing an
exceptional level of service for my clients by Combining Old Fashioned
Service and Integrity with Up-To-The-Minute Technology. The focus of my
business is to provide first class service for my clients and subsequent
referrals rather than spend my time aggressively marketing myself. This results
in a business singularly devoted to constantly improving the level of service
provided to my clients. I have also earned the following designations:
Previews Properties Specialist, Seniors Real Estate Specialist, and
President's Circle.
Seniors Real Estate Specialist!
Seniors who need advice about their homes and rental properties can turn to
Kate Bransfield, a realtor with Coldwell Banker in Pacific Palisades.
Bransfield, recently was awarded the Seniors Real Estate Specialist
professional designation by the Senior Advantage Real Estate Council in
Murphys, California. These specialists help seniors make wise decisions about
selling the family home, buying rental property, managing the capital gains and
estate tax implications of owning real estate, obtaining a reverse mortgage,
moving to a senior community and other issues. These specialists also work with
the SRE Council which tracks the special issues and needs of senior property
owners and provides education to realtors who make seniors an important focus
of their business. Last week, Bransfield earned the Coldwell Banker Previews
Property Specialist designation, according to Mary Fran Murphy of Coldwell
Banker. In addition to a rigorous performance criteria, Bransfield had to
complete a prescribed certification course, designed specifically for marketing
luxury residential properties to affluent buyers worldwide.

Selling Your Home >The Best Real Estate Agents
The best real estate agents in today's marketplace are becoming even better about marketing the homes they list to the public, as well as to other agents who have potential buyers.
When you are interviewing prospective real estate agents to help you sell your home, ask how they find buyers. In the past, a "For Sale" sign would go into the ground, the basic information went into the Multiple Listing Service, and then there was an occasional Sunday classified ad and an "open house". If the house did not sell right away, the agent might recommend a price reduction.
Agents today are much more sophisticated and pro-active about getting people into their homes. They rely on computers, direct mail, telemarketing, and just plain clever ideas that no one else has tried. Ask prospective listing agents for two things--a written analysis of what is happening with housing prices in your area and a marketing plan which outlines how they would get your home from "For Sale" to "Sold".
