Kathe van Hoften

Welcome!

In today’s complex real estate market, it is critical to hire an agent who is experienced, professional and market savvy. I have been successfully buying and selling real estate in Orange County since 2003.

My tagline is 'The Realtor with a Heart' because with every sale I make, I donate money to any charity you choose. I also go above and beyond the call of duty to help sell my listings- staging your home for free, extensive targeted marketing, access to pocket listings and free maid service are just some of the many perks my clients receive.

As the #1 ranked agent in my office and on Yelp.com, I am proud of my accomplishments and I look forward to the opportunity of working with you and earning your business.

"I cannot say enough about Kathe. Excellent! Spectacular! Extremely competent, bright, creative, principled. She stayed on top of all the players to make sure that the wheels kept turning (and there were many wheels - HOA approval, appraisal, loan app, etc.). And kept me immediately apprised of the progress. She was such a pleasure to work with; I am extremely satisfied. I am so very grateful to my friend who recommended her and also had a highly worthwhile experience selling her place. (Mine was on the purchase side.)"

"Choosing Kathe van Hoften was one of our first and best decisions when we started our journey of moving from LA to south oc. We didn't know exactly where we wanted to land and Kathe patiently showed us houses from Laguna Niguel to San Clemente and one crazy weekend in Huntington Beach! She was always optimistic and helped us finally find our perfect house! She's been an amazing partner in the overwhelming process."

"I couldn't have made this move without Kathe. She went over and above to get our house sold after another realtor left us in a bad situation. I trusted that she could help us and never had to worry. I would recommend her!"

"Kathe was wonderful every step of the way. With only one weekend of open house, she was able to present me with five offers. We soon opened escrow and closed within 30 days. She was very professional responsible easy to get in touch with and knowledgeable about the entire process. I would recommend her to any of my friends/family or anybody looking to buy or sell their home."
