Leimkuhler Group

"Downsizing most families my sister and I were faced with transitioning our father into a smaller place that he could manage and his large house in Anaheim Hills was no longer practical. We had several "friends of the family" in the real estate business and fortunately chose not to rely on "friendships" and instead focused on the best qualified. We interviewed all the local agents including our friends. Kathy and her team were the obvious winners. They took the emotional physical and financial needs into consideration and made the entire process a dream. Kathy's knowledge of the area and personal touch was remarkable and she explained the entire process and strategy of pricing the home properly to get the most exposure and the most money. Within a short period of time we had a "bidding war" and she not only sold his house at a higher amount than we originally expected but found my father a beautiful affordable condo he could call his own and was comfortable in. He loves Kathy and her team and she handled his delicate mental state and kept him out of the difficult issues the elderly face when downsizing. She's a winner! Divorce- within a year I was faced with my divorce and had to sell my own house in Anaheim Hills. Of course, Kathy and her team were hired again because of their past success and our wonderful experience. My divorce was complicated and the personalities involved were not only emotionally charged but almost impossible in my opinion. Kathy was able to maneuver through the gauntlet and take everyone's concerns into consideration. It truly was amazing to see how she again made a difficult home sale seem so easy for everyone involved.I don't write testimonials for anyone but kathy leimkuhler is exceptional and our situations were both complicated and seemingly impossible. Go with the best and you won't regret it!"

"When I think of Kathy the first thing that comes to mind is that she exemplifies all things professional. She goes far beyond what is necessary to see the transaction all the way through to successful completion. She works tirelessly and diligently and seems to be available 24/7. She truly represents her clients' best interests and doesn't worry about her commissions as she always puts the client first. Her experience and background are outstanding and she uses her knowledge and superlative negotiation skills to benefit her clients. Most importantly the greatest trait that Kathy exhibits is that she always keeps her word - simply stated: she lives up to her commitments. I would highly recommend Kathy to anyone who wants an agent who is experienced proactive reliable and just an amazing person. Kathy is not only our agent (both selling and buying) but has become a very special friend to us. We are very happy and satisfied with our relationship and wish her continued success."

"Me and my husband were looking for a house sometime fall of 2017. And we happened to go to an open house and there we met Jennifer. She gave us a tour of the house and was knowledgeable of the surrounding areas. She was so patient nice pleasant to talk to AND she made granola bars! Buying a house is not easy. I was getting discouraged stressed pretty much wanna give up. But she always encourages us. She does her research and constantly updates us on new listings. We highly recommend her. In fact, we have a handful of her business cards and we give it out to friends and families. Thank you so much, Jennifer. You made our house-hunting experience memorable. Thank you FirstTeam!"

"Our experience with Kathy was a pleasure. She was recommended by a friend of ours and the recommendation turned out to be excellent. Kathy sold our home quickly at a premium price. She was a personable and knowledgeable agent in the market. She connects with people on a down-to-earth level with a great smile and honesty. If you are looking for a realtor you cannot do better than Kathy. Fred and Susan Fechtman."

"Kathy Leimkuhler successfully sold my home very quickly and was accessible both by phone and text at all hours of the day. She showed a high level of competence at every stage of the selling process and I would highly recommend her for your real estate needs."

"It was such a pleasure working with Kathy and the entire team at Leimkuhler Group. We had been interested in selling our house for some time and Kathy had multiple consultations with us leading up to the listing in regards to what things needed to be fixed and changed to command top dollar from the sale. She made the entire process simple from start to finish and within the first week of our house being on the market, we had multiple offers. When our first buyer backed out Kathy quickly reached out to the backup offers and got an offer at the same price with a quick close. She truly understands the Anaheim Hills and southern California real estate market and made the process incredibly easy. The thorough knowledge of her and her staff made the process of selling our home an absolute pleasure. She's truly the best realtor with an amazing team around her."

"Kathy and Eric are the epitome of everything you could want in a realtor; well connected knowledgeable about Parkridge and professional. There is an ease about how they conduct business even amidst all the stress that comes with negotiating such an important personal transaction. The Leimkuhlers come across as a team that truly loves what they do and enjoy all there is abouParkridgege. Beginning with the day we called to have our home listed it was nice to have everything planned and scheduled from the Ariel photos marketing pre-sale indoor photos and staging. We are thankful to have Kathy as a neighbor and our A+ realtor."

"When I decided to sell my beloved home of 25 years and relocate to a different area of the state I immediately called Kathy because she came highly recommended by my former neighbors when they sold their house. As she and Eric sat at my kitchen table introducing themselves and their sales strategy I knew I was in safe hands. Of course, you would expect good agents to be knowledgeable professional, and upbeat negotiators with a proven track record in real estate. They were all of this and much more. Eric and Kathy spent hours with me explaining all the documents I was reading and signing and exactly what to expect at every stage of the selling process. If I had a question a quick text received a quick response and I was on my way. This brings me to more of their outstanding qualities as agents: patience timeliness clear communication and understanding. These qualities are not necessarily common to all agents as I was frequently reminded when I was dealing with a different agent who was representing me as a buyer in another part of the state. Messages went days before being acknowledged and some were even ignored. Kathy and Eric on the other hand were always available within moments whether by email text phone calls or even in person! If I needed help moving furniture they were on the spot in moments. If I needed recommendations for workers they had the names of people they knew and trusted. And if I needed someone to check on my cats when I could not be at home they obliged and provided comfort to my felines. But perhaps their most outstanding quality is their empathy. They always took time to acknowledge the emotional side of selling the house I loved and saying goodbye to a neighborhood I had called home for over 25 years. I count my new friendship with Kathy and Eric as the most valuable gain from selling my house. They are exceptional agents and loyal friends."

"Kathy and her team recently represented us in the sale of our home and we were thrilled with every aspect of the relationship. The Leimkuhler group brings the full package of beautiful and comprehensive marketing a balanced and experienced perspective during the offer and negotiation stages and consistent communication throughout the entire process. I highly recommend the Leimkuhler group whether you are buying or selling a home. I'm confident that you'll see the same highly comprehensive capabilities the team delivers - and be glad that you did!"

"I have participated in numerous real estate transactions over the years. None have been as seamless and enjoyable as working with Kathy and Eric. They gave excellent advice on timing. They got the price I was looking for and the very best terms. This mother-and-son team is simply amazing. If you're looking for a team who is no-nonsense and does everything they say and more then this is the team for you. I wish I had another property to sell Kathy and Eric so we could do it again!"

"My wife and I had to move out of state rather suddenly. Because we had had such a great experience with Kathy and Eric Leimkuhler in the past we turned to them again for some help. They came through in a major way! The Leimkuhlers put their expertise to work for us: they were able to sell our house very quickly for a price that was significantly higher than what we thought we could get. We trusted them in a crucial moment in our lives and they knew exactly what they were doing. Kathy and Eric picked the exact right moment to put the house on the market and as they predicted we had two competing offers within a week of listing. By following their skillful guidance we got even higher counter-offers and settled on the best one. During the escrow process, we had a big hiccup that almost derailed the deal, but of course, Kathy and Eric saved the day! The routine inspection revealed that our garage door had not been permitted by the city. Even though the door had been installed decades before we had even bought the house it was still our responsibility to fix the situation. The city inspector told us we might have to tear out the door and make it into a wall which would have been absurd. During this whole process, my wife and I were both out of state already. Kathy and Eric did everything to get us through this stressful situation. They met with the city inspector multiple times at our garage; they coordinated with a contractor to show that the door was structurally sound; they prepared documents for the very detailed permitting application. Then Kathy and Eric even personally went all the way to city hall and met with the city building permits department and charmed them into approving a permit for our garage door! When Kathy and Eric called me on speakerphone when they were leaving city hall I almost wept with gratitude. They had worked a miracle to save the day! Kathy and Eric Leimkuhler are experts at buying and selling houses, and they will go above and beyond to get the job done. I am grateful to them for their hard work kindness and generosity. I highly recommend them to help you with your house!"

"The Leimkuhler Group was excellent to work with! Their local expertise professionalism knowledge and marketing allowed me to get a record-setting price for the sale of my home. From the moment I first met with them through the listing of my home in Mabury Ranch to the close of escrow, everything went off without a hitch exactly as Kathy and Eric planned. I was very pleased with how they conducted business including their communication and the fact that they were personally involved in every aspect of the sale to make it as seamless as possible. I would highly recommend the Leimkuhler group!"

"If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Kathy, Eric, and Ryan are a complete full-service team that guided me every step of the way so I didn't have to worry about anything. They are very tech savvy are always thinking ahead and go above and beyond in all facets of the process. They facilitated and marketed an estate sale for me helped out on move day and were always available when I needed them. Could not have done this without them and feel so lucky to have had them in my corner for the third time!"

"I don't know how I can possibly leave a review without telling the entire remarkable story, because whenever I think about it, I still can't believe we pulled this whole thing off so fast. My husband and I were heading out of state to look at real estate near our family, and we met with Kathy to discuss the value of our home so we would know what price range to consider. While on our trip, we found our dream home, but the morning after we got back, my husband passed away. Soon after, still wanting to go ahead with the move, I talked to Kathy, and she came right over and advised me on the most important things I could do to sell my home quickly, as time was of the essence if I still wanted the house we had fallen in love with. This was a huge undertaking, as we were the original owners and had lived there for 42 years, accumulating a ton of clutter and an attic full of belongings. Most everything in the house was original, including the carpet, the Airconditioning, and the garage door. You get the idea. Kathy and both of her charming realtor sons, Eric and Ryan, spent countless hours helping me box up things, move furniture out to the garage, and rearrange what was left. They even brought in a stager and a gardener to help make my somewhat dated home look and feel like a five-star penthouse suite. It was so beautiful and relaxing that I almost wanted to stay! Just like that, it was ready for the listing photos and drone video. At this point, the Leimkuhler Group still hadn't even had me sign a contract. That's how special they are. They are so kind, caring, trustworthy, and professional in every aspect of their business. All three of them feel like family. They held an open house the following weekend, and we had multiple offers, just as Kathy had anticipated. We had offers well over the asking price and accepted an offer in just nine days with a three-week escrow! But wait, that's not all. They made a great estate sale flyer, advertised it, and put up signs, and the three of them helped me put up canopies and move my heavy garage sale items out. They also came back to move some large items to the curb for donation right before I moved out. Whatever I needed, they were there within minutes, all the way through the selling process. The icing on the cake was the phone call I got from Kathy as I was on the road to my new home. She said, “Congratulations! Escrow has closed on your sale, and you are now officially a homeowner in your new state.” And yes, escrow also closed on my out-of-state dream home the following day. Every single step of my home sale just easily slipped into place without a hitch. Kathy even reached out to my out-of-state realtor several times during this process to advise and help her with all the tips and tricks that make Kathy such a great realtor. This just goes to show that with the right team and God on your side, miracles do in fact happen. I'll be forever grateful for all three of you."

"Kathy and her team were amazing to work with. They provided a perfect amount of support and guidance. Additionally they were such experts in the market. They predicted how the sale would go and it transacted exactly as they said. It was so great to get confirmation from the escrow company about the teams competence completely unsolicited as well! You won't be disappointed!"

"Kathy, Eric, and Ryan did an excellent job at helping us sell our home! They are a full package! They came to us with sales information staging expertise financial information internet social media expertise and the down-to-earth honesty and loyalty that is hard to find these days! When they sat down with us and went through the comps and market analysis they were able to tell us the time frame we would be on the market and the date we would be in escrow! They sold our home the first weekend! They were there for us every step of the way! They are priceless! Thank you, Kathy, Eric, and Ryan!"

"We were so fortunate to have Kathy, Eric, and Ryan guiding us first in buying our home and perhaps more importantly in selling our long-time family home. I'm not sure how we would have managed without their expertise. They were always available to walk us through any questions or concerns and there were many! Any advice came with an understandable explanation. Their knowledge and positive attitude were priceless during what could be an overwhelming time. Having a team we could trust during both transactions meant the world to us. We recommend them!"
