I can't say enough good things about Kathy Festen. She was fantastic from the beginning. Our son was a 1st time home buyer and she was with him every step of the way. She takes care of her clients and is a true asset to the FOOTE team.
Thank you, Angela, for your kind words. We're thrilled Kathy provided such exceptional support to your son throughout his first home purchase. She is indeed a valued member of our team and we will share your praise with her. Congratulations to your son on his new home and thank you for the recommendation.

Five years ago, Kathryn Festen stood in my very first home with my mom, my boyfriend, and me while we made the decision to put in an offer — and yes, we all cried together like we were in the season finale of a very emotional HGTV show. Fast forward 5 years later, and Kathy helped us find our next “perfect” property… which, to be fair, was more “potential-filled disaster with good bones” than perfect. But we saw the vision, and Kathy did too.
What followed was one of the most chaotic buying experiences imaginable, complete with former owners refusing to leave the property on closing day. But through every stressful moment, Kathy and her team were absolute rock stars.
They answered every question, calmed every panic spiral, and somehow managed to make us laugh through the madness. They even helped coordinate secure ownership of the property, connected us with junk removers, cleaners, storage for our moving trucks, contractors, lawyers — basically everyone short of an exorcist (though at one point we considered asking).
Kathy’s support goes so far beyond “realtor.” She genuinely cares about her clients and treats you like family through every high, low, and complete dumpster-fire moment of the process. We are endlessly grateful for her passion, patience, humor, and determination to help us find the right home time and time again.
If you want a realtor who will celebrate with you, fight for you, and probably survive a real estate apocalypse alongside you, Kathy is your person.
Jacob, thank you so much for this wonderful review and for trusting Kathy and our team again. We’re thrilled we could help you see the potential in your new home and navigate such a chaotic closing, and we know that was far from easy. Hearing that we helped calm panics, coordinate contractors and services, and treated you like family means the world to us. We appreciate your kindness and are here for anything you need as you settle in or for your next real estate adventure. Amy

Kathy Festen was our realtor when we sold our home of 39 years. She was incredibly helpful. We first spoke to her 5 years ago, when we were first thinking about selling. We touched base with her a couple times before we were ready and she was always patient, letting us know that we would know when the time was right. When we were ready, she was incredibly helpful and very reasonable with recommendations that would help us get the best possible price. She clearly understood the market in our area and how to best show a house. She met with us several times and never rushed us or made us feel like we were taking too much of her time.
As we went through the process, she had great advice and recommendations on people and businesses we needed to complete the sale and get packed and out of our home. We were out of the state when it went on the market, but everything flowed smoothly through the whole process. She was with us every step of the way!
She had beautiful photos taken (we treasure having them!) and our home sold the first day for more than our asking price!
If you are looking to sell your home or buy a home, you can’t do better than Kathy Festen at Compass!
Thank you, Steve, for trusting Kathy Festen with the sale of your home of 39 years and for sharing such a thoughtful review. We're so glad Kathy’s patience, market knowledge, and recommendations made the process smooth—especially while you were out of state. Hearing that the beautiful photos are treasured and your home sold the first day for over asking makes us very proud. Kathy and the Compass team appreciate your recommendation and are here if you or anyone you know needs help in the future.

Working with Kathryn Festen was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. From our first conversation, we felt like we were in good hands. She took the time to really understand what we needed, and never once made us feel rushed or pressured. It felt like we were working with a trusted friend-someone who truly had OUR best interest at heart.
Kathy was patient, knowledgeable, transparent and incredibly responsive. Every question we had(and there were a lot) was answered with clarity, kindness and understanding. When unexpected things came up, Kathy handled them calmly and professionally, always keeping us informed and grounded.
What meant the most to us was how much Kathy genuinely cared-not just about a closing deal, but making sure we were comfortable and confident every step of the way. That kind of care is rare.
We are so grateful we had Kathy by our side, and we’d recommend Kathy to anyone one without hesitation.

I have been working with Kathy to sell my home and my rental property. She is fabulous! She is personable and she knows her job! She dove right in with both properties and currently they are both under contract. She will keep you informed and answer your questions in a timely manner. She is on it! I really appreciate it when someone goes that extra mile and works hard. Thank you Kathy! It's been a pleasure.

I can't say enough positive remarks about working with Kathryn Festen as my realtor. From the very first moment I was connected through her via a recommendation, she was on top of everything and so attentive to my questions and desires in purchasing my first home. She is honest and never makes you feel like she's just trying to get a sale - she cares about finding the right home for YOU while being realistic about the current market. Communication was stellar at all steps of the journey, even after the purchase is concluded. I feel confident I could contact her at any time for assistance in any matters related to my home. I also loved the use of the Compass App which tailors home recommendations based on your preferences and allows you to organize interested/not interested smoothly to help wade through homes on the market (or coming soon). Lastly, Kathy has a great team of connections who I could similarly rave about including a contract lawyer and lender to help minimize the work of finding and vetting your own. I would recommend Kathy and this company to any family and friends!
Thank you for your wonderful review, Brittany! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with Kathryn Festen. It's great to know that her dedication and the Compass App made your home buying journey easier and more enjoyable. We appreciate your recommendations and look forward to assisting you and your friends in the future!

Kathryn was absolutely amazing throughout my home-buying journey! As a first-time homebuyer, I had so many questions and concerns, but Kathryn’s expertise, patience, and support made the entire process smooth and manageable. She was always quick to respond and flexible with scheduling showings, which made it so much easier to navigate a competitive market. Her thoughtful tips and advice were invaluable, especially for someone new to the experience. Kathryn truly went above and beyond to guide me every step of the way, making sure I felt confident and informed throughout the process. I couldn’t have asked for a better realtor, and I highly recommend Kathryn for all your home-buying needs!
Thank you for your wonderful review, Vanessa! We're thrilled to hear that Kathryn provided you with such exceptional support during your home-buying journey. Her dedication to her clients is truly commendable, and your recommendation means a lot to us. We wish you all the best in your new home!

Sheila Wollmuth was amazing! This was our first time selling a home and Sheila made the process as smooth as possible. Shelia was well-informed on the local market and helped us make informed decisions. She took the time to explain each stage of the process step-by-step, was patient with all of our questions, and was communicative throughout. Sheila went above and beyond in supporting us, from getting our home ready for showings all the way through closing. We are so grateful for all her kindness and positivity.
Christina, thank you so much for that amazing review! Sheila is such a valued member of our team and she DOES do an amazing job! So happy you got to experience it as well! Amy

Robert Bolster2024.05.30
I recently sold my home after living in it for almost 24 years. To say I was nervous about the whole selling process was an understatement. I was introduced to Amy Foote and her team Foote through a friend's referral. After our initial meeting, I felt relieved that I was working with a professional (not someone who is in real estate part time). Throughout the selling process, Amy was always updating me, explaining each step (something I appreciated). As we approached the closing date, the unthinkable happened, the buyers financing fell through. Almost immediately, Amy stepped up and was able to guide the buyer's realtor through the process to get the buyer re-qualified. Without Amy's help, I truly believe the whole deal would have fallen apart.
Amy is a true professional. If you are in the buying or selling scenario, I highly recommend giving Amy Foote a call.
Bob, thank you so much for the glowing review. It was truly my pleasure to help you and so glad we cpuld turn it around and get it closed quickly with our lender after the buyer's lender declined them! It was a great save for everyone! Amy
