I live in Las Vegas and wanted to move back to Boise. Buying a house while never going to the city where the house actually is certainly presents problems. I compounded the difficulty by being in Singapore for 6 weeks while trying to find a house and complete the purchase.

The first realtor I contacted advised me to call when I returned to this country. Kate's response, "Sure! What are you looking for and what can I do to make this easier?"

Kate worked with a 14 hour time difference. She offered to visit the registrar's office when I couldn't access government websites from overseas. She found contractors for me when the inspection revealed problems.

Kate understands the real estate market and her contacts in that world are impressive. I never asked a question she couldn't answer.

I closed on my new house 47 days after Kate wrote the offer. That took dozens of phone calls at all hours, and hundreds of emails. I closed over a week ago and still talk with Kate as I work with contractors to get work done on the house before I move in. I'm still in Las Vegas - for another week. I've not met Kate, nor been in my new house. Thanks to her commitment to me, I feel I know both Kate and my new home very well. Kate McGwire is not only my real estate agent, she is my friend.
