Real experiences from real clients across Ventura and Santa Barbara counties.
"We worked with Kate briefly on a somewhat difficult to navigate through family project. She was the only realtor we came across who was actually willing to "think outside the box", continually adjusting to our situation and needs, all while providing helpful feedback and direction. I would both recommend and work with her again in the future."
Jim Tate
Ojai, CA
Client"My husband was mainly the one dealing with our real estate purchase. He mentioned to me many times how pleased he was with our realtor, Kate Budroe. She kept him informed and updated throughout the process, and he really appreciated that. Kate was always a pleasure to be around, and very effecting with her work. I know that my husband would consider her to be the best agent out there, and I would have to agree with that."

Buyer"I had an outstanding experience working with Kate. She is incredibly knowledgeable and guided me through every step with confidence and clarity. As a first-time homebuyer, I had a lot of questions, and Kate always kept me informed and made sure I understood everything that was happening. Her communication, expertise, and support made the entire process completely stress-free. She helped me find my very first home, and I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and professional realtor."

Buyer"Kate was phenomenal to work with. From start to finish, she showed an impressive mix of professionalism, warmth, and deep market knowledge. She really took the time to understand what I was trying to accomplish — even when some of my goals were a stretch — and found smart ways to make them happen, either right away or through a realistic plan for later. Her communication was exceptional; she always responded quickly and made sure I was never left wondering what was going on. Even after closing, she followed up to be sure everything was taken care of and that I was completely satisfied. I've worked with several agents over the years, and Kate truly stands out. She goes above and beyond for her clients, and I wouldn't hesitate to work with her again when it's time to sell my property in Ventura/Oxnard. Highly recommend!"

Oxnard, CA
Client"This was our first time buying a home for my wife and I. We were both nervous and didn't really know what to expect. Kate Budroe was extremely helpful, honest and informative. She kept us in the loop every step of the way and made sure we understood everything. She has excellent references for things we would need both before, and after buying. Such as, inspectors, loan officers, plumbers, termite, etc. She was at our inspection just 2 weeks before her baby was due. And she still kept in touch with us even after having her baby. Thank you so much Kate for the great experience."
Benjamin Perham
Camarillo, CA
Buyer"As if being just a month away from the delivery of your first child wasn't stressful enough, my husband and I decided to double down and purchase our first home as well! There's no way we could have done it without the help of Kate Budroe! Kate was in constant contact with us through every step of the way (even after the delivery of her own first baby). As first time buyers we didn't have many contacts for people such as inspectors, loan officers, termite control, etc. and Kate was able to provide us with reliable recommendations. She made sure we were both informed and comfortable throughout the entire process. Her personable demeanor and abundance of knowledge was a huge reassurance, and made the experience easy and enjoyable. Thank you so much Kate!"

Buyer"As first-time homebuyers, we couldn't have asked for a better realtor than Kate Budroe. She was clear, patient, and explained everything in a way that made the process feel less overwhelming. Her communication and dedication truly stood out. We're so grateful for her help and highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home!"

Buyer"Kate Budroe was incredible to work with during our home-buying journey. She was knowledgeable, responsive, and always had our best interests in mind. From the first showing to closing day, she made the process smooth and stress-free. Her market insight and honest guidance helped us find the perfect home. We're so grateful for her support and highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy!"
Joel Arenas
Santa Paula, CA
Buyer"We had an amazing experience working with Kate! From start to finish, she guided us through every step of the home-buying process with patience, clarity, and genuine care. She was always available to answer our questions — no matter how big or small — and went above and beyond to make sure we felt supported the entire way. Kate made everything easy to understand and took the stress out of what could have been an overwhelming process. She's honest, dependable, and truly has her clients' best interests at heart. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and trustworthy realtor!"
Steena Bischof
Ventura, CA
Buyer"I met Kate through Zillow after requesting a showing on a home I was interested in. It was early in the home buying process and I did not have a real estate agent yet. After meeting her in person, we instantly clicked. I asked her if she would move forward as my agent and I'm so glad she said yes. Kate was diligent, communicative and followed up when she said she would. She helped us navigate a tricky home buying process with a flipping company that was less than ideal to work with. She provided reassurance, listened to our needs and ultimately got us into the home we were working towards. If I had to do it again, I would 100% make the same choice to work with her. If you want someone reliable and hardworking to help turn you into a homeowner she's your girl."

Deborah Arevalo
Oxnard, CA
Landlord"It was such a pleasure working with Keller Williams Real Estate Co., Kate Budroe our agent that we chose to sell our home was the best. Kate always went above and beyond her normal duties, from having beautiful photos to advertise our home to helping with last minute details to help us move out of our home. Kate was able to bring in several offers from only one open house and we sold within 2 weeks. Kate was always quick to respond to any question and to fix any issues that came up. We are so happy in our new home."

Buyer"I couldn't have asked for a better experience than I had selling my house through Kate. She was on top of every aspect of the sale, knew how to price and promote the sale, and kept me in the loop every step of the way. My house sold quickly and without any issues thanks to Kate."

Frances Regalado
Ventura, CA
Client"Couldn't have dreamed of a better realtor! My husband and I started house hunting in November of 2024. We were so lucky to have met Kate Budroe at one of her open houses in our neighborhood. We both liked Kate right away; she is smart, hands on, supportive, and super bubbly. She went above and beyond helping us hunt for our dream home. Whenever we needed her, she was there. From dropping everything to write up an offer to texting us answers to any questions we asked. And through the ups and downs of house hunting she always had the most supportive and positive things to say which kept us going. In the end, after 7 months of searching, we did find our dream home! We truly couldn't have done it without her. If you need a realtor in Ventura, we highly endorse Kate!"
Madeline Adams
Ventura, CA
Buyer"I recently had the pleasure of working with Kate Budroe to sell my home, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From start to finish, Kate's professionalism was outstanding, making the entire process seamless and stress-free. Compared to other realtors I've worked with, Kate was head and shoulders above the pack in energy, ability and attitude. Kate's expertise in the real estate market was evident from our first meeting. She provided invaluable insights on how to best position my property, and her strategy clearly paid off. She was incredibly accommodating and positive throughout the entire process including our open house, negotiations, inspections and walk-through. She updated me regularly throughout the entire escrow process, keeping me informed and at ease. Her attention to detail and shrewd negotiation skills were instrumental in navigating some complex issues, ultimately securing a very favorable outcome for me. What truly sets Kate apart is her genuine care for her clients. I highly recommend Kate Budroe to anyone looking to buy or sell a home."
