"Kathy, just a short note to thank you. Donna and I are both pleased with the sale of our house and feel very satisfied having selected you to represent us. Certianly the market is difficult at this time, but because of your advertisting strategy and contacts with other real estate people throughout the area you were successful. During the summer ther were 28 showings addition to the open house you hosted. That's high traffic for a slow market and is what's required to get the job done. In addtion, your constant follow up and frequent personal contact with us was most appreciated. And when the time came for the closing there were no hitches, everything went like clock work. Good job. Once again thank you."

This is a testimonial from a former client - referring Kathy to another Client

When we worked with Kathy Wittbrodt 2 years ago we told her if we could ever share our positive experience with a client, to let us know. She mentioned you are considering using her office.

Kathy was the listing agent on the property we bought and was also our realtor. She did a FABULOUS job and we could not have been more pleased with the service. We have dealt with many realtors over the years and this was by far one our our best experiences. She and Alice spent an enormous amount of time making us feel they had our best interests at heart. 

The real estate market in the area is very competitive and we found bigger isn't always better.......we really appreciated the personal care and service they gave us. She is very knowledgable on the area and is well connected. We will definitely use them in the future.

Please feel free to contact us anytime about our experience with Wittbrodt Waterside Properties and good luck!

Sincerely,

Dr and Mrs Mark Vanderkaay

Hi Kathy and Alice,

Wanted to write to you to thank you for your terrific job in selling our Torch Lake Home.  Many months of hard work, continued new ideas and advertising to find a qualified buyer for the property paid off with a final closing.  Not only did you do a great job at the day to day communication and planning of targeting the market, when a pending offer came in you went up and beyond the duty to coordinate with the prospective buyers many additional needs and interests in the property.  This included coordination with surveying and excavating crews to evaluate the property for potential property split and communicated with the Township their input and needs to make sure all parties were able to meet the final objective of the new owners and the current sellers.  We appreciated all your efforts up and beyond the normal property listing and sale efforts you both put together on our behalf.  I would highly recommend you to anyone that is looking to purchase or sell a home in the market you cover so very well.

Thank you again for all your efforts.

Alice,

Before we turn the page for the next chapter of our lives, we wanted to thank you for all your help selling our Elk Rapids home. We were most impressed with your patience, attention to detail, and willingness to do whatever would be helpful to sell the home. As a school administrator for over 40 years I have worked with thousands of students, staff, parents, and community members. You would rank as high as any of them in your ability to listen, your kind and caring manner, and your extremely positive and pleasant personality. It was indeed a pleasure working with you. We would not hesitate to recommend you to any potential client as one of the best.

Kathy,

We were so pleased with you as our Realtor. You did stick with us for quite some time, always left us thinking you had our best interests in mind, and rate you as one of the classiest people we have met. We certainly think you have great taste in decorating too. Thanks for all your help and for being much more than a Realtor ----you were a friend I hope our paths cross again sometime soon.

Dear Alice,

Thank you so much for selling my brothers house and making the process so smooth. You did an excellent job from the open house till the actual sale. Also, helping us find the perfect land we were looking for to plan our new home. Everything went so well with the process and adding such a personal touch was very comforting. We are so very glad we went with Wittbrodt Waterside Properties. Anyone looking for a great Realtor needs to talk with you first. Thanks again.

Kathy,

I just want you to know that it was an absolute pleasure doing business with you. When my grandfather passed, and i was faced with the responsiblity to sell his home, thank goodness I found you. As a lifelong Floridian, I knew nothing about the Real Estate market in Michigan. When we first spoke on the phone you immediately knew just what to do and handled everything on your own while I was miles away. You were spot on when setting the list price, and in a matter of days you called me with multiple oofers. Our ideal offer was quickly negotiated into contract, all while I was miles away. When I made it to Michigan, you ensured all the details were in order for a seamless closing. Because of your expertise, selling my grandfather's home was not a burden. And thank you for going above and beyond to provide assistance when needed to finalize last minute tasks even after the sale of the home had close. I was touched by your kindness. I can now say I have  friend and topnotch Realtor in Michigan. My grandfather would be happy.

At Waterside Properties Kathy and Alice make a good team. Their knowledge and skills put us at ease. Within a short time from listing the property, they had secured signatures of potential buyers. Even while we were traveling they helped us achieve a signed contract. The Buyers are enthusiastic and happy. We, the Sellers, are so pleased with our new neighbors and the overall deal. Thank you Alice and Kathy

Alice helped us sell our first home and buy our new home. Our old home sold very quickly and we were able to get into our new home simultaneously. Alice was a joy to work with and we were pleased with the outcome of both the sale and new purchase. We would recommend Alice to anyone looking for a realtor.

Recently, in our search of a cottage in the Elk Rapids/Traverse City area, my husband and I were referred to Wittbrodt Waterside Properties. A friend further recommended Alice Rubert as our real estate agent there. We had a truly positive experience in working with our contact Alice. She was a true professional, prompt, she listened well to our needs and requirements and was alwasy ready to help us in any way that she could. We were most impressed with how she helped us with the house we ended up purchasing. My husband found a newly listed home but we were unable to do an immediate walk through. Alice suggested that she could do a FaceTime walk through with us which was brillant. She took the time to get the walk through okayed right away and then drove through some pretty snowy weather to the house for our FaceTime appointment. We ended up putting a bid in on that house that morning and thank goodness for her quick thinking as other bids came in later that evening! Since then Alice has provided a wealth of information after our closing.

Thank you Alice for helping us fulfill our family's dreams of finding a home up north; it was a pleasure working with you.

Kathy Wittbrodt did an outstanding job of selling my parents home. She handled every detail so efficiently and made their lives (and mind) so much easier. We listed it mid-April and closed at the end of June and we couldn't be more pleased with the result. If you are looking for a Realtor that will represent you and your property with integrity and consideration, look no further than Kathy Wittbrodt. She came highly recommended and we couldn't agree more.

I just wanted to say a big Thank You for your good Realtor work as we tip toed through selling our home on Elk Lake. It wasn't the smoothest part of our transition project, but I hate to think what we would have done without you. Your wisdom, sensitivity, and persistence were clearly assets. Warm wishes for a fine future, a beautiful Autumn, and comfortable Winter.

Fondly,
