I am originally from Chicago ( a die
hard Cub fan), spent school years in Villanova, PA and have been in California
since 1974.
I understand the transition from
other parts of the country to California. I do understand that no matter how
beautiful your new home might be, it just isn't home...yet.

I take great pleasure in inventing many
ways, both tangible and intangible, to make my clients' transaction and
move as smooth as possible, whether the move is across the street, across the
continent, or across the globe.
I am dedicated to providing an
exceptional level of service for my clients by Combining Old Fashioned
Service and Integrity with Up-To-The-Minute Technology. The focus of my
business is to provide first class service for my clients and subsequent
referrals rather than spend my time aggressively marketing myself. This results
in a business singularly devoted to constantly improving the level of service
provided to my clients. I have also earned the following designations:
Previews Properties Specialist, Seniors Real Estate Specialist, and
President's Circle.
Seniors Real Estate Specialist!
Seniors who need advice about their homes and rental properties can turn to Kate Bransfield, a realtor with Coldwell Banker - Montana Avenue in Santa Monica. Bransfield, recently was awarded the Seniors Real Estate Specialist
professional designation by the Senior Advantage Real Estate Council in
Murphys, California. These specialists help seniors make wise decisions about
selling the family home, buying rental property, managing the capital gains and
estate tax implications of owning real estate, obtaining a reverse mortgage,
moving to a senior community and other issues. These specialists also work with
the SRE Council which tracks the special issues and needs of senior property
owners and provides education to realtors who make seniors an important focus
of their business. Last week, Bransfield earned the Prudential - California Realty Previews
Property Specialist designation, according to Mary Fran Murphy of Prudential - California Realty. In addition to a rigorous performance criteria, Bransfield had to
complete a prescribed certification course, designed specifically for marketing
luxury residential properties to affluent buyers worldwide.

Cosmetic Improvements >The Sniff Test The sense of smell is a powerful motivator. When prospective buyers walk into a house, they respond more positively if they smell freshly baking oatmeal cookies instead of the lingering odor of a household pet.
As the homeowner, you may not notice odors that visitors are aware of as soon as they walk in the door. When your house is for sale, ask a friend or neighbor to give it a "sniff test". If there are offensive odors in your home, how do you get rid of them?
There are a few simple solutions--giving the floors and walls a good scrubbing, using the old vanilla-on-the-light-bulb trick, plugging in an essential oil diffuser and throwing out the dog's special chair. You can temporarily declare your home a "no smoking" zone. You may need professional help for cleaning carpets and drapes or deodorizing walls and wood floors. Your real estate agent will be able to provide you with a list of cleaning services which can assist you in making your home
smell clean and fresh.
