What our sellers say about us

Katie and Piers shepherded us through the process of getting our home ready for its next family. Katie was always available to guide us through the process with attentiveness, hard work and professionalism.  We’re so grateful for the skill and commitment she brought to our relocation. Her knowledge and love of the area was invaluable both in assessing the market and finding a buyer, making the transition as seamless as we could’ve hoped for. A true Takoma Park treasure!

Katie and Piers sold my house in Takoma Park in Fall 2024.  Very professional, very attentive to my goals, set realistic expectations, did thoughtful marketing.  House sold quickly and for more than I expected with requested terms.  Thanks also to her great teammates: Pablo for plumbing, Carlos for repairs, I&J and Zohra and team for cleaning, Sandy for staging, Mario for yard cleanup.  Highly recommended.

Katie was a WONDERFUL person to deal with. Extremely flexible and had a lot of great industry connections to get my mom's house in Takoma Park ready for sale. The staging was so on point. We definitely maximized the sales price. Any issues that arose were quickly addressed. Thanks Katie!

I can't say enough good things about Katie. We interviewed several agents, but we knew right away that she was the right one for us. I could go on about her knowledge of the Takoma Park market, her attention to detail, her contacts, and her optimistic determination. But the thing that makes Katie stand out is the fact that she helped us manage the entire process, from beginning to end, including the move. She understands that buying and selling houses is not just a business transaction. It is a major life event filled with emotion and apprehension. It has been several months since we sold our home in Takoma Park and left the area and she still keeps in touch. When you enlist Katie, you get more than a top notch real estate agent. You also gain a friend.

We recently worked with Katie to sell our Takoma Park home. She was beyond amazing. We interviewed many other agents and when we met her, we knew she was the one. Takoma is a very unique area so we really wanted someone who knew the area intimately and had experience with the Takoma market and Katie was the perfect fit. She was very patient with us and was very hands on throughout the whole process. She truly went above and beyond and all her hard work paid off. We got multiple offers and our house sold very quickly. We cannot recommend her enough. Thank you Katie!

Katie is the best real estate agent I have ever worked with. She is extremely thorough and detail-oriented. She's sensitive to questions and concerns. She solved problems at every step of the way, and knew exactly who to reach out to and how to proceed. She successfully negotiated the sale of our house at far above asking price and she kept us focused when we struggled with seller's fatigue. Highly, highly recommend. You can't go wrong with Katie Bocock.

We highly recommend Katie. She has endless patience, boundless energy, and as a DC native and MD resident knows this area like the back of her hand. Not only did she help us to buy a new house, she helped us get our existing home ready to sell and marketed within Compass quickly and painlessly. We closed on the two homes within days of each other. She's the kind of agent that carries good humor and knowledge in one pocket, and a screwdriver in the other –  the kind of agent you want in your corner.

Thank you doesn't really express how much we appreciated your help in selling our home. Please know that your professionalism, expertise, and guidance along the way did not go unnoticed. We could not be happier that we chose you [Susan] to be our Real Estate Agent. During the entire process you kept us informed and encouraged. Additionally, your caring spirit and attention to detail-including to our personal needs-surpassed our expectations.

Katie did a great job listing, marketing, and selling our house in Silver Spring. We were pleased with the results. She was easy to work with. She listened to our ideas concerning the sale and made recommendations that fit with our needs and that were reasonable without going to great expense. She arranged for painters and minor repair work, and she staged the house for sale. She knew the best time to get the house on the market, and we accepted a bid after it had been listed for only a couple of days. Katie was knowledgeable, polite, and professional – a great sales agent.ur investment property. Our property management services include tenant screening, rent collection, maintenance and repairs, and more.

We want to commend and recommend Katie Bocock of Compass Realty for her extraordinary work in the recent sale of our home and our search for a new place in which to downsize. While there is now much real estate advertising regarding sales of your home by companies emphasizing no up front requirements, there remains a large benefit in using a traditional, but modern, real estate agent like Katie. She has all the capabilities regarding quick and efficient sales because of her extensive access to a network of potential buyers and properties nationwide. She utilizes all modern technologies regarding marketing, including virtual and promotional abilities. But, on top of that, Katie provides substantial services beyond the sales process. There can be a myriad of personal activities needed to help buyers and sellers successfully complete a real estate transaction. Katie embodies all of the above. She works tirelessly and positively to handle every little issue that needs addressing, whether selling, buying or moving. In our situation, Katie engaged Compass' systems and network of agents in assessing the sales viability, pricing and logistics of selling our 135 year old house in Potomac, MD. Her assessment was precise and, with her network of colleagues, a buyer was found in days, at the price she suggested. While that was worth the use of Katie's assessment and skills in itself, the real work from Katie continued for the next six weeks. She provided constant advice and physical help in organizing the logistics involved in moving 35 years of life from having lived in the home. She searched diligently and successfully to find our new house in Silver Spring, MD. Throughout the whole downsizing process, Katie reviewed and helped with the technical sales process and, on a moment's notice, provided whatever logistical assistance was needed - at any time of the week or day.

Upon inheriting the job of Executor to my Mother's estate, I consulted with Katie on steps to take to liquidate her real-estate holdings. Katie's knowledge and expertise were right on point on how to proceed, what to expect, and the measures I would need to undertake to accomplish the daunting tasks ahead of me. Not only did she sell all of the properties in a timely and professional fashion, she went far above and beyond her duties as a Realtor. Katie's personal touch was very much appreciated as she did A LOT of hand holding throughout the difficult and emotional task of liquidating my mother's estate, attending to our family's grieving process, and providing the gentle nudges needed sometimes to push me through a task I did not want to do or to meet a deadline.  If that were not enough, on many occasions, I would find Katie weeding the garden of a property, cleaning out a cupboard before a showing, or hauling a load of donations to a local charity.  Katie's behind the scenes efforts were exemplary. She was always able to find the right contractor, handyman, or professional to attend to whatever the property needed. Her wealth of knowledge, and seemingly endless pool of resources, were invaluable to the process of liquidating the Estate.  On top of all this, Katie was able to manage multiple tough negotiations with transparency, navigate our family dynamics (often with opposing opinions),  as well as remaining collaborative throughout the entire selling process.  Like many people, I had no experience in dealing with the overwhelming duties as Executor of an Estate, and without Katie I would have been really lost.  Not only do I appreciate all the work she did for my family, I found that her style, a perfect balance of professionalism (organization, efficiency, detail oriented) and personal touch, to be absolutely essential and the exact prescription needed. Thank you Katie!!!!!!!

I want to reiterate how much Sara and I appreciated all the work [Susan] did for us to help us get the Greenbelt property sold. I have bought and sold a few houses over the years, and never have we received the support from a Realtor that you provided! I know that the people who engage you as their Realtor will be receiving top notch support.
