Intero Real Estate Livermore

Amazing person to work with

Being a mortgage professional I obviously have a lot of Realtor relationships. Victoria is definitely someone I would recommend. She is always bubbly, energetic and constantly working to refine her skills and knowledge. You can't go wrong working with Victoria!

If you're looking for someone who is educated, patient, kind, loving, respectful, diligent, & consistent, then you're looking for Victoria (Vika) Kafovalu! My husband and I had been thinking about buying a home for almost 3 years, but we were skeptical about who to work with, who to trust, or who to take advice from. We had no idea where to start, but we knew we had to start somewhere. In 2019 after our first child was born, we started to pay debt off and get ourselves in a better financial place. We found out we were expecting our second child in 2020, and our second babygirl was born Sept. 2021. Living with family is always so convenient but when it comes to the future of our babies, we had to move quickly with our plan to buy a home. I came across an advertisement about an open house that Victoria was hosting and had a ton of questions to ask her about how we should get the ball rolling. We talked for hours about some potential next steps, and the rest is history. One conversation with her lead into networking with a loan officer, Celia with TCS mortgage, and after my husband and I were pre-approved, our home shopping followed. It was overwhelming, it was intense, and it was a lot of work carrying around two kids in about 100 degree weather walking through such beautiful 2 story homes.

Victoria brought a cooler of iced cold water, and cereal bars for the journey, which we appreciated so much because we were not prepared for this heat. We visited 10 homes with her on our first home shopping visit, and the second time we visited 3 homes.

Our second home shopping with her was IT for us. The house we purchased was the last house we visited the second time around. A fresh 2022 brand new home in a wonderful gated community; a 2 story, 4 bedroom, 3 full bathrooms, large garage and backyard; the perfect home to raise our beautiful babygirls in.

Victoria may have been new to the real estate industry, but she was not new when it came to serving others. She was not new at showing hospitality when it came to taking care of the needs of her clients. I recommend her to anyone who would like to rest at night knowing that they're in the perfect set of hands.

Victoria you're a blessing, you're a God-sent, and I know exactly why we could not purchase a home 2-3 years ago. God knew exactly what he was doing when he had us wait on him. We waited to work with one of the best realtors out here in the game. May God continue to bless you and your family! You are appreciated! Love, Jonathan, Lina, Thea-Lynn, & Maria-Rose Kaulave.

From the moment we met Juan at an open house we knew we were in good hands. Juan and his team went above and beyond for us from start to finish AND after! Juan made sure we understood absolutely everything that was going on behind the scenes, sending updates and kind “check ins.” We had our heart set on the property, the address having significance to us as we in our hearts knew it was a message from a loved one who recently completed her earthy journey. We shared this with Juan and he was so compassionate and determined to get us in the home. HE DID IT and so much more! We are so grateful to have worked with Juan and even more grateful to know that he is still available for us if we have any questions or concerns. Thank you SO much Team Barragan!

We were very happy with Victoria Kafavalu
We would be very happy to recommend her to all our friends
She was very hard-working person.

Great job! Look forward to working with you again :-)

Juan went above and beyond with our expectations of the experience we had in mind of being first time homebuyers. Him and his team helped us have a fast and smooth transition. For sure a blessing to work with Juan and his team!! Thank you Juan!

Juan was thorough and transparent throughout our home buying process. He answered all our phone calls, texts, and e-mails promptly. Kept us informed and up to date on any developments. He was very thorough on going over any documents we needed assistance with. Overall he made us feel comfortable and like family. I highly recommend Juan and his team for your real estate needs.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Rosemary on three separate property deals, and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again. She is a truly remarkable professional who knows the market inside and out and brings a high level of integrity, experience, and professionalism to everything she does.

One of the things I value most about her is how much I can trust her. I’ve felt completely comfortable delegating important tasks to her, knowing she always has my best interests at heart. She commits fully to the process and consistently overdelivers—whether it’s guiding you through legal documents, helping coordinate repairs, negotiating pricing, or coming up with creative solutions for property repairs.

She’s not just a realtor—she’s a partner you can rely on from start to finish. If you’re looking for someone who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and truly invested in your success, I can’t recommend Rosemary highly enough.

Kathleen was excellent to work with. She made learning about the home buying process simple and easy to understand. Her understanding of loan finance was beneficial.

Our experience with Kathleen was excellent. As shown by the 5 star rating her responsiveness and negotiation skills were superb. She was always available and got back to us on our questions right away. As far as the negotiation skills it was nice to know we had a strong partner on hand for this. We were very happy with the above offer selling price that we ended up with. She is also a problem solver and was able to help out and minimize delay time when there was a snag on the buyer's side with their loan. This was our first time selling a home in over 27 years so we were somewhat unfamiliar with the process and she certainly had all the answers for us and made the overall process quite easy. I would highly recommend her services.

Very knowledgeable, easy to get ahold of. Always returned calls promptly. Answered all questions and kept us updated every step of the way. I would highly recommend her.

Kathleen is very professional and hard working. Great team player with great communication skill. I will recommender her anytime.. Thank you for everything and can't wait to keep working with you in the future.

Kathleen was great from the start. Very knowledgeable and honest about each property she showed us and flexible with our schedule. Since we are from out of the area and not available in person her detailed videos of the properties were very helpful. She also assisted us after the purchase with recommendations and getting things taken care of on the house. Very pleasant working with her.

In our Brentwood property search, Kathleen was sensitive to our needs, prompt, professional, and answered (or found the answers) to all of our questions. Kathleen's exceptional expertise in negotiation were evident on the initial offer and instrumental in keeping the transaction on track when inspection issues arose. In addition, we appreciate her post-closing support in which she ensured a tidy turnover and provided trusted trade references for necessary repairs/updates. In summary, Kathleen is a highly competent, trustworthy, amicable, and down to earth agent and would we not hesitate to engage her again.

Kathleen,
I just wanted to take a moment to recognize the incredible work you did for me and my family again.. that you just recently finished.
Your dedication, attention to detail, and hard work ,truly sets you apart.
The impact you’ve made on us, has been remarkable, and it’s clear that you’ve gone above and beyond.
Your efforts haven’t gone unnoticed, and I want to personally thank you for everything you’ve done for my family and I to get us to this point it’s hard selling your family home and all the emotions that come with that. THANK YOU !!! For making easier for us. Keep up the amazing work—you’re making a real difference, and we’re lucky to have you as a true professional in your field,and a close friend .!!!

I sold my house in El Sobrante, California. Kathleen Craig was my listing agent. I bought my house many years ago and I was told that I need to do upgrades to comply with current building codes. Kathleen Craig has great team of contractors, staging designers, and landscapers. Kathleen Craig and contractors came up with the plan what needs to be done to make house look spectacular. I needed to install new front yard , upgrade and clean back yard, and do a few upgrades to comply with new building codes. I was surprised when Kathleen told me that we will go on the market in two weeks. I thought it will take a few months to get it done. In two weeks, front yard looked spectacular, back yard looked spectacular, upgrades were done , staging was done and photo shoot was done. My house looked spectacular inside and outside. Online presentation looked breathtaking. After my house got on multiple listing, Kathleen was doing open houses. My house got multiple offers and Kathleen managed bidding war above my expectation. My house was sold at highest price in the history of my neighborhood. I had goodbye party and many neighbors came to congratulate me with successful sale. Kathleen Craig is simply the best of the best. Her knowledge of real estate business and professionalism make house selling process very smooth. I will always recommend Kathleen Craig to my friends. I was so lucky to find her."

Kathleen has been more than our agent. She educated us on the various steps to home owning. She guided us through all the steps, what to expect and her knowledge on mortgages is awesome, having been in the field herself. She set everything up and followed up with all the parties and got all the information that we needed. She even has a timeline chart which helps with a lot of planning. She has a good mix of technology up her sleeve with bots letting us know real estate trends. I am so glad to be working with her and I will continue to work with her

My family and I had the fortunate pleasure of working with Kathleen when it came time to sell our mother’s home. Her extensive knowledge and skill in the real estate realm enabled our family to sell the house in record time and for well over our asking price. But even more important to us was her understanding that it was much more than a simple house that we were selling. It was our mother’s HOME. Her compassionate handling of this difficult decision was and will always be much appreciated. You simply can’t go wrong with Kathleen.

Kathleen, I just want to put it out there you are cut above in the real estate game. I want to say this was one my best experiences working with an agent, that really loves working for the buyer. If I had any questions or needed anything, Kathleen was on it right away. I thank you for everything. We love are wonderful home. If you need a house call Kathleen she will get the job done!

I have used several realtors over the years, but Kathleen is by far the best one I have worked with. She is very patient and understanding of what needs to happen as well as what the customer wants. Every time I called Kathleen to discuss potential homes or changes I wanted to make she took the time to talk with me. If she didn't answer the phone she would call back minutes later. Kathleen made the entire buying process easy and carefree. I can't recommend Kathleen enough. When I'm ready to sell my current house and buy a new one, I will without a doubt use Kathleen again. She's the best.

Working with Kathleen has been a dream. After my mom passed, the daunting task of selling my lifelong home seemed like a mountain I had to climb, alone. I couldn’t have imagined it being simple, but with Kathleen’s expertise it was seamless and straightforward. I am so grateful for her knowledge and expertise, she delivered on every promise, deadline, and best of all we received multiple offers over asking price. It was a bittersweet moment parting with this home, and I wouldn’t have trusted anyone else to walk me through this process.

Our real estate agent, Kathleen, did an outstanding job from start to finish with our home purchase. She is a down-to-earth person that goes the extra mile to make sure her client gets what they seek out for. We felt she understood what we were looking for and what our conditions were and accomodated that for us. We did not want an overbearing agent or someone who did not listen to our concerns, which we had experience prior to meeting Kathleen. Kathleen has a vast knowledge of real estate including many years of experience which really shows when she discusses home options and details with her clients. We feel fortunate to have found Kathleen as our agent and we look forward to doing any real estate listings with her in the future, knowing that we will be in great hands.

When it came time to purchase a new home, selecting the right realtor can be a daunting task. Lucky for me, I had the absolute pleasure of dealing with Kathleen for the sale of my previous home. It was a no brainer that she would be the one to help me find what I hoped to be my forever home. Upon our initial conversation of must haves, Kathleen was more than attentive and even made a few extra suggestions that I had overlooked. I appreciated that she didn’t waist anyone’s time showing homes that didn’t fit my strict criteria. Within a few short weeks we had found the perfect house and the negotiations began. [Enter Kathleen-“Master Negotiator”]. Kathleen worked endlessly to ensure the transaction was smooth and stress free. When working with Kathleen you not only get her undivided attention (she makes you feel as though you are her sole priority), you also get the benefits of her endless list of (highly vetted) industry contacts who treat you with the same level of detail and respect. No question too small, no ask too big, Kathleen is the only person for the job. Thanks again Kathleen! We absolutely love our new home.

I can't speak highly enough of Kathleen as our real estate agent. Her professionalism, knowledge, passion for what she does, and hard work ethics are very much appreciated. As a first-time homebuyer, Kathleen walked us through the process and explained in detail our very first contract, and answered all our questions. The process went so smooth and she was an absolute pleasure to work with. Kathleen comes highly recommended.
