3. I just wanted to thank youfor the letter regarding the house estimates in 1995 for my mom's
Mesa home. Her taxeshave been filed and all is done.
I also wanted to send youa heartfelt thank youfor helping us through a tough transition in the
selling of my mom's home. Some houses are just houses, but my mom's home meant so much more
to her children and grandchildren. It was a place the family and extendedfamily had journeyedover
59 years.
Your easy manner and patience was needed to manage our way through the emotional process. You
made us feel important. Thanks again and I hope for your further success. Barbara 4-16-15

Kathleen was a privilege to work with! I grew up in Santa Barbara, but have not livedthere in 50
years. My mother still did, and when it came time to sell her home, I am her executrix. Understand, I
have also a real estate broker for 40 years. Being in the same field but out of the area I was rather
picky as to the service I was to be provided. First I pulled up a few names fromthe CRS register
(Certified Residential Specialist), highly professional, experiencedagents with extraeducation and

4. training in our field. ThenI went into a local branchof a Title/EscrowCompany and ran 3 names by
them. Kathleen stood out above the rest. They were right - She alwaysresponded to me, returned my
calls and providedthe information requested. She stuck with us while we clearedthe house, disburse
heirlooms and had a garage sale. Evenafter helping us obtain an offer $50,000 over askingprice,
when our Buyersran into lender problems (the house needed work) and she was on vacation, she
had it covered, andmade it happen. Choose Kathleen - youwill be in good hands - she is the
best. Ara Croce 9-28-14
Kathleen - Helped me sell a home
We were selling the condo we had livedin for severalyearsbefore we movednorth. We had rented it
out for almost three yearsbefore we decidedto sell. Ms. Barnato did a great job navigating the
processfrompossibly selling to our rentersto listing on the open market and executingthe final sale.
It was complicatedin that the sale was contingent on two other transactions being executedin
parallel. And we as owners, were no longer living in the Santa Barbara area. Ms. Barnato executed
the contract, setting a winning price, arranging cooperationfromthe renter occupants, and in
general, dealing with all the complicatedpersonalities involved. Her expertise in the processand the
many good relationsshe has built up in the Santa Barbara real estate community all workedto her
advantage in getting this sale done. Steve
Kathleen has helped me in buying and selling two homes. She is the utmost professional, most
helpful and very knowledgeable. Inmy dealings with her I find that she goes far above what one
expectsin a real estate agent and I would callon her again if needed. - Kapriole
Kathleen is the most outstanding, dynamic realty professionalwe have ever known; in our buying
and selling (both houses and condos), she has consistently provedto be an exceptionalasset in
negotiating the complexitiesand realizing our goals in every transaction. Her astute advice,
amazingly nuanced market knowledge, proactive attentionto detail, and dispatch in servingall our
real estate needs makes her THE go-to realtor/broker. -Fullertonbear
Kathleen was proactive, informative, responsive, responsible andhonest. She answered our emails
and calls every day, without delay. She dealt with our silly as well as our difficult questions and had a
welcomed list of valuable and reliable resourcesto help with the many other aspectsof buying a
house. We recommendher very, veryhighly and will of course call her when we need a realtor again.

Kathleen was recommendedto me by a friend. I was a first time buyer and very nervousabout not
knowing enough to take care of myself through this big process.

5. Kathleen had all bases coveredat all times. She was right there with any information I needed,
pointed things out that couldbe problematic in the future, as well as the best ways to handle them.
Whenever we ran into something that needed to be handled she was present and extremely well
connected. Evenafter the sale went through she periodically checkedonme and helped solved
problems immediately and without hesitation.
What I most appreciatedwas how safe I felt though the entire process. I remember when I went to
sign my paperwork at the title company and the personI was working with there told me how
impressed she was with Kathleen and that she felt that Kathleen would stand up for each of her
clients. I liked hearing that because it affirmedwhat I was already feeling.
There'sa lot to be said about experience, whichKathleen undeniably has an abundance of. But
character and integrity matter just as much. That is why I feel confident in recommending her
services.
Good luck with your process! - Chanti Wunderlich

evenfrustrating experience for me, being so far away, with so much work to be done to get the house

"My clients and I searched the RE/MAX.comwebsite and found a cute little cottage-style home on
StanfordPlace. The listing belonged to Kathleen Barnato of Prudential California Realty. Since
Kathleen knew that I was not a Realtor fromthe area, she was thorough in educating me and my
clients about the home's surrounding neighborhoods, schools, and other important features. From
our first meeting all the way through the close of escrow, Kathleen was very professionaland
courteous. Andonce we closedescrowon my clients' home, Kathleen was also very helpfulwhen it
came to referringseveralgreat contractors. Inthe future, I would definitely recommendKathleen to
anyone I know who may need real estate servicesin the SantaBarbara area." --Yvonne Huang,
Realtor

- Cathy O
Many thanks again for the fine job youdid in handling the sale of our property...your responsiveness
to our many requests regarding the handling of the sale went far beyondwhat one couldreasonably
rexpect fromone's realtor. Needlessto say, we will want youto handle the sale of future properties!
- Dr. and Mrs. James O'Roark

7. Kathleen was very patient, explaining in detail the intricaciesof the selling process, and why each
step she took needed to be done. She always suggested, rather than insisted and was extremely tacful
and sensitive, not only with me but also with agents and clients. Her training as a teacher was
evident...I hope yourealize what a gem of a sales agent youhave in Kathleen. - A satisfied seller -
