Fantastic experience: We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Kate Despins!

She is incredibly knowledgeable, organized, responsive, and always on top of everything. What could have been such a stressful process felt surprisingly easy and stress-free because we always knew Kate had everything handled. Beyond being an incredible real estate agent, she is just a genuinely wonderful person. We started this process looking for an agent and ended it feeling like we had made a friend.

We will recommend Kate to anyone looking to buy or sell a home, and there is no question that we would use her again in the future. She is truly the best!

My Agent went above and beyond in the lengthy time we spent looking at house after house for years until we finally found one. She was persistent and on the ball and always had my best interest at mind. She treated me like family instead of a numbered client which hits home for someone like me. Thalia was determined to find me a house even when I felt like giving up. She boosted my confidence and spirit after each house that ended in disappointment.

Thalia is very dedicated to her trade and will do wonders for anyone who asks her to be their agent. Hands down the best experience for my first home. Highly recommended

She closed the deal and a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulder's I can't thank her enough for her assistance.

Fantastic experience: Thalia Cotrich-Brewer was the agent who represented us as buyers in our recent home purchase. We were purchasing the home from out of state and were unable to be present for any showings. Thalia understood our situation and did a great job of helping us feel comfortable making such a huge decision from so far away. She orchestrated virtual showings for us of the properties that we were interested in and spent countless hours driving across multiple counties to view the properties for us. She was very thorough in showing us around the properties through video calls and always knew just what to look out for. Unlike many other agents we encountered, Thalia is a genuine and kind person and we could tell she had only our best interests in mind. She also went above and beyond to help us find contractors and get quotes for work that needs to be done on our new home. She is an extremely honest person who you can fully put your trust in. She had our back every step of the way and helped guide and advise us to make sure we made the right decision. Even after the purchase she is still there for her clients with any questions or recommendations for contractors. We appreciate everything she did for us and continues to do for us and will work with her again when the opportunity arises. Thalia is the agent you want to represent you in your next real estate transaction!

Fantastic experience: We could not have asked for a better experience working with Thalia! As nervous first time home buyers, we had plenty of questions and so much to learn, and Thalia supported us and made us feel extremely comfortable every step of the way. Her knowledge, honesty, and dedication to finding clients their perfect home is unmatched! Thank you, Thalia, for helping us find our dream first home, and for making the process so seamless! We could not recommend Thalia Cotrich-Brewer more!

Fantastic experience: We met Kate Despins by chance when we decided to attend an open house “just for fun”. She turned out to be the best realtor we didn’t know we needed! It only took 2 months from “just looking” to moving into our new home, with Kate providing excellent guidance and communication during the entire process. She’ll work hard for you and you’ll have fun along the way. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kate to everyone looking to buy or sell a home!

Fantastic experience: Kate Despins made the experience of selling my mother’s house easy, painless, and I was never stressed. Kate went above and beyond to ensure that I understood the many parts of a house listing, showing and closing process. As the process proceeded, Kate answered all of my many questions and constantly stayed engaged in the sale. Kate closely monitored the area housing market, evaluated feedback received from the house showings and kept the house listing current. Kate was the driving force to remove an old red carpet in several rooms. Removing the old carpet exposed hardwood floors in great condition plus showed the quality of the house construction. Finally, Kate’s professionalism, knowledge, friendliness, energy, and attention to detail made my experience extraordinary.

Fantastic experience: What a wonderful Experience using this office..If ever anyone is in need of a realtor I highly recommend Kate Despin...She goes above and beyond for her clients..She was there for me every step of the way and always reassuring me it will be fine...AND IT WAS!!

She was incredibly easy to communicate with and extremely helpful. She brings a bright, energetic and positive attitude toward her work and my wife and I recommended working with Kate, whether you’re buying or selling.

Fantastic experience: Kate is pretty much the best! Not only is she willing to fight for her clients to make sure they get the best deal possible, she jumps through hoops to make sure they find their dreams house. I can’t even put into words how grateful we are for everything she did for us. She was so incredibly patient with me and my pickyness and willing to show us as many houses as she could until we found our dream house!

Fantastic experience: Realtor of the year I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude to Thalia Brewer for the fantastic job you did in selling my house. Your expertise and dedication made the process smooth and successful. I truly appreciate your hard work and support!

Fantastic experience: Let me tell you about my amazing realtor Kate Despins of Coldwell Banker Sexton. I had been living at my home for what one may think is a brief moment in time, six years. In those six years at the beach, which was within walking distance to everything, my parents also bought a place right next-door to me. The memories and attachments that built up inside my home, are priceless. My mother and I spent every day together, walking the beach, I put up a gazebo for her, which we soon nicknamed Momma’s beer tent. My mother, my best friend, was diagnosed with colon cancer in February 2022 and passed away in November 2023. Being able to spend so much time with my mother in a place she loved is magical and I’m so blessed to been afforded that opportunity. The decision to sell my home was a very hard one, probably one of the hardest decisions of my life. A home is not just four walls with a roof over it. I contacted my dear friend Kate to help me with the sale of my home. My mother had picked out many of the paint colors, more specifically a wallpaper backsplash with seashells, and a lighthouse mural. I was not mentally able to take these things down to appease other buyers in case it may not be something that they liked. Kate was very empathetic and very compassionate to my frail Mental state of mind when it concerned my mother and the sale of our spot. She not only listened to everything I had to say but she heard everything I said. She checked in on me, all while doing all of the facets of her profession. Her professionalism and dedication to not only get my house sold, but to find the right family for it is also priceless. I couldn’t have done this without her. She was my sounding board when I was having a rough day. This all happened so fast, and we had an offer the very first day of showing. To say it was an emotional roller coaster is definitely an understatement. She coached me through all the pros and cons and told me to keep the faith. We had multiple offers, and together we decided on the best new family for my home. To say that Kate and Coldwell Banker Sexton was a Godsend, is an understatement. Kate is extremely knowledgeable in her field and loves doing what she does! You can tell it’s not a job to her, like we’ve all been told, love what you do and you’ll never work a day in your life. Kates love and compassion for her field is definitely apparent in everything that she does. She goes way above and beyond the call of duty And will fight tooth and nail for you! Coldwell is blessed to have her and Kate is definitely blessed to be with a company that helps promote such values! I Know that when my father is ready to sell, she will be right there guiding him the same way she guided me. There are many emotions that go along with buying and selling a home. I only wish I could have brought her to Florida with me to help me with my transaction down here.

Fantastic experience: Thalia Cotrich Brewer was absolutely amazing to work with. I cannot recommend her high enough! She constantly goes above and beyond and made the home buying experience enjoyable. She was ALWAYS available and accommodating!

Fantastic experience: Huge thank you to our realtor Nick Cardillo from Coldwell Banker Sexton!!! If you are looking for someone to help you purchase a home who isn't pushy, accepts everything you're saying you want/need even if thst changes through the process, looks day and night at everything new going on the market and doesn't leave anything off the table, is a human tape measure (lol), answered all of our crazy questions, and just all around great realtor - give him a call! You will not be disappointed. He went above and beyond for us and he'll do the same for you!

Fantastic experience: Kate Despins showed us a variety of houses that were what we were looking for. She saved the best for last and it fit our every need and want. She was on top of everything throughout the entire process and provided us with much needed help and information. We couldn't be happier with her efforts. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Fantastic experience: We highly recommend Thalia Cotrich-Brewer based on our recent experience where she helped us purchase a home in Clinton. Her expertise, professionalism and responsiveness made the process very smooth for us even though we were out of state buyers and six hours behind the NY time zone.  Thalia is very thorough and the best advocate for her clients especially in challenging situations.  She went out of her way to promptly address any concerns or questions we had with outmost integrity and patience at all times. Even after we closed on our property, Thalia continued to assist us and be a wonderful resource.  We received an outstanding service and our dream home.

Fantastic experience: Kate Despins is absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to help me go from an unsafe situation to having a home for myself and my 3 boys. She not only listened to the situation but was supportive and optimistic, giving me hope when I was feeling hopeless. We looked at several places, some last minute until we found one that felt like home. Then she did everything she could to make sure things went quickly and smoothly. She even helped me to get furniture, apliances and bedding for when we moved in. She made the seemingly impossible and unknown reachable and safe. She rekindled my courage and determination. We are happy, healthy and safe now and we are still in love with our home!!! She was an absolute blessing!!

Fantastic experience: There really are no words for how I feel. Kate Despins is amazing! I sent my Dad to her because other realtors have let him down. I heard great things about her from previous clients. Nervous and hesitant because I’ve never worked with her personally but knowing other clients were raving about her, I put my trust in her. She found a house for him in a short time and closing wasn’t long after. She always was responsive and her customer service was superb! I am so happy that we found Kate and she helped my Dad find the perfect home!

Fantastic experience: Kate Despins was amazing every step of the way. She made this process so much easier and was available anytime I had a question or concern. I’d highly recommend her!

Fantastic experience: "Buying real estate can be tricky and downright stressful sometimes but Tara’s professionalism and expertise gives you confidence that you're making the right choice. She always asks the right questions, follows up on important details, and is on the ball from start to finish. In my view, there isn’t another agent who fights on behalf of their clients better than Tara, simply put she’s the quintessential real estate professional."

Fantastic experience: Tara D'Amico was amazing from start to finish. She's diligent, works hard to ensure your interests are represented in the transaction and made the whole process smooth and pain free. Definitely went above and beyond. I'm not sure what else you'd want from a Real Estate agent. Thanks Tara

Fantastic experience: This real estate company can definitely go the extra mile for you. Their agents are very nice and helpful. My fiancé and I were looking for a house for over a year and a half but not do to the lack of our realtor trying. Kate Despins was there that ENTIRE time from start to finish sending us places to look at and setting us up with viewings. She’s awesome. We even call her auntie Kate now cause she loves our little one so much.

Fantastic experience: I would like to thank Kate Despins for going above and beyond for my daughter’s family getting their new home . Kate is patient, kind etc. She makes you comfortable . I feel she is like a fantastic family member ♥️

Fantastic experience: We absolutely loved working with Kate Despins! She understood what we were looking for and was conscious of our budget.

Fantastic experience: Kate was an awesome realtor to work with when buying our first house! The process was easy as can be with her quick and ready to help attitude, as well as her attention to detail explaining everything so we understood. Thanks Kate!

Fantastic experience: Being a first time homebuyer I could not have ask for a better agent than Tara. She was very professional and hardworking. She was super kind and very responsive to all of my family members. I have and always will recommend Tara to all of my friends and colleagues.

Fantastic experience: Work with Tara Dmico was a great experience. I was a first time home buyer and was a little nervous about the whole process, but Tara assured me she would handle everything and all would go smoothly. She did just that a very smooth and painless process. I will be choosing Tara Dmico at Caldwell Banker Sexton for my next purchase

Fantastic experience: I’ve worked with Tara the last couple years now, through it all she’s been the most patient and hard-working. I couldn’t recommend Coldwell Banker Sexton Real Estate more. I’m finally in my home of my dreams and it’s all because of Tara and her dedication. Couldn’t be happier!

Fantastic experience: I do not posr reviews often. I am 74 and have probably posted three or four in my life. Extraordinary service excellence is rare. We are all much too familiar with our calls not answered, service providers who do not even "show up" at our homes after agreeing to and so on. I take the time today to share my experience with Mr. Martin (Marty) Horten, an agent at Coldwell Banker SEXTON Real Estate. Marty's professionalism, knowledge of the community, competence, reliability and personal engagement is unsurpassed in the community. I have been involved in the purchase and same of dozens of homes, in three states, including ten or more in the Mohawk Valley. I have dealt with fair, good, better and outstanding agents. Some agents seem better suited for a narrow "slice" of real estate deals, such as very expensive homes or "fixer-uppers." I think Martin could successfully help someone buy or sell any home. Marty sold a home for me in Utica, without our ever meeting face-to-face, while the house was vacant, over the course of winter. Mart managed small (snow needed to be removed) and major (needing to get all the plumbing replaced - which he got done in six days!) obstacles and actual crises with patience and calm. He returns EVERY phone call, text message or email. If you are a buyer or seller, especially if you are from outside the Mohawi Valley, you will not do better or be happier than trusting Mart Horten with your real estate needs. Finally, such constent excellence cannot happen in a vacuum. Marty is affiliated with Coldwell Banker SEXTON Real Estate because they share and support his high ethical and effect client approach at every step in the process. It may not be the biggest firm you can choose, but you will not find better. Anywhere.

Fantastic experience: Kate despins was fantastic. She knew my family and I had been looking for our forever home. She was there for us every step of the way. Constant updates on what was going on. I'd have to say Kate found the most perfect home for my family of 7! Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to making sure my kids all had their own rooms too! Definitely recommend Kate Despins for your home and happiness

Fantastic experience: This is the BEST place with the BEST people!

Fantastic experience: Kate Despins is possibly the best realtor in the area. She is knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and the definition of a go-getter. When we were first looking to buy, we had been using a different realtor. The first realtor really wasn’t getting us into houses to look at them, and was making excuses as to why we weren’t allowed to see them. We ended up stumbling into Kate and she was a life saver. Showing us every house we wanted to look at, and was very responsive to all our questions. If you’re looking for a realtor in the area, Call Kate! Thanks again Kate!

Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of working with Tara to purchase my first home from start to finish. Tara was professional and highly knowledgeable about the local market. She always took the time to explain everything into detail when I didn’t understand and made sure I did before making any decisions. Always made sure I was a priority. Both her and her husband went out of their way to ensure every detail was taken care of. I would highly recommend Tara D’Amico as your realtor!

Fantastic experience: Three years ago (2020) I was 26 years old and in the market for a house. I was referred to Joe McHarris at Coldwell Banker by a friend and he made the home buying experience so easy and smooth! I had no idea what I was doing or even how to go about buying a house but Joe was there every step of the way and showed me more houses than I’d have expected to look at and I am so happy he did. Joe did not let me buy just any house he made sure that I was going to buy the house that was perfect for me and my future and he succeeded. It’s been 3 years and I still absolutely love my house. Joe was very caring, patient and extremely helpful in both finding the perfect house and assisting me with finding a financial institution and being with me every step of the way until I closed. If you are in the market for a house and want somebody that truly cares, is willing to find that perfect house, is patient and understands how difficult the process can be for new buyers I highly suggest going to Coldwell Bankers in Clinton NY and speaking with Joe McHarris. He found me a house within an hour of it hitting the market and I was able to snag it! You will not regret it. 3 years later I still don’t!

He also has sold and found new houses for my 3 children. Don’t call anyone besides Joe McHarris!

Fantastic experience: A Review for Mary Combs I was recently tasked with selling my late brother’s home in New Hartford -- from afar, as I live in Providence, RI. No easy undertaking! My husband, who is a long-term realtor from our California days, agreed to help me find an agent in the area. We didn’t look long -- the minute we saw Mary Combs’ picture & reviewed her credentials online WE KNEW she was the one. We didn’t even interview anyone else. Our instincts proved to be spot-on! Mary is professional, attentive, personable, & caring. She acts fast, is always on top of the transaction, and she promises & delivers excellent results! She is top-notch & first-rate. The home sold fast & we are very grateful to Mary for making it happen! I highly recommend this superb realtor! Judith Brott

Fantastic experience: My wife and I worked with Marty Gorton at CB Sexton and had a great experience. Marty showed us many homes and helped us through the entire real estate process making it stress free.
