Debra, Brunswick

On January 28, 2019, we celebrated our fourth year in our house. Every time I see a Howard Hanna sign or advertisement, I still remember the wonderful performance Erin Knapp provided us. She made us feel so comfortable and confident that she was doing what was best for us. Four years later, we still thank her and your team for providing us our wonderful home.

Megan, Brook Park

I want to extend my deepest gratitude.  You went so far beyond the typical Realtor in helping me every step of the way through a very difficult sale.  Many thanks from all of us...

Stefani, Chagrin Falls

Erin Knapp and Kathryn Taylor are top notch! Erin's super straightforward honesty and get the job done style lends the perfect balance to Kathryn Taylor's Sweet and sophisticated demeanor. I recommend this powerhouse team to everyone I talk to. If you respect hard work and dedication, mixed with warm smiles and honest human kindness, look no further than the Kathryn Taylor team!

Scott & Letty, Bay Village

Kathy was amazing. We relocated from Missouri and did not know a soul here, nor anything about the various school systems our teenage son might attend. Kathy kindly introduced me to another mother, a personal friend of hers, so that we could gather the inside scoop on the school we had selected. Kathy also helped us through a very difficult closing.  We were distraught throughout the entire process, and Kathy helped us hold it together. After the close, Kathy was still on our team, offering a lovely welcome gift and providing contacts for much-needed services, such as a decorator so that we could find a place for all of our oversized Missouri furniture!

Grace, Bay Village

Kathy has been great!  She is easy to get a hold of, pleasant to work with, and very knowledgeable about the industry.

Kathy is wonderful to work with she makes selling less stressful she is always there for any questions. I highly recommend her to anyone whom is selling their home & wants to have success and less stress.

Matt & Zoe, Brook Park

Kathy Taylor is far beyond what to expect in a realtor. She truly cares for her clients and goes way above what I would have imagined someone doing for me during my process. Her professional experience in the market helped my wife and I find our home, but also I referred her to my brother and best friend. We all are truly blessed to have had her during the biggest purchases in our lives.

Alena & Leif, Vermilion

Kathy was incredibly helpful and honest during our entire house hunt. She really watched out for our best interests. Love her!

Laura & Joe, Medina

Kathy is amazing to work with!  I loved working with her 10 years ago when I purchased my home and we reconnected last fall to purchase a larger house and sell my existing house.  She has been extremely responsive and provided sound advice on both getting my house ready for sale and closing both transactions.

Louis, Avon Lake

Erin Knapp on the Kathryn Taylor team is just absolutely amazing. She really listened to our needs and worked hard to get us in the right home. Erin was always available to answer and questions and calm any concerns we had through the whole process. She really knows her stuff, and there is no one more fun to weed through houses with!
