"I’ve worked with Jason several times purchasing homes but recently I sold a property and bought a property at the same time so I worked with Jason and Katrena and they both were lovely! Excellent job really easy to work with gave superb suggestions that worked! I would definitely recommend and work with them again! Cheers!"

"Katrena was fantastic from start to finish. Not only did she sell our property for the amount we had hoped for, but she really worked hard on the presale process. I do not live in the area and she managed the process from start to finish. She helped untangle an unexpected title issue and recommended competent legal advisors. She recommended economic improvements on the home to maximize profit. She also managed the team that helped us make updates. Once the home was ready to sell, her marketing and sales strategy proved to be very effective and achieved the results we had hoped for. We hired Katrena based on her experience in the area. I highly recommend working with Katrena, she is professional, knowledgeable, experienced, ethical, and kind."

"Katrena Prior with Maddox Realty was recommended to me by a coworker that had nothing but good things to say about her. After meeting her I knew she was the right person for the job in aiding my brother and me through the process of selling our father's home as he had to move into a care home due to medical issues. I couldn’t agree more with my coworker after the full process of getting the house on the market and sold in a very timely matter. As soon as she saw the house she had a vision and a full plan on how to market it from what should be done to it to make it appealing to show to potential buyers, getting the inspections completed, and how to market it with a planned timeline. Everything was seamless and pretty much on schedule. She takes her job seriously and is very professional about it but at the same time, she is very personal sondeal with and treats your family and home as if it were parts of hers. I would definitely recommend to anyone to consider her to help market or buy your next home."

"Katrena represented us as a buyer's agent and we had a great experience. She's knowledgeable, quick to respond, and does a great job explaining the process to first-time home buyers. We'd highly recommend her!"

"Do yourself a favor and stop looking. I highly doubt you will find an agent better than Katrena Prior. Initial Impressions I first met Katrena in person when she was helping my parents look for a new place. She had already earned a very favorable opinion from them, and they are not easy to please. I was tagging along to offer my viewpoint to my parents and while chatting casually to Katrena, I mentioned that we would soon be selling our home and buying elsewhere. Any other agent in the world would have asked if we had representation (which we didn’t) and pushed their card into my hands. Not Katrena. She was there for my parents, not herself, so her focus remained firmly on the task at hand. This focus on her clients' needs became a dominant theme throughout our relationship with Katrena. I watched from the sidelines as she quarterbacked two very smooth transactions, first selling my parents’ home and then helping them buy another. They got more than they had hoped when they sold and a fair price for their new place without getting into a bidding war. Our Experience When it came time for us to sell our home and buy a new one, Katrena was the obvious first stop. Here are the things that stand out about Katrena... • Communication — She is easy to talk to, explains things clearly and concisely, and sets detailed and realistic expectations every step of the way. • Client-Centric — She truly has your best interest at heart and isn’t hesitant about declining an offer or walking away from a showing that doesn’t meet your bar. • Dedication — She will work her butt off for you day and night to get the best deal. I mean it. She has replied to our emails and texts at almost every hour of every day, including holidays! • Network — Her Rolodex is packed with all sorts of fantastic vendors from gardeners to stagers to painters to cleaners. Everyone she recommended was top-notch. She even shopped for additional quotes unprompted and saved us significant money. • Negotiation Skills — She is a truly gifted negotiator and has a knack for reading people. She got us way (I mean WAY) more than we had hoped for our home and then turned around and helped us get the perfect place for a very competitive price. Some might argue this was luck, but she’s now four-for-four between my parents and us. As she puts it, she didn’t make the rules, but she knows how to play the game. Final Thoughts The relationship goes way beyond the sale or purchase. She is happy and willing to provide ongoing support if you ever need a vendor recommendation or advice about the home. It’s truly like having a friend who’s a realtor that you can always reach out to for suggestions. Needless to say, we will be calling Katrena first if we ever sell our home. However, we are so happy with our new home that I suspect she will sadly be long retired by the time we require her services again."

"Katrena Prior was an exceptional real estate agent for my fiancé and I! As young first time homebuyers, Katrena walked us through every step of the way and was very knowledgeable about the entire process and the local area. She kept in constant communication with us and was very professional and friendly. She helped us find our dream home and we couldn't be happier with our experience with Katrena and Maddox Real Estate/RealtyONE Group."

"Katrena is an awesome agent, she went above an beyond, my family's expectations. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who's thinking about buying or selling a home, she's helped my family with both, on two separate occasions. 5 Stars all across the board. She's like family at this point. Would highly recommend Katrina any day of the week. Thank you Katrena for all that you done for me and my family."

"I was able to work with Katrena back in 2019 when the housing market was much calmer and was able to purchase my home with no significant issues. Fast forward to 2023, with this volatile and unpredictable market, Katrena helped my partner and I sell that home but also secure an offer for a dream home in Vacaville. The process was intense and emotionally draining, so many unpredictable factors got sent our way, my partner and I were thrust into unfamiliar and intense situations regarding navigating this experience while working full time. Katrena was there every step of the way and provided hands on guidance to work through challenges and pitfalls. As someone who struggles with anxiety, I do not like when elements are completely outside of my control. Unfortunately, the housing market does not care about my feelings, and so there were many times when we would look to Katrena for help and assistance with selling, securing an offer, finding prospective buyers and navigating through multiple open houses. I can confidently say, looking back on it, that Katrena was a pillar of trust and support for both myself and my partner. She answered our questions without judgement, she celebrated our wins with us and she picked up the pieces when we felt drained and disappointed. This housing market will not always be consistent or stable, but you can find a realtor who is. Thank you so much Katrena for your ongoing support."

"We were extremely lucky to pick Katrena as our real estate agent. She accomplished the sale of our existing property and the purchase of a new one with great skill and professionalism. Although she has many attributes which make her great at her job, I think the thing that impressed us most was the way she always listened to us. Although she is extremely knowledgeable about the buying and selling process and about the local area, she always wanted the decisions to be ours. If you need someone to represent you in the sale of your home or to help you find and secure a new one, we can unreservedly recommend Katrena."

"Katrena was the best realtor. My family has been trying to buy a house for about 3 yrs and all the realtors we spoke to didn’t know how to help us. Katrena knew exactly how to approach our situation. She was very responsive, really knowledgeable and knows how to negotiate. She will fight until the end to get you what you deserve. Katrena and her team are the best."

"I purchased my 1st home on September 23,2019. My agent was Katrena Prior and she was amazing from start to finish. She listened to my wants and needs with my home. She drove me to each and every place I wanted to see from as far as Vallejo to Hercules. I brought a condo in Hercules and am delighted with my choice. And if I sell at anytime I would be reaching out to Katrena again."

"Katrena recently helped us sell a home that my sister and I inherited from our aunt in Pinole Valley. I cannot say how fortunate we were in finding Katrena through a recommendation from my aunt's friend and neighbor. After interviewing another highly rated agent, my husband and I felt that Katrena was the right fit for us and have not regretted that decision to this day. Katrena is a "can do" person who remained a positive force throughout the prepping, showing and closing the sale. She was always reachable via text, phone or email - at all hours of the day, 7 days a week. And every response was timely, concise and accurate. She had an amazing list of referrals for every type of repair or service (including inspections) we needed to get the house ready for sale. Since we did not live in the immediate area, she met the workers to allow them access and checked their work upon completion. If she didn't have a referral or was not happy with a quote, she researched and found a better one. She was always "hands on" and sent us photos as each service was completed. With her years of experience, she knew exactly what needed to be done with the house to show it at its best. Her knowledge of all facets of the selling process including the best lenders to work with and the timeline of the escrow process reduced stress and worries along the way. Her sale strategy brought in many offers over asking and she walked us through the top three offers explaining the pros and cons of each. When someone provides a service beyond your expectations, that person needs to be acknowledged. There are very few people or services that we would recommend without reservation. Katrena is definitely on our A-list. Thank you Katrena!"

"I live in Texas, and my brother unexpectedly passed away in California without a will. I had to assist my 89 mother in California with dealing with his affairs from afar due to COVID. The property needed major remodeling, while it also needed to go through probate. Katrena was recommended by a Real Estate Broker friend of mine, and I could not have been more impressed with her performance. She assisted us with everything from recommending home repairs to staging. She has a very kind and caring disposition and works hard for you. I previously worked in the banking and Real Estate industry for 15 years. Katrena hands down has been the best Realtor I have ever worked with."

"Happy Beyond 5 Stars!! I got no words to express how lucky I am about having had Katrena as my real estate agent. I recently had a property that Katrena helped me to get sold. The sale of this house was going to be very challenging due to many factors in place. However, Katrena welcomed this challenge from the very beginning and made me feel that she was unstoppable. During the process Katrena show confidence, mastery on her profession, patience when dealing with me as a client and with any potential buyers that she contacted during the sale of this property. Katrena brought with her excellent negotiation skills and overall what anyone could expect from a true professional in this business. I will be selling another property soon and I know that I don't have to look any further. Katrena will have my business on this one too, she is a great business woman and also a very honest and genuine person. If you are looking for a good realtor you don't need to look further she has an excellent set of skills on her that will help you get any real estate job done. I am a very happy client of hers!"

"My buying experience with Katrena was awesome. She was very, honest knowledgeable, personable, and most important of all easy to work with. Katrena took the time to get to know what was most important to my daughter and I while purchasing our home. Selecting a Realtor is not an easy decision, and determining who you can trust to guide you through the process is often stressful, not the case with Katrena! I would recommend her to my friends and family. I've actually recommended her to my younger brother who is gong to be a first time home buyer later this year. Knowing she had my best interest in mind, effectively negotiated to secure my home and guided me effectively through the buying process, makes me feel confident in recommending her to anyone."

"Katrena is a rockstar realtor! I feel so fortunate to have had her guide us through our home buying experience. From beginning to end she made the process quick, clear, and simple for us as first time home buyers. She was patient with us in explaining everything ahead of time, giving us the breakdown of next steps, and gave us great advice so that our offer was accepted. I felt like she was our biggest advocate and was always looking out for our best interest 100%. Now we own our dream home! Katrina was so kind and thoughtful, she even made us a personalized picture and put decorations on the fireplace mantel so when we got the keys and walked inside for the first time, we felt like we were already home. She has been kind and thoughtful, I feel so blessed to have found her. This process was so blissful and full of joy and excitement because we trusted her and her team, we were as stress free as humanly possible! I would recommend Katrena and her mortgage broker team at Homebridge to anyone who is looking for a truly personal experience that is seamless from start to finish! Thank you Katrena!"

"STOP AND READ! VERY IMPORTANT! Now that I've got your attention, Katrena Prior is the truly a real estate guru. She was highly recommended to us. Katrena has extensive knowledge about the market, it's trends, and has worked miracles on our behalf. Our family has waited 14 years to buy a home in the Bay Area. Once we were ready to purchase, we were on a mission to chose the right person for us, not just an agent with the most experience. Chemistry was important! Throughout the process Katrena proved that she had our best interest at heart. Her negotiation skills are phenomenal and she provided adequate and sufficient support. Give her a call. You won't regret it!"

"My husband and I moved to California from another state and after researching realtors online and reading reviews, we chose to work with Katrena Prior. We were impressed by her professionalism and her knowledge of the real estate market in and around Pinole. Being newbies to the California real estate scene, Katrena's guidance helped us find a home that met our needs. Her negotiating skills also helped us navigate successfully a very competitive situation, arrange local financing and we now have our first choice home."

"I'm a first time home-owner. I embarked on this experience with no prior knowledge of the nuances or complexities of this business. Katrena was recommended to me by a former roommate, so I was hopeful that she could help me as I make this massive decision. From the get-go, Katrena was warm, friendly and containing. She walked me through the process step by step and was incredibly patient and kind. I would contact her until the late hours of the evening sometimes, hitting her with a barrage of ridiculous questions and she would answer all of them. Because of her expertise and knowledge, I was able to secure a wonderful property that I adore. I highly recommend her to any home buyer or seller. She is a great real estate agent!"

"Katrena is an absolute pro. She made this transaction so easy for us and kept us informed every step of the way. I trust Katrena from her suggestion of paint colors all the way to purchasing a home! She is knowledgeable and can answer any question you may have. I will be recommending her to family and friends for sure."

"We were very impressed with Katrena's ability to patiently go through the sequence of upcoming events with us to reduce our home-buyer anxiety. Her communication style makes her a pleasure to work with! She is quick to respond to calls and emails and has a great sense of humor. She never seems to give up, and we were particularly demanding due to our handicap assessibility requirements. Ultimately, Katrena displayed the negotiating finesse needed to help us acquire the house we desired. Our home loan lender appreciated Katrena's skills so much, that she asked for Katrena's help to find a house to buy, which she did very successfully, also. If we need to do it again, Katrena will be the one!"

"Katrena was an amazing realtor to work with. She was very responsive and worked hard to close the deal on our house quickly. This is the 3rd house we’ve bought, and she was the most reliable realtor we’ve worked with. I would recommend her to anyone!"

"I was looking for a new home in Hercules and was dealing with some agents that were not really helping me a lot. So I asked my loan agent for some assistance regarding real estate agents in my area. He recommended Katrena Prior. Which turned out to be the best recommendation ever! From day 1 of introduction, Katrena was very professional, knowledgeable and helpful. Katrena found me a property within 20 days and negotiated a price under the market price due to some minor repairs. She was great and fantastic! Katrena is an agent that will always put the client first. I would definitely recommend her to any and everyone who wants to do any kind of real estate buying, selling, renting or etc... Katrena is truly the best agent I have ever dealt with!"

"Buying a house is always hard and chaotic. With Katrena, she made the process and experience bearable for me. She was always available and took care of stuff immediately. I definitely recommend her as a realtor."

"If you are looking to purchase a home in the Hercules / Pinole area then I highly recommend Katerna. We found her to be immensely knowledgeable about the area and provided a lot of great insights that I believe help us find the right home for my family and needs. I found her to be very honest and felt that she really went out of her way to help us....she was a true partner in our home buying journey. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, hard working, sincere, and honest real-estate agent you should consider Katrena."

"As a first time home buyer I was wary of real estate agents. I had been warned about manipulation, say anything to make a sale, etc. However this was not my experience. I saw a property I was interested in, clicked on to Maddox Real Estate, had a phone call back almost immediately, telling me Maddox himself would be calling me. He did, and we set up an appointment. The time and day came and I was informed his assoicate, Katrena, would show me the property. From the first meeting I felt comfortable with her. Her easy, low key manner, and humor were refreshing. I actually thought she is too good to be true. In the weeks that followed and after viewing several properties, I realized she/Maddox real estate were the real deal. I finally bought a lovely town house. Jason literally saved me thousands of dollars on the deal, and ordered inspections of the property, before closing, that protected my interest. Look no further for professional, honest and gracious real estate agents!"

"If you want to sell your home successfully, ie, get multiple, qualified offers in a short period of time, do this: Hire the pros, and do what they tell you. Katrena and her business partner Jason are complete pros. Together we laid out a timeframe for putting our house on the market that coincided with a trip out of town. Katrena did a special Open House just for our neighbors (who were curious about the renovations we'd done in preparation for selling). That was on a Thursday. That weekend, she held two Open Houses. By noon Tuesday we had thirteen offers, all of them for over our asking price. By Tuesday evening, we'd accepted what we all agreed was the best of the offers. We were able to close in less than thirty days after that. We were happy, the buyers were happy, everyone came out a winner in this deal. Katrena is very "hands on" not only during the prep/staging/sales process, but afterwards as well. She even stopped by our old house to pick up a few packages that had gone to our old address for us! She did everything she could to show our home to advantage. She was so invested in the positive features of our home that we were able to easily do the hardest thing for any homeowner: detach emotionally from the process. She provided a detailed analysis of why she wanted to list our home at the price she did, and we were smart enough not to try to argue. It's a temptation for any homeowner to attach themselves to something they may love about their home that buyers may not appreciate, or feel that their home ought to be listed for a higher price out of pride in the work and love that's been poured into it. This makes the process harder for everyone involved, so if you are a seller, please avoid the temptation. Hire a pro like Katrena, then sit back and let her do what she does so well. You won't be sorry!"

"Katrena is a great Realtor. There were steps in our home buying process that I was uncertain and she would always provide me literature to help aid in any decision. From the beginning she was personable and never aggressive. She prides herself on personal relationships and I'm excited to know that I have met a friend through this entire process. If you want a great realtor that is there with you every step of the way and one that you can actually get in contact with I recommend her. Thank you soooo much Katrena. We love our new home."
