Kathy was wonderful to work with during the entire home search process thru the closing of our new home. She also assisted us in gaining information needed following the closing with info on the community and also regarding DMV, Assessor and other key county/state office information. If we were to search for another home we'd go back to work with Kathy for sure! Professional, communicative and extremely knowledgeable!!! Deb & Steve

Knowing very little about selling my home, I put my complete trust in Kathy Rukat Smith, and she did not disappoint! Kathy guided me every step of the way, showed me what needed to be done and when it needed to be done! If you're buying or selling, give her a call! Like myself you'll be glad you did! -Brenda Brocklehurst

Kathy is by far the best realtor ever and always goes above and beyond for her clients. She helped me purchase a home in SC when I lived in NY which is no easy feat and then helped me sell my investment property. I simply cannot say enough about her and if you are ever in need of a realtor, please give her a call as you will not be disappointed. She is professional, efficient, and super friendly. Give her a call!!

Our story doesn't start out exactly pretty, we had started out working with another realtor and were extremely unhappy with the results that we were receiving. Some friends told us about Kathy and from the first call, you could already feel the difference. Kathy is the most kind, genuine, professional real estate agent my wife and I have ever worked with, from helping us find the perfect home, right through the text message reminders that something was due today. Words can't really describe our experience with Kathy, it was the most effortless real estate experience we have had, almost to the point that we hated to hear the closing date. I'm sure there are many good realtors in the area, but in our opinion, she is by far the best at the beach!! (should be a category) I will assure you we have found our Real Estate Agent forever!! -Eddie Moore

I cannot say enough good things about Kathy Rukat Smith! This is our second transaction with her in a year and she gets it done! Kathy is a great realtor, knows the market and is a supreme negotiator. She has a great team of attorneys, inspectors, insurance agents; which is super helpful when you are from another state. She stays on tops of everything and keeps you abreast of what is happening throughout the whole sale. Every time I had a question she already had the answer. She is the one you want! Team Kathy! -Nicole Sanford

We have worked with Kathy for 15 years. Bough and sold houses, lots and business condos. She is always on top of everything and takes care of all the details. -Rosalie D.

Kathy is the epitome of a true professional. Kathy helped me find the perfect property in 2011 when I was fairly new to the Myrtle Beach area. I was thoroughly impressed by her knowledge, thoroughness and warm personality that I recommended her to others. Earlier this year Kathy helped me with the purchase of another property in Myrtle Beach and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. It is because of these qualities that I have entrusted Kathy with all of my real estate needs. -tcbg489

You far exceeded all expectations we had. Our experience with you was fantastic - we have and will continue to recommend you and will look forward to working with you for future purchases! - Trish and Kevin Jackson

She goes above and beyond and is the more professional and efficient real estate agent you would ever find. She is also the nicest and sweetest person. I couldn't have gotten through everything so smoothly and effortlessly without her help. I highly recommend Kathy Rukat Smith for any of your real estate needs, you won't be disappointed!

Kathy was a joy to work with. She went above and beyond the call of duty on more than one occasion. We would recommend her over and over again. -Carol Thomasson

Kathy did an awesome job for us, from finding the perfect home to negotiating with the sellers to closing, she was there for us every step of the way. If you're looking for an agent on the grand strand you cannot do better than Kathy. -Don Cox

I really enjoyed working with Kathy on finding just the right home for me! She had me at the walk in shower but who knew that a one car garage would be such a nice feature. She answered every text and was there holding my hand the whole way through. She made the process of closing on my home in NC on a Monday and closing on the new house the next day seamless. I will be telling anyone who asks who helped me get my place at the beach, Kathy is the right choice! -Donna Teal

Don't know if I could have built a home living out of state if it hadn't of been for Kathy. By the time our home was finished she was like family. Would recommend to anyone looking for a realtor. She is the best A+! -Sherry Stumme

We have been both buyer and seller using Kathy as our agent on more than one transaction. She is honest - and works FOR you. She is highly recommended by my husband and I.

Kathy was incredibly helpful and friendly. She patiently showed me a lot of places before I finally settled on one even though I know I wasn't one of her more well-off clients looking for a high-end place. She stayed with me through several months and several periods of difficulty with family problems, and there is no doubt in my mind that she keeps her customers need, priorities and resources at the front of the search.

Kathy went above and beyond so many times for us as we went through not only a crazy closing process but also a long journey trying to find our perfect home! She has been so patient and understanding and we couldn't have asked for a better realtor! We highly, highly recommend using her services for anyone looking for a new home! -Dana Zegarski

Kathy was awesome, she tended to our needs and made an otherwise stressful process easy. Very knowledgeable and a true professional. I would definitely recommend Kathy to anyone going through the home buying process. -donnieoh

This was the first time we had a house built. And we were 200 miles away during construction. Kathy was great at providing progress pictures weekly and even a video. It made us feel like we were part of the building experience. -fclarkesc

We can't say enough good things about Kathy Rukat Smith and her team. We found Kathy over a year ago and she stuck with us until we found our retirement hideaway. She was truly warm and friendly and very knowledgeable of the area we were looking at, and took the time to show us many (many) homes. The process of closing on a property out of state was made easy and it was very detailed and professional. If you need a great agent give Kathy a call! -hogerheideml

Working over a three year time period allowed me to see how patient and hard working Kathy is. I found her to be very knowledgeable about the housing market in my area, and very astute at gauging the value, condition, and offer amount for the properties we viewed. Kathy was caring and honest. She truly understood what I was looking for. I now have the home I dreamed of owning. Thanks to Kathy, it's a perfect fit!

We were looking for a great home in South Carolina and in the process found the perfect realtor too. I can't thank Kathy enough! She negotiated a great deal to start, was incredibly organized and always available while working hard on our behalf. During the process I found her videos to be very helpful especially those that covered settling out of state and the ones about insurance. Her calm and professional attitude was key to reducing the stress of settling out of state. We realized our dream of retiring in a wonderful community and have Kathy to thank for it. You ARE simply the best Kathy!

Kathy was recommended to me by a co-worker and she is extremely helpful and patient. She helped me purchase my first home in a new area. Highly recommended! -mdcwd5

Kathy is the best at what she does. She is professional and responsive to your questions and needs around the clock. She is on top of the current sales and woks nonstop to help you reach your goals. She is completely selfless and a true find if you are selling your home or looking to move into the area. She is patient, kind, responsible, and will do anything to help you. Once you meet her, you will know, she is the person to work with. I cannot say enough good things about her! I feel very blessed that she helped my neighbors move down from New York, (that is how ! was referred to her)and was then able to help me sell my home. I cannot imagine anyone better to have gone through the process with! She is truly THE BEST! -Melody Barbour
