Kate grew up in an athletic family in Massachusetts and learned early on the importance of communication, strategy, and teamwork. Her mother, a financial advisor, taught her early-on the value of financial literacy and long-term strategy; captivated and driven by these values, she began her real estate career in 2016.
Kate specializes in residential sales and relocations. Although she finds helping folks sell a memory-filled property, or secure a perfect home and get settled in their new city, incredibly fulfilling, she understands the intricacies of a real estate transaction can sometimes feel overwhelming. Her mission is advocacy and she believes everyone deserves a fiduciary, regardless of your reasons for needing a real estate advisor. In addition to her experience as a relocation specialist, she's a skilled negotiator and has a proven track record of securing fantastic deals for clients. Whether you're buying or selling, she will work diligently to ensure a successful and satisfying outcome.
She has a passion to lead and serve, both within her community and the real estate industry. Kate is actively involved with her local and state Realtor associations, the Women's Council of Realtors, and serves on committees at the National Association of Realtors. All of these ventures have provided immense value to her personal & professional growth, while creating incredible business relationships and a nationwide referral network that has evolved into friendships.
Kate is a foodie who enjoys sports, stand-up comedy, dancing, volunteering, craft coffee & beer, and spending time with loved ones.
