Kate Cooley

I’ve spent the last 8 years in real estate, starting on the operations side of the business where I supported hundreds of transactions from contract to close. That experience gave me a behind the scenes understanding of how deals really work, how challenges come up, and what it takes to keep everything moving smoothly.

Today, I bring that same calm, detail driven approach directly to my clients. My priority is simple: make sure you feel informed, comfortable, and confident every step of the way, without pressure and without unnecessary stress.

Buying a home should be exciting, not overwhelming. I help make the process fun by keeping things clear, organized, and tailored to you. That means helping you understand the market, narrowing in on the right homes, moving strategically when it’s time to act, and handling the details so you can focus on the exciting parts. My clients always know what’s happening, what comes next, and how to make smart decisions without feeling rushed or confused.

Selling a home shouldn’t feel like a headache. I guide sellers through a thoughtful, step by step plan that covers preparation, pricing, marketing, and negotiations from the start. I help coordinate what needs to happen behind the scenes, communicate clearly throughout the process, and stay proactive so small issues don’t turn into big ones. The goal is a smooth, well managed experience where you feel supported and confident from listing to closing.

I also bring a strong eye for interior design and home presentation. I help clients thoughtfully prepare their homes so they show at their best and connect with buyers the moment they walk in. From layout suggestions and styling guidance to identifying simple updates that make a real impact, I focus on changes that feel intentional and worth it, not overwhelming. The right preparation can make a huge difference in both buyer interest and final results, and I’m there to guide you through it.

When I’m not working with clients, you’ll usually find me in the mountains snowboarding with my two kids and partner, or trying new local restaurants and enjoying everything the beautiful Bay Area has to offer.
