"Working with Kate was such a great experience. She's one of those rare agents who's not only incredibly knowledgeable about the Truckee an Tahoe Donner markets, but is also just a joy to work with. From day one, she was prepared, thoughtful and completely on top of every detail. I always felt like she had our best interests in mind and truly cared. She's trustworthy, responsive, and made the entire process feel easy. I'd work with her again in a heartbeat and can't recommend her highly enough. " - Maz & Katie, Tahoe Donner

"Kate and her entire team earn five stars! Selling a home takes a lot of experienced navigation. Not a path I knew well! Kate served up a lot of great insight, support, and resources quickly to prepare for opening day, which was no easy undertaking. I couldn't have pulled it off without he and the team. And an offer above asking was accepted after just 3 days on the market! " - Jeff, Truckee

About Kate

In real estate, I wear a lot of hats. 
🧭 Sometimes I’m a guide.
šŸ“ˆ Sometimes I’m an analyst.
šŸ‘‚ Sometimes I’m a sounding board.
🧘 Sometimes I’m a therapist (with no co-pay!).
No matter the hat, I’ll always be your brutally honest, slightly caffeinated advocate- dedicated to helping you chase your mountain dreams. 

A little about me: My family and I always envisioned mountain life—fresh air, small-town charm, scenery that makes you pinch yourself, and endless adventures on slopes, trails, and water. We also dreamed of a cozy base camp to warm our toes and welcome friends.

In January 2020, we decided to make it happen… right before the world decided to throw us a plot twist. Thanks, Covid! Our crash course in Truckee real estate and mountain living was wild, but totally worth it.

Luckily, I came prepared. I’ve been a real estate agent since 2005, with previous gigs at large developers, institutional investors, Jones Lang LaSalle, and Engel & Vƶlkers. I’ve been in sales and marketing since 1995 — which means I’ve spent decades mastering client service, negotiation, analysis and how to keep all the plates spinning.

But truly? My favorite part of working with clients in Tahoe/Truckee is helping people confidently pursue and achieve their own mountain dreams. 

If you’re following yours — congrats! It’s a big deal (and I’ll bring the celebratory hot cocoa). 

I would welcome the chance to explore possibilities with you! 🌻
